Hah! Okay, so you're one of those "bringing up race makes you a racist" types. We're done here, kid!

It's fine arguing the aspects of slavery/holocaust and how it might relate to feminism, but to call upon the whole institution is a false equivalency at best and an appropriation at worst.

I never did that. I was referencing a movement that is about invalidating WOC's in feminism. It's a huge problem. Have you ever heard of intersectionality?

You were stating the obvious. I'm telling you that an aspect of something does not make a whole.

Are you not familiar with the longstanding issues with comparing feminist causes to slavery and the holocaust? It requires research beyond reading Feminist 101 novels such as "A Handmaid's Tale", "The Color Purple" and reading Jezebel.

Wow, congratulations! You've appropriated "Holocaust" as well as "slavery".

Yes, but that is one aspect of slavery, not the whole institution.

How are you even arguing is favor of this terminology? Comments like this are the VERY reason why WOC feel completely ignored/marginalized in feminist circles. Please understand that the whole "comparing an anti-woman agenda (read: abortion)" to slavery is a common, annoying trope in white (also male) feminist circles.

No, slavery is slavery. Can we please stop comparing everything to slavery?

Hey my friends are in this! Wooop!

Besides the obvious racism on Barney's part, what's really interesting about this story is the "how DARE they buy (insert luxury item)" attitude displayed in the comments.

I wonder if we'll ever get an acknowledgement regarding the Schwyzer matter. Let's not forget that Jez regularly deleted comments criticizing him in each article he posted.

Holy shit. That's my old roommate. I hate living in LA sometimes.

Oh jesus. That was hilarious.

Actually, you'd be surprised.

Don't trust the B, right?

When I heard her speak she proudly declared that she was a virgin. A "born-again" one, at that.

I know this is might not be received well on Liberal Lezebel BUT I NEED TO BE HEARD:

Lol. That area is gentrified to high hell now. Skid Row still exists , but not in the capacity that it once did. Take it from someone that has lived in NYC, SF and LA (and currently resides there).
