Meanwhile, in reality...

If you’re following what’s going on in France, it’s been very interesting to see the emergence of what you might call a pragmatic centrist movement that appears poised to completely demolish the existing Socialist-Republican two-party system. Macron is recruiting hundreds of young people and non-politicians to run for…

Thanks for saying that. The constant string of posts about his daughter and his own issues, coupled with the incessant need for affirmation is deeply upsetting.

That...doesn’t make much sense. Humans, especially female humans have buttocks, some well-defined and large.

Well, fuck, I sincerely hope that is made up. If it isn’t, I again say that at this point in the evolutionary cycle we should be better than this. And I kinda hate you for putting this in my head.

If “society” finds women’s bare breasts unpalatable...it’s just more proof how fucked up this society has always been.

Do you really, really think they are marching for the human rights of brown women and girls across the world?

I see very few rap artists that ever get called out (whether the artist is Eminem or Ice Cube etc.) for the violent and degrading lyrics about women in their songs. There seems to be a huge double standard — racism is OF COURSE wrong—but why is sexism something that’s acceptable? Women are constantly harassed,…

anyone protesting ‘sharia law’ in the us is simply saying i have no idea what sharia law is.

I cannot understand where you people live where there isn’t a crushing expectation of monogamy and marriage. I assume in a fairly liberal, large city, because I am decidedly not monogamous (and like you, I can no more force myself into monogamy/monoamory than you can force yourself into polyamory), and I have gotten…

The fact that this book and this article can obsess so much over ‘marriage’ instead of the actual relationship (or use marriage as if it means the same thing as a relationship) tells me we have a long way to go until people approach relationships in a healthier way.

It’s not as simple as just not “allowing” someone to abuse you.

Looking at the comments Im surprised to see that no one else seems to take any issue with / notice how extremely stereotypical all these accounts by married couples ‘all over the world’ are? The indians in a village say ‘find peace’ and the Americans in a big city say ‘take it in your own hands,’ the French say ‘keep…

I’m sure Nicki Minaj means well, but such casual philanthropy especially mixed with evangelism does way more harm than good in India, especially in an under-developed region.

This entire Saudi trip is so bizarre and emblematic of everything that’s wrong with both the US and the Arab world: 

So, while I hated to see Gawker go, their coverage of Clinton was horrendous, and I’m glad that whichever dude-bros. who survived the purge no longer have the influence they had on Gawker.

This would have been on Fox News with Hannity and O’Reilly screaming that Hillary wasn’t taking her debate prep seriously, Bernie would have gone on MSNBC to complain that it’s evidence she was using the “woman card” to gain sympathy, and the Times would have published an op-ed about how she was releasing candid tapes…

Hear hear. No one wants to make sacrifices in the name of feminism any more. Distorting it by making it about personal choice allows a person to avoid taking a stand on the things that might make life uncomfortable. Imagine if Alice Paul, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Gloria Steinem,  Belle Hooks, or any…

I hate him and I need him to go away now. My dislike turned to rage as soon as he started throwing reproductive rights under the bus. He’s another tool for Putin and not much more at this point.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Bernie is just the progressive version of the new-old white guy in the oval office. They both operate on populism, and soundbites. He just recycles progressive talking points without any original ideas. His supporters treat him like some kind of left-wing messiah with all the answers.…
