Men are shitty. And tech/nerd dudes are extra shitty.
One reason we get so annoyed about this is because we can follow all these dumb rules and still get raped. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped drunk. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped sober. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped by strangers. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped by friends. People want to set up all these…
Accept your role in what happened, learn from the experience and move on.
I get so enraged; I just wrote an email to a tv station who did a short ‘on this day’ on Arthur Ashe. Ashe was a wonderful person and player, but the short doc claimed he was the first African American to win Wimbledon, the US, be number one in the world, and to be inducted into the International tennis hall of fame-…
If you have to say “No, I’m not defending rapists,” then yes, you are probably a rape apologist.
Oh, you don’t have to be sexist to participate (Andy Murray certainly isn’t). But the joy we all took when Billie Jean King won was sweeter because of who Riggs was.
I hope she goes to Men’s Wimbledon next year and annihilates Roger Federer.
The BBC did a montage of Serena reading her favourite poem, ‘And Still I Rise’ by Maya Angelou.
Update: Serena and Venus just won the women’s doubles title as well. Their 6th at Wimbledon and Grand Slam 14th overall (tied for second most of all time).
I sometimes think if men knew the actual truth, they’d die of shame from silencing women all these years. It’s why they fight us so hard when we do attempt to tell our stories: they do NOT want to know that this happened to women they cared about—their moms, grandmothers, great-grandmothers (god knows worse things…
It was fascinating to watch the Bill Cosby narrative shift seamlessly — and almost instantaneously — from “If he’s been doing this for so many years, there would be hundreds of victims, so he can’t possibly be guilty” to “All these accusers prove that women are just jumping on the bandwagon for a payday, so he can’t…
Horrible but not surprising. I think a lot of people assume Bill Cosby’s actions were unusual, when the truth is behavior ranging anywhere from sexual harassment to outright rape has long been seen as one of the perks of fame & power. If you could get Ailes and other men to speak honestly about their actions, they’d…

Or, there’s always the old standby: “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
Also, sorry you’re so long-winded that twitter oppresses you. There are easy fixes for that, boys.
Lard spare me white men who think social media is “silencing” them. Nope, it’s just allowing other, more interesting voices to finally be heard.
Some of you should try and become leaders in the conservative movement, because it appears that you’re a tiny minority. Joe Walsh’s tweet is getting a lot more attention than Newt’s.
Because, Clam, they typically tend to demonstrate a complete lack of empathy, compassion, and introspection. You would know this if you followed politics even a bit.
Newt Gingrich, the villainous toad in the Disney movie of my nightmares, just said that white people don’t know what…
