So no big surprise, people that are invited to judge other people on a show about judging people judged people in a really shitty way and now shitty people are judging them shittily. I'm not sure what square root of shit we are at here, I'm guessing shit to the tenth power (roughly).
One thing I like out of this whole situation is that Lorde sent Joe cupcakes and a note encouraging him to continue being himself, continuing to prove that Lorde is a Good Teen.
Melanie Blatt is english & in England "twat" isn't a gendered insult nor is it a particularly harsh one.
On one hand I'm glad people are angry at her, she was completely out of line and like... disturbingly rude. I felt really bad for the guy, although he seemed to be able to handle it alright.
But yeah, the gendered insults are definitely a problem, and I really don't enjoy seeing the internet rise up as a mob and attack…
it's not just this incident alone- earlier in the week willy moon was cut off entering a car park at a local bakery in Auckland and proceeded to berate the woman who entered prior to him by hissing that she was a "cunt" much to the dismay of multiple bakery patrons. An open letter to moon was written by the woman via…
Not to mention ISIS. I mean, we have bigger fish to fry here, lady. You can't solve anything unless you solve my thing first.
She doesn't have any grounds to sue on behalf of other people, but if her life is being threatened by these idiot tweeters, then she can sure as hell try for some jsutice. The fact that it is so rampant is the problem, and the more these idiots get called out, the closer we may get to changing attitudes
And I bet not a single one of those guys would self-identify as sexist. They're only kidding, and it's our fault for taking them seriously.
"because of unconscious bias, men often appropriate the ideas of female counterparts and get all the credit". Yeah, "unconscious".
The dude interrupting females thing is SO obvious to everyone who is not a dude. If I could have one wish its that I could get the men in my life to understand that one tiny infuriating constant thing that happens so that we can THEN discuss how sexism affects us all. But they are all (white, black, gay, straight,…
Because other white dudes can not understand what diversity means unless it comes from the mouth of white dudes. How can they know what's important to listen to, unless the ladies are interrupted and corrected by people who actually know how the world works?
These stories always remind me of the Michael Scott Diversity Training
Imma let you finish. Wait, no I'm not; I have a penis.
This is a story of how one of the worst days of my life ended up reaffirming my faith in strangers and in the human race in general.
Yeah, and there is of course no shit anywhere near that meat he's eating when they butcher it. Because they give the cows a colon cleanse right before.
After the babies were born, I'd sometimes forget about them—not in a leave-them-in-the-car way, but, like, when they'd wake me up at night I'd be confused for a few seconds. "What the fuck is that godawful noise? Oh, yeah... it's you. You're a thing."
It happened with all three kids. New babies are brain-fucks, man.
My uterus is lined with only the finest, plushest velvet
Dude, you asked why we always hear about 'rejected males', and that is why. The extreme reaction is EXACTLY what people in the middle are afraid of. Girls & women these days have no way of knowing whether saying a firm "No" will result in the harasser going away, or the harasser shooting her in the face.
