I believe the “yes all white people” is referring to the systematic privilege that benefits all white people, and the violence that upholds it can thus be attributed—even indirectly—to all white people. In the same way that #notallmen is wrong, it’s wrong to claim #notallwhitepeople here. However, her initial wording

well said. I also think that too many white people are isolated from this kind of feedback, so when they hear it they freak out. If you, a white person, actually have deep relationships with people of color, you will be familiar with such sentiments and understand what is actually being said and not personalize it. Or

I’ve seen where the child, on their own, figured out that the father was the main source of problems, even despite him bad mouthing the mother all the time. Unfortunately that was well into her 20's when she came to that slow realization.

Too bad it’s not adorable twins. You take one. He takes one. Move to the opposite coast. Just be careful the summer camp they attend.

but much worse he talks bad about me to our four year old daughter.

Or these pipe people

A man wrote that? It takes me like 10 seconds to start a stream of pee. I don’t think the temporal measurement of 0 to piss has gender as a major factor. But then, I don’t really think about that stuff.

“We’ve been marooned on this island for 25 years now, but I feel it really needs to be said. Jessica, I don’t like you.”

And yet, there will be hostile glances and whispering behind other girls’ backs. Almost like stabbing each other with pointed sticks, only not quite.

Ugh I DO NOT GET the appeal of Updike and his fellow mid-20th-century white male authors. They don’t see women as people, it’s as simple as that. Same for Philip Roth, which is a real shame, because he is an extraordinary writer otherwise (but I can’t read his books because of the all shrews and harpies tearing

Have you seen the scripts and books men write for female characters? No woman thinks about her breasts and body that much throughout the day. Ever. If my breasts are bouncing around, I probably don’t have a good bra. Not because I’m arousing myself and loving the male protagonist’s attention.

She’s the spokesperson for how to spend as much as possible to eat as little surrounded by the most useless things available.

Because why would you want to pay homage to a woman author or have any women involved in a film about young women?

13 year old boys are the kings of cruel. Show me a teenage girl tearing through a grade/high school with assault rifles and I might consider that bs.

Some men write women very well. Very few men in Hollywood do.

Is everyone going to say sorry every time they accidentally bump into one another?

A lot of the outcome in the insane Thiel/Hogan/Gawker verdict can be attributed to the venue (Pinellas county, like a lot of Florida, is overrun with Trumpkins and other sundry haters of “facts” and “reality”). With that in mind, this case is being filed in New York County, which I would surmise is a lot less likely

Of fucking course he is.

Anyone smell Peter Thiel trying to sue another liberal leaning website out of existance? Hopefully this will be thrown out before it gets started, as frivolous litigation.

It’s the Peter Thiel model, ruinous and ugly. Once, we assumed that a celebrity who sued had probably suffered a real, malicious injury (as in the groundbreaking Carol Burnett lawsuit against Mad Old Donald’s favorite print outlet, the National Enquirer): now, we have to allow for the possibility that the lawsuit
