I really wish we could talk more about this. It’s opening a can of worms and invites an Oppression Olympics dialogue, but yeah. It’s still okay to shit on women, and even the most progressive dude will rarely call it out.

I’m coming around to think that this is a much larger issue than most people realize and subsequently it gets little attention. I can’t tell you how often the age of a woman’s children come up when we talk candidate recruitment (as in are her kids too young for her to be able to be an effective candidate) whereas a…

Right, and prior to the resurgence or renaissance of stupid racist fuckers despite incremental change for the better women remain the largest group of folks it’s totally cool to malign and slur. Shit that would cancel your ass in all but the vilest social circles is cool if you said it about a woman vs anyone of any…

Until people on all sides of the political spectrum are willing to admit that yes, sexism still exists, and that yes, they probably contribute to it even unconsciously, and yes, sexism is not okay, and that no, equality doesn’t mean that women need to learn to “take shit like men do” nothing will change.

Oh man, I seriously hope someone robs that dude’s house and police officer is like “hey, you should be grateful someone thinks your stuff is nice enough to steal. Let’s leave it at that sweetcheeks.”

Interestingly, the Republican-led House pushed to also review social media statements made by Democratic Rep. Sherry Frost, whose tweets—“more terrorism is perpetrated by white men who claim Christianity than by Muslims in the USA,”

Okay so, wow, you really can’t distinguish between someone putting out a visual and another person putting their hands on that thing? That’s like me saying, “hey, if you put that new car out in the driveway, you should have no problem with me taking a literal shit on it.”

“Every woman wants to be attractive enough to be raped. It’s like the pinnacle of male desire, when he can’t stop no matter what.”

I hope they sue all those models too. I want all these POS to be made responsible for this, especially that little fratboy who orchestrated the whole thing. I don’t care if he scammed rich kids, he scammed people in the end. Finish him. It’s not like some random Instagram models were advertising the festival. It was…

I don’t think a single person would be negatively effected if fraternities and sororities were all permanently disbanded forever. 

The police officer’s parents are already in the media trying to spin him as a “good father” and a “family man”, never mind that he’s divorced and has two children born within 12 days of each other by two different women.

Where are all of the hysterical Republicans that were complaining about the Clinton Foundation? Fuck all of them.

I posted this is in the initial AHCA post, but there were 600+ comments so I’m sure it got lost. I just wanted to share my experience today in DC because it was so utterly sickening:

That seems fair. As we all know, racism and sexism don’t exist unless you talk about them. So really, she created all of the gender-based discrimination, if you think about it.

Urg, yes. I was on HuffPo and while the trend leaned supportive there were still so many people yellng at her to shut up and go away. Like, wtf. After the election they were all “where’s she, why isn’t she fixing it!” and now that she is back they want her to shut up again.

Evil racist elf fucker.

My hypothesis is that psychopaths are unhindered by feelings of shame or remorse and that is why people like Trump and Dick Cheney will live long and stress-free lives.

Yee-haw! Finally sanity. I am so glad nutrition for children is gone. Why should I have to pay for kids eating in a healthy manner? That is just stupid. I am glad those kids are being cut off. I rarely feed my dogs if they don’t have a fight that day so why would I feed kids? U.S.A.!
