I’m ambivalent about this. While I know some conservatives will use any ridiculous argument possible against us, including completely false claims, no matter what we do, I also cringe at the thought of giving them more ammunition. Also, there are a lot of otherwise reasonable, fairly intelligent men and women who…

I had involuntary disgust face. I’m not ready for triumph yet, you know?

Exactly. These victims’ pain, families and relationships/friendships that were ruined, jobs that were lost (from shows being shut down, projects ending, etc) is nothing to be gleeful or boastful about. This is a extremely painful thing for many people directly and indirectly affected.

Couldn’t agree more. No schadenfreude, I’m just sad and depressed every time another guy is ‘knocked down’. It’s disheartening that abuse has apparently been the norm everywhere and is so all invasive. All the power and strength to everyone who has the courage to come forward and to everyone who battles with their…

I agree. The current anti-feminist rallying cry is that the feminist movement for “equality” is merely a pretense and in actuality feminists want to strip men of all power and subjugate them to women. I hear this argument from conservative women even more often than from conservative men. This sweater plays right into…

I think you’re (intentionally) misunderstanding what this article is actually saying.

Keep going, and when she’s criticized, or white women are criticized, remember that POC are criticized all the time and still keep going. Meet criticism, hate with love and acceptance. Listen. Make sure to come out just as much for racial justice issues. But I’m a white woman too, this is just what I try to do. Other…

Likely no one complained to them before. I had never heard of DS before this (not that I would) but I doubt they audit all the sites they host?

Just wait. Stephen Miller is going to cite this case as incontrovertible evidence that the pro-choice movement is actually a front for human traffickers and that motherhood is the key to avoiding being kidnapped.

How about since Trevor Noah took over the Daily Show the guests have been way more diverse in every way possible and his writing staff is also better than when Jon was the host and showrunner.

“Hey, he likes black women, he can’t possibly be racist!”

Says something about the weak state of progressivism in this country.

msybe not to those in the know. But he is viewed as some kind of Progressive. His ratings and twitter followers and Retweets show that.

No, you see it’s super hard to find liberal black comedy writers. /s

Well, remember when Snoop Dogg did that video showing trump getting shot in the head? No one called for the end of his career.

So right.

One more thing- I’ve actually seen comments defending Maher saying, “Hey, he likes black women, he can’t possibly be racist!”

Before this happened I was wondering what the reaction would have been if a man had done Kathy’s stunt instead of her. This isn’t quite the same, but it’s similar enough to make an interesting comparison.

I fucking loathe this smug jackass. I bet he’ll get a pass on this, while people were calling for the end of Kathy Griffin’s career the other day. We see one photo about one shitty person from someone who will never act on that bullshit vs. Maher throwing out a slur that hurts millions of Americans and will be copied-…

I’m glad the rest of the world is finally figuring out he’s a 61 year old edge lord with nothing meaningful to say.
