I mean, yes, of course they still have violence against women. But they also have lower incidents of fatality. According to one study, “Women in the U.S. are 11x more likely to be murdered with guns than women in other high-income countries.”Source: http://www.thehotline.org/resources/fire…

Your faith in the public is significantly higher than mine.

Hillary type = gloria steinem, white feminists, don’t give a crap about minorities or income inequality just want a women in the white house who’s equally corrupt as the men. I’m so tired of the way we lump in white women with minorities and gays, when they were standing right beside they’re husbands at the anti-black…

hillary supporters are the definition of white feminism. When i brought up the “super-predators” comments they all told me it was 20 years ago and to get over it! While also constantly ignoring the huge diversity of the sanders supporters is out right despicable. It’s bullshit.

Because she’s endorsing Bernie or because you think she’s a bad actress? I fail to see the causation between this post and you’re comment, unless we’re just taking the time to shit on people for fun... in which case, she’s far less annoying than many of her contemporaries, like Bieber, Miley. Not everybody can be…

I’m not sure what you’re getting at with the “cool girl” comment, or what the “Bernie type” means either. Bernie’s supporters are extraordinarily diverse. In many contests—especially open ones—he’s split the female vote. In fact, despite the mainstream medias constant proclamation otherwise most of Bernie’s support…

In stereotyping a #teambernie “type,” you’re effectively ignoring many of us who are, in fact, lifelong feminists, like Nina Turner, Tulsi Gabbard, Michelle Alexander (author of The New Jim Crow) who also support Sanders. Not to mention me—a 40-something Latina who holds multiple degrees, works three jobs to survive,…

HarvestMoon has been “typing” liberals for the last few months. Indeed, she and many moderates around here have eschewed all pretense, and will exclusively talk about your identity over policies which aid the oppressed. Liberals have been chased away from formerly-liberal spaces (like Jezebel); and with certain states…

There isn’t a team Bernie “type”. Shailene Woodley is as far away from me as possible- black, meat loving, thinks crystal magic is bullshit, openly feminist/womanist, can’t stand Shailene Woodley, etc- but I’m a Bernie Sanders supporter. It’s annoying as fuck when Hillary supporters just dismiss us, especially since I…

Don’t even joke about it, I’ve been despairing that this will be our end a lot lately. The conservatives are desperate to ruin the poor.

It is alarming the way some Americans are so oblivious to reality. To be fair they do start drilling it into us pretty young how America is the best, the freest, etc. But there is really no excuse to remain so oblivious with all the information so readily available to us with the internet and everything.

It’s one reason I can’t change jobs. I have special coverage for really expensive drugs. If I had to pay a standard 20 or 30% I’d be broke.

I just wanna say, as a Brit who has grown up under the NHS his whole life, my heart really aches for my many American friends who struggle with the way things are over there. I visit the states fairly frequently, and I got caught low on Asthma inhalers during a visit a few summers back. I started having really bad…

you know what makes this extra sad? florida declined medicaid expansion for no fucking reason whatsoever. we’re the richest country in the world. people shouldn’t have to make these choices, especially not because of idiot politicians trying to stand their ground on absolute fucking nonsense.

Jesus Christ this is a condescending post. Sinead O’Conner has had 20 years of professional help. For many people mental illness is a life sentence. So your assertion that “it works” is both a lie and a slap in the face to people who aren’t going to ever permanently recover.

Well, that’s the whole Puritan/patriarchy thing for you....

Using racial/cultural slurs against someone is racist hateshit, not merely ‘exhausting’.

Right? I have any number of friends here in the Bay Area who have directly experienced racism here, and we’ve talked about it, and it’s like WTF? I mean the San Francisco police department was recently busted over racist garbage running rampant between the officers in email and stuff. And just because somebody is…

Totally agree, that this is about more than the election. I just don’t want this motherfucker nominating any Supreme Court nominees in the meantime. It’s a bit jarring to me, as a 31 year old white person, to hear all these terrible things put into sentences when I’ve been taught my whole life that racism was a crime…

exactly! and jesus christ, it really shows how easy it is for people here to agree with bullshit. One article about how guns are therapeutic for one rape victim and boom, this entire site becomes an NRA fansite. Honestly i just hope they don’t have an article about how voting for Trump is therapeutic because then this…
