And not that this is the lynchpin argument for our own empowerment, but maybe we should probably start thinking about really hopping on this whole climate change thing before this planet becomes unlivable for most of its (poorest) citizens? You think you can do that without us? Without 52% of the brain power and…

Thank you. I think this is something many women and other marginalized people have experienced firsthand.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope you are getting whatever help you need and if and when you press charges, you get the justice you deserve, unlike what happened here.

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

It doesn’t help that many are first time registrants or voters, and from the anecdotal evidence I get from my Facebook feed, aren’t the most well-versed on the concepts of federalism and separation of powers, or are even aware that we elect offices other than president. I don’t mean this to insult anyone (well maybe a…

Wouldn’t it make sense that the stuff you missed in history class would be almost entirely about women? If you want the podcast to be about men, it would have to be called “the same stuff you learned in history class and pretty much everywhere else, including museums, monuments, popular entertainment, art, literature,…

I really hope he focuses on getting support for local progressive candidates once we hit the general. His ideas will only happen if his supporters still show up for down-ticket races, even if they want to abstain/write in for the presidency. It’s easy to forget amid all the coverage that our local politicians and…

Some helpful hints before you post that #notallmen comment!

And why are people so quick to trust that cops did their due diligence, especially with a domestic violence call? Especially with people who have plenty of reasons to not file a police report?

Maybe the first step is to listen instead of telling women they’re full of themselves for making essentially the same point you’re making? It’s very telling that you see a genuine attempt to understand my own uneasiness, made in pretty benign terms and ending with a statement encouraging tolerance and support of male…

Yeah because if low income communities need, it’s motorcades that can shut down entire blocks during rush hour

So what’s your suggestion? How do we deal with this uneasiness? Because I’m not making this up and I think the experience is a shared one, and many of us have had an experience with a self-proclaimed ally who was anything but.

For me, I’m uneasy with men who say they are feminists without seeming to understand how feminism benefits them, because there’s no way to prove that they aren’t just going along with what’s socially laudable in their community at the time. You aren’t sure if they’ll astill have your back if the tide changes. My…

And of course they only vote for white men because of their “policies” and not because they’re white men...

They can't be blamed! There probably weren't any qualified women available!

Acting!

Portland literally put a bird on it.

Except relationships where one half has been relegated to traditional gender roles at the expense of their own self-fulfillment tend to be wildly dysfunctional. It tends to sow a lot of resentment. Betty Friedan even wrote a whole book about it!

I am a human, not a fucking incubator. I deserve to live my short time on this planet however I want.
