I agreed with you up until the line about his "Jewish wit" (whatever that is). The fact that Allen is Jewish has nothing to do with this.

Oh, Woody... you really should've just kept fucking quiet because this didn't help one bit prove that you were "innocent". One thing really stuck out to me: his response to the allegations.

I can't believe he would even use the possibility that Mia was unfaithful to question her integrity when HE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH HER DAUGHTER

...I found the idea so ludicrous I didn't give it a second thought.

Dylan's response combats WA's crap point for point. She has been so strong through all this, and I hope that her show, in turn, provides other victims with some strength of their own.

Thanks Dalstongirl : -) It would never even occur to me to argue a point on white supremacy / black oppression with you. (white woman here). Much less tell you that you're wrong for being angry about that oppression. Allies need to do a lot less talking and a lot more listening when they're interacting with the

He is a journalist. Whether or not I like him has no bearing on whether or not he should be held to ethical standards. I agree that the dehumanizing language is "most accessible" to people, but it's also WRONG. There is no value is promoting a false narrative. Middle America being stupid is also not an excuse. THE

Mock could have [...] used the show as a platform to teach Morgan and his viewers.

Um, did you not notice that instead of listening to her, he just doubled down and refused to learn anything? You can't claim ignorance and then when the offended party tries to educate you about why what you've said is offensive and how to properly speak about the subject matter, refuse to listen, acknowledge, and

Mock could have taken it as a moment to be an ambassador for trans people and used the show as a platform to teach Morgan and his viewers.

Exactly this. I can 100% believe that he was not trying to offend when he initially said "born a boy." What I can't wrap my head around is that when she said it was offensive he decided to argue her to the ground about whether it was or not instead of learning something new.

I've never understood how privileged people (white men seem particularly prone to this) can't accept that THEY DON'T GET TO CHOOSE WHAT'S OFFENSIVE TO THE OFFENDED PARTY!! Just because you didn't mean to be offensive doesn't mean you weren't offensive.

Yay! Nice to see some love for Rage Against the Minivan!

"Dark Spot Remover", you say? That's some spot.

Morgan's questions played into the narrative that trans* people are somehow hoodwinking with gender. And, yes, that narrative gets people killed. It is a tool used to make trans* people appear to be deceitful, disordered, and alien. It is the same dehumanization we have seen used against Jewish people,

Tranlation: "Political correctness", the movement that has made it less acceptable for white, straight men to say whatever the fuck they want to and about whoever the fuck they want, is a pain in the ass! The resulting social pressure that happens is just...too...uncomfortable...and isn't fair because people are

When it's absolutely necessary (and it bears repeating that trans women don't need to be reminded they are trans women every other sentence), "Male assigned at birth" (MAAB) is the most common terminology, and one with which Mock has said she is comfortable.

Anyone else growing increasingly uncomfortable with this site's relentless, pointed obsession with the physical appearance of Lupita Nyong'o? It's bordering on fetishization.

Read the article about how they did the experiment. They were asked to remember an actual man's face. When they thought he was educated they remembered him with lighter skin, when they thought he was ignorant, they remembered him as darker. It's not about who actually IS successful, it's about the perception that

Oh, is water still wet too? Hmm.
