I think it’s kind of widely known by now that leftist men are just as capable of misogyny. I’ve heard “I’m a feminist, you know I’m on your side but women are way too sensitive, he’s a great guy, he was a little drunk, take it as a compliment” or “You know I totally believe we should share the chores equally but do we …

You dingleberry. The Celts were a primarily matriarchal society; if you are going to be pro-misogynist, at least pick better user name synergy.

Pretty much the same thing happens whenever anti-semitism on the left gets brought up.  Told it isn’t real, to shut up, and that it’s just a distraction, or you get called a nazi and screamed at about Israel.

The American online “left” is a disorganized clusterfuck of contrarians and hot takers.

There is only one way to deal with nazis.

You pronounce that sam hane don t you?

They weren’t concerned about white supremacy; they were using our concerns about white supremacy to try and prevent us from calling out white supremacists’ violent misogyny so that they themselves could protect and preserve it as a viable weapon for themselves.

You support serial sexual abusers. 

I’m not understanding something (this is a question about the story, not a gotcha) - if the Proud Boys put out a statement openly admitting their goal was intimidation of a person - even if you were in the most conservative of conservative areas, doing something that stupid to actually declare mens rea publicly thus…

These dudes would argue endlessly about how discussions of racism were distractions from their pet issue: class.

You mean someone like Bernie Sanders, an elected official, who has repeatedly endorsed antichoice candidates because “class” was the “larger issue?”

I would refer you to a show called “Hanna Montana” as to why that doesn’t happen.  

If only law enforcement could find time in their persecution of abortion rights defenders, gays, trans, and drag queens maybe all of these Nazi bastards could be locked up.

An earlier episode this season was directed by Daisy von Scherler Meyer (Party Girl) - I love when prestige TV shows give underappreciated directors a place to go. 

No, he’s worse and he deserves much worse. He’s a fucking creep cop who dated a teenager as some kind of pimp-stash Mata Hari.

Did anyone else notice that Liz Garbus directed this episode? She almost exclusively directs documentaries, so that’s an interesting turn.

I don’t believe for a second that either Callie OR Shauna would talk to the police without a lawyer present. That bothered me a little bit, suspension-of-disbelief wise.

What a surprise, a major conservative voice, who frequently talks about traditional family values, gets pissy when his wife doesn’t want to be treated like property. This is a guy who openly wears a gun harness and smokes cigars on his show because he’s clearly too insecure about his masculinity that he needs to…

I had an older couple once say to me that they love wedding so much because it is such a leap of faith to make with another person. I always really loved that way of putting it.

I’d say it’s that you have a healthy confidence and base your choices on what you want, while the author seems to be more concerned about what she imagines other people might think about her choices. I don’t think insecurity is a particularly New York affliction though.

I don’t know why we have to have shame about enjoying a wedding. I loved mine, did it on a budget. But there is something powerful about a ritual celebrating a life change, you and your spouse declaring you love and your desire to build a life together with your family and friends as witnesses. As humans, we like…
