It is very well accepted vernacular to call Women “females” in the military. It used to drive me insane on a daily basis.

God, who really gives this much of a flying fuck? Either she has a baby bump, or she doesnt. Its really not that important. Move along.

Visibility isn’t the problem.

very convincing argument

If you are taking selfies while being in a protest then you have anything to protest against.

Disabled people. Queer members of the family. Etcetera

I know I could read other articles, and I have - but considering this is an article on that topic, I just think in order to make its point it should actually do the work of citing examples.

I wish this article were more specific. What were the changes that were made to the Women’s March platform that caused some women to leave? Did Lupita really faced twice as much risk and got half as much credit as all the other actresses coming forward at the same time? Are there examples of black actresses coming…

Even if it doesn’t happen, isn’t the fact that everyone is  expecting a strong reaction indicative of a serious problem?

It doesn’t help that those in the position to be visible and speak out are predominantly white. How many black actresses will magazines invite just to shoot the shit on their pages about enemas, how many black writers are routinely featured in publications, how many black writers/journalists are on sites like this…

If i had known this article was going to be posted I would have taken the day off. The comments under this are going to be legendary. The only way this could be better if it gets cross posted to The Root.

Just here for the comments:

If Trump insists on calling it a witch hunt, can we burn him at the stake when he’s inevitably found guilty?

Don’t care, played with lemurs.

I feel like you would need the rpm if you have a manual transmission. Because if you just toss the rev gauge away, then you don’t know where redline, most economical shift point etc is. Automatic would be fine because the car is programmed to shift for you

Including the author of that statement apparently.......
