“Not all Christians”? Don’t be obtuse. She never said they all did.

When I was in my 20s, I used to tell friends “amusing” stories of being sexually molested by a doctor at the age of 11. It was my way of trying to persuade myself that what happened to me wasn’t so bad. It kind of worked, but only for a while.

Exactly. I’m a woman, and I hold doors for men and women alike if they’re close enough to me.

He had them fixed. (Of course! — he was British, after all!)

That’s because he’s 30 years older than she is!

If they call Hillary “Hitlery,” then no, they can’t be “decent folks.”

Don’t you know that anger doesn’t count as an emotion?

And LGBT people, too. My son isn’t looking forward to a Republican president, and neither am I.

Don’t you realize that everything has to be subordinated to the class struggle?

affected!

I’ve seen way too many of them insist that they’ll never vote for Hillary, because there’s no difference between her and the Republicans. How privileged do they have to be (straight white cis male privileged, I think) not to understand the differences, and to believe they won’t be personally effected if a Republican…

Which just shows that “whiteness” is an entirely constructed and largely meaningless socio-political category, with differing definitions entirely dependent on the chronological period, the geographical location, and the prejudices of the person providing the definition. It doesn’t have much to do with actual skin…

If you’re being serious, you should tell your wife that “white” does not equal Northern European with skin the color of snow. Or does she also think that Spanish people, Italians, Greeks, European Jews, and all other Mediterranean people aren’t white either?

I think it’s a real stretch to describe quite a few of the movies on that list as being about Jewish life — let alone in normal, everyday settings — but in general I agree with you.

I hope you’re not a parent, and that if you ever become one you’ll change your thinking.

There was a controversy just within the last year concerning a Christian romance novel about a concentration camp commandant and a Jewish prisoner falling in love. I think he saves her, and she converts to Christianity at the end. So, a happy ending for all! And nobody involved could seem to understand why this was…

Exactly. I’ve lived in two Manhattan apartments in the last six years since I moved back to NYC, and neither has had a dishwasher.

What do you mean, “who said anything about her voting”?? Read what it says — that she “actively campaigned AND VOTED” for Goldwater. The claim that she voted is obviously false; why should I believe that she “actively campaigned”?

She wasn’t old enough to vote in 1964. So half of what it claims is false.

No, no. Acting award nominations only go to cis people playing trans people, not to actual trans people.
