Right? Gamergate’s entire reason for suggesting a panel was to counteract a panel about finding ways to make it harder for them to harass and threaten women. The fact that SXSW approved a panel that exists solely to say “Fuck you, cunts, we’ll dox you, threaten to rape and murder you, and try to drive you to commit…

This is not a new or novel phenomena. If you have any money whatsoever (which is defined as more money than the people you work with) and you do charitable work, you will eventually find someone who views you as their “savior” or their “ticket out.” I’ve seen this again and again.

Well, he must be relieved that he can now ditch his “jury-friendly nerd” costume and return to his original “lax bro” look.

Your pain and loss are completely valid, and your gender is not a qualifier for betrayal. You deserve/d a mom. I'm so sorry.

Thanks. I know I often come off as fairly brash, but the headline was sort of hurful to me.

What’s with the gender specific “Ladies” in the headline?

What the everloving fuck does support for gay rights have to do with whether or not you want to date a trans guy? Are you all for Black/Latino/Jewish/short guys’ rights even though it’s “ridic” for them to contact you, too?

Also, because of your user name, I’ll also confess that when I do get paranoid, I often get hypertuned to my cats’ moods. Calm and relaxed? Okay, calm down. There’s no ghost here. Hyperfocused or avoiding a certain area of the house? THEY CAN SENSE GHOSTS EVERYONE KNOWS IT.

Wasn’t referring to Jews, who are Jews and have thousands of years of interpreting the Tanakh. I was referring to those people who call themselves “Christians” but appear never to have actually read the Gospels and prefer instead to cherrypick from Deuteronomy and Leviticus, mostly the hateful stuff about gay people…

Rambam [whose writings were less favorable to women than many other medieval rabbis] rules, “[Her husband] should not coerce her [to have relations] when she does not desire to do so. Rather, [they should engage in intercourse only] when there is mutual desire and pleasure.”

I love the idea that one bad ass woman's words could echo down the centuries as precedent like that.

I’m not sure what you intended by “Deuteronomicans/Leviticans,” but let me assure you that Jews (you know, the ones that actually wrote the Bible) do not believe anything like this. To the contrary, one of the fundemental obligations of a husband in Judaism is to make sure his wife has her sexual needs fulfilled.…

Why stop at “not looking at her face”? Why not put a pillow over it? or 2 pillows?

It’s baffling. The feeling I get from her is it’s almost like she’s feeling mocked somehow? Like “this ‘caricature’ of a woman wants to be in our ‘club’ but she’s really just making fun of women and making us look like a joke.” ??? That’s the closest I can come to trying to understand the cruelty of her reaction. I…

This rhetoric comes from anger. As a feminist myself who was raised by a second waver...I have a close family friend who is over sixty and is just now starting his transition from male to female. She has always been her. It wasnt till five fucking minutes ago we could have meaningful public discourse about this shit.…

God, this turned my stomach.

I for one love the irony of a so called feminist dictating how women should look, sound, or behave.

Just for the sake of clarity, it was myself and Rachael Melhuish (who set up the petition) who have been heading up this campaign to get her uninvited from speaking at a public event hosted by Cardiff University.

How hard is it to leave people alone? If you don’t think they are real women, so what? They’re not going to need your permission to live their lives, and you can’t take away their right to take hormone therapy and wear the clothes they want, so what do you want to accomplish here? Jail them? Encourage more…

LOL I have fibromyalgia and bad arthritis in my hips and knees. Ocasionally someone will ask why “someone as young as you needs a cane” I then reply that most of my thigh muscle was eaten by African Soldier Ants when I was staked out in their path as a sacrifice in my youth. Or I was bitten by a shark. Or the leg…
