You're right. I think an actual converstation on a feminist blog about racism within sororities in general would be much more useful, don't you?

Funny I thought this was called allowing someone to define themself.

Doesn't everyone have the right to not take on absolutely any label simply because they wish it not too? I personally am against being forced to be told what politics I ascribe to without my say so, in particular since it is at least possible I have…

"After all, as Aziz Ansari said on David Letterman's show recently, everyone's a feminist now. Unless you think Beyonce shouldn't have the right to vote, should earn 23 percent less than Jay-Z and should be at home cooking rather than performing. And who would think that?"

Isn't this kind of like saying everyone who…

I'd say because currently power in this country rests on the opinions of white people. That's not going to change and it's important, whatever way white people currently can, to have this conversation and have it publicly. Regardless of generally rightness, the ablity of white oppinons to cause social change,…

Because in at least parts of our legal justices system, the point is reform and not vengeance.

This is an example of that. You do your time, don't commit crimes any more and try to live a normal life. That's the deal.

Also, perhaps, because rarely does one event a nation experiences over the television accurately…

Well. no one is universally respected by all people for the history of the universe, so that is a bad choice of words. But by and large by everything that has come up in the press around here, not to mention this very article, it sounds like people really do just like people who do there job well.

nope.

(wipes remaining vomit from chin)

I doubt it. She was just good at her job. Seems pretty universally respected to me in the press as far as I could see.

At first I couldn't figure out quite why I was still upset by the things Hatred depicted when I discovered how dumb/schlocky they were, but then I realized that—for me—the game served as a kind of mirror. Because as I said at the start of this article, Hatred really isn't all that different from other games. It only…

That kind of assumes all men are the same boring, violent, dude-bro stereotype.
Which is not only false, it actually is by definition sexist:

sexist:
Attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender.

It sounds like a fair opinon to me. While there are many portrays of male friendships in videogames, they are all pretty stereotypically an, frankly, pretty offensive to me.

An action rpg about men that is not exclusively dude bro and see the relationships of men as, god forbid, diverse and healthy is the exact…

1) It's not your boss's responsibility to raise you into a functioning adult.
2) Children are not adults.

Very easily. When I lied or was esp. disrespectful (this happened about 5 times total), my father would tell me to go to my room, sit down with me very calmly, we would discuss what I did wrong and why he punishment was necessary. Dad was a talker and it was Christian house, so by the end of the conversation I pretty…

I would assume that depends on where you see these men as indivusals or part of a collective group. The troope of the empower white male built protagonist is hardly an agent of empowerment for all men. Granted, I'm black, so this is particularly true of me, but a LARGE amount of men in America not white. I bring up…

There are certainly plenty of ideas on the role of government to go around. I think regardless of political bent, though, the idea the protection of life and property is the most basic function of government. Even on that level and for many decades, the idea local government has completely failed to support black…

Because they are citzens of the city and the job of government is to give a fuck about them?

Because it makes everyone safer if all people in the city are treated like their lives matter?

Dude, who the fuck are you to speak for the whole of the country and the experience of black people in it? You are completely talking out of your ass. Talk to black people and, surprise surprise, pretend that they are functioning human beings that have the ablity to articulate their own experience. Because, surprise…

States have vastly different oppinons on what legally constitutes marrage and the right to an abortion. In this as in other cases, the states oppinon is not really the point. how we, and you in the context of this conversation, define human rights is.

I was accused of rape in college by a friend of mine who I likewise did not have sex with. I am not the only one of my friends with who this happened. My issue with these statistics is that in my own case and case that I have heard of is that the police are not involved. It is more an accusation that is circulated…

The right of society to judge based on what a person wears has always been in flux. There has been huge shifts in what a women can wear publicly inorder to be "worthy of being respected." I personally think the idea that we should judge anyone, including people who's job it is to engineer complex simulations of life…
