Well, now that it affects men...

Schwartz was an English lit major at Yale (class of ‘09). An earlier bio indicated that she moved to Paris shortly after graduation. One does not just fall off of the turnip truck and into Yale, off to Paris and then into career writing for the Nation and the New Yorker. She is not without talent, but many talented…

or at least the part where his batshit preacher father convinced him that God has specially chosen him to be president.

Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…

Undecided voter here who is trying hard not to get involved with internecine Democratic turf wars, but-

I think Cruz lacks all human empathy and has no actual strong moral beliefs. He’s just picked social and political conservatism as the pony to ride. Funnily enough, the end result is just the same as Huckabee’s seemingly quite sincere evangelical apocalypticism.

Got to love the fact that many of our leaders are in the equivalent of a death cult, huh? Cracked wrote a good article about that a while ago, I think David Wong wrote it and he’s usually pretty insightful for a comedy writer.

And the dismiss button is your friend. GGers have the entire internet to whine about how unfair it is that they get criticized for their violent misogyny just because they’re violent misogynists. We really don't need to give them space on Jez as well.

Hi! If you’re reading this, you’re probably in the greys, reading the grey comments. I’ll be honest, it’s probably gonna get pretty hairy down here! This is just a friendly reminder to not support any trollish comments or inappropriate behavior. And remember especially—this is REALLY IMPORTANT YOU GUYS—in this case,…

Prepare yourselves, people. The Gators will descend on this page like a swarm, eager to mansplain how these Gators are not affliated with the actual GG movement or some fucking bullshit

I’m not sure it’s true that women want someone who is ambitious and financially secure. In the past that may have been true when we had little means of becoming financially independent. But now, at least, most of my female friends and myself look for a man who will treat us as an equal and support us emotionally.…

I teach 4th grade, and one of my kiddos asked if he could do sharing on Friday. He brought in his iPad and started to talk about his favorite singer who had recently died. He played “Let’s Dance” for the class and shared pictures that he found on the internet. It was the sweetest thing ever! Most of the class had no…

Also his daughter is the child of a world famous musician and supermodel, and I don’t recall ever seeing a picture of even the back of her head, even since his passing. That’s masterful work in this day and age.

This is pretty standard. It’s to ensure the kid doesn’t just just laze around for the rest of their life. Waiting till 25 makes it more likely they’ll finish college and maybe get a job or find something to do with their life other than live off their father’s money.

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

This is so spot on

Yeah, it’s disturbing that there is a subset of white males who think they do not have to examine their innate prejudices because they call themselves progressives.

Attorney here, working with families involved with child welfare. I represent parents and children, and all my clients are indigent. This is so incredibly spot-on. After six years of seeing addiction, domestic violence, neglect, all varieties of abuse, mental illness, and myriad other problems, it’s clear to me the…

God the amount of so-called “liberal” men I met during university who were complete misogynists (one asked if my Women’s Studies class, which I was very excited about as an 18 year old fledgling feminist, taught us “how to insert tampons.”) is almost as high as the amount of conservative men I met who hate women. The…

The weird thing is I went to a Bernie rally and he came off as pretty feminist to me. Like I was surprised because sometimes old socialists like him have some kind of regressive views on women, but he spent a pretty good chunk of time talking about pay equity, childcare, reproductive rights and etc.
