Well said. Also, if what you wrote really is her issue, that’s simply the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s like the guys whose masculinity is so tenuous that it can be entirely ruined by a woman beating them at air hockey. If your identity is THAT fragile, the problem is you.

and I don’t get losing her absolute shit about ... accurate language? Like, if you’re talking about menstrual needs you want to talk to people who menstruate. Not all cis women do! Some trans men do! 

I think the thing that gets me the most is, re-reading the “people who menstruate” headline, you can read it entirely innocuously. As in not applying to post-menopausal women. But, nope, that’s not where JK’s mind went, at all.

I wonder if TERFs get as aggro about other words as they do about “woman” and “female” when it comes to insisting that words which are later used to refer to a biological distinction have always and exclusively used to refer to (a middle-school-level simplification of) that distinction. Are we (since eggplant, squash,…

She was always a reactionary fool, that’s why the harry potter books are filled with horrible right wing propaganda

The number of transwomen who have assaulted people in bathrooms is literally fewer than the number of Republican congressmen who have done so....

From what I could gather from reading her other screeds she feels her experiences as a woman are so insecure and tenuous that even if she considers for a drunken hot second that a trans woman is a woman and not some third made up “something” her experiences of childbirth and puberty will be worthless. Every emotion…

With very few exceptions that barely even apply anyway, I don’t have any reason to care about the genitalia/chromosomes/hormones someone was born with, nor do I care about the genitalia/chromosomes/hormones anyone has today. Nor am I about to start arguing with people about how to refer to them! If someone tells me…

My issue here is that I think it's incumbent upon the accuser to demonstrate that it is, indeed, imitative, rather than adoptive.  Put simply, maybe Awkwafina just talks that way sometimes?

What you’re describing is multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is good, actually! Multiculturalism is the basis for respectful and inclusive pluralism in a lot of places. Canada for example. 

Quitting Twitter is always the right choice. But that aside... It’d probably be wiser for her or other celebrities who have their turn at being called out not to address it or defend themselves and let the social media critics have their say. It almost always blows over or burns out and you just look like you’re…

A debate over cultural appropriation and Awkwafina’s blaccent you say?

This comment section is full of people who have no idea what they are talking about. It’s sad. And also exactly why no real racial progress is being made. So many people of privilege who are unwilling to admit there is an issue or to listen to the populations who are affected when they speak about the harm being done.

First they come for medical abortions.

I’m shocked that someone could go on a date with Kanye in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-two and not expect something like this. Amber Rose is pretty open that he was a hot mess, and he was a hot mess the whole way through the Kardashian relationship.

Exactly. Feminism isn’t - and should never be - supporting women at all cost because they’re women, regardless of their actions. The Kardashians are interesting because it’s hard to tell if they’re a symptom, or one of the causes of a lot of what is wrong with social media and celebrity culture. As much as I can’t…

Should we also contemplate the emotional/mental well-being of a person who would actually want to date Kanye?

I know people who think this kind of thing is normal and live in a constant state of drama and toxicity in their relationships. For anyone who needs to hear this: this doesn’t need to be how it is for you.

I don’t see how guys like Tristan Thompson don’t realize it’ll be much easier on their lifestyle if they get a vasectomy. Financially alone it would make a huge difference. Especially if they’ve already had 3 or 4 kids by 3 or 4 women.

I’ve had two exes do this. One dated a girl who was the spitting image of me all the way down to her shoes and socks. The other ex dated the polar opposite of me all the way to down to her political views.
