Agree on Schumer and Dunham, but I guess I’ll be the one to stick up for Jezebel readers. They’ve gotten a *lot* better over the last few years. Around 2013 or so, the white feminism was off the charts, but they really seem to be making an effort since then. The Beckery / ****ery has notably diminished.

I think it does. Because when men advocate for the advancement of “our people”, it’s important to ask who exactly is included in “our people”. Because a lot of the time, it’s just (cishet) men.

I don’t know what to think about this. Part of me thinks it’s not her fault she’s white and conventionally attractive (I mean, I guess..), but she undeniably has gone out of her way to market herself as the “innocent girl next door” and also frequently cast herself as the “damsel in distress under attack from Black…

Jeez, settle down. It was a pretty common observation that’s been written about dozens of times.

There have been a few times in the last 70 years or so when whites have been “about to become a minority” and they’ve responded by changing the definition of whiteness. “How the Irish became white” is a great example of this. They did it basically by practicing anti-blackness and it’s no coincidence that our most…

Not surprisingly, the overlap between “Men’s rights activists” and white supremacists is enormous.

The “fuck your feelings” crew really are actually incredibly sensitive.

What’s that saying about how when you’re used to dominance, a move towards equality feels like oppression?

The genius of Kaepernick’s protest is that it shows what liars white people are about the “right way” to do these sorts of things. He’s not disrupting anything, he’s not breaking property, he’s not being too loud, he’s not blocking traffic, he’s literally not doing anything except quietly sitting down for a minute or…

I’m not underestimating it, I assure you. I think you might be underestimating the link between misogyny and other forms of hatred. For instance, see how many mass shooters have domestic violence incidents in their past.

It’s the literal definition of cowering to the right. In your own words, you’re saying that he shouldn’t be nominated because the right will campaign hard against him. Good. Being hated by the right (and / or the NRA) is generally a sign of a good candidate. I say “generally”, because I’m not really a Hillary fan.

Sorry, but this just seems like concern trolling.

“I don’t think the contention is that the hardcore Trumpistas would have voted for Sanders, but rather all the dopes whose unacknowledged misogyny convinced them to vote for Drumpf”

I know nothing about Cuomo, but if the NRA hates him....isn’t that a good thing?

To people like this, 18 year olds are always completely responsible for their actions, but middle aged men are not.

Bill Clinton was the most effective Republican President of my lifetime.

I don’t know if you’ve listened to Marissa Johnson (one of the BLM activists who interrupted him in Seattle), but she heavily disputes this “Bernie listened to us” narrative that sprung up afterwards.

You do know that Bernie voted for that same crime bill, don’t you?

“Or they rely on a trickle down type of reasoning where black women receive the benefit after others have gotten theirs—always a danger, i.e., affirmative action where the very people who benefit most subsequently devalue it.”

Racism isn’t rational.
