Okay, so can we get a promise from Jezebel not to tank her and Biden both with the “Kamala is a cop” stuff?! Lots riding on this ticket, folks.

When the LA Times published, “It’s ‘The Bachelor: Campaign Trail.’ Which of Biden’s veep candidates deserves the rose?,” they deservedly received a lot of backlash for publishing such a sexist piece. They even apologized. I’m disappointed to see this trope used again here.

I get the feeling that trumps attack strategy is designed for Bernie and when Biden got the nomination he didn’t change his strategy at all.

his unthreatening blandness is very attractive after four years of Trump. 

Of course none of this is sticking to Biden because after 40 years in public service, everyone knows who and what he is, whether or not you like it. And for most of the country, it seems, his unthreatening blandness is very attractive after four years of Trump.

Imagine a streaming service where the highest rated episodes have search variables like bitch, whore, slut, teen, barely legal, under age, choke, slap, hair pull, whip, gag, barf, handcuffed, crying, begging, step daddy, step daughter, cuckold, taboo, and incest; which are OK things when all parties are happily in…

When we have an industry based on the commodification and selling of human bodies, is it ever possible to disentangle objectification (racist and otherwise) from it?

I just want the gross racial stuff gone. I want to see hot asian people fuck without gross “me so horny” things. I wanna see hot black people fuck without gross “bull” references. I’d also like the misogyny gone. And the incest.

The fetish is for the a white male audience. Data shows us (in dating apps, etc.) that white women are more likely to be discriminatory against black men rather than be wracked by BBC fantasies.

All this would do is shut women out of awards even more. We have already seen women especially women of color get shut out of awards for both acting and non-acting categories.

Just because you don’t say the words, but still use gender as a factor Isn’t solving the problem. Just like not talking about race doesn’t stop race from being a factor. C’mon, think

That may fix the winners, but not the nominations themselves. I think it’s silly to dismiss the idea that dropping gendered categories won’t lead to more men and fewer women getting nominated if the two award categories are merged. That’s happens in pretty much every nongendered category already except for makeup and…

Who decides the gender? Are we now expecting the organization hosting the award to determine their gender? Or can say Chris Pratt suddenly decide he is non-binary for a better shot at winning an award when facing stiff male competition?

Rinse, repeat. This is 2016 all over again. Anyone who had Bernie Bro friends on Facebook back then (i.e. everyone posting here) knows that the Bros bit even harder on the Hillary conspiracy theories than the right wing did. For the obvious reason: the target of those lies wasn’t people on the right, who were already…

yeah, I agree with this read of the situation. Like you could get to the end of this Jezebel piece and feel reasonably sure she grew up dirt poor, even though there’s nothing to really indicate that. Like... she was working for Joe Biden very early on in her career. This isn’t a normal sign of being held back.

An awful lot of women grew up poor, didn’t have advantages, were treated poorly by employers, may have been in abusive relationships, and didn’t lie about being sexually assaulted by a US Senator.

I don’t understand why on earth anyone would try to set HER story up as one of oppression

I swear this dead horse will come back to life if I just beat it a couple more times. 

Harron is a man and it upsets him to be called a man because he wants to be called a woman. So, in his male-socialized mind, he imagines that real women are upset when they are called men when it is something we just laugh off. Men like Harron can’t grok that, well, because they see themselves as the center of the…

Why link to a Caleb Hull tweet? Dude is an alt-right shitposter.
