I personally am not afraid of my husband, my father, my brothers when they're sober, and several of my friends.

You're probably gonna get some assholes who say things like "maybe he's just a psycho, not all men are like that", and completely whitewash over the whole "society teaches men that they deserve access to women" aspect of this. Ignore them, because you're right and they're wrong.
I thought that sketch was brilliant. So uncomfortably accurate and so darkly funny.
Yesterday a co-worker caught me hiding from my boss and inhaling carrots and peanut butter in the kitchen, I told her I was "hiding and eating my feelings", she smiled and gave me a high five. As it should be.
Last night on her eponymous show, American hero Amy Schumer tackled the pesky habit women have of assigning moral…
FYI... as someone who engaged in gender studies classes in the mid-90s and saw this document in the wild in its early days... this is and has always been satire. It's a humorous look at some of the strange ideas people had about LGBT people, framed as a sort of safari guide. It was never meant to be taken at face…
I've been telling people this for years. Colleges don't give a flying fuck about the safety of their students. They care about attracting high schools kids to come to school there and give them money. Point blank period end of discussion.
Considering Chuy also does porn, I doubt he has much of an issue with being objectified.
At one point I watched her show almost every night. I think she's hilarious. Some comments she has made are problematic but overall she's not an awful person and is doing quite well in a field that doesn't have a lot of women.
This. I get so sick of being told that harassment should be considered flattering and complimentary and if we're not interested why not just say so politely? Because we don't know when it's going to escalate into physical violence. That's why.
Good on her for making something good out of something awful.
Am I really being asked to respect one of the most misogynistic cultures on Earth?
"completely formless, anonymous woman"
You're absolutely right. There are zero valid criticisms that can be made of Saudi Arabian culture, and art is never, ever a good place to talk about cultural differences.
That's what I was thinking throughout this whole piece. Women seem to be constantly having to prove they're allowed to like or talk about certain things that "belong" to men. Men can be beginners; women are always fakes. They have to be twice as knowledgeable to be taken half as seriously, and that applies to a lot of…
Here's an easy guide to cultural sensitivity:
Fuck cultural sensitivities. The only reason foot binding was so quickly and effectively banned in china is that Mao not only banned it, it was swiftly and vigorously enforced without any regard to cultural sensitivities. Harmful cultural practices have to be eradicated and the only way to do it is to remove tha taboo…
Cue the cultural relativists showing up swinging out of the woodwork. :)
She is so bitter that she didn't (or couldn't) land a Princeton man when she was in her prime. How do her sons feel about the shit ton of regret she has about marrying and having children with their apparent loser of a dad? Nice, lady...
stop YELLING at US, you VENEZUELAN douche BAG.
