thank you - at no point did she demean trans women; further, how (TF) was she supposed to respond to the enraged attacker who slid in hot, hostile and shouting about an issue Rose does not claim to have experience with or represent? OF COURSE I’M NOT SAYING that the additional issue (trans women in men’s prisons)…

And the trans woman who abuses children (just that specific one above), is she one of the worst people on the planet too?

This. My friend was in the audience (she works & that b&n and as able to snag a standing spot). She said the heckler was extremely rude and had been quipping the entire time rose was on stage. I don’t take Rose to be a TERF at all. I think she’s so tired and so frustrated and so hurt (all valid) and coild use both a…

Andi Dier was trolling an obviously emotionally fragile woman. I’m not sure why Mortal Dictata and others feel the need to reward her behavior by treating her like it was some brave speaking truth to power moment. It’s just manipulative, messy, and sad.

Yeah, a friend of mine has fibromyalgia and it’s no exaggeration to say it rules her life. She has a bachelor’s degree and fluency in a second language and planned to go into national politics, but her constant pain has ruled that out. She’s still very active in local politics and works for non-profits, but she’s said…

Hmm. I dunno that I think her reaction was transphobic. I think she was absolutely wrong on the stats she threw out in the second video, but she said again and again that trans women are women. The woman who was yelling at her was accusing her of doing nothing about violence against trans women and, in particular,…

HEY BATTERED WOMEN: IT’S YOUR FAULT

People discredit feminists and social movements because we think domestic abuse should be given the same amount of attention as a football game and even GASP in the same week? Those people must be dumbasses, then.

Women often stay in abusive relationships because they are, to some degree, trying to be ‘convenient’.

I have a strong feelings that you are troll.

So? Let’s be real. The idea that no newspaper can spare even a SINGLE REPORTER in the ENTIRE WEEK prior to the Super Bowl for battered women is a problem. Not the scheduling of the press conference. I understand that some people believe that Super Bowl is the most important thing to happen every single year, but as it…

Except that the Superbowl isn’t until Sunday and the report has already been released. Couldn’t the press have taken a few minutes out of their breathless bloviating about the Superbowl to take notice?

1. They do this the same time every single year 2. They did not reach out to Jezebel at all, as a matter of fact, we reached out to them, because we cared about the story and the sad perfect metaphor it embodied. 3. Get tf out of here with your “it’s the fault of the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women” bullshit!!!

All of their press corps? Literally all of it? The entire press of Minnesota doesn’t have a single journalist who can cover this event?

I am aware a lot of people care about the Superbowl in Minnesota, because I reside in Minnesota and all my senses are working. :)

Oh my god. How dare these bitches not check with the super bowl to see when they can hold their little press conference.

How silly of them not to rearrange a conference on pigs lethal behavior on a day other than their celebratory day. It’s a SILLY event and not a silly problem. You’re getting your adjectives mixed up, you little loser

C’mon, man. Newspapers might be failing left and right, but they’re not operating with a skeleton staff. Take a look online and read some of the Super Bowl-related stories (“Hey, here’s a Patriots fan and an Eagles fan living in Minneapolis who are married! Wonder whats going on in THEIR house???!!?”) and you’ll soon…

People who are awesome and enjoy things that are good, obviously.

that’s your takeaway from this article?
