“Later in his career, Seuss mended his ways and drew anti-racist cartoons, a couple of which we’ve also included in this gallery. He also expressed regret for his anti-Japanese views”

In terms of infection, it’s outdoors and less risky than going to eat at any of the reopened restaurants, or getting a haircut at a reopened salon. 

Not really.

But you’re also talking as if it’s a given that everyone wants to dismantle the system. I would argue you will probably find more people who want to improve it without completely taking it apart, than people who want to blow it all to pieces and start from scratch. 

I get what you’re saying but that’s called real life. Where else is the money supposed to come from?

Define “necessary”?

I think that one woman’s armor becomes another woman’s adornment… [There’s] a kind of Kardashian aesthetic—this hyper-feminine, plump limps, the big hair, the extensions, the silicone-injected curves of the body—that in some ways might be a reflection of a change in aesthetics that comes out of the kind of gay men who…

I don’t care about actors’ nationalities as long as they can pull off the accents and are right for the part. I just can’t see KStew in this role. 

The thing is, even if you abolished those schools, their endowments would be spent before you know it, and before the public system could be fixed. Those resources wouldn’t be sustainable because not only would tuition money stop coming in, and rich people would have no incentive to make donations to the school. Rich…

Oh, I completely agree. And it’s a great point about athletics. Sporting federations have to come up with some kind of overarching solution because so far they seem to be approaching it in a very piecemeal way.

Seriously.

LOL gotcha. Sorry, I’m an idiot sometimes. 

I’m not gonna give these two a fucking cookie but if there’s one thing the past month has taught me, it’s just how prevalent this type of thinking is and how fucking impossible it is for people to understand. And god knows I’ve tried. I’ve had a few really difficult discussions with people I thought were friends and…

What scarestories did I post?

I had no idea! Then put her in the category of bathroom conspiracists. But anyway, my point stands re: TERFs and TERF Lites in that I think there’s no hope for the former, some hope for latter. 

I hadn’t but I’ll look out for it now that you mention it. 

Sure, they’re close. But my point is, someone with JK Rowling’s views isn’t a total throwaway and with patience and education might end up seeing the light, or at least accepting that she’s the dinosaur and shutting up about it, whereas I’m not sure what someone who believes the bathroom rape conspiracies has to offer…

Sigh. I’m not arguing with you in defense of TERFs. I’m just of the belief that ‘knowing your enemies’ is essential - and that includes their motivations and the differences in the subgroups - if you want to find solutions on how to deal with them and how to address them, and maybe even possibly get individuals to…

Oh you don’t have to convince me they’re wrong. I’m just saying there are different flavours of TERFs and they do have different motivations, and that nuance gets lost a lot of the time but I do think it’s important because you can’t address all these different types of TERF in the same way and yes, some are worse…

I admit I haven’t delved deep into TERF-world but I do know women who are to the left politically and definitely identify as feminists, who don’t have an issue with trans identity, are in favour of full rights for trans people, don’t use any of those code words. They just think feminism is for cis women and trans…
