Alas, right wingers don’t have a monopoly on ignorance and intolerance. The left has plenty to go around as well. 

It does exist. Just because not everyone who gets ‘cancelled’ vanishes forever doesn’t mean there isn’t a very narrow-minded and puritanical bent to a lot of progressives. And I’m pretty far to the left on a lot of things but freedom of expression (in the broad sense) is one area where I am often in disagreement with…

This.

Never said that. I was just pointing out an error in Fatty III’s comment. 

I agree they should just change the name to something else but they are not asking the original Lady A to change her performance moniker. Per the article: “According to Pitchfork, the band, comprised of all white members, has asked a Nashville court to grant its right to the trademark of the name, saying its not…

This.

To be honest, except for Black women in the US, I don’t trust any voters, anywhere. Let’s face it, most people are ill-informed and ignorant and vote for selfish or frivolous reasons (I want to have a beer with this person), or are single-issue voters (will vote for anyone who says they’re against ‘killing baybees’),…

I watched it having never watched the Broadway production. I should also start by saying that I generally do not like musicals, with a handful of exceptions (Little Shop of Horrors, Hair, Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Book of Mormon, and that’s basically it). I like these musicals not only because the stories are…

LOL it’s the lighting. But yeah it does look like she overdid one brow with a sharpie and left the other one natural. 

Yeah it’s frankly bizarre at this point

I read and enjoyed all the books (and some of the movies) and I have no trouble separating the books from Rowling’s views. Lots of awful people have been creative geniuses, humanity is complicated that way and I don’t personally struggle with that at all but obviously that’s not the case for a lot of people. I’m not…

#BlackFemaleAnonymous further expressed concern that we had not reached out to them directly for comment during our coverage. Our choice to let the coalition’s statements stand for themselves was consistent with our treatment of Essence, and additionally out of respect for the fact that the group had already expressed…

This is actually hilarious and probably the best video Jezebel has ever produced. And a lot of that is your delivery.

I’m no expert on BDSM beyond what friends have told me and what I’ve read on the internet but your logic seems a little... hamfisted to say the least. You’re basically saying that because there is abuse in BDSM, all BDSM is bad. That’s like saying that because some marriages are abusive, all marriages are bad?

But even the ‘hardcore’ lightening creams have non-problematic uses. Obviously there’s a huge issue with these creams being used to lighten complexion overall which has all kinds of colourist and problematic implications, and brands are basically marketing them for that use even if they’re changing the name and trying…

LOL except climate change deniers are denying irrefutable scientific evidence. Politics is not an exact science and ‘evidence’ is relative since there is no way to prove for a fact that had Democratic voters in Kentucky chosen to elect Booker in the primary, he would in fact have won against McConnell. My opinions are…

This is Kentucky. One of my best friends grew up there and her and her family’s take is that it’s an extremely conservative state, politically and socially. Even the Liberals there are small c conservative and no one can get elected there with just the city vote. That parallels my thinking about most of middle…

If 2016 taught us anything, it’s that you can’t rely solely on polls. Hillary was supposed to be a shoo-in, remember? They can be useful but they’re becoming increasingly unreliable as predictors of actual election results.

It’s weird. The headline reads as if they’re (rightfully) saying that the focus on these shitty bosses shouldn’t be that they’re women, but that they’re assholes. But then they also make a point of writing up shitloads of pieces on shitty women bosses, which seems to contradict their argument that they’re assholes…

There’s that. But there’s also the fact that they came of age in a time where there’s no job stability, shitty salaries, etc., and a culture of idolising Sillicon Valley sociopaths (i.e. every tech billionaire out there), so they probably think this is normal.
