I just wonder how many of us would be able to clear the high bar during a conversation? He wasn’t writing an essay after all. And he did indicate that he is learning (by his change of that tweet about orgasms) and admits he may be doing some things wrong (He’s absolutely doing somethings wrong which becomes everything…

I'm wondering the same thing. I understand if at first, you might be skeptical of his sincerity, but he has been very consistent and has shown that he's trying to educate himself and use his privilege to raise awareness so ... fuck this guy? I don't get it.

Exactly.He has every right to feel frustrated or hurt when people slam him for something, he’s human and not a robot and obviously a good person. But he doesn’t use that shit as an excuse not to keep fighting. He takes it and moves on and tries to do better. Which is good.

I think...we all just need to take a little…

Good for him. It sucks because it’s like “Thanks cis white guy for drawing attention to inclusive feminism” but I love that he knows that and thinks its BS that he’s getting all the pats on the back for it when women from all walks of life have been saying this for awhile now and just getting crickets. So he’s dammed…

i’ll snuggle him while you cover his shift.

Now, as I’m reading through the comments, I’m seeing hate for him... why the hate for him? He is the literal definition of “woke bae” (as much as I hate that term) He is trying, yes, he makes mistakes as we all do, he admits and learns from and moves on ... so why the hate?

Shut up and show us your tits.

I feel the same exact way! Like, Matt we can take shifts. It is going to be okay.

Good for him. The best part of this is how he listens to people when they have legitimate criticism. That is a real ally.

I do absolutely get the “it’s easier for a man to be a feminist” thing. Every now and then a troll will presume I’m a woman and I’ll get a fraction of the gendered harassment that women on this site get, and it’s such a heartbreakingly personal reminder of how I, as an ally, can't truly understand the psychic toll of…

Nothing else to add except, stay woke, bae.

i’m honestly starting to get a little worried about him

How do you know when someone is a vegan?

Seconded. Fuck 2016 so far.

Well, it would be nice if one of the idols of my youth wasn't dying or dead. I hope she's having a baby, babies are fun.

Remind me again how the whole “legislating who can use which restroom when” thing jibes with the notion of “Small Government.”

God I hate Ted Cruz and his smug resting-derp face.

You are so fucking right.

We need more representation of people who are comfortable being estranged from their families. TV characters are always like, my parent was an abusive drunk but the worst thing they ever did was abandon me, I’m tortured because I secretly deeply want to reconnect! Obviously there are some people who feel that way, but…

Absolutely. The press should be more careful about how they help abusers communicate to those they victimize. What Workman said was in no way news, nor did it tell us anything about her daughter but to confirm that she was god damned strong to get out of her mother’s control.
