Black women. They were women.

Men’s inability to feel empathy for is a serious problem imo. The inability for so many men to see women as people, but as categories (wife, mother, sister, whore, slut, servant) and only consider them in terms of how that category effects them personally is really disturbing. It’s why the saying “imagine if it was…
What they really mean is: men abusing women is just nature and that they shouldn’t be held to account for it. Boys will be boys. But they can’t say that out loud without getting push back so they dog whistle.
You know, I was extraordinarily disappointed that Gorsuch was put on the Court when it damn well should have been Garland, and I don’t like him either, but at least I can stomach him. The mere thought of “Justice Brett Kavanaugh” makes me sick.
When politicians say “good man” what they really mean is “a white male, like us”. and as this recent election has shown us, that definition is going to be changing.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately how in my whole life, I’ve only known a few men who have really managed to demonstrate they believe women are people.
A Republican ends up on the wrong side on an issue. Aside from the decades of evidence, how could you have ever known?
I’m sure this is going to come across as hopelessly ageist but this is kind of what happens when a hero from an entirely different era is expected to speak to present-day viewpoints and understanding. Too much has changed for him to keep up.
And my mother wonders why I have such a hard time forgiving men.
Demi Moore made a huge impact on me when I was younger, and I always felt she was under-appreciated as an actress, and the impact she made in pop culture in the 90's with the choices she made.
Looking forward to the inevitable followup of a news story of “Brock Turner recognized on street and delivered a thorough ball kick..” annually.
Hello, White Man! Thank you for identifying yourself.
Good for her for coming forward. I think, even anonymously, her words were powerful and moving. But with today’s victim-blaming culture the way it is and the way how the system clearly has a penchant for protecting white, privileged males, her reasoning for revealing her identity now makes perfect sense. That,…
I’m a trans woman who has seen the attacks on my community ramp up over the past couple of years. When you say “maybe we could scrap identity politics”, I hear “maybe you should hush while we discuss what I consider *real* problems.”
Whenever I hear/read someone complain about identity politics, it’s code for “I don’t care about anything save for white identity politics.”
...a cohort of edgelords for whom politics has become a tribal bloodsport, yet paradoxically have nothing of substance at risk with any of these elections (save their egos).
This is totally par for the course for Bernie’s supporters, a cohort of edgelords for whom politics has become a tribal bloodsport, yet paradoxically have nothing of substance at risk with any of these elections (save their egos). They will gleefully shipwreck this country and all our futures in the name of…
The only issue I take with this is that people forget that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was progressive at the time. It replaced an outright ban on LGBT people in the military (which Republicans were trying to enshrine into federal law). Don’t get me wrong, by 2011 it needed to go, but in 1994 it was bleeding edge progress.…
Biden has applied for this job two times, and twice failed.
