Call me an optimist, but I don’t think it’s anything as sinister as all that. I think he’s just your garden variety misogynist troll who harasses feminists for the lulz.

So a misogynist faked being a different misogynist? It’s like misogynist Inception in here.

The whole “I’m empowered because I’m willingly being objectified” thing irritates the heck out of me too. You might enjoy reading Ariel Levy’s Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture. It was published in 2005, but it’s still very relevant to today’s culture and it speaks to many of the issues…

Haha. Thanks! :) And that’s fair. At this point, I think all liberals (and probably a lot of moderates) have their own ranked list of which GOP candidate they fear the most. I do at least agree with you on fearing Cruz more than Trump. Trump doesn’t realize he can’t do most of the things he’s talking about and doesn’t…

You’re right - anyone can call themselves a feminist, but if they actively are fighting against women’s rights and mistreating women it doesn’t mean they are actually feminist. We can’t control who calls themselves a feminist because there are no membership rules, no club dues, no distinct single feminist movement -…

There is no one size fits all feminism. There’s no perfect feminist or ideal feminist. There are just feminists. There are aspects of what some people consider “feminism” that I bristle at too, but I’ve learned that I shouldn’t distance myself from feminism because of a few bad apples or a few people with ideas that…

Thanks to zoos and zoo breeding programs, Przewalski’s horse went from “extinct in the wild” to “critically endangered.” If there hadn’t been any of these horses in zoos and if they hadn’t been strategically bred to introduce as much genetic diversity as was possible, they wouldn’t have been reintroduced into the wild…

It’s a way to encourage the self-centered troglodytes to get on board because there are sadly still many of them in positions of power. Feminism is still all about women achieving equitable treatment, but there are some dudes who are only on board with equality of women if they know what’s in it for them. And yeah,…

Ugh. Has she not looked around? People can take and pass college classes and come out of them not knowing a damn thing. You don’t instantly learn or give a damn about something just because you passed a class on the subject. I’d like to think this rich asshole will learn his lesson, but inevitably, this asshole born…

I just said Kasich is the least shitty of the 3. That’s not a very high bar, and it doesn’t mean that I’m okay with him politically. His policies, particularly concerning women, are appalling. I know he’s dangerous. I just think he’s less dangerous than Trump (dangerous primarily because he will cause irreparable…

Kasich sucks, but he still sucks less than Trump or Cruz. Kasich is the least shitty GOP candidate that’s still running, so I’m actually okay with him staying in the race to fuck with Cruz and Trump. Or maybe, since I lean liberal, I just need to embrace the collapse of the Republican party and hope Trump is the…

Guaranteed he’s still saying something appalling on average about once an hour. He’s just not always being recorded (though the way the media covers him, it sometimes feels that way), and even short-fingered sentient cheese puffs have to sleep every now and then.

Let’s have a little lesson, shall we:

If that picture is the actual woman in question, I think her hair looks great! That’s some serious bullshit racism if they can’t handle a woman with well-done braids. She looks very “put together” and “professional” (though I hate to use the word because I know “professional” is a loaded term since it often means…

I’m not sure what’s more offensive - the racist connotations of the bit or the fact that the bit is so poorly written as to be aggressively unfunny. That joke would have been trite and mildly offensive in the 60s. Who’s writing this stuff? Korean war vets who think not using the n-word means they’re “progressive”?

All. The. Feels.

I think you and the OP are both right. He is awful at giving substantive compliments to both men and women. Everything with him is completely black and white, there are no shades of grey, so nothing has “qualities” other than good/bad, winner/loser, great/pathetic, and with women beautiful (fuckable)/ugly…

Because the most important thing you want for your daughter in life is to have big boobs.

As someone who carries her weight in her stomach, that makes me call bullshit even more on the “I wear a size 6 or 8.” I’m 5'5.5", and I vary between about 135-140 and I wear a size 8. I carry my weight in my stomach, and even at 125 lbs, with the way I am built (weight in the stomach, no tiny waist), I couldn’t fit…
