Yeah, that’s some bullshit wording. Her comparison was to the Jim Crow state, which is apt and if the shoe fits....https://www.mercurynews.com/2012/10/05/angela-davis-dismissal-of-palestinians-is-reminiscent-of-jim-crow-days/

What the nation state of Israel is doing to the indigenous Palestinians there is discriminatory and makes Israel an apartheid state. Not even all Israelis agree with the collective punishment of the Palestinians and certainly not all Jews.

Please. Tell me, a woman, more about how I, as a female gamer, don’t actually experience sexism in gaming.

When played in the format that “esports” are, video games fit pretty much all the criteria for a sport. It is not an athletic sport, but it is a sport. Personally I think “esport” is a really terrible term, but it gets the general idea across pretty well. The whole e-*something* terminology just sounds so ‘00s. 

Governments around the world give athlete visas for esports players. Chess is recognized as a sport by the Olympics.

So his social experiment was to effectively give all the shithead “Hardcore Gamer” wankers, who spent the whole time peddling “women can’t be that good” or transphobic shit, an example to use against any woman who manages to beat the system and to make anyone who instinctively saw this as yet another attack on…

Thanks to this asshole he’s going to make it even HARDER for women to break into e-sports as they’re going to be instantly assumed to be a guy or a fake of some kind. So yay, the harassment is going to get WORSE.

I’ve been dismissing replies left and right for being blatantly sexist, but this one just confuses me. You’re not being sexist (which puts you WELL above all my other replies!) but you’re accusing me of sexism. On the grounds that I defended Punisher. Which I didn’t do, he fuckin’ sucks for this stunt that was borne…

Thank you for all you and your colleagues do.

And for a movie that’s just a little bit better than The Happening.

Now listen up, you troglodytes. You’re going to come at me about how this totally erases the OBVIOUS RAMPANT SEXISM. As if the sexism that Ellie faced was un-sexism because it was a guy all along. And as if it wasn’t still wholly indicative of the experience that women face trying to enter esports.

“People involved aside, this ‘stunt’ will have lasting ramifications for ANY woman/[non-binary] person trying to get into Contenders. They will ALL now be subject to ‘lol are you real??’ harassment.”

I wish I had more than one star for this. Thank you.

It wasn’t the prefects’ bathroom that housed the entrance to the chamber of secrets. The prefects’ bathroom was a spa paradise. The Chamber bathroom was a random girls’ bathroom with perpetual plumbing problems (mostly thanks to Myrtle).

Donations are a great way to help patients, but don’t do much for providers (besides let them treat patients with a tiny bit less stress on the patient’s part, if they needed financial help getting birth control or other testing). Also, PP regularly touts “only 3% of what we do is abortion!” so donating to them is…

So, if they didn’t set up pipes at Hogwarts until the 18th century, is that the approximate time the basilisk was able to move about the castle via the pipes as detailed in the Chamber of Secrets, which is only accessible via the prefect’s bathroom? I thought it had been there for a long time, and apparently nobody…

I’m legally required to hand out pamphlets filled with falsehoods about how the mifepristone pill, which ends a pregnancy, can be “reversed.”

This can’t be overstated. Trump isn’t merely lying; he’s working to debase, and ultimately destroy, the idea of “truth” in the American mind. We’ve long been on the dark road of “my opinion is just as valid as your facts” in this country, but Trump has added turbos to the process.

Heads up – both Sherrilyn Ifill and Greg Sargent have made the point that we need to pay attention not only to HOW MUCH he lies, but also WHY he lies that much (and “because he’s a congential liar” is not the only answer).

These neo Nazis are a bunch of the thinnest skinned whiny ass bitches I have ever seen. They’ll advocate for genocide, but at the slightest criticism, they go screaming to any authority they can find for protection.
