I’m in an interracial marriage (White as snow/Asian). It is something I’m aware of, but more from a cultural perspective. My wife is from China and only moved here in her early twenties. Though she would be the first to admit she’s about as culturally Western as it was possible to be in China there are still times…

Really? Not Native American women? Well done at winning the oppression Olympics, I guess.

No, the downside is that if this movie tanks is that it will be the last big budget lady ensemble for five years. At least.

If Fantastic 4 is the bar we’re setting then we are truly fucked.

I hate America because I am an undercover Soviet sp... I mean I’m just a concerned comrade, I mean citizen, yes, concerned citizen, that’s the ticket.

At a certain point, even if someone’s just pretending, if they’re pretending long enough and well enough... isn’t that the same thing?

You’re right, how could I have missed it, those unemployed coal miners in Kentucky are living like kings. And lay off the cussing, you’re the only person dragging the discourse down here. Weren’t you taught to behave civilly?

Tangentially related:

I honestly think there’s a surfeit of cynicism when it comes to people’s viewpoints of other demographics. There’s far more variation within groups than between them. I think most 30 year old men have a pretty fair grasp of women’s issues. Perhaps not to the an understanding of micro-aggressions, intersectionalism…

240 years, surely?

Good link

Fair enough. I’m not US-ian myself. I only know Appalachia from the photo-journals I’ve seen of some of the rural villages.

This is a great description of the process of disenfranchisement of the working class in the UK.

Well, it’s sure as shit your problem 9 months later if you don’t...

Oh, I never accused you of reverse sexism, love, I accused you of sexism, plain and simple. You claim empathy but you don’t display it at all. Which part of “Oh call a fucking WAAAAAAAAAAHmbulance, jerks.” was you acknowledging their problems but putting them in perspective of the problems faced by women or ethnic…

Happen to have a link?

I think this often applies to both sexes. Anecdotally on this site you hear stories of women picketing abortion clinics only to turn up there the following month as a client.

I don’t know, I had to help girlfriends get the morning after pill more than once in my early twenties. I was 26 when my wife went on maternity leave with our first child.

That’s because you haven’t the slightest empathy for people who are disadvantaged in many ways you are not because of their skin tone and genitalia. So, good for you on being both racist and sexist?

What makes you think 18-30 year old med don’t have to worry about women’s healthcare or race relations? It’s not just women that are harmed by restrictions to abortion access or lack of maternity leave, it seriously affects the whole family unit.
