I've just come up with a groundbreaking, earth-shattering new discovery that might help in situations like this. It's kind of radical, but bear with me. I think I'm onto something.

My parents were Finnish and they did a lot of things that weren't normal because well they actually weren't normal! By any stretch of the imagination. These people going to the wine-tasting weren't Sami reindeer herders, you know? Luckily we have laws here.

Even prior to birth, they don't give a fuck. God forbid we provide women with appropriate health care when they're pregnant.

That precise thing happened to a friend of mine. She had to rely on a national abortion agency to help her get the funds to fly to New York to have the procedure done. Never mind that her fetus had no brain and was at high risk of dying in-utero, which would have endangered her life. She would have taken the risk of…

Okay, hear me out. I seriously doubt that many Republicans are genuinely evil, but: their entire platform supports the large-scale presence of (1) unwanted babies and (2) poor families, (3) without physical or mental health care, (4) who disdain education because it's elitist, so that they have the power to make a lot…

Seriously. I'd take the GOP way more seriously about abortion if they backed up their so-called 'pro-life' stance with resources that helped women/children/families throughout their lives.

I know all you guys already know this, but it bears repeating. the vast majority of terminations that take place after 20 weeks are due to severe medical issues. Most women aren't just fucking around for 5 months making up their minds. The anatomy scan ultrasound that can determine whether the fetus is healthy, or…

It's a very trendy and prevalent technique in fashion and editorial photography now to "blow out" subjects with light. This technique is employed mostly on White subjects since the vast majority of the models in and on the cover of major magazines are White.

Thank you for this refreshing balance and rationality!

and the ubiquitous endless blowjobs. I mean seriously it amazes me how they go on.

And something like porn can't definitively be termed "empowering" just because of how the individual making one specific piece of pornography feels about it, because what that one person does is part of a system that other individuals are part of (the porn industry in general) which in turn is part of a system that…

This exactly. I feel like there's a lot of pressure in some parts of the feminist community to just unequivocally accept all porn as good and empowering. And the thing is, a lot of mainstream stuff is super sexist and probably contributes to the patriarchy. It doesn't have to be that way, but a lot of it is.

I like me some porn, but that doesn't mean that what Jones is saying about mainstream porn is in any way inaccurate.

lbr though, porn isn't just "fulfilling a male fantasy", it creates and shapes and informs male fantasies, esp. for younger men who discovered porn before they ever saw a woman naked IRL. That's what I find more disturbing, it's one thing to have a fantasy that already existed fulfilled but I think porn can be…

Actually, guns do kill people. True.

Agreed. Her repeated need to say stupid shit makes me so damn sad. It takes a lot for a beloved childhood movie to be ruined, but she might just have managed it.

She's talking about rape like it's some kind of party foul, like it's throwing up on your shoes or losing your phone.

Are women strong enough to take care of themselves, or are they not strong enough to take care of themselves?

She has ruined Clueless for me. I never imagined that could happen.

I just read a comment saying that she did work with Mandela's HIV/AIDS charity so she can't be racist or have fucked up.
