I think if he actually straight up used the N-word on live TV at a child, we could probably get that percentage of white people up to like...7 in 10.

I love your handle and I appreciate this comment - it’s so true. I think it’s also probably worth acknowledging that I come at this from the perspective of a basically white woman, so I can absolutely understand how a POC would like to invite these women to go fuck themselves.

This is where I struggle. I want for Conservative women to realize that the Republican party does. not. like. them. and it will never treat them better. And I want to leave an opening for them to see another way of life women are equal, but I’m not going to welcome them while they try to weasel in their backwards and…

I have a rainbow baseball bat for the same reason. I’ve played baseball long enough that I can do some damage with my swing. Plus it’s so festive!

Originally I agreed with your point, but it does seem different this time around, partially because these kids are old enough to speak on their own behalf. They’re old enough to a) become voters soon, if not now and b) to appeal to the undecided. The NRA diehards are lost, no doubt, but these kids are forcing those…

I’m more of the opinion that we need to make Amazon pay for the privilege of overloading this city’s infrastructure. We simply cannot put enough busses on the road to accommodate that. And even if we could, it’s a huge tax burden on this city. Amazon wants those workers and the advantages that come with being in…

If it makes you feel any better, the main reason that we’ve made so much progress is because outside of the Seattle metro area, Washington is not incredibly populous so Seattle gets to drag everyone along with us. If you get very far outside of the part of I-5 that runs from Everett to Olympia, our state starts to…

Oh man I voted for that and about vomited when I saw the cost of my tabs this year. I still believe heavily in public transportation, but boy that tax made it much harder to convince people when living without a car is pretty difficult, outside of a few neighborhoods.

I’m so happy that our city does nice things but OH GOD PLEASE STOP WITH THE HOUSING PRICES.

I’d ask you not to base your opinion of the whole Greek system on that one negative experience during one informal rush of one sorority at one university.

You are correct, Panhel is the sorority one. I meant IFC.

To be quite frank, if I were in a hiring position and I came across someone’s resume with a Panehellenic fraternity or sorority on it, that would make me less likely to hire them. How many of these orgs, both sororal and fraternal, do we have to do see racist and sexist bullshit before we start realizing that those…

I don’t feel torn about the victims of Steven Wynn or Harvey Weinstein or even, frankly, for most of Ailes’ other victims because they weren’t on television every day promoting a culture where this is acceptable. Even if Gretchen Carlson never went on television and said “sexually assault women to your heart’s…

Ok fine. I will grant you that at absolute best he is being deliberately misleading about his education.

I should have been clear - I don’t think Bee was lionizing her, but I do think there is some lionization of her in other spaces and it feels a little icky. That’s what I was reacting to.

HE DIDN’T EVEN REALLY ATTEND WHARTON. He went to Penn undergrad and took classes THROUGH the Wharton School. *screams into the void forever and drops dead*

Same. I’m always here for anything Octavia Spencer. Octavia Spencer in more things, please.

Its moment has definitely passed. Not just because of the age of the women, but because the ethos of ravenous conspicuous consumption really doesn’t fit in anymore. SATC was of a time and a place and it should stay there.

I am so torn when it comes to Gretchen Carlson. She worked, happily, for YEARS for a news network that perpetuated exactly the facets of our culture that breed this kind of bullshit. She participated in creating that environment, so to get mad about it strikes me as a little self-absorbed.

Realistically, she was so tied to Weinstein that celebrities can’t be seen wearing her brand right now and since “celebrities wear it to awards ceremonies” was pretty much her brand’s entire raison d’etre, I think she’s going to struggle for awhile. If she makes it, I suspect it’ll be because people think she is just…
