I live in NYC, and I made $15 an hour while temping—it’s tight, but possible.

It’s incredible to me that Germany, which has opened its borders to refugees more than any other country (over 1 million in 2015 alone), is now being accused in comments here and elsewhere of fascist behavior simply because they a small rail company is introducing women-only compartments. Do people commenting here…

Suspicions of some mass cover-up were fanned by conservative outlets that referenced the well-worn racist narrative of dark-skinned men abusing white women.

She is glorious. I’m so glad we’re getting an album soon (hopefully). I read an interview and she said she was trying to do this thing called the Borders Project or something. I’m so thrilled. M.I.A is so fucking good and always relevant in a genuine non-pandering way.

I have never known a teen boy who was willing to touch a tampon.

I was a photographer at the Trump rally in KC this past weekend, and without hyperbole, I say that when I sat in that auditorium listening to Trump (inasmuch as one can listen to him...sometimes I’m not sure anyone really does so much as feeds off the vitriol he spews), and observing the audience, I felt distinctly as…

Woman here as well. I lived in the Netherlands - it’s legal, sure, it’s also filled with women who were coerced and trafficked and kidnapped into being prosititutes, mostly immigrants. And even for the local Dutch prostitutes who may just be putting themselves through school, it’s generally not something they list on…

I feel the same way, which is why I’m conflicted. Maybe the jezzies can help me out to reconcile my feelings about this. I know I’m going to get yelled at for this and I am open to hearing arguments for/against, but I don’t agree with prostitution, stripping, camgirls, etc. because it feeds into the idea that women…

Super unpopular opinion- I really don’t like legalizing prostitution because of the commodification of (mostly) female bodies. I think if it was a small scale with women having total control over being paid for what they decide on, it would be different. But, it’s not. For the most part, when prostitution is legal,…

The point is that often the women AREN’T consenting and I really doubt any man stops to find out or even care. And the wives of the johns aren’t consenting either — to either secret betrayal or sexually transmitted diseases that they’d never think to check for to treat.

Shocking! Women less likely to support something that would hurt mostly women!

I think so too. I do, however, remember a short excerpt from a letter Hae had written Adnan to the effect of “Let me go” that sent chills up and down my spine when I heard it. That was one of the moments during the podcast when I thought Adnan did it (I shouldn’t have to say this, but my thinking he did it is separate…

I was just talking about this the other day. What I find so tragic about Serial and Making a Murderer is that they lionize men who may or may not be guilty, while totally ignoring, if not erasing, their dead (female) victims, and refusing to acknowledge how these trials gaining wide public support may totally destroy…

This is one of my major problems with true crime entertainment. The victim’s story is rarely treated the same way as the suspects. They become a plot point as opposed to a person.

It’s amazing. I was accused of being an MRA for simply stating that economic issues ARE womens issues and that white feminists are dismissive of the issues us non white women are facing daily.

Great. Now in addition to having my feminism questioned and being called a Bernie Bro, I am going to be lumped in with people who are fighting against Clinton for all the wrong reasons.

Like the default being crying “sexist!” and doing every possible to avoid having to address actual issues instead of perceived attacks on one of the most privileged women in the world?

No way you’d have to pay that much to get someone to kill Shkreli.

Oh, and for everyone’s information: the female pro refugee mayor of Cologne, Henriette Reker ( who got elected after an anti refugee nutjob stabbed her ), has announced a plan to stop this from happening in the future. She suggested a code of conduct for women: to stay an arm’s length away from men and for women not…

Not all men! Just a thousand of them
