Exactly. Let’s not forget Hugo Schwyzer was a big male feminist icon until it came out that he tried to murder his girlfriend, and had sexual affairs with his much younger students.

Jews don’t mind it when other Jews call them “Jew.” They do mind it when an anti-semite calls them “Jew.” The way that this poster used “redneck” was clearly in a negative, pejorative context, and was distinctly not one redneck calling another redneck a “redneck” as a source of pride.

i mean, the guns they had are illegal in CA in the first place

My grandfather was a competitive shooter, and he had the...machine thing to make his own loads. And yeah, it was suuuuper fiddly and time-consuming (but I guess no more so than constructing your own fucking BOMBS, so...?).

Why do you think it’s OK to use language like “redneck”? I bet you have an aneurism about “dog whistling” if anyone calls a black person a “thug.”

are you kidding me? religious harassment led them to seek solace in ISIS propaganda? don’t make excuses for this sick tragedy.

DV and abuse to convince her to join him?

Or it was the other way around. Just because she was a woman doesn’t mean she couldn’t have been the one leading the charge. An argument might have precipitated them doing it at the holiday party but from all the supplies they had obviously been planning for a while and could have even been planning for a different…

Ehh... the problem I have with this is the pipe bombs. It certanly seems like they were stocking up for something. Survivalist gun nuts might stock guns and ammo out the wazooo, maybe even the body armor... but pipe bombs?

I would guess she radicalized him.

I disagree. If he did it alone i would say workplace violence. But the wife being involved makes me think its something more. Why assume the wife is a victim for all we know she could be the brains behind this.

Um, there have only been TWO presidents in the 21st century.

I disagree with Senator Graham on pretty much all the issues, but out of all the people running for the Republican nomination, he’s always struck me as the most competent, serious, and reasonable candidate (arguably because he’s never been in any of the main-stage debates). Which says a lot about the rest of them.

Interesting, according to Amanda Hess, it was tumbler teen girls who first pushed Deen into the spotlight. Now, I’ve long been a follower of some tumbler teen girls (and I’m waaay older than them) b/c a lot of them have a good eye for pretty porn - and I love pretty porn - it’s all gifs and stills. I love sexy gifs,…

I remember thinking, “Yeah, he’s hot and got a big dick but, who in porn doesn’t?” And I’d seen plenty of male porn stars with blogs who were funny and observant. (all in the gay porn world, admittedly, so maybe Deen was such an outlier that he was unusual in the het world.)

My initial reaction to this quote was, of course, disgust. But ... I’m strangely starting to wonder if it’s fine.

It wasn’t widely known unless you stumbled across something that he was... problematic. He said a lot of things a lot of people wanted to hear in public and kept his private life under tight control. He also used his fame and the fact that women who perform sex work of any kind are perceived as “asking for it” by…

I was confused by his popularity because it seemed like he was getting a medal for seeming like a normal guy. Which says a lot about what we, as a society, think about the sex industry. All I could think was “there’s no way this guy is the only nice guy in all of the porn world.” And now, I see that he’s not even a…

That was the biggest thing with him and his feminist supporters, IMO. Not being able to tell when you’re being pandered too along with being blinded by any cute guy you come across.

The ladies at BuzzFeed basically turned him into their “mascot”. They acted like they had been the nerdy girls in HS who wound up working with him on a summer job.
