I feel like any woman who’s sending unsolicited nude pictures of herself to Edward Snowden is probably not super concerned with making sure that random FBI agents do not also see those pictures...

She did follow up with a tweet saying that she has only ever experienced attraction to boys, so yeah, I think she’s read Tumblr and gotten the impression that everyone can be pansexual if they’re just open-minded enough. Course, then, lots of people are hating on her on Twitter; if she makes other 14 y/o’s feel…

You quoted another person at me and then asked if what I meant was something neither one of us said. Did you somehow get confused about which person you were quoting there?

Don’t ever put words in my mouth like that again.

Hey girl,

“How can I trust my attorney when he says in the newspaper that I’m incompetent?” he continued, while stating that evaluators would aim to medicate him and “make me a zombie.”

Eh, Jezebel does this thing where they actively champion feminism, going out of their way to berate women who don’t agree with them, and then later claim they “aren’t a feminist website”, even though they clearly want to be perceived as a feminist website, at least by more casual readers. Gawker does no such thing;…

They do have a single editorial vision on many feminist issues, though, however unofficial and unannounced. Take a look at, for example, Burt’s position on female celebs who don’t call themselves feminists: before she was a writer, she was pretty clear that she didn’t think that calling them out and mocking them was…

Yeah, I was really disappointed with how much her answer to so many conflicts was basically “I don’t mind having a ton of cognitive dissonance, and neither should you.” That’s awesome for her, but not at all a solution to any problem.

Anna, you’re really bringing it today. This was nice!

1. Yes, you could stand to comment less and let there be a bit more diversity in voices. We don’t need to hear your opinion on absolutely everything. This goes double for some hot-button issues that don’t have a consensus; just step back and let the women talk it out.

Yes, she was a regular commenter before she was a writer for Jezebel. Sadly (but understandably), her writing departure was also her commenting departure.

It’s tragic that BurtReynoldsIsMySpiritGuide (Rebecca Rose) is no longer around to have written this Dirt Bag. She’d explode.

Yeah, this was also my feeling towards Hunting Ground. It felt like they hadn’t really learned from some of the mistakes of the ‘90s.

As New York points out, though, the film does use one heavily-cited statistic that’s looking shakier all the time: the assertion that most campus rapes are committed by just a handful of serial rapists. The study that produced that assertion has lately been heavily criticized, and a subsequent study this summer found…

It makes me so, so sad that queer women have to clarify that we aren’t MRAs when we speak out about the abuse we’ve suffered. LGBTQ violence should be seen primarily as our valid cause, not some MRA boogieman.

Campaigns like this also assume that the issue is just that people aren’t aware of severe physical domestic violence. But they are aware, because we’ve been raising awareness for decades - there are plots about it in movies and tv shows, publicly funded campaigns, huge national discussions about specific incidents,…

Holland Taylor is now officially Holland Gaylor.

I’m actually pretty well-versed in feminist theories on sexuality, so unless you wanna start discussing specific people/articles/etc, I probably don’t need you to explain it to me like I’m 5. I’m not confused about the issue, I just disagree.

It is saying that people are bad for engaging in certain kinks, though. That was the original stance. That’s the stance now rather frequently, if you keep talking with people. And honestly, “you’re not a bad person for engaging in things we think are harmful, we just want you to be aware that you’re doing it” is such…
