DeVos is as conservative on education as they come. Even charter supporters are against her.

Not holding my breath on that one.

That is an extremely optimistic view. From what I’ve seen, the administration picked people it knew it could push around (maybe with the exception of Mattis), and is now not letting them pick their own staff, ensuring they don’t surround themselves with people who have spines. They are there to rubber-stamp what 45…

Devos’ response to this has been... surprising.

Was she forced to make that decision? Can 45 override her decision if she’d said no?

She is a spineless worm who caved to Trump at the slightest pressure. She is no better than Ryan or McCain or all the other Republican ‘leaders’ that like to go on air talking big about how they disagree with 45 and then vote with what he wants when the rubber meets the road.

She did it anyway.

This may be generalizing, but people who choose his viewpoint are scum that should never be allowed to influence any policy. If this really is so important for you to decide against, you have zero concern for others’ lives and wellbeing.

So when is Scott Pruitt going to resign?

Is the first episode about Trump and his followers?

She didn’t lose me at Beyonce, she lost me at Gloria Steinem, and not trusting women that always have to have a companion. She lost me at her cries against capitalism, not doing self care in the “proper feminist way” while hawking a book. I don’t need a purity test to consider someone a “real feminist” but she seems…

You just live your life. Don’t listen to this horrid self-hating self-contradicting bitch. Feminism is about equality and choice. The very act of making choices about your marriage is feminist, and makes marriage a more feminist institution. No one’s forcing you into it. No one’s forcing you to do it a certain way.…

You know what? For twenty odd years my dad had been imagining walking his little girl down the aisle and flipping the veil back. I didn’t really want to wear a veil, but when my dad told me that he wanted to do that, fuck, I got a veil. Was it feminist? I dunno, probably not. Was it kind? Yes. Anyone who wants to give…

Someone who can flee to India, where I’m sure everyone who serves her or does anything for her is paid a fair wage, to avoid criticism of her books cannot understand worrying about health insurance and tax benefits. It’s much easier for someone with as much money as she has to tell you to die of treatable diseases or…

I like the part where she completely misconstrues what “safe spaces” are — adopting the reactionary right-wing definition of them, incidentally, as elitist bubbles undisturbed by challenging or rigorous thought — and then parrots the right-wing line for why they should be abolished.

yeah, I don’t, either. “you’re not a real feminist if you get married”? what? I mean, there sure are a fuckton of assumptions in there.

Yeah, a large part of my marriage is simply the fact that we would much rather hang out with each other at the exclusion of all you other miserable fucks, and we’d damn well like to take advantage of some health and tax benefits while doing it!

I dislike the “I’m a better feminist than you” conversation.

I was going to tell them how stupid they all were, but I just don’t have it in me anymore.

It must be nice to be the only person doing feminism right.
