No one is dismissing your feelings or your reality but you are dismissing the feelings of the cis women who have spoken here. No one is saying that what you have gone through is not bad and that you derserve the right to be who you wish to be. You are reacting to women who are uncritically telling you how they feel…

Really? Not trying to be snarky, genuinely curious. Girls and women who choose traditionally “male” pursuits are treated significantly differently from the men in said fields/hobbies, and also experience ostracization from men and women alike for eschewing dominant notions of femininity.

Seriously. I get that this is old news but I don’t get the people blindly defending her. It just makes me sick.

McKesson’s run for Mayor of Baltimore, as powerful a symbolic message as it might look to be, falls right into a long tradition of strident activism being replaced by a movement of the few directly into the what’s often called the “professional-managerial class.” A handful of notable individuals emerge from the…

That’s nice. Truly, it is. I said Black girl and I said that for a purpose and a reason.

I’m happy for nate parker truly. And nat turner’s rebellion is not something that gets taught in schools so this is important. With that being said. Not surprising. White people love slave narratives. As a black woman I’m over it. Black Americans are more and did more than slavery. Call me back when there’s a fantasy…

To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if Jayden came out as non-binary or genderqueer. At the very least, he’s more than comfortable with toying with the gender binary and people who can’t think past it.

Uh do you get paid? That’s what “pro” means, it doesn’t mean you or someone else thinks you’re good at it. I certainly get paid to be a Chef and with all my experience I can tell you that in a professional setting, pasta would never be cooked that way by anyone respectable. So so many things wrong with your technique.…

Where was I reading about pay transparancy earlier today?

Pastafarianism is like the guy you know (or at least I know, I assume everybody knows one) who keeps repackaging and re-telling jokes that you first thought were funny back in high school, but have worn a little thin since. Like “Power corrupts, knowledge is power, study hard, be evil” - cute, but not a great as when…

I think Satanists are waaay funnier, tbh.

Sorry, but when people who wear religious head coverings have to daily fight discrimination, I don’t think this is funny. Odd how she didn’t fight to wear her glasses, but she fought for a colander just to be smug.

I honestly have nothing aginst doctors. I work ,and have worked, with tons of great physicians and surgeons and don’t feel disrespected very often. I reacted the way I did becasue honestly your first post came accross as highly rude— here is an article/call for nurses to share some of their stories and your first post…

Well I just see “defy” to be a very antagonistic term— you seem to be implying that there is a universal dynamic where doctors and nurses aren’t a team, that we are trying to work against one another. Maybe you were trying to be funny or sarcastic in your initial post, but you didn’t exactly start the discussion on a…

However, if you order a medication that is unsafe or questionable, it is a nurses job to question you on it. 100%. Do you know how many mistakes and errors are avoided by a nurse who refuses to do something? TONS! I’m sure You know that full well ! It really seems like you have something against nurses!

Ive been a nurse for over a decade, and i think your experience must be unique to your area of the country—I can’t imagine any of my collegues not respecting a female reisdent because of her gender. Not to mention, female med school graduates far outnumber male these days, so the gender climate of medicine is…

I really liked this piece — I think it does a good job of bringing out some nuances around trying to be a good, diligent partner. That said, I really need to point out some trends in the comments section that are representative of what happens in every comments section on the topic of sexual behavior.

Emmet Till’s mother did not ask for her son’s dead body to be used as a rhetorical tool on the internet against black people who are 1) already aware of what happened to her son and 2) dealing with their own daily racial traumas from living in a white supremacy.
