"smokes a lot of weed and is known for being difficult by those in the industry."

I think a lot of people are upset because HOW DARE we consider a Colbert joke in any light other than OMGLOL? There's also the wrongheaded notion that satire is always a fullproof way to get away with anything.

I think we can - maybe not from Colbert but it's beyond him or his show now (also, was that at a different point in the show?). I think it can and should be part of the conversation we're having outside of Colbert. He can't control his fans any more than What-his-face-.0 could have had he spoken out to tell people to

So, but when are we going to talk about the harassment Suey Park has faced after this? Perhaps the hashtag stuff was knee-jerk (although the joke lands... a little flat for me. I get what he's saying I just don't find it to be that funny or subversive, I guess), but do we only care about rape and death threats as a

Honestly, I'm disgusting by Jezebel (and many of its commenters) in how they've reacted to this situation. A woman raises her voice against an experience of racism, and everyone comes out the woodwork to:

So... while the hashtag was a bit over-the-top (and clearly designed to stir the pot), she has a legitimate point. Asians do get a lot of "good-natured" bullshit lobbed at them, and even when it's from someone like Colbert, they often get the "you're okay to make fun of because you're not oppressed!" treatment in

I love Stephen Colbert so much right now. For every person who was asking 'Well what do you expect from him? It wasn't even him who tweeted!' THIS is what I expect from him. I expect him to explain, make jokes, and tell his fans to stop making threats of violence and rape and other bullshit. I expect him to be in

Yes, because one would have to be a first grader to still believe the "she was just a tired woman who wanted to sit" narrative of how the bus boycott began. Sure, just ignore Rosa Parks' history as an active grassroots organizer, and strategic efforts by the African American community in Montgomery to organize a

Now if only it could dispense cheese fries for when I have been drinking and it's 4 am and no one in my neighborhood is serving food anymore!*

I think what they enjoy about sending dick pics is the idea that the women they're sending them to don't want to see them, so they're enjoying some non-consensual flashing.

See, that's the difference. I love seeing a dick attached to an attractive man in the context of a sexy story. But random dick pics are random. I'm not getting turned on by "DECONTEXTUALIZED SURPRISE DONG IN YOUR INBOX, BOOM!" (no shame to those who are)

WE WANT TO SEE DICKS. No, no, not that dick pic you sent me on your iPhone that looked blurry and possibly misshapen.

I get into the most pointless arguments with dudes about wanting to see male genitalia in media. Yes I do want to see it. Yes many women do. No, do not tell me I'm wrong about this, because in fact you are wrong. No, I don't care if you think penis != bewbs and merkin-masked pudenda. I'm not here to be fair and make

No idea how, but this actually just popped up as an alert on all my devices.

Everyone should stop beating around the bush and just get to "Tittyfucking for Breast Cancer Awareness" already. Because that's where we're heading.

They'll be bumping into each other at Starbucks, clutching 4'x4' whiteboards with preachy, over dramatic slogans on them. Any day now. But first American Apparel's gotta come out with some whiteboards that have "Navajo designs" on the back.

Honestly, I'm kind of shocked she even wanted to call herself a feminist. This just screams, "I'm an independent woman, but not a feminazi". "I'm a feminist, but not one of those scary angry man-hating radical feminists who won't put up with more mild sexism" isn't really much better.

I'm sorry, but this inane as all hell.

Here's a feminist nuance for ya - Some of us feminists have relationships with people of the same gender.
