It’s not. But that’s the hypocrisy. Women are sexual objects pretty much up for grabs as soon as men say so. But boys? Not the same. 

I used to work with Uber’s current head of HR. She is an atrocious human being. In addition to the fact that many women in STEM have similar stories, I have ZERO doubts that their HR VP is fully capable of letting this happen on her watch, even knowing about it and not caring. She’s the perfect HR VP for a company…

I really feel like it’d be inappropriate to consider a SCOTUS nominee in the middle of the campaign like this. We should really wait until the election and let the voice of the American people be heard.

Protests are not meant to be orderly, cordoned-off events. Yes, sometimes traffic gets blocked. Sometimes business gets disrupted. Don’t do that kind of thing to protest your favorite band breaking up, but protesting Cheetolini? Hell yes! MLK, modernity’s favorite protester now viewed with rose-colored glasses,…

Stop calling her a Jackie Kennedy wanna- be. She’s clearly a Carla Bruni knock-off.

“fervent supporter of organizations like PETA”

I’m beginning to think that some of Trump’s nominees might not be good people.

“This is what we conservative women live with all the time, this idea that we somehow aren’t really women and we just reflect internalized misogyny [...] I don’t think they represent women. I think they are a wholly owned subsidiary of the abortion movement.”

Autonomy over one’s own body is a right.

That article was such a piece of garbage, and I completely agree that it was the classic lazy journalism approach of finding someone, somewhere with a different point of view and manufacturing a conflict within a movement.

Can you imagine if the airlines actually did the work to crack down on the harassers themselves? It would take maybe a few months of very concentrated vigilance and enforcement by airline staff.

There is some flawed idea that if we just tried to understand, we would magically agree and be on the same side. I pride myself in honestly trying to understand the other side. I work with republicans, I am friends with republicans. I engage with them and try to learn more. Some of it I agree with, some of it I don’t.…

I understand that sexism, racism, xenophobia, incompetence, and corruption were not deal breakers for them, whether or not they personally carry those qualities themselves.

There are two types of people who voted for Trump: people who are racist, and people who do not care about racism (i.e., those who say they voted for him for other reasons discounting that), and honestly, the latter is just as disgusting as the former. There is no justification.

I already know. They are mad because they’re working oh so hard and aren’t getting much of anything in this economy. In other words, they’re being treated the way PoC have always been treated and they don’t like it; but they expect u s to put up with it with a smile.

It’s easier to call them what they are, racists. If you voted for Trump, you’re a gormless, cousin-fucking racist shit gibbon. Own it, because the rest of us aren’t going to forget.

A great way is just to ask and actively listen with empathy. A lot of men I have encountered (regarding women’s issues) do not ask questions about things they don’t know, and when they do ask, they don’t listen to the answers.

If you have trouble figuring out what level of your participation is welcome when the FAQ specifically says:

a) Starting a comment with “putting on flame-retardant clothing” is never a good way to begin. It tells us that you’re pre-emptively putting yourself in a place of victimhood (as a straight white cis man) against the mean and nasty women/POCs/trans folk.
