Of course we still have it good. That doesn’t mean it’s okay to be misogynistic toward white women. Just like it’s not acceptable, for example, to be racist toward black men because they have male privilege. And remember that “white women” includes women who are queer and trans, who are poor, who are immigrants, who…

No. I like Gawker. Anyway, it was nice knowing all of you!

When I mention Tantrump‘s name my 7 yr-old will give me the double thumbs-down sign and go “Booooooooooo!”.

None of that will make it legal, as you suggest. The conference was discussing how to classify it as a mental illness, which is the opposite of normalizing it. Two attendees (including one admitted pedophile who isn’t even an academic) took the extreme outlier view that it’s a normal urge.

Don’t be silly.

Ah yes, let’s make snarky comments about a super talented young musician for getting inspired by something we might not understand.

Her sweet little nervous covert side-eye darts to read his face!

I mean she said she had played traditional folk music and had a spiritual experience because she finally understood the dance music they had in France which has now influenced her current music. I don’t see what is so bad about that story.

In which we all are the black guy who takes one look at what’s going on, and then nopes the fuck out of there.

I think it’s hilarious that you are sad for an 84 year old white man, because his legacy is being tarnished, when the whole point is that women don’t get a legacy at all, and are essentially dead to the world even while they are alive.

I think I’m doing ok! But thanks!

I’m almost positive that the dance partners on this show are contractually obligated to have sex with each other.

No worries. For whatever it’s worth, I don’t have an especially intense dislike of Bernie Sanders or anything- I think his heart is generally in the right place, and I was genuinely shocked when I read that article. But I think he’s shown time and again that women and minorities (and the issues that primarily affect…

Spot on. I‘ve been using this argument since I saw a breakdown of everyone’s top staff. For fuck’s sake, even Trump has 3 women in the top ten.

Didn’t you know? Bernie is, like, all cool and shit. So cool he couldn’t even bother to find one woman to hire to one of the top ten most highly-paid positions in his campaign. Worse than Marco Rubio, even. But we’re a feminist site, so of course we’ll just keep shitting all over Clinton for... well, reasons.

Agreed!

Weird. I actually thought this bit was awesome. What makes it cringeworthy is how true it is.

SAY YES TO THE DRESS TRUTHER

The Ted Cruz part didn’t happen but the “I finally got tickets to Hamilton but I have to hold my cat the whole time” nightmare did happen. And in the dream the audience got to play on stage A LOT. And I kept having to say, you go on ahead. I have this cat sitting on my lap. I woke up VERY upset.

I absolutely will not. How dare you.
