No shit. I gave up wondering why I will never be ungrayed, and seeing these assholes makes me care less about it. I’m going to continue responding to whomever I choose, and damn the torpedoes!

Sorry...yes, indeed, I was venting. My comment was really directed again the implicit slam against second-wave feminists in the original post, which seems de rigeur these days. I absolutely agree with you.

Ya’ll, let’s not engage the trolls. Let them continue screaming into the void, because they don’t give a fucking shit about women or the already born children suffering through this natural disaster. They don’t believe in climate change, or science, or even basic fucking human decency, so let’s not dignify their…

Errr... not sure who this was aimed at. I simply said I don’t agree with every idea that came out of 2nd wave feminism. I also lauded them for shaking things up and getting people to actually talk publicly about things that were behind closed doors. We do have some baggage from the 2nd wave that we are working…

God, I am just so FUCKING TIRED of all the second-wave feminist bashing. No one ever bashes throwback white male 60s radicals with antiquated, simplistic, and pseudo-colorblind views of gender, race, and economics with the same viciousness...instead, they turn them into cult political figures. Second-wave feminists…

You’re a tiresome little troll, aren’t you?

Or maybe it will reinforce their belief that they’re making the right decision, since circumstances are now even worse for them (and let’s be honest- women whose lives are in a good place to facilitate having and raising a kid aren’t getting abortions, despite what the bald-faced liars in the forced birth movement…

God knows you’re not standing up for them with this weak hand wringing and pearl clutching.

GOd is the world’s biggest abortion provider-take it up with them.

No no no! ABSTINENCE ONLY. Life is a trial and only those who bear the burden of celibacy are worthy of Heaven.

They aren’t children. They aren’t even born. Children have to be born. They are zygotes. Learn some science.

You arent a real person to me until youre old enough to get me a beer.

You may choose as you wish, sport. Fetii are not autonomous and non-sentient. They don’t have “wants”. I assume you’ve adopted kids from the foster care system, right? Put your time and money where your misguided mouth is.

I’ll bite.

I sure hope you’re donating a significant portion (let’s say 20-30%) of your salary (and not just this month, but MONTHLY) to both hurricane/natural disaster relief efforts and to organization that help fight homelessness, poverty, and offer birth control.

I mean - if anyone can tell who what woman is from her face being obscured by an umbrella, sure.

That’s what we need! Bold, uncompromising, in your face, despite-everything-the-GOP-has-done, service to people. Bring it.

I saw the Alabama Shakes a few years back and was gobsmacked by what a great guitarist she is. That is all.

I may not always agree with everything the 2nd wave feminists wrote and said, but I can’t deny that they sure did a bang up job of shaking up the status quo in a way that really hadn’t been seen (at least on a large scale) before then. Even today we’re still trying to work through the baggage of yesteryear, but eyes…

Being in eleven different bands is Nashville as fuck. Which makes their openers also worth noting: both Thelma and the Sleaze and Music Band (first two and last three dates of the mini-tour, respectively) are extremely fun and good.
