The “everything is an -ism” movement only serves to make the left look ridiculous. It alienates everyone, undermines support for legitimate causes, and drives people to abandon the whole platform. Let’s not do this. Please, use the -isms sparingly before they lose all meaning.

You know we should really be giving Rachel a hand for.. wait, that’s ableist too. Can’t you see that..oh, I’m being insensitive to the blind. It’s great that Emma Watson is trying to give other women a leg up...ugh I suck at this.

Intersectionality is quickly turning into a cultish religion trying to eternally purge sin or thetans or whatever

There’s been a whole slew of articles recently in defense of looting and rioting by the usual outlets who would write such things, even right here. It’s speech, and don’t silence their expression of pain or some such nonsense. Don’t worry that’s what insurance is for, they say as if it magically makes everything…

It’s just the sharing and spreading of ideas. And ideas can mean different things to different people. There’s no right way to enjoy something you like and it doesn’t matter who does it first. No one’s use of an element or object in any way impedes how someone else has been using it originally. To use a modern…

I am not, in fact, the largest and strongest person in the world. Not even in the top 10! And though the voices in my head might like to think otherwise, I have but one body with which to defend myself. So there have been many, many instances I’ve been faced with some asshole much larger than me, or a group of…

If you catcall damn right you should be shamed, but the police have better things to do than babysit everyone. “Officer, he whistled at meeeeee” is a waste of everyone’s time. The police are not there to remind people of social boundaries. You exchanged hostile words and you’re fine. I get that in NY traffic every…

Feelings of being safe in public is such subjective bullshit. People are constantly chastised here for avoiding bad neighborhoods because they don’t feel safe. But it’s ok to trot it out here. Yes catcalling is bad behavior and should be discouraged. No, I don’t want to live in a world where every unpleasant social…

Awful people. Protest all you want, signs, leaflets, whatever. That is constitutionally protected as it should be. BUT DO NOT OBSTRUCT, ACCOST, OR HARASS PEOPLE. This goes for everyone on all sides of every issue. Anti abortion activists, Westboro church members, Black lives matter, everyone. You do not block…

Don’t worry too much. It’s pretty easy to get into and the community is friendly. Play a practice round to get a feel for each character, and then just jump into Quick Play where you’ll find which characters work for you. They’re all really well designed, and while in other games I tend to main one or two exclusively,…

Her gender is as she defines it, and she identifies as a woman. That isn’t disputed, nor should it be. For better or for worse though competition is separated by sex not gender, and she is intersex. If you divide a sport into different classes, at some point you have to delineate those classes into meaningful,…

Ghostbusters was awful and the force framing of it as a feminist thing vs manbabies or whatever is eyerollingly cringeworthy. This is no reason not to make women led films. As you said, the landscape is littered with terrible films centered around men.

Mansley - We can duck and cover. There’s a shelter right there.

The hair colors and fighting are only half the show. The stories, character development and relationships have been fantastic.

It’s still a semi-public room on campus. How on earth are you any more or less physically safe by having ‘no boys allowed’ on the door? It’s a convenience at most, which is fine. Keep the space, designate some other room for guys to comply with the law, and let that be the end of it.

A women’s only study room does nothing to prevent violence against women. Your safety is no more or less at risk in a study room than anywhere else on campus. At best it prevents annoying attempts at smalltalk while studying. Admit that it is for convenience and stop with the hyperbole.

You are not the customer. Advertisers are the customer and you are the product in the number of viewers. I would love a more variety of shows but pretending show creators owe you anything won’t get you far. Even more, creators in general owe the public nothing, so “pestering” them is pointless whether they are POC or…

That’s exactly how I felt about that show. While I’ve found some media gratuitous, poorly written and worthy of an eye roll, only SVU has grossed me out in how obviously it was geared toward titillation to those who didn’t want to admit that hearing descriptions of unusually twisted and brutal sexual assault is what…

It was more a general observation I’ve seen on many articles and comments here based on the dichotomy you brought up between shows that depict rape among all other violence and those that don’t. Sorry, I didn’t mean you specifically felt that way.
