She’s a racist scumbag who teaches children. I really do wish she’d be fired, but it’s likely she’s surrounded by racist scumbags just like her.

Yeah, the Daily Beast’s says the same. Apparently, it’s a journey into “femininity.” Oh Cripes.

::grimacing:: Poor support staff.

Hey! Juliette Lewis is the tits!

Absolutely. I entirely agree with that. I don’t really think anyone is blame for feeling things about those words. They are pretty charged up words. Honestly, I just see all of us, cis and trans, as women. I mean, why do so many people insist on a monolith, like we come out of a package of twinkies or something? It’s…

Should this ever become an event, please, please invite me!!!

No! Don’t apologize! I love to read.

Best comment ever.

Adding that, now that I’ve read some of your posts, no, I’m sorry. You are very intolerant, and I can’t support that. Is there some ageism here? yeah. It’s a younger crowd, and sometimes, they do that. That will change as they, inevitably, age. The rest? I don’t see anyone really asking her to shut up as much as…

I get that. Still, it’s a really politically charged word which we weren’t even allowed to discuss, in any way, in public until very recently. A woman was tossed from the Congressional floor for saying it aloud this past year. I would urge everyone to rethink the resistance to claiming these words as they stand for…

These are great ideas. My only concern is over the sudden desire not to call the vagina a vagina. I would like it if all women could remember how very charged and political that word is and how important it is to claim it, whether you have one or not. The rest is people perhaps (I am guessing) being threatened by…

Yes. The comments about words are not bad ideas. As a group, despite our disagreements, we need to work together for some common goals. One of those has to do with abortion rights.

I agree. That’s very much on point.

One quibble. Can we not be ageist? Thanks. As a 50 year old person, I do not have these views of which you speak, and I’m super not okay with younger women lumping older women together in this way. Thanks. She feels this way because she feels this way, not because she’s old.

Was you referring to Berkett? You used “she” after I spoke about Jenner. I was simply asking for clarification. I think you should maybe read my posts, all of them, before you continue with the freaking.

This means I’ll now have to re-read the book, you know. I blame you. ;)

Her who? Which “her” are you asking me about?

That’s what I liked about the book and the first movie. Ellie was there because she was competent in her own right. After all, it was Ellie who dug through dung and stayed out with the sick dino.

Maybe. But, if she’s at the park 24/7 as the manager .... yeah ... I don’t buy the whole heels thing, except I can see them putting her in heels to make her evil and fallible. That is, stupid because she’s wearing heels.

It’s the whole New Gilded Age shit, rearing its ugly head.
