Can’t really blame the white vote for going Trump. When was the last time the national democratic party actively tried to court rural white voters? It doesn’t matter if our plans are more beneficial than conservatives’, they have their own particular grievances that we tend to belittle and mock to our detriment. They…

Try harder. Your candidate that you all were so smug about since Day 1 lost to a sexist, racist, xenophobic, rapist, orange clown who has no actually policy ideas other than the fact that they’ll be BIG LEAGUE and TREMENDOUS.

Good thing the Dems told that left wing guy who catered to the Rust Belt and other old manufacturing centers to fuck off, huh?

It’s def part of the problem. People just going to the well of racism, sexism, and phobias. And it’s empty for most people out there. The people here will never get it. They feel those things too strongly. The problems of sex ism aren’t fixed by your bullshit online posts, but rather by equal pay acts and…

It was obvious that io9 is but a pale shadow of its former self when Kevin J. Anderson novels started showing up in these lists.

Fantasy: Philip Pullman’s - His Dark Materials Trilogy

That’s $168 million, not $1.68 billion. Still a lot of money, but, like, a lot less.

After the presentation, ESPN president John Skipper reiterated that Schilling was fired for hateful views, not conservative ones

It’s one thing when no alternative for girls exists. But there IS an alternative. Girl Scouts can and do all the same outdoor things that Boy Scouts do. If their local troop isn’t doing it, then a parent of one of these girls needs to step up and help them organize such events or start a troop of their own. Perhaps…

These girls couldn’t be doing this with the encouragement and support of their parents.

Seriously. My mom started a new troop when I was small because the woman who lead the other troop in town always canceled meetings and didn’t work on organizing activities that earned badges. We camped and built fires and learned first aid and how to sew....it was pretty awesome. These parents just need to step up and…

Why can’t they simply change what the Girl Scouts do? Like if they see a fun activity that the boys are doing, why can’t their troop do it as well? The boys camp? Well, organize a camping trip for the girls. The boys hike? Let the girls do a hiking trip as well. I don’t see why they would have to join the Boy Scouts.…

here is my two cents nobody asked for: Not quite sure why the Unicorns can’t just form their own Girl Scout troop and do outdoor stuff with girls their own age. The whole point of these organizations is to develop skills and friendships among a gender-specific peer group. If you don’t want to participate according to…

well heres the thing. these girls should be allowed to join the boy scouts because only women deserve spaces reserved for only one gender, boys don’t. Every true Feminist knows that. I mean isn’t that the deifintion of equality? women getting to join both girls only and boys only organizations and boys killing…

Exactly...

I was also struck by this. Somehow if the administration and faculty don’t show visible emotion in a professional context they lack empathy or the ability to listen and consider what they’re hearing? I’m sure I’ll get slammed in the comments for this, but this sounded like a breach of decorum on the part of the…

The response of the students to their meeting with school executives is embarrassing. They’re complaining about a lack of “empathy” from people that are acting professionally. These aren’t their therapists; it’s the goddamn DEAN OF THE SCHOOL..

I will never call myself a feminist just for the simple reason that I don't need to have the I-joined-feminism!-Did-You??? button pinned to me in order to believe in fairness or feel platonic compassion for a fellow being. Feminism is a cult and it spews the same hypno-doctrination that other cults have used for…

Amen sister, and all the people here talking about how thanks to feminism they can work, don't even seems to grasp that as Black women we were working ages before that shit. We were working for no pay, being abused , raising their children while they and their husband abused US. So yeah we're thankful to feminist, for…

Why do we only ask female pop stars if they are feminists (and then wring our hands when they do not answer how we want them to)? I do not recall anyone asking Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, or a Drake if they are feminists...
