Criticism isn’t censorship. That’s a pretty basic distinction, man.

The theatre is NOT a safe, apolitical place. The arts are a powerful tool for expression and social change. It’s also protected by the first amendment. He doesn’t get to fucking demand an apology. Get bent, Trump.

Sometimes truth needs to make a lot of people uncomfortable. That’s life, and people need to be adults. If you can’t deal with being put in a defensive position, that says more about you

“But what I did was accept the point, and politely point out that it could have been made in a way that was a lot less likely to put people on the defensive.”

I think if you’re pissed about someone being impolite about your experience as a person with autism then you should go ahead and be rude about it.

This. I do not doubt that this was planned to be a distraction from all of the bad news that the Trump transition has been getting swamped by. Was it appropriate and ethical for Ivanka to accompany the President-elect as he met a foreign leader, from a country with whom the Trump Organization may be interested in…

Agreed. After Jezebel was mercilessly mocked by male commenters on Gawker, and Gawker shut down, they’ve all migrated here and I find the level of empathy and civil discourse has suffered because of it.

OMG. I was hanging with a dude and he was telling me that he had recently been to some burlesque which has a pretty solid scene in my city. I was like oh yeah, isn’t it rad? And he continued to critique it, really focusing on how it should be more subversive if that’s what it is going for and as a straight guy a lot…

Man, to me, this is like going to an Onion News article and taking it seriously.

It’s not that men don’t have real issues. It’s just that a lot of this stuff is purposely spread around by misogynists to pretend like women don’t have issues.

Bruh. Get out of here with your #notallmen bullshit. If this post doesn’t apply to you-great! Read it (or don’t) and move along. Masculinity is soooooo fragile holy shit.

I’m having a hard time today with people with privilege taking it personally when other people speak up against the thing their group has done.

But...we /do/ really hate them. They /should/ feel like we hate them.

If the fuckheads in the alt-right think that we hate them, then that’s literally the only thing they are correct in believing.

Can someone please explain to me what the apology would be? Sorry we expect you to protect all Americans? Sorry we hear the words you say and see the actions you take and find them potentially indicative of the person you are?

youre thirty-great.

That imperative “APOLOGIZE!” and the end of Drumpf’s tweet just makes me want to scream: “FUCK YOU YOU’RE NOT MY REAL DAD!” then slam the door to my bedroom.

I’m familiar with the specifics of this—including the Snopes article, and while I’ll grant you that there did not have to be a public funeral, my takeaway is that a decision on burial or cremation by a funerary (that’s what it is, right?) be specified. If you hold that a fetus you have terminated is not, in fact, a…

Don’t forget that as governor of Indiana—THIS FUCKING YEAR—he signed a bill (thankfully thrown out by a human being of a judge) that would require women to hold funerals for fetuses not carried to term. HE’S A MONSTER!
