That’s really not what this is about, and it’s pretty reductionist to say so. Yes, the announcers are dicks BUT (yes, but) if you don’t like baseball, then maybe don’t go to the game? I have no interest in their stupid events, so I wouldn’t go. I have no problem with people who come to baseball games who do not know…

Seriously - real fans are out buying beer and completely missing the game.

Speak for yourself. I love baseball, the actual game.

I would just like to add that the people who are saying that Baseball is too long and/or boring are:

I beg to differ, I love baseball! I managed to make it through a whole Giants game last night without taking a single selfie.

While I’m a lifelong feminist (since The 80s... When I was a kid & first heard & understood the term), I’ve gotta say I basically give zero fucks if anyone else chooses the term to describe their beliefs. It just doesn’t mean to everyone what it means to me.

Really? That’s your evidence for a once-great movement brought low by evil forces? A handful of moderate bloggers and two dudes who acted inappropriately facing some king of consequence for their behavior? Anti-feminists are such delicate creatures...

I love how the guys always argue that it’s about female supremacy. It demonstrates their critical thinking skills and their ability to form their own opinions rather than regurgitate what they’ve heard other men say. Like striving to eventually bring female representation in government and media and etcetera up to 50%…

Calling yourself a humanit just makes me think ‘I want gender equality! But I’m not like those rabid feminists, I’m a COOL GIRL (TM) humanist’

I’m sorry, I stopped at the name of her character. “Take heart, for Mrs. Pankhurst has been CLAPPED IN IRONS AGAIN!”

If Meryl fucking Streep is too afraid to use the word “feminism” then what hope do we have that other women in the industry will proudly embrace it? At least we have Emma Thompson I guess.

I read this and was like MERYL NOT YOU TOO WHYYYYY

Right?

Huh. I am a humanist and a feminist.

I’m a humanist too. I insist that the God of the Middle ages move towards the background in depictions of the individual. I believe in the study of Aristotle, in grammar, rhetoric, and philosophy. I like to paint my models naked, because the human form is noble and carries ideas. I am a humanist. Meryl, I love you,…

Did she follow it up by saying that “all lives matter?”

Ah that is indeed a misread as I am in truth not a person but a sentient burrito

In fairness to Tom Brady (UGH I never thought I would say that ever) lots of Americans feel that way. I don’t think he’s necessarily obligated to be a better citizen because he’s paid a lot of money to throw around pig skin or whatever it is that he does. Nobody hired the man to be smart, coherent, or politically…
