One of the more shocking realizations in my life is that I am probably as uncomfortable using a non-gender-specific restroom as my great-grandparents were at using a non-race-specific restroom. (Note: I am not saying that race and sexuality are the same or that their civil rights movements are completely parallel).

All those examples are perfectly normal usage of the words. But in taken together, they indicate that Oxford is not concerned in any way with presenting language in a way that isn’t sexist and containing negative stereotypes toward half its users. There’s no such thing as perfect neutrality, but/and the choices they…

Also, those words are not solely or even most commonly defined that way. A telephone is shrill. An alarm clock. Intentionally choosing gendered shit to express a non-gendered adjective is irresponsible. Let people learn their bias from their shitty parents, as is tradition.

No.

Not really but Jezebel and Gawker are going to do their damnedest to make us think so, lol.

I’ve found that a lot of liberals [myself one!] believe that Sanders necessarily holds the same beliefs they do, whether or not he’s actually indicated those beliefs in his policies or policy statements. For instance, I have a friend who earnestly wrote on FB, “We need to make change! Come campaign for Bernie—a…

I think Not State will have a solid team next year.

I’m just impressed you understood his comment enough to respond. I’m still trying to figure out which parts are autocorrect and which parts are the failures of our education system.

Fascist agents of the dystopian corporate police state: They’re just like us!

I think HRC supporters are desperate to discredit him anyway they can.

Bernie Sanders Makes Another Sweeping Proclamation With No Plan

Oh, snap! Social Studies gets savage.

I’d be mad if I paid for first class and got moved to coach too.

Probably not. I'm Brooklyn based. I met her many moons ago when we were both in the music biz. I bumped into her and Gil at Coney Island last Spring.

To be fair if you see the whole post that guy put up and the context it is not what it seems. He says this in response to those defending the piece of shit rapist and he is not referring to any of the victims in the cases here. I mean, he shouldn’t have said it like that but basically he was arguing that these victims…

This doesn’t even make any sense. The “she’s already been aborted” line assumes that there’s only ONE woman who could have possibly been president. Yet how many white men candidates do we slog through every election?

Why do you think we haven’t had a woman as president yet?” First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton asked her guest over their lunch at the White House in 1995.

Yes! Nothing has ever made me feel more grown up than having everything I say provoke an exasperated eye roll.

Sometimes I am amazed that people hire me to represent them in court, and that when I stand up in front of the judge, he or she listens to what I have to say and occasionally even rules in my favor. Then I go home and eat a bowl of Cinnamon Life for dinner.
