...Man, I think I’m going to keep coming back to this piece all day, thinking about it more. Upon reflection, this bit is really sticking with me:

The city’s permanent residents should really adjust to the needs of the casual, pants-pissing visitor.

Whatever, they’re both in eastern Europe...

Yeah the Overton window has moved significantly on healthcare.

That’s not the definition of mansplaining as explained to me by so many women I’ve discussed it with. What you define in the first paragraph is just run-of-the-mill condescending behavior. Frankly, I’ve seen as much of that from women in the workplace as from men. I was under the impression that “mansplaining” is when…

The cops wanted to find something in the guy’s blood so he could be blamed for the accident, rather than the high speed car crash that essentially caused the accident.

Brie Larson does seem to be an advocate for women - see her disdain for Casey Affleck, so I expect she’d have made a fuss if she knew what was going on. She’s a pretty big name now, so hopefully her condemnation will force Cinefamily’s hand to get rid of those two assholes.

That is a smart rule for anyone in a professional environment. However, this instructor was experiencing a complete failure in judgement on multiple levels, so the door was probably the least of his issues. (I did not go to his office alone after that incident, always taking another male student with me)

Hopefully this asshole

I fear this is 100% correct. He’ll just go back to Breitbart and crank the outrage to 11.

My (overvalued) $.02:

This is window dressing, a meaningless gesture to appease ‘traditional Conservative Republicans’ and the Generals.

Bannon will say he will continue to support the Circus Peanut’s agenda, early Redditors/Breitfarters will be mad initially but briefly, and the bullshit will continue.

I always find it suspect when a mother lets the kids leave, especially when so young.

Internet porn is only beginning to show it’s devastating effects on children.

I believe that’s Russian dressing.

There are no such thing as allies. No one is fighting for you. Even people just like you, fighting for causes you believe in and will benefit from - they are not for you either.

Stop worrying about what people you don’t know, who don’t know you or your family, think.

Tarly wasn’t xenophobic the Dothraki are an invading army known for raping and pillaging. It’s not just propaganda it’s true. These aren’t refugees they are an invasion force.

That’s a brilliant elucidation of the Danielle’s argument, I dare say better than her own, and certainly better than mine. Here’s where my own misanthropic view of human nature makes this all ugly. Pretty much anyone who forwards a cause is doing it as a form of self validation of their views. Humans have an intrinsic…

Yes, I do see that I am doing the exact thing that Danielle is speaking about. Obviously, I disagree with aspects of what she said and was making that clear. I’m a realist. Just from the aspect of pure numbers POC need every single white person possible to rise up against this wave of white supremacy. We’re beyond…

Heather Heyer, the white woman who was killed, certainly had her privilege checked didn’t she? In fact the vast majority of the counter protesters were white which, due to simple demographics, is the way it’s going to have to be to push back against the resurgent white supremacy movement. Some white person reacting to…
