I love how the discussion is so shallow on the right when they say, “Yeah, those are shitholes.” There’s no follow up on how those countries got so poor (hint: mostly because of the U.S. and European countries).

The piece: delicious. The rolls: shitty. I loved the writing so much and the author now has new fans for life. If it also sticks a fork in Battali, well, hey ... bonus.

Her post is one of the best things I’ve read on the internet in a while.

I don’t think you get through the casting process on a reality TV show without revealing that kind of personal history.

Thanks for that. I’m trying to be less of an asshole, and it was really hard not to point this out. I have to go into a quiet place and scream into a pillow when I see “begs the question” used incorrectly, too.

Looking forward to how Huckabee-Sanders spins this: “The President meant it in the nicest possible way. As in, ‘I love what you’ve done with this shithole’.”

FAKE BREWS!

“He suggested, in an obvious reminder of his racism, that the United States should attract people from Norway, instead.”

He’s a racist, and this is going to solidify it in a lot of peoples’ minds. Even some people who might have been on the fence (how you’re still on the fence I don’t know). It’s hard to spin this as positive unless you also hold racist views.

He said this in front of a bipartisan group of congressional leaders. Which proves not only that he’s racist, but he is a fucking moron who may be losing what little mind he once had.

I haven’t read theorizing of the 4th or 5th waves, but the way the way it breaks down is this: the first wave was named retroactively by the second wave, and it was a term they applied to the 19th-century suffragettes (Susan B. Anthony and so on).

They also seem to have a bootstraps mentality of “Well, if I could make it in a man’s world, why are you complaining?”.

From my basic, 101-level Women’s Studies understanding, third-wave feminism is LGBT, Queer and gender-fluid inclusive, recognizing it’s more than women who are oppressed by the patriarchy.

Yes, because the two aren’t mutually exclusive. I think the better question would be if you would share your food with said starving child. Second-wavers attacking sex workers or women who choose to dress a certain way are not doing anyone favors or helping correct patriarchy.

People who are feeling left out need to learn to deal with their feelings and stop asking the people who have had it much worse than them to manage their feelings for them.

I’m not an expert, but the way I always defined them was: First Wave was the suffragettes, who were demanding basic civil rights for women. Second wave was in the 60s and 70s, and they were demanding full legal equality with men, especially not being barred from male-dominated careers. Third Wave feminists are…

Actually, I think some of the most interesting authors like Ariel Levy are technically Fourth Wave. But you have to contextualize that people at the time had been brainwashed into thinking that all feminist battles had been fought, and the most important thing a woman could do at the time was to be in a Girls Gone…

I’m not an expert, but I wonder if there’s much consensus after “Second Wave” white, privileged feminism. Though it had its heyday in history, it’s not as though it’s a historical blip that has gone away, as the linked articles above and many comments sections the Internet over demonstrate. I think we’re in the…

Third wave is mostly considered to be “choice feminism”. Like “I choose my choice so it is ok, and it has nothing to do with the patriarchy if I do porn/get plastic surgery/pretend to be dumb to get men etc”.
