Pat McCaw is the name of a cartoon bird sheriff, right?

What a strange thing to say.

Can we please stop with the DNC hot taeks? We just elected a president because he promised to Make America Great Again, and you think that the choice of DNC chair is the difference that’s going to ensure three straight elections of Republican dominance? This isn’t a nation of policy wonks and deep thinkers. It’s an…

There’s an answer to your question. If you really want to know, just Google that shit instead of talking out your ass.

Compete in ski jumping and you might get a movie made about you.

Dude, the whole conversation is written down. You don’t have to guess what I said, and what I meant, and what the article was about.

You keep referring to the same problem several people have raised with a vague assertion (“Straight people can be vocal too”) without being able to give an example of what that would look like.

Uh oh, do these types of policies apply to commenters? Asking for a chum.

I wonder when people are going to realise that they’re responding to a joke about their city’s shocking amount of racism with, “No, Italians live here.”

The phrase can mean a lot of things. It could mean she sang about how much she loves the D. But we share a common language, and we use context and experience to understand meaning. And the context she used it in typically means she was outspoken about her sexuality.

Why are so many people pretending not to know what being vocal means? You are pretending, right?

“You make such lazy assumptions!” claimed the lazy assumption maker.

I agree about the conditions inside small communities, and I would agree that she felt like an outcast, compared to how she feels in the rest of society. But in the context of other comments she made, I’m not sure she’s the most reliable narrator for this story.

But you’re making my point. Is she claiming that there was an overwhelming culture of sexual harassment that she was fighting against? That seems unlikely, right? Then combined with the kinda nuts “98% lesbian” statement... what is she talking about?

This is a leap, yes. But how else is a person “vocal in [their] identity as a straight woman”? Was she organizing Straight Pride Days? Was she dealing with an overwhelming disrespect towards her straightness that demanded that she stand up for herself?

“Me being heterosexual and straight, and being vocal in my identity as a straight woman was huge.” This means she told dykes they’re going to hell, right?

100%. Not bourbon, though.

I can’t hear Tracks Of My Tears without substituting, “Although she may be cute, she’s just a prostitute”. Am I a bad person?

If people are going to buy into lazy stereotypes, shouldn’t academic achievement be “Acting Asian”?
