Confession time. I’m a Washington Post and Slate troll, but not that kind. I look at it like this: these guys don’t care and/or don’t want to hear facts, figures, arguments, etc. There’s no mind changing. So I have a little fun instead.

I think the MeToo movement plays no insignificant part here. These are the same “men” (quotes because they’re fucking children) who claim they don’t want to hire women anymore because their afraid someone will take something wrong and they’ll be MeToo’d. They genuinely have no idea how to relate to a woman outside of…
And you are a wonderful feminist. You just supported another woman.
First, I am so sorry for your loss.
This is a really moving article. The one line, “Who wants this?” is so powerful in its pain that it became hard to read.
As a parent, I can’t imagine how heart-wrenching this must have been. Thank you for being brave enough to share it.
Yes, the media and pretty much everyone else jumped on this story too soon before they knew all of the facts. But let’s not forget, he was wearing a MAGA hat, which is shorthand for “I Hate Brown People” or “White Male Power” take your pick. WaPo didn’t exactly smear him. He told us who he was with the hat.
Publisher Synopsis: On May 2, 1973, Black Panther Assata Shakur (aka JoAnne Chesimard) lay in a hospital, close to…
“I eat salads, ok?”
Yeah, she did it in a sincere setting, and I think it is more effective that way than if she had done something on a stage for the cameras.
I hated P.E. so much that I got a note from a doctor to be able to skip it for years. I spent my time in the library instead, hanging out with the cool librarian who when I had to select books for book reports almost always handed me books on various banned book lists (this is especially awesome because I went to an…
Also worth noting: “founded in the 1970s” for any parochial school is a big red flag, as it usually means, “we pulled our white kids out of the public schools so they wouldn’t be tainted by the blahs.” Especially in Virginia and other states of the former Confederacy.
how about some more Avg Anna stats:
She probably deeply regrets it because the dude sucked at sex.
Dear girls: you are under no obligation to be nice to someone who creeps you out. You do not need to date a guy just because he says you're the love of his life. And you do not have to "give him a chance".
Friendly reminder that you are under no obligation to be nice to any guys that can’t take a hint, even if they seem depressed or “need a friend.” Your peace and safety come first and fuck anyone who tries to make you feel bad for it.
The father of a friend of mine was a manager at an auto supplier in MI. He made serious money in the 80's. Same thing happened to him. He was doing a legitimate transaction and the bank acted funny about it. He withdrew ecery penny on the spot and took it to the small black owned bank literally across the street. He…
I’m sure you are familiar with dogwhistling and how subtle word choices can make significant changes in meaning. (See: people vs. you people.)
If Republicans are so “self reliant,” I invite each one of those rugged individualists to self-deport to the still unimaginably fucked up island of Puerto Rico and rebuild it from scratch with only a KJV Bible, an AK-47 and a pair of bootstraps.
When I was a kid I really liked her. For some reason, the Bronco Billy movie made me laugh. (I was 9-10ish. I’m not sure if youth is an excuse for bad taste, but I’ll try.) I partially understood the palimony case. I remember an uncle saying she should keep her mouth shut and be happy anyone put her in a movie. I felt…
