This gentleman’s anecdote will be shocking to exactly zero percent of people of color who read it.

And no doubt an editor somewhere thought themselves real smart with the whole “mother” wordplay, because mothers being portrayed as “hormonal and emotional” isn’t some equally played out bullshit.

The older I get, the more the term hysterical provokes a cold, decidedly unhysterical, fury.

The phrase: “The mother of all meltdowns,” attached to Serena when male tennis players like Andy Roddick and the guy literally famous for his short temper, John Fucking McEnroe really REALLY puts into light how sexist tennis is.

And the fucking gaslighting - “look what you made me do.”

“Sweetheart.”

Oh yeah, clearly the interviewer was thinking: “If I spring it on her on stage in front of an audience she’ll for sure answer!” and the obvious logic behind that was shame, they thought that she would be too embarrassed to walk off and would just answer it.

...the posts were not meant to be public—they were “the result of an ongoing family dispute.

Right, but the context here is that she explicitly said no to the question being asked and then the interviewer explicitly ignored that request. It’s really hard for me to see any gray area here.

Did you all miss the part where the demonized, vilified, practically exiled young woman turned out to be an intelligent commentator on the state of politics and feminism today? Or are you still buying the spin being fed to you by the folks currently pillaging Nancy Pelosi (and, until chickens colonize the moon,…

Well, that certainly makes it okay for what purports to be a legit news organization to lie about why they brought her to the conference, sure.

HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYONE!

First off, work is work, and the people who do an honest job should be treated with dignity and respect, on the clock and off.

What were the grounds for her arrest? All the furore over the stripping glossed over the fact that an innocent woman was hauled off for something that isn't a crime

Lol of course Beto was the bassist. That means he'll be a good politician who just wants everyone to get along and will stop fights and provide a strong foundation for everybody to be at their best.
