It makes sense, that internalized misogyny not only shapes out tastes, it shapes who picks up a guitar in highschool, who forms a band, even who gets booked. I’ve seen intense defensive posturing from male musical journalists and bookers when female artists point out how rarely they write about and book female / POC /…

I don’t know about y’all, but my FB feed was mostly full of guys listing 10 bands composed entirely of men. When a couple of my female friends pointed out how revealing it is that so many guys could claim to have no female musical influences, surprise, surprise, all their male friends have gotten defensive, one called…

They might, but it doesn’t mean no disadvantage exists. Again, I’m not talking about whiteness, because I don’t question the existence of white privilege. I’m talking specifically about Kara’s statement that certain women benefit from being women, because that is demonstrably not true. It’s the entire reason that we…

Which is why I said that white privilege is a thing, because it is. But no woman benefits from being a woman, and your stats don’t contradict that.

Since when have women, white or not, “benefitted from their womanhood”? The whole point of feminism that women have historically been disadvantaged because of their womanhood. White privilege is a thing, to be sure, but don’t try to claim that “woman privilege” is a thing. That’s MRA league shit.

or Bernie shirts tbh

Hey Rich, did you really think no one would notice that you basically stole this article from one posted to Pitchfork yesterday?

I agree with you, I’m in the greys anyway, and I’ll go further to say snarky nit picky take downs of women’s efforts and accomplishments (before they’re even released) by women are a reason why more things aren’t made by women and also why we have Trump now.

It’s Friday, I’m barely working, and I have the time and the thick skin needed to throw out this statement:

Exactly this.

SHE EXPOSED WAR CRIMES COMMITED BY OUR WORTHLESS AND VILE MILIATARY SHE IS A HERO

Fair enough. We should all just accept an unreasonably harsh sentence for a whistleblower just because. Never question authority.

She leaked a video showing US troops gunning down a dozen Iraqi civilians in cold blood, no one was ever punished for that and never will be. But bringing it to light gets you 35 years. I think that illustrates American priorities quite effectively... even comments on this site, I wish I had found surprising.

Yet a four star general who did the same thing was never prosecuted.
