I can’t help but think that the whole corrupt bunch of GOP lick-spittles in Congress will manage to side-step all of this. They lie, they irreparably harm our country, but as long as they can get a FauxNews gig or a cushy lobbyist job at some point after retiring, the country can go crap in a bag. These “patriots” and…

They had me at Cary Fukunaga. I’m in.

Stoller from Basterds mixed with Caleb Carr’s fabulous book?! Plus bustiers and atmospheric murk? I’m for it, of course.

Every time I read they were making a film of it, I would get excited but dreaded it in case they screwed it up. I think a series is a better plan, and I hope it’s as compelling as the book.

She looks like she spends even more time screaming at retail employees than I assume she already does

You’re reporting is keeping me sane. Because I know I’m not the only one who feels like it has been years but in reality it’s only 117 fucking days.

It does fill me with an extra special sort of rage towards people who get on black peoples’ case for “being unprofessional looking” when they have an immaculately braided/dreaded up-do’s, then talk about how Trumpf is a “great business man” even though he looks like a costume of himself designed for an especially…

And you have no desire to contribute to helping women or the LGBTQ members of our communities. Just the men. That close mindedness and singular thinking is what has led to 1 out if 4 black girls sexually assaulted before 18. How about wanting to close the pay gap for the women who are raising our children? That goes…

I’m a man. What is it you think makes teaching the same thing different just because of their gender? If my wife came to me and asked me how to teach confidents and self-reliance (lol) to my son because I’m a man and I know how to teach those things to a boy, I’d look at her like she was crazy. It’s her son, if she…

Yeah, but there IS a serious issue of progressive men who feel no need to confront their own misogyny or racism that is a problem that needs to be addressed.

I don’t care if you voted “blue” your entire life. If you are a misogynist, then you aren’t progressive.

A comparison someone recently used that I liked was the difference between being proud of Ulster-Scots (Scots-Irish) heritage and being a member of the Orange Order. Having Ulster-Scots ancestry is cool. Wanting to preserve Ulster-Scots culture, traditions, language, and folklore is cool. Joining an explicitly…

That’s nonsensical. How would you not be modeling behavior for your daughters? You gave a list of things you would “teach” your sons to be, presumably because you think those are good traits. You wouldn’t “teach” your daughters to be those things?

When you say that MRAs are pro male, does that include men of color? Are you fighting for the equitable treatment of men and boys of color? I’ve been on a lot of MRA websites and the word ‘nigger’ and ‘bitch’ are used almost as frequently as ‘like’ and ‘but’.

Ummmm....and you would teach your daughters to be reliant on others, to be weak and subservient? And you think those are the types of traits that define women?

When I was young I knew a kid who was jumped by gang members, he was beaten pretty bad. He was really deeply effected, his worldview rocked, and he went inward and was afraid of the world. After a little while he found support and started feeling better thanks to his new friends, skinheads. He focused on the fact they…

And here I was beginning to believe you might be one of those mythical MRAs, I’ve heard whispers about who isn’t sexist. But no, men=strong and aggressive, women=weak and soft. And apparently we aren’t self reliant. Lack of male role models in the classroom is because of men and how education is considered women’s…

You wouldn’t be the slightest bit curious as to why a man who supports women’s rights would join a movement fundamentally opposed to them? If a guy in a Confederate shirt told you it’s about heritage, not hate, would you take him at face value?

There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with either, but the emphasis on both as part of a construct of “traditional” masculinity creates little room for empathy, compassion, and external displays of emotion.

And white pride people think that white people are put-upon by a minority-controlled system and black pride people think that black people are put-upon by a white-controlled system. Only of those narratives has any basis in reality.

The fact is the MRA movement is a deeply misogynist one, as anyone who bothers to…
