One time I asked this girl I knew to the senior prom.

At least he's wearing a lovely gold shirt.

Considering that her sister is a trans-woman and she has been very active in the LGBT community, I really don't think her intention was to exclude anyone from the label of "women". If I say "all women", I certainly am thinking of more than just white ones. To me, she was saying all communities- including women- need…

You know what I'm going to give her a big benefit of a doubt (and no, I'm not white so find a new argument internet snarks).

Women and gender were put into Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as an effort to defeat the act- the congressman who introduced it was notoriously anti-Civil Rights litigation. ERA, designed to…

That, kids, is called a strawman argument.

I understand how people are taking issue with it. However, the point remains that her intent was good. Furthermore, much of what I've seen of people taking issue with what she said is projection, as well as parsing of words far deeper than she intended.

I heard it a bit differently. I took it as her saying she thinks it's time we all band together and support one another. She's right.

Fuck off. I'm brown.

This stuff just blows my mind.

As I've said: So what if someone means well but doesn't quite articulate her idea as well as she might when the entire world is watching? Gotta find outrage somewhere.

So they tricked your team too?

More embarrassingly, the refs figured it out a solid minute before the announcers did.

Interesting, because before I worked at Chuck E Cheese, I worked at DZ doing Slide/tube clean up and yup, tickets. The balls made cleaning up 100 times worse, because I had to take all of the balls out, mop the ball receptacle, put new balls in, then clean each ball one by one in the back. Did you get to do birthday…

I think I know who this article is really meant for:

If you'd kept reading for another minute or so you would have seen that the piece is actually precisely about tidy narratives and that the opening section is not to be taken entirely at face value. The other option, as you seem to be aware, was to critique a piece you hadn't actually read.

Yeah but Franken did it and succeeded despite a back catalog of even more vitriolic material.

Had to look up Red Letter Media and found what you were talking about.
