While tragic, the loss of this gorilla, we also slaughter one million chickens per day, so we can shove cheap meat into our fat faces.

And this is a topic that I (granted a cis man, but assuredly a feminist) think is really important to talk about but I KNOW I will catch flak for it on Jez (which is ok, my skin is thick).

Just beautiful.

I just had to write—a tip of the hat for "Kali Ma'ed uterus"

I mean, if she had said “if women don’t want to get raped, they should stop drinking so much and making themselves victims,” we shouldn’t cherish that sentiment just because she used her own Kali Ma’ed uterus to personally slap Hitler across the face or whatever. We can respect her for her struggles and

Can’t one fully respect her history and achievements while disagreeing with her on this, or nah?

Who is disrespecting her? Its not a bad thing to support a woman for president. But to tell all women to toe the line and support Hillary because she is a woman, instead of because she might be the better candidate, is insulting.

Heck, as a Bernie fan, I can recognize that Clinton herself has overcome plenty of adversity and broken a lot of barriers for women. Same goes for Steinem and Albright.

That said, being a badass lady doesn’t protect you from criticism, particularly when you are insulting and belittling the women you claim to fight for.

She was born in fucking 1938 in fucking Czechoslovakia until FUCKING HITLER forced her family into exile in England during the Holocaust (in which THREE of her Grandparents died). She lived through the blitz in London, hiding under a metal fucking table during Nazi bombings.

I think the messaging needs to change for some of these older feminists.
