Listen, “if you don’t want to get punched in the balls, don’t touch women when they don’t want you to” is a good rule of thumb for life. As someone who has both acted like an asshole and been punched in the balls for it, I’ll give this a pass. It sure as hell taught me a lesson.

As a ball-haver, I’ll say this. Getting hit in the balls is awful. But if men are going to be bigger and stronger (generally, there are a lot of women that could kick my ass in a fair fight) then women absolutely should go after the balls when threatened. I taught my sister that, I taught my nieces that, and it’s the…

I love when people use this argument. Our country’s collective fore bearers couldn’t agree that owning other human beings was bad. I don’t give half a fuck what they would think.

God. Brotherhood. I love it so much, I have to deliberately not watch it so I dont burn out.

He’s not wrong. The people who are willing to look past Trump bragging about committing sexual assault because he promised them that The Steel Mill Will Reopen! weren’t going to be dissuaded by him saying “n****r”—in part because so many of them use the word themselves.

Okay, consider the events from Tilda Swinton’s perspective....

Exactly, it is such a “lose/lose” situation. I usually stay quiet during these debates because yes, I am a white person, and I know that my input isn’t needed for many discussions surrounding race, but this debate is really bothering me because it seems non-sensical to me. When white people in entertainment ignore…

I explain Judaism all the time. Even questions about “But don’t you believe in Jesus?” I don’t tell them fuck off and figure it out themselves. My God, don’t you want people to learn? Especially from someone who has positioned herself as a spokesperson? smdh

So if someone is publicly lambasting you, you wouldn’t want to explain your side and ask them personally for a more nuanced view of their take? Also, it’s kind of fucked up to write:

Again, didn’t Tilda Swinton literally say “feel free to tell me to fuck off” meaning “I understand if you don’t want to educate me on this, if that’s the case just say so no worries.”?

Wait, what? Swinton knew and respected Cho’s work, knew that she had a strong opinion on the issue, and asked to be put in touch to understand Cho’s point of view.

It really feels like lose/lose for Tilda here.

No one said it was her job. Tilda asked if it was ok, very politely. Cho accepted. You can’t just absolve her of the words she said after that because she shouldn’t have accepted in the first place. How would you suggest Tilda gain knowledge on the subject?

I think Cho comes off looking worse in this than Tilda. Though my first thought was why on earth would she seek out the opinion of Margaret Cho in the first place? It seems like just such a bizarre out of nowhere email to send to someone. I mean maybe there is some more backstory here that we aren’t getting, but that…

Cho has made herself one of the main voices of this debate and was publicly criticizing the movie and Swinton. If someone does that, they can’t then claim that if someone wants to talk about it with them that they are being turned to as the only Asian in the room. She has set herself up as an expert on this issue for…

They are. Sam Bee made a great point the other day that the “identity politics” that are being degraded right now by Old White Men are what we used to call civil rights and equality.

I don’t understand where this “charismatic Bernie” thing comes from. He’s a cranky old man who yells about trade and Wall Street. He rarely smiles and I’ve never heard him laugh. He’s completely blind to anything concerning women and minorities (see Ta-Nehisi Coates’ appearance on MSNBC last night, he agrees).

Sorry the lady with all the experience wasn’t young or cool enough for you.
