All of this. It’s just another version of “well, what was she wearing, it must be her/the clothes/anything other than the men engaging in predatory behavior.”

I’m not convinced that the findings of this study make a particularly strong case against school uniforms. The point is taken that girls feel that being in uniform makes them a target, but I do think that adult men who engage in street harassment will harass young girls whether they’re wearing school uniforms with…

Unpopular opinion: I loved having school uniforms. My family couldn’t afford to buy us a wardrobe full of new clothes each year, and school uniforms made that economic gap less obvious. Plus, it made getting ready each morning a lot easier—no fussing about what to wear each day. You grabbed your uniform from the…

This isn’t about school uniforms — if it were, they could replace the skirt with trousers. This is a reason to smash the patriarchy and eradicate rape culture. The value of school uniforms can be debated. The value of patriarchy and rape culture can’t.

How do we revitalize communities without pushing people out and gentrifying? It’s a genuine question that I grapple with frequently and it makes me so angry. I was born and raised in an immigrant city that hipsters have no interest in, next door is a city that’s nothing like what I remember that’s been gentrified.…

I get what you’re saying, but the fact that your downplaying a lot of what has happened in Detroit over the last decade really makes you sound like a hipster tourist. Those of us in the know that chose to be part of this city, before and during its “rebirth” (I really hate that term only slightly less than “ruin…

This has always been how Detroit has thrived.

A man she “briefly dated”. These shrieking testicles need to fuck all the way off with this bullshit. I will mourn my beloved sister until I die. We talked about everything especially when we could see the end of the road looming. The one thing I never mentioned? Sexual assault. I briefly admitted that I had been…

Nothing in the letter Ketterer wrote proves her accusations are false. It’s incredibly common for a survivor of sexual assault/abuse not to disclose their history to someone they are dating. Hell, many don’t even disclose it to those who are closest to them. It’s also incredibly common for survivors to go on to have a…

Incredibly talented is a stretch. Talented, sure. Hyped, sure. But he’s not some incredible composer or producer. In the same way that Donald Trump is easily recognizable for accruing fame and notoriety but is not necessarily a good businessman or President, Kanye West is easily recognizable as a producer, star, and…

63% of white men voted for Trump. In this run-up to midterms, I do get a little fatigued by all the media’s “Will women come out/vote in force against Trump/the GOP?”, as if it is up to women (once again) to always be right do right, cuz we know men sure as fuck will not. Particularly women of color: “We ignore you…

The other responses aren’t entirely accurate. It’s bipolar disorder plus massive ego that prevents him from asking himself if something is a good idea because he thinks he has only good ideas.

I feel you, girl. Every single day it gets worse and worse here, and the most disappointing aspect of it for me is realizing that these shitbag women at these rallies have always felt this way. The progress made in the 60s/70s has been completely obliterated by these traitors.

You know what’s wrong with the human race? It’s always the worst/craziest people who have the most enthusiasm and energy. I don’t even feel fully awake for the first 12 hours of my day, and this asshole is all over the place jumping on tables, stealing microphones and giving speeches and shit.

You missed the “We should repeal the 13th Ammendment” and other attempts at making slavery look like it’s a good thing.

What was Kanye doing at CCS?

That school is for people with actual creative/artistic talent. 

He will proudly tell you that he’s unmedicated for bipolar disorder, and it’s his “superpower.” Try to contain your genuine shock and surprise.

Bipolar disorder.

Every time you think: he can’t stoop any lower, this is rock bottom. But there’s rock bottom, fifty feet of crap, then him.

I think it should be a mandatory law, that ranch dressing with anything should be outlawed.
