The issue is that much like Steinem’s comment which implied women were only voting for Sanders because the boys were over there, it’s reductionist and insulting. It implies that the only reason women are voting for Hilary is because she has a uterus or that being excited to vote for a woman is somehow wrong. It also…

Don’t forget the people who freak out thinking you’re “playing the women card” or “weaponizing your gender” if you make any comment about how exciting it is to have a qualified woman able to run for president. What is wrong with acknowleding that this is a very cool moment in history?

In the Gawker comments a few days ago, I mentioned that I was a non-white, non-cisgender person while in a discussion with a well known Bernie supporter. In the very next comment, he quoted a small portion of my post and snidely told me I must be a white woman because I’m entitled enough to vote for Hilary and that I…

Okay but if you had to, what sauces would you use for each staff member and why?

Have you looked at pet deposits, city pet registration, and HOA fees? I own my condo, and I still pay hundreds more for pet owner fees just because my pooch exists. Worth it, but in any major city it costs more and is much harder to find a pet friendly place.

When I was offered a fellowship out of the country, I knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity but that there’d be no way to bring my dog. The cost of getting him over there was astronomical, the stress on him would’ve been cruel, and his quality of life would’ve been shit while there because mine definitely…

Right? My dog is getting up there in age, and my parents let it slip that they’ve started putting aside vacation time every year for the impending massive meltdown I’ll have. I think Louis C.K. called pets a heartbreak waiting to happen.

There are plenty of deep bromances in movies, an overwhelming amount in fact, but we’re still in very new territory for LGBTQ things. Gay characters are the sidekick, the bestie stereotype, etc or if they’re the main part of the story, they’re played and written by straight people. I get what you’re saying about…

Right? What if Finn’s straight or bi and Poe’s an incredible sex god, and everyone was having a swell time flirting? You’re young, you’re rebellious, you’re full of the Force and high on adrenaline and X-Wing fumes. It happens!

It’s fun to talk about. The games themselves are hit and miss unless you have some deep connection to a team or a player. Most people put it on but tune it out while doing other stuff during the boring bits, and this includes when you have people over specifically to watch the game. Talking about football, on the…

You absolutely need a CofS or at the very least an executive assistant to make this stuff happen. It’s a ton of moving parts, proposals to be crafted, research to be done, and it takes a ton of time and work. Same goes for really any large scale, high profile project.

Yeah, I was confused by this as well. I do see him as abusive because there’s no doubt he manipulated and broke her down, but there are more types of abuse that flat out choking rape. It would’ve been more interesting to see him worming his way under her skin from afar and watching her psychological tug of war and…

The article says that something like what you’re describing can be done well, and maybe that’s what they were aiming for. The problem is that this was written by a dude who covered his sports career at East Michigan and focuses largely on character witnesses, ridiculous NFL dream theories, and stuff that’s straight up…

What exactly do you think “inappropriate” means in this context and what kind of privileged world do you live in? It must be a place where rape, sexism and systemic sexual harassment doesn’t exist, and I’d sure love to visit.

The cause has been a large part of her campaign from the early parts of it. I can’t imagine her donors aren’t aware/would have major issues with it/won’t see this when it’s got national coverage. It’s not like she’s a Republican candidate. The Dems are a multicultural party, and voters of non-white ethnicity so far…

I bet you’re the kind of guy who sees catcalling as complimentary. Let me help you out here. The implication is, “I am physically larger and stronger than you, and I could have my way with you at any moment of my choosing. This thinking is justified because clearly you want this.”

I think it gets rolled into “slut”/victim shaming in general. Like clearly she was doing something to bring this on herself, and there’s their convenient excuse. Remember kids, rape culture is a man hating feminist conspiracy.

That’s why the moderator calling out Cruz at the debate was so fantastic. Cruz had no response to actually being faced with facts.

The issue is more that they’re not saying, “This nominee does not represent our values, so we’re not going to approve this.” They’re literally saying, “We don’t like the President that the American people voted for, so we’re going to block anyone he nominates no matter what.” That’s what Warren is saying here.…

But I’ve voted in every single election since I’ve been eligible to vote. EVERY.SINGLE.ELECTION. I haven’t missed a mid-term. I haven’t missed a primary. I haven’t missed a local or state election. I’ve written in candidates when I hated them all.
