I am tired of men defining real rape as “the level which I haven’t done to a woman”. The rape definition changes and doesn’t get believed because these men feel guilty as fuck because they knew in their hearts they’ve crossed lines and boundaries. Tarantino sits at home at night and lies to himself he’s not a rapist…

I actually don’t think I’ve ever related to a Jez article so hard before. I’ve been increasingly in the grip of baby fever for the last few years, and yet- climate change was always lurking in my head. Then on Nov 9,2016 I decided that going forward, before I had kids, I would need a little more certainty that there…

Rural life can be dangerous at times.

Word. Someone disagreeing with you is not the same as the government persecuting you. How many times do we have to explain to people that “free speech” does NOT mean immunity from criticism?

You were obviously wrong and let me explain why:

Being FTM, I don’t feel offense at Rose here for her rants at all. IDK, You might exclude my opinion because I’m not the exact MTF target, but I thought Id offer my feelings as a transgender person. 

Indeed. It’s a very strange battle to be fighting. And that the person shouting down Rose talking about her abuse is themselves an acused abuser just makes the whole situation even sketchier.

You can’t possibly be this stupid, so you must be a troll.

I wholeheartedly agree. However problematic a communicator McGowan is on the issue of sexual assault as a whole, she isn’t a professional activist nor is she merely an ally. She is a woman who is trying to tell her story, and it’s not her responsibility to background herself or surrender her time or her voice to…

This is what I don’t get either. What is she supposed to do? I’m not an activist for trans women. It’s not my place nor am I comfortable with involving myself a movement I frankly have questions about. I, sympathetic to trans women, and will use my voice to amplify their stories, but I’m not doing any more than that.

This. My friend was in the audience (she works & that b&n and as able to snag a standing spot). She said the heckler was extremely rude and had been quipping the entire time rose was on stage. I don’t take Rose to be a TERF at all. I think she’s so tired and so frustrated and so hurt (all valid) and coild use both a…

I’ve been noticing lately a push to create division between feminists and maybe I’m paranoid, but the tone and all-around vibe remind me of the bot-misinformation-explosion before the US election in ‘16.

Andi Dier was trolling an obviously emotionally fragile woman. I’m not sure why Mortal Dictata and others feel the need to reward her behavior by treating her like it was some brave speaking truth to power moment. It’s just manipulative, messy, and sad.

I haven’t gone down the rabbit hole of all that Rose McGowan has said regarding trans people. However I have one big question. Why is Rose McGowan expected to do something for trans people? It’s an honest question. Did she ever say she would? Is she making fame or money off the backs of trans people? Why is the…

Hmm. There’s a lot about how McGowan is approaching this entire thing (Weinstein, her book, her show) that I would do differently. There’s a lot of anger there and a lot of overly-emotional stream of consciousness bilge. She tends to lash out in a super reactionary way to anyone she senses is attacking her, whether…

Hmm. I dunno that I think her reaction was transphobic. I think she was absolutely wrong on the stats she threw out in the second video, but she said again and again that trans women are women. The woman who was yelling at her was accusing her of doing nothing about violence against trans women and, in particular,…

Hello there :) Hi. One thing :

Uh . . . by your “equation,” white women who have been assaulted by powerful men would be victims of racism. And, quite frankly, it’s NOT that simple. It never is.

You know just because you feel that way, doesnt make it true right? Thats ridiculous lol.
