Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

I mean...I guess I just always assumed Mr. Clean was gay. He looks like a daddy, you know? ...I came of age in the 90s, though, so it might be the single hoop earring he’s rocking that has pinged my gaydar.

Two things: 1. Those eyebrows are creepy as fuck; and 2. Where are the women who think that a man cleaning is not only somehow impressive, but so sexy they can’t keep their hands off him? Because I do the majority of the cleaning/laundry/etc. in my house and my wife has never interrupted my activities for some good…

I’m ready to be called into your meeting as a special consultant on women’s advertising and being male I will hold them with rapt attention as I slowly and plainly say “Listen to the women you work with you spineless dick holders.”

As recently as last week, I sat in a room with 4 males ages 46-67 as they all talked about the best creative strategies for a new advertising campaign for my company. Our product’s target is Women 50+ and Women 30-49 with children.

I had the same type of experience but it was weeping to Good Will Hunting...

OMG can you imagine? hah.

This is absolutely relevant. I think it’s confusing even among relatively woke white women as to what we should be doing a lot of the time. Is this where I sit down and shut up, or is this where I add my voice?

Yeah, I agree with Black Lives Matter and would consider going if I could find a march in my area, but I’m not sure how welcome I’d be there. Although I don’t feel THAT bad about not going, because I’ve been helping out other ways. Not BLM specifically, but donating and volunteering for causes that do a lot of good…

I think it’s interesting to watch a metaphorical infant taking its first steps, and then trash said infant for not being able to run a 40-yard-dash in record time. That, to me, is what this article does.

So protests only matter when you’re uncomfortable and/or under threat of violence? Someone downthread described this as a “woker-than-thou” contest, and she/he is exactly right.

And if they don’t what are you going to do? Pat yourself on the back for being right while the nation crumbles around you? You want results without investing in the process and instead disparage the process.

Serious question: does the Black Lives Matter movement have a set position on whether they want white people at their protests or not? I’ve read several high profile articles both ways. I’ll admit to staying away, in part because I’ve read several impassioned pieces saying that I shouldn’t go.

I was at the LA march too and I’ve seen a lot of discussion of race, but none about class. I had this very strong feeling that the average marcher had at least a college degree. That was what stuck out to me. You couldn’t have rolled a bowling ball down the march without hitting ten PhDs. There was a fairly vocal…

You see it on the other side too. Like you can’t be Republican and denounce Trump unless you want to called a traitor. You have to be with him for everything or be left out in the cold. (Hello, Romney.) Because of this we ended up with the GOP as it is today. A monster on Capitol Hill.

My protest is better than your protest

Agreed. An activists job at a large successful action is not to whine about why the people who showed up weren’t at the previous actions, but to do something — other than whining — to make sure as many of them as possible come back to the next one. This article is not helpful.

I mean, I would agree with you on most other articles about critiquing the Women’s March, but this article in particular just seems to take issue with...assuming nobody’s really into it, I guess? I dunno, it just makes the assumption that because people at these marches were enjoying themselves and posting about it on…

i think that melania does herself no favors standing next to FLOTUS. the genuine warmth next to the steely coldness of excess botox and lack of a soul is very jarring.

Sidebar—I really like Melania’s ensemble. Too bad the Apricot Pol Pot had to be elected for me to get to see it.
