Is that now required, for some stupid reason.

SAM BEE WITH THE KNOCKOUT.

Hahahaha, “not exceptionally misogynist”! Am I supposed to ignore all of the misogyny and homophobia (I cannot even imagine what would have happened to this girl had she been a lesbian) in the Quran and treat Muslims with kids gloves because some orange cunt decided they were the perfect scapegoat to get him in the…

First of all, my criticism of Islam is not criticism of all Muslims. Why? Because religious people (of all religions) cherry-pick what they like about their respective religion and ignore the unsavoury stuff that they don’t like, like for example the fact that Muhammad raped a young girl. Cognitive dissonance and…

We burn children to death in the West? We send gay kids to ex-gay camps because Christians are fucked in the head but they burn them alive too? Or when an evangelical 17 year old announces to her family she’s an atheist, her family takes her out back and sets her on fire? I had no idea! Thanks for the info!

Hahahaha, no.

A culture in which a mother burns her own daughter alive should’t be criticized? Fuck off with that moral relativism bullshit...

Why does pointing out one religion's shittiness prevent the same from happening to another religion? Both are shitty, and fuck you or anyone else who wants to hide behind accusations of ”racism” as a means to give one of them a pass.

Or you know - we could hold both Islam and Christianity accountable. It’s not an either-or situation. And Islam is not connected to race, so there’s that too.

I can’t believe this is the banner story on the website today. We get it. We fucking get it. A and J over at The Slot are edgy cool socialists who voted for Bernie, along with the rest of Gawker Media. But guess what? This is a blog for women and two-three years ago, those writers could have swallowed their bitterness…

I find it interesting that people just can’t seem to trust Hillary and her policy points. People really believe that a woman who worked her entire life on progressive issues (yes, look up her record, look up her time in Arkansas, she’s a progressive) would flip the second she was in office. Like, there’s this…

Serious inquiry: why would it be wrong for a woman to vote for Clinton because she’s a woman? If Samuel L. Jackson proudly voted for Obama because he’s black, why can’t Jamie Lee Curtis say the same for Clinton?

I just don’t get it. Clinton called them super-predators and gets strung up. Saint Bernard called them sociopaths, and the media doesn’t even touch it. Ditto for the fact that he actually VOTED for the Crime Bill (which, btw an enormous number of black folks including everyone over the age of 40 that I know) and no…

This is an interesting moment for a lot of young activists and progressives, particularly people of color, who are like... I guess?

Hold on a second. For these people saying that they hate the idea of having to vote for HRC because she’s a woman, take a step back. It DOES matter that HRC is a woman, and not because of some froo-froo let’s all be politically correct, it’s time, garbage mantra, but because women’s rights, and the rights of many…

Sorry, anecdote is not evidence. The data shows that every single state with large minority populations has gone for Hillary. Minorities of all ages are supporting her, though it may not seem like it from your Twitter feed. Are there people of color who supported Bernie? Of course. Just like there are people of color…

IT’S TIME.

I keep thinking, if you don’t understand why this is important, you’ve never been one of two women in your PhD class of 15. Or one of three women in your cohort at work. Or though, maybe I’d want to do this in my career, and then remembered that 90% of people in that position are men. I cried the whole train ride home…

In less than a month it will have been 240 years since America declared its independence and this country began. In those 240 years there has not been a single woman as a presidential nominee of a major party. ABOUT GODDAMN TIME.

Isn’t that song a number of years old? Is that how Swift still portrays herself? I am not super-familiar with her oeuvre, but the most recent songs I’ve heard on the radio (“Blank Space” and “Style”) don’t seem to be focused on portraying her as innocent. I wonder why some people still are so determined to hold that…
