The Olympics selects for athletic outliers, for freaks! That’s the entire fucking point of the Olympics — we send our athletes, collected from the far tail-end of the curve, to compete against other countries freaks. That we’ve collectively decided that this kind of freakishness is actually something heroic to aspire…

Where are you getting this information? The results of the tests she underwent were never released, so unless you are her doctor it is not possible that you would know this information.
Here’s the thing. She can’t call herself a feminist and still support people like Kurt. This isn’t the first time she’s said or done problematic stuff. She really should immerse herself in intersectional feminism and the movement to stop sexual assault/rape to better understand these issues. I’m sick of celebs hiding…
Well, despite all of that, it sounds like you have done a great job parenting your kids. You have taught them love and acceptance without the church (imagine that!), and that’s awesome.
I think we need to read Hidden Figures and have a Jezebel book club post for it before the movie comes out.
I saw the trailer last night at a movie screening of Florence Foster Jenkins (great movie, by the way, and Hugh Grant can actually act in it, which is kind of remarkable, and Simon Helberg is also quite adorable) and I was so excited I nearly jumped out of my theatre seat! Also, it looks really beautiful on a big…
(And also insist that women and non-white men aren’t capable of intellect at that level).
Between Henson and Spencer, I’m sure this film will be a pleasure to watch. In addition, the existance of the movie will serve as a nice reply to bigots who insist that white men (and only white men) put a man on the moon. Winning the space race took a team effort, it’s time we met hidden members of the team.
You need to have a capacity for self-reflection to be able to see and work on that kind of damage. They don’t seem to have that capacity in any way.
As a mom i identified with the mother as soon as i saw the video. I know that calm. I was pulled over by a police officer who did not want to let me go. He kept coming back to my car asking more questions. I did not have nor was i on any drugs or alcohol. License, reg, insurance in check. I even had a gold card from…
To me, her “calmness” was very similar to the way a horse trainer speaks to a spooked and dangerous animal. She couldn’t risk setting Officer Triggerhappy off on herself or her daughter.
Old white dudes - freaking out over what they don’t understand since the beginning of time.
I’m over crochetty old white people talking shit about Beyoncé and Cam Newton this morning. Dear fellow white people:
Somehow I don’t think “respect for police officers” is the answer to the whole police officers shooting unarmed citizens problem we have in this country. It’s kind of hard to respect an institution that keeps shooting your family, friends, and neighbors in the back on a regular basis. That’s just me though. I could be…

I agree that their gender probably isn’t WHY they’re being written out—but don’t you think it’s still significant in the big picture that systemic power is feeding into a situation where women could potentially not get top billing for technology that they pioneered (and thus not get the monetary rewards or…
Can’t wait for Ganeshram’s next story about those great blankets the white man gave the Native Americans.
Thank you! How are we gonna talk about hip-hop’s biggest feminist and not mention any actual women??
