See, this is how we know you’re not a woman. Because a woman, living in NY, has surely heard of women being called “females” in a derogatory sense. Only men are unaware of this. Unless you are under the age of 10 or over the age of 75, you are either profoundly uninformed to the point of being unlikely to have regular…

no, ur not

lol, yeah, unless there’s a growing trend among millennial women who comment on websites like Jezebel referring to themselves as “A FEMALE,” I’m gonna have to agree that this one is 100% not a woman.

Would also make an amazing kinja name

I was gonna say, that Kathie Lee quote is shady AF and I’m HERE FOR IT

he said something with (r)acist overtones and that reinforces a (r)acist narrative of respectability politics and proper patriotism

Legitimate question - is the charge here that she is racist or that she chose her words poorly? I know her words and expressions here are shared by people with bad opinions, but does that alone make her a police brutality denier or a white supremacist? Is this a “walk like a duck, quack like a duck” situation? Because…

I certainly do (did?). With everything else this year, I don’t think I can mentally even comprehend of RBG being less than eternally on point. I realize this is a losing and unrealistic expectation. But such is the nature of finding out “your fav is problematic,” I suppose.

I personally agree with you and with this particular player’s method of protest. I’m willing to extend her the benefit of the doubt until further confirmed, which I admit I would not normally do, precisely because of who she is and her history. She may very well be a racist old coot playing respectability politics…

I have no insight into whether her motivations align with your assumptions. I do have access to 20 years worth of majority and dissenting opinions she has authored that contradict these assumptions, and so do you, if you cared to read them.

She may hate sportsball as much as I do. She may have strong opinions about certain methods of protest she finds disrespectful. Nothing she’s said is racist, unless you can’t call anyone who isn’t white stupid or arrogant. I’m completely aware that to some there is racial underpinnings to such charges - I personally…

She specifically upholds his right to demonstrate, and does not dismiss it. What on earth are you talking about?

While I disagree with her about this, I still think she’s a boss. What matters is that she defends his right to do so. Moreover, if RBG is against something, rather than dismiss her out of hand, I respect her enough to give pause and consider how she’s framed her argument, since she has spent a lifetime championing a…

Plz you is giving dog a concern

It’s official: her hair is perfect

Great, I barfed twice

I would argue August 9th (1945 and 1974) and weren’t so great, either

Again Brian, I think the lesson from all this is you need to find better friends.

Seriously. Ban men.

I assume you do. You seem like the kind of guy with his nose firmly in the jock strap of the latest locker room dirt.
