Do you really only contextualize marginalization with “being known now for a few years?”

Did you notice that Jezebel didn’t mention the problematic AF conversation she had with Jessica Williams this time last year, where she tried to silence Jessica about the racism and sexism that Jessica had experienced? What a difference a year makes.
Salma Hayek is an example of a problematic person, too. Am I the only one who remembers her ridiculous conversation with Jessica Williams? It irritates me that no one wants to continue to call her out for the bullshit she spouted there about “hard work” and not “allowing yourself to be victimized” (also the…
What about you making Jennifer’s epiphany viral last night? What about that?!
It took me three re-reads of “I hope you didn’t feel tokenized” to get to Glover’s masterful response.
Don’t you do that! I really haven’t ever been able to understand the Pnina appeal.
This helps me understand (somewhat) her weird & problematice exchange with Jessica Williams.
Yes, there is a Black woman on the cover. A few people were actually commenting on the thought process of TIME magazine about which women to include, and that it would have been great to include, specifically Tarana Burke, who started #metoo; or Anita Hill, who is the OG of speaking up. No one is diminishing what…
Maybe don’t assume we haven’t, and that we’re talking about how the cover plays. Maybe just appreciate that we’re happy about the concept but can actually suggest other things to make it better.
I’m not being snarky here. I don’t know what “sue PC” means. But, I assume it has something to do with Black women’s voices being irrelevant as long as Time magazine sees that there are white women out there speaking up!
Do you not get how you sound when you say things like Opression Olympics?
What are we doing, exactly? This is like the men who say they’re just going to stop taking meetings with women. Look, we can ask why the woman who started the #metoo hashtag isn’t there. Or Anita Hill. It’s okay for us to ask why stories that are supposed to center women leave out key elements, especially when…
I love every moment of this. Thanks for sharing. I hope you didn’t get into too much trouble!
Reese’s Pieces is a trash candy and who cares that they are ET’s favorites. He didn’t have a sophisticated enough palate to understand what is actual candy goodness! Fight me!
Yes, I realize that . . . and I still take exception with that characterization. Hence my point about Senator Brooke.
She was an Eddie Brooke Republican, in Massachusetts. You need to know your history before you start calling people Uncle Toms. Jeez.
Gonna keep saying it . . . Eddie Brooke Republican, in Massachusetts. Desi makes an excellent point.
Many of the outlets changed their wording to include “out” in recognition of this.
I’m going to keep saying this . . . she was an Eddie Brooke Republican in Massachusetts, before the modern era.
She was an Eddie Brooke Republican in Massachusetts. And, yes a Christian but not in the modern, ultra conservative sense of the word now.
