I am glad you posted this and I am also sad to see the responses to it.
We seem to be regressing. It’s like every year women get more invested in patriarchal practices and gender (roles).

Jezebel was always a white, liberal, choosy-choice, sex-positive, fun-feminist website. The tone was always “if it empowers me…

Not if you block the ads. ;-)

How did black women feature in the black labor movement?

Try the Honor Harrington series. I am going through them myself at the moment and they so kick ass.

Except her athletic career. There is no way Caitlyn would have been allowed anywhere near the Decathlon during her peak athletic years, if she had been born in a female body.

Problem is that many white women didn’t hate Trump enough to even bother to vote. The turned-out among white women as somewhat pathetic and most of those who did no doubt voted along with their husbands.

I understand and respect your sentiment, but I am going to humbly disagree with you here. She would have been just as strong to me if she had not (yet) been able to address a crowd like this. Everybody grieves in their own way and at their own pace.

It has unfortunately the effect that many women now mutilate their genitals, particularly their labia, to confirm to men’s stupid ideas of what they want women to look like. They call normal labia “beef curtains”.

I have seen quite a few of Dr. Dines’ speeches, but I hadn’t yet seen one with the slides. Thank you for posting this.

Do you need to talk to orcas to understand how living and performing at Seaworld is fucking them up? It’s quite possible to study the effects of certain practices on living beings, such as humans, to understand how it harms them.

But then again, from your previous posts, you have already outed yourself as a shill for…

Easiest solution: Recognize that porn is hate speech and prosecute accordingly.

Do they literally think what I wrote above? Probably not, but I have not doubt that many a woman would rather give up her left arm than be called a “prude”.

The “Free Speech Coalition” is the very wealthy and influential porn-lobby. Take whatever they have to say with a grain of salt, since they mostly advocate for (simulated) child porn, racism, verbal, physical and sexual abuse and other forms of hate speech against various marginalized people in society as expressions…

I know, there are a lot of women who don’t realize that and think that in order to be a “normal, empowered, modern, western “ woman you let your male partner film your encounters and don’t ask where it ends up.

I hear you. I also keep waiting for the watered down, choosy-choice, self “empowerment” movement to lose its popularity so that real feminist communities, with political discourse will be easier to find.

Thank you for quoting Gail Dines. Jezebel is a “feminist” site with surprisingly little feminism most of the times.

I think those “amateurs” are actually paid, if Rashida Jones’ documentaries are anything to go by.

I think that rather than pointing fingers the navy needs to take a good hard look at their standards of training and watch keeping while underway. They need to put their crews through better training and more simulations, based on lessons learned from these collisions.

What you need are calm, organized and structured…

Well, when I read the article I got the impression that the focus was not on how to enjoy the outings you do have, but to let go of the notion that you must have them and forced “instagram-perfect” family fun.

If that makes you sad then you imply that families splitting up for certain outings is a compromise and…

Way to not read the article. It says that they do enjoy spending time together, but that by splitting up for certain (not even all) outings you can enjoy things your partner does not enjoy and give each other a break from parenting to maybe spend time with friends without always needing to have the kids around.
