Really? You think that a female celebrity who is asked about feminism just because she's a woman, is uninterested in the question and repeatedly tries to change it to something she is interested in, should be giving a speech on how grateful she is for the women who came before her? If a man had been asked, "are you a…

Well, perhaps, instead of finding reasons that women are being "callus dumbshits" and acting like your leading questions make you seem deep instead of self-important, you should work on making feminism better. I know that making a social movement is harder than calling women names, but give it a shot.

Thanks. I looked at the rest of the conversation. It sucks that there is no place where people can genuinely inquire about our differences without getting all testy. I've been cat-called, beat, kicked, punched, raped, and slapped around most of my life for various reasons. I've never had anything to hang that on.…

I'm black and I find uproar over someone using the word nigger quite boring myself, considering that policing someone's words veers dangerously close to thought crime, and there are better ways of combating racism than vain attempts to eradicate the use of a word.

I actually gained more respect for her after reading this.

Can I recommend your comment infinity times? More people need to read it and think for a second that "Maybe when I think about other people I'm actually thinking that they should be just like me."

Gender equality just isn't everyone's passion, and y'all are gonna have to learn to make your peace with that instead of picking on people for it. It's fine, really! I bet many of you are just bored to tears by environmental activism, or by trying to find a cure for cancer, or economic justice, or whatever other…

I never would have noticed he was staring at her ass if it hadn't been pointed out - I was too busy looking at her ass to even notice there was a dude in the photo.

it's a shame her escort ruined it by making sure everyone knew he was staring right at her ass. COME ON DUDE.

Once, the KKK stopped the Church for protesting a soldier's funeral, because we live in a weird fucking country.

"Good on 2 Million Bikers for meeting bare minimum standards of human decency, I guess."

Agreed. People are flipping like this is an unreasonable burden that we only place on the young, but we're not all bloggers here. Adults are generally required to meet dress codes in their offices, and usually those end up unfair towards men, but you don't see grown ups crying to the media about it. This is just…

Sorry — if you can't do it in the workplace, you shouldn't be able to get away with it in school. What are you going to do when you get a job and it's hot outside — complain to HR that the company's dress code is too conservative? The school had rules, the kids should abide by them. Yeah, teach the boys to respect…

I still disagree because I think all essentialism is harmful, but your point is correct. My point wasn't to toss out all power imbalances, but it's irritating to see entire groups get painted with broad brushes regardless. I don't say this as a poor-little-me guy, but as someone who sees the same logic that the OP…

This post had me all the way until the line "I'm furious that girls get shot in the head or kidnapped for simply daring to go to school." The error was somewhat rescued by the next line about the differences between feminists of other races and the tendency of the author to retreat to privilege by flattening the…

Until this "us vs them" crap stops it won't change, and "all women" are on both sides of this.

See, I knew I wasn't crazy for being scared of that one minority group! It only takes one, right?

Disney is not an organization for social justice, feminism or the correction of historical wrongs; it is a corporation with a mandate to make money. While there is female geek culture, males place an overwhelming demand on such products. Therefore it stands to reason that males should control the availability of…
