...They’re really not. Spend more time studying sexism and how it operates, you’ll find that women are punished for the exact things that men are rewarded for. Your argument is repeatedly gender neutral, and while that it beautiful wishful thinking, it doesn’t reflect the patriarchal reality we’ve been living in for…

I agree, misinformation is really dangerous, like with the whole “vaccine” debate. I was listening to an autism expert on NPR talk about how many of the people who believe the eroneous claims that vaccines cause autism are actually very intelligent, well-informed people...most of the time, but they’ve been terribly…

I feel like you missed an essential point of my argument, maybe you’re still thinking of what the OP said, which is understandable. My point is slightly different. I compared it to the rigorous standards women are held to, and asked specifically:

“Calling racists racist isn’t cool” lol white people. “Being called racist is worse than racism itself”, seems legit!

Nope, nope, nope, when people act like dicks, I call them dicks. It’s called standing up for yourself/others, fuck respectability politics, I don’t accept abuse and oppression, I fight it. Also, no, that’s not what suicide nets mean...I’m done with your white nonsense.

I also want to point out, that I was on your fucking side. I’ve been informing people about Apple’s abusive practices for almost a decade, and I took the time to thoughtfully explain to you why using the word “slavery” to describe something that isn’t, is harmful and wrong. I assumed you were someone who cared about…

“False Comment?” WTF? You said slavery...you used that word. You said “Chinese SLAVERY”, which can only be used literally, because if you use it as a metaphor, you’re being demeaning, sometimes even cruel, for all the reasons I already described, and if you use it literally, and incorrectly, that’s exactly the same.…

...literal slavery?

That’s fair, but your response:

Women rape men more? WHAT THE FUCK?! I know a handful of men who have been raped, one by a woman his age, one by a female teacher when he was in high school (he was in love with her and she was a predator, all the bullshit about: it’s not the same for guys/girls is exactly that: bullshit. he was traumatized by the…

Is this a joke? Men of all ages, shapes, sizes, and appearances (unless they’re black, of course) dominate television and film, and how much they match conventional ideals doesn’t prevent them from finding work or getting lead roles, nor “romantic” roles opposite women considered “babes” or “bombshells”. Seriously.…

“Lord Snark” seems like an obvious last name for your kid. How is this a question?

That’s because you’re forgetting that she’s a woman, and back then, even more so than now, she would have been held to higher standards. “Twice as good” and all that.

The thing I hate about that scene is I WISH that was an acceptable response in the real world. Like: Hell yeah, fuck him! But really, she’d be charged with assault, isolated, harassed, and punished, possibly fired or put on unpaid suspension, for being an “uppity bitch who can’t take a compliment.”

Aggghhhhh. We need more representation on TV and in the media generally, women, people of color, disabilities, elderly, but goddamn Supergirl looks boring. I feel like as a geek/feminist I’m supposed to be excited, but the commercials make it look like a basic white girl who doesn’t recognize her privilege...and we…

People will grab my curls and start bouncing and boinging them without permission. I get that curls are super fun, I do, but they will yank and just the act of entitlement to my body ain’t right.

Yeah, I knew what you meant: wasn’t trying to call you out personally, sorry if it came out that way. I was trying to spread awareness by challenging his “zany” reputation in the media versus the reality of his violence against women.

They could be polyamorous! But I really don’t want Bill Murray dating anyone anyway, after what he did to his ex-wife and kids.

Nailed it.

ARE YOU SURE THAT SHE IS 39 AND A HALF? THE .5 MATTERS!
