Umm..no men cannot be Feminists. In fact any man who understands Feminism would know how offensive it is to claim to be one.

100% the advice I give any guy who asks me how they can be an ally. Your fellow bros are the ones who need talking to, not women. Be an ally where we are unable to go; don’t perform allyship in front of other women.

Sorry but no.

That’s such a good point—by focusing on the most egregious examples, they deny responsibility for the more common everyday rapes, then go over salacious details again and again. I’m a researcher and have a colleague who just can’t get enough of the details of sex trafficking cases—to the point where I’ve organized the…

Oh yeah, I love men who quote feminism to me. I can’t count the number of times a man has started a sentence about women with “Well actually,” “To play devil’s advocate,” or “See, the thing is...”

Yep. I’ve worked with NGOs and now am a journalist, and it never ceases to amaze me the lengths men will go to to deny rape exists outside of war or trafficking situations or that yours was not “that bad.” It’s why men always want all the details of a rape - so they can see how much of it may have been your fault…

And interrupting you to mansplain it to you. While waxing rhapsodic about their stay at home wife who doesn’t “sub-contract out our childrearing.” Your anecdata checks out.

What is that quote? “We don’t need men in feminist spaces, we need men to take male spaces and make them feminist.”

It sure is.

Critical thinking, it’s what’s for dinner.

I don’t think it’s trolling to react to this — it’s odious. Not only is it incredibly disrespectful to the women who make up the vast majority of the volunteers for the Democratic Party, it’s incredibly disrespectful to women in general, and a big ‘ol insult to his former running mate as well.

You think I’m going only by these three people and this one incident?

He’s one of my senators. I’ve already emailed and tweeted him, so I’m sure the form email I get back in a month will address my concerns. /s

“On Tuesday, Senator Tim Kaine was one of three Democrats who voted to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit. Barrett’s nomination was opposed by 17 women’s groups who urged the Senate not to confirm the anti-abortion law professor who once described Obamacare’s birth control mandate…

And suddenly, 7th grade boys, frat bros, MRA’s, and major Hollywood players quietly chuckled, as the psychic connection between all douchey types is strong and vibrant, and when one makes a shitty joke, the rest will respond accordingly.

It’s really weird to see “identity politics” and “intersectionality,” two terms derived from and key to understanding black Marxist feminism, both consistently misused. White brocialists have a horrible tendency towards class reductionism that elides the key roles of race, gender, and sexuality in understanding…

You’re kidding right? The Democratic party has been shifting leftward for a long time, just nowhere near as extremely as the republicans have been shifting rightward. Look at all the shit Clinton had to apologize for in the campaign because what used to be perfectly valid Democratic positions in the 1990s are now…

My point is that blindly supporting candidates just because they have a “D” next to their name, and blindly supporting the party because it’s “The Democrats” is foolish. Bernie is a democratic socialist, and DemSoc values are more traditionally democratic than the centrist/neoliberal garbage the Democratic party has…

didn’t he do well with nonwhite voters? as an AA woman, i personally do not gaf about “identity politics” if that means relentless pandering and naming off various identity groups. I care more about issues, which sometimes are race-specific, but not necessarily so, and even then, not to the exclusion of my white…

Leave us out of your white nonsense. Neither candidate gave a shit about people of color.
