i am against the widespread individual and systemic racism and sexism that permeates our society. i fight it on a personal level (voting, donating money to causes like the aclu/splc/350/rainn, protesting) and on a professional level working in the public health sphere for a nonprofit. telling you on the internet that…

Well being non US-ian I’m not up to speed on what this weeks PC correct term might be, so I just tried my best to be as inoffensive as I could.

“White Americans are fucking up and you are a fuckup for defending it.”

“Don’t go letting us white folks off that easy.”

Aye. Percentages give people a lot of false senses. And the left is the absolute worst about extrapolating anything good as fantastic, and anything bad as cataclysmic. Milkshake duck is a very liberal phenomenon.

I’m glad you linked to that. The problem with that article is that it uses the words,

Awarding responsibility for political victories based on zero-sum analysis of demographic voter data is one of the stupidest, most obnoxious ways we handle electoral postmortems now. It’s not bad to see people given credit for good shit. Whatever, that’s fine. What’s shitty is that this is the same impulse that…

Bingo. The patriarchy isn’t just an external force keeping people down, it’s also internal. Plenty of people internalize it and view it as the way things should be. I’ve known women who were cheated on who blame themselves. They view men as  being unable to resist urges and they feel they didn’t do enough to keep…

Because they live in Alabama with their white husbands.

I think just about every woman I saw/heard questioned in AL about a vote for Moore was about abortion.

Women are mostly raised to hate themselves, I can’t imagine to what degree in Alabama.

I think it was the poor horsemanship he displayed yesterday that pushed him over the edge. You can be racist as fuck and wave your pud at little girls, but if you ride a horse like a fuckin’ yankee, you’re motherfucking toast, Bub.

Don’t bother. Young white liberals absolutely LOVE suffering white guilt. Just let them be miserable and do the reasonable thing: take emotional responsibility for YOUR actions.

I didn’t say things were equal. A majority of black votes did not go for Roy Moore. The black Alabamian electorate is CLEARLY better than the white.

Being a woman among conservative men means you have to be anti-woman as a survival skill. The racism and all else is a factor, but ultimately you cannot fit in with conservative men (and many liberal ones) without supporting their power over women.

The issue is the southern evangelical crowd holds their personal flavor of Bible interpretation on such a freaking pedestal that nearly nothing else registers on their radar. Moore could do literally anything he wanted, because as long as they think he’ll try to ban abortions and gays they don’t see a choice.

A majority of black people were so okay with the possibility of a racist, pedophile, lgbtq hating psychopath, they didn’t even get off their ass to prevent that.

I don’t like defending white people, but a majority of white people did not vote for Roy Moore.

We need to disburse with this idea that “poly” is rule-based membership in a social group, and the implied idea that it is something that has to be earned. Poly is a characteristic of the person, same as being non-monogamous or monogamous. If someone states they are poly, then they are poly. They don’t have to get the…

I just want to say that I am poly by nature, but in a monogamous relationship because that’s what my other is comfortable with and I’m okay with it. If I can be a poly person in a mono relationship, I don’t see why Nola can’t be a poly person currently in non-monogamous relationships. The relationships don’t define…
