The fact that “responsible gun enthusiasts” - especially the owners/managers of a gun shop who are supposed to be the goodest, most responsibleist, and most level-headed of all the gun tribe - enthusiastically market a weapon that’s just been instrumental in the deaths of 50 civilians in a non-combat zone reeaaallly…

And the NRA wins.

Gun of the week?????? WTF!!!! Its not a freaking sandwich

Haha. My trainer is always like “you can’t out exercise a bad diet” and I’m like WHY NOT.

So if you are straight and/or white, you aren’t allowed to acknowledge that people you know, who are not straight or white probably had other struggles? So now recognizing privelege is in fact a show of privelege?

Wait - WHAT????? They LIVED TOGETHER and Amy was referring to her as best bud - no really, the first season of writing for the show, a few of the writers lived together in an apartment. I feel like we could all google this. Sooo WTF - aslo, Tig in her comedy act has done a bit on people calling her “SIR” so yeah, I…

Are you dumb or just willfully obtuse?

The truth is the truth, regardless of who is saying it. You don’t have to be a member of any particular group to say something that is true. If people were only allowed to speak on behalf of those exactly like themselves, no one would ever be able to represent any group, ever.

The fact that being a woman hurts women dies not detract from the fact that not looking typically feminine also hurts women.

But, that is in fact masculine. Like, it says nothing about a person’s gender identity, but gender presentation is a spectrum from feminine to masculine, and denying that will not help those people who fall outside of what society would consider the “normal” way to present one’s gender.

The society in which we operate, which is heterosexist, allows for even well-intentioned banter to turn into insidious patronizing. I have friends who will say but as a so and so, I couldn’t possibly understand. That shit is hella patronizing to me because though I’m not a woman, I can bring myself to understand…

I mean, I may catch some flak for this, but: masculinity and femininity are social constructs, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. The entire basis of gender presentation revolves around the idea that there is, generally speaking, a spectrum of presentation ranging from “masculine” to “feminine”. Masculine is…

So what? Two people aren’t best friends. Do I have choose sides, boycott someone and wear a stupid t-shirt now? Stop asking women about their opinions about each other all the time. Ask about whatever book or movie their promoting instead of pitting them against each other

I read this as Amy Schumer admitting her own privilege as a cis, straight, traditionally presenting woman. Is anything she said untrue? I would think that for anyone who diverges from the norm of white, straight, cis, gender binary presenting, things would be more challenging. I think this even this attitude, if…

What if you don’t have to pick a side?

So it’s patronizing when Amy Schumer speaks on behalf of one lesbian, but not when you, who are not even female, speak on behalf of all lesbians and feminists? Fascinating.

It means having an appearance normally associated with men. C.f. feminine, having an appearance normally associated with women.

Too homo, obvs.

We can slice amys words to pieces, but we know what she meant, and I we all know that not performing for the male heterosexual eye probably does hurt female performers. It makes sense.

No! This sucks. I loved the first season, but I cannot stand Nicole Kidman. She lacks all of the authenticity and relatibility of Elizabeth Moss.
