I think, oddly, that looking at men can be helpful in understanding the schism between transgender women and cis-women. I’m a gay, black man. My struggle is different from that of a straight black man...and that of a gay white man. Thus, I consider myself having certain similarities with all men, no matter the

I’m reading “We should all be feminists” She said this:

I think the poster you replied to raises a good point though—how do we define “man” and “woman?” If gender is a social construct, as opposed to a biological dichotomy, and we don’t have “men’s brains” and “women’s brains,” and “performance” is an aspect of gender, and it’s not about shared experiences, and it’s not

I totally agree with you and, as a black woman, found the “...and Patrick” bit laugh out loud hilarious, not racist. Their names couldn’t be more different! That’s why it was funny. Also, the “that’s a name” was, in my interpretation, a dig at how plain *his* name was next to hers. Not that it was somehow better.

The job of Oscar host is always a thankless one. Every year, it seems like the host receives a barrage of criticism and judgment. It’s like no one is good enough. The only recent host I can think of who emerged relatively unscathed was Ellen a few years ago and even she had complaints that she was “bland” or “played

Team Santana. Truth hurts. Deal.

Over the weekend, Amma Asante—the director, who’s behind another film about interracial love, Belle

Clooney said for years that he would never marry again, and that he would definitely not have kids.

Beyonce’s having twins?!? Has anyone made a “Not the first time she’s totally carried two other people” joke yet?

If Beyonce wasn’t famous, she’d be that mega annoying PTA mom on Fb who pays for professional photo shoots for her kids’ 1st day of nursery school.

Does anyone else take a periodic break from the news? I don’t want to bury my head in the sand, but each one of these stories (ranging from him being an insensitive moron to committing absolute atrocities) makes my brain hurt more and more. How did this ever happen? How did 63 million people vote for this 70 year old

Now, her fans need to support her. She heard them, now they can buy a concert ticket or stream a song instead of just singing “And I Am Telling You” at karaoke.

“I will never understand a person who voted for Trump. But maybe that’s why we lost.”

You need to stop being tired of it. Democrats used to be the party of the working class- all the working class, white and minority. And at some point we lost the white working class vote. And this election cycle that demographic cost the election (and stupid fucking white women which I am one and I genuinely don’t

I didn’t see it as disappointing. I’m glad the writers seemed to get a bit outside of themselves.

No. That’s not what it means. It simply means a celebrity that only black people know.

{sigh} No. Not maddeningly Journey. Yes, it is super fun to make fun of how cheesy they are. However, they did not spawn into existence when the song “Faithfully” came out. They have a massive career that occurred before that and their music was very well written and as musicians they were extremely talented.

Wait, when did this kind of behavior become cute and delightful? Because nah, this shit isn’t cute and delightful. It doesn’t matter who does it - it’s childish.

Goddamnit. I seriously can’t remember a day in the last month where I haven’t hated humanity at least once.

Not to be a jerk, but why does he suck? Yes, he bangs models. All the models. And his nonprofit may have slipped into some shady business in the last few years. But he’s passionate about saving the world and does good movies. He also loves his mom, doesn’t that count for something?
