Is it really true, though? Clint was a young man when the civil rights movement was in full swing. And still wasn't particularly old when gay activism really came into its own. I don't think I buy this notion that the world of today is alien to him. Progress has been happening for a long time, and not just on the…

Well, I’m assuming your SO loves this stuff because they grew up with it, but apparently still turned out feminist! It would be good to talk to them about how they took these movies when they were a kid. But I see no reason to explain those concepts to a 6 year old with those movies - Pocahontas and John Smith are…

I totally understand why you feel this way, and more power to you! But it seems like despite your own love of Little Mermaid, you turned out to be a self aware, intelligent person - me, I loved Disney growing up, loved all the princess stuff, but I was a feminist from a very young age, because that’s what was modeled…

“Can” and “want” are different. Point stands that in the US alone, we have plenty of cities that have the infrastructure and facilities to put on an Olympics right now.

Same :(((

For what it’s worth, she wasn’t dating Jeffree Star; he’s gay, and they were friends through makeup stuff.

Oh, you haven't used this account in a while!

I was just answering your “who thinks of this as deviant behavior”- in no way an assumption of your own deal

Is that what you think of bi women generally? We’re all just trying to get dudes to notice us? I’m pretty sure naming your sexuality, and acknowledging legitimate attraction to women is the *exact opposite* of just catering to the male gaze.

I think bisexuality is given negative connotations by gay and straight people, in that partners seem to worry they won’t be “enough” - there’s a greater assumption that bi people will cheat. I don’t know if “deviant” is necessarily the word I’d associate with bi stereotypes, but there’s definitely a sense that bi…

I get that. I still think murdering a person with your bare hands is orders of magnitude different than lobbying for damaging and bigoted legislation. Honor killing is a specific phenomena and I see no reason to conflate it with anything just to prove a point. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with acknowledging…

Look, I don’t think Christianity is any better or safer for women, but that is conflating a lot of different kinds of misogyny and violence. I don’t think there’s any reason to act like being anti-choice or anti-gay is the same as literally strangling or beating someone to death.

It’s been a real thing for at least the last few years. People make thousands of dollars with youtube channels and other platforms. Hardly the most important take away of this piece.

As I responded to another commenter, I don’t presume to speak for anyone else- my personal views are consistent, and I’m not a fan of Tilda Swinton for that very reason.

Oh my god, sorry I wasn’t up at midnight giving you citations! What is your problem? It would apply under 212(h) or (i), it’s in the fucking statute book.

Um, it's a legitimate waiver under the INA, feel free to look it up!

He could get a hardship waiver, I think. Hardship waivers aren’t for the one getting deported, it’s from the perspective of their family; he has young kids and a US citizen wife, and a good attorney should be able to prove that depriving his family of his support would be an undue burden, and that moving them all to…

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but my personal position is ideologically consistent - I don’t reserve my distaste for Portman alone. Plus, it honestly feels kind of *weird* to make this about sexism when we’re talking about rape apologism. Yeah, it’s shitty that men don’t get called out as much for their…

Well yeah, but there’s a reason they bite to begin with, right? They’re not so good at discerning by sight, which is why I drew the comparison.

Meh, gators don’t know the difference. Prey is prey. That’s why feeding sharks is dangerous too.
