and the fact is we still feel like we HAVE TO ADD “was she perfect?” which, whatever, i’m fucking sick of saying no she wasn’t perfect. nobody prefaces comments about bernie fucking sanders with “was he perfect?” even though it is self evident that nobody is perfect.

i refuse to have to bow down to the anger of fake…

No, worries, mademoiselle, the oldest hipster in Brooklyn is on the case.

I WAS FUCKING EXCITED!!!

Ditto.

It could’ve been you, Hill. I will never stop being sad.

From Michelle Goldberg’s Slate piece about the book:

Women Who Work defines working women as, well, every woman with a disposable income: stay-at-home moms, single women in the boardroom, mothers with full-time jobs, and entrepreneurs like herself.

I know how the second season will go. It will follow the women sent to the “Colonies” to clean up the radioactive waste. Some of them haven’t died — they’ve gained mutant powers. They’ll band together and fight the patriarchy as a troop of superheroines. Joss Whedon will direct.

Re: Susan: www dot ughhhhhh ugh ugh dot com forward slash shut up shut up.

This is literally what I just said above:

As someone who enjoys reading Zukkas thoughts, I guess we will have to agree to disagree here, I am hearing her opinion on “being away from her cell phone” as a completely separate opinion from her experience of“being at Rikers”, even though they were obviously happening simultaneously.

Because racism and misogyny never existed before capitalism itself came into existence, and haven’t existed in self-identified socialist/communist societies? Remember how the Soviet Union used to insist that environmental damage was impossible under socialism? That’s what you sound like.

Saying he doesn’t belong to a party or maybe like socialism is not remotely close to being an “avowed Socialist”. Since he literally says he doesn’t belong to a party, it’s the exact opposite of being avowed. Words have meanings (except “neo-liberal” which is a meaningless term brocialists use to let us know they are…

Oh, stop. She didn’t “pull shit” with a private school. The school she sends her kids to - the one she and her husband bought their home to be close to - is relocating. It isn’t out of the ordinary for parents to be pissed off about something like that.

What exactly was Jon Stewart further to the left on than Sam Bee? I’m wary of anyone who goes around praising liberal men while calling liberal women “neo-liberals” and claims that they don’t deserve to be leaders of the movement, especially women like Sam who speak openly, frankly, and in great depth about misogyny,…

It’s definitely worthy of an eye-roll, but I see this situation posted in every single article about Sam Bee as though the commentor has uncovered a secret membership in the KKK and not that she and her husband are both well-off and have rich people problems. Why this should make me feel guilty about admiring her or…

Even reading their specific examples, this feels like a huge stretch.

I’m not trying to start anything, but is that joke so vile, really? She isn’t saying that being in Rikers is a vacation-not at all. She’s just saying her phone was taken from her and being unplugged for 8 hours was good for her (unless I missed some of the text, which is possible). Is it in questionable taste due to…

Those comparisons are super stretched. She mentioned the inauguration, we mentioned the inauguration! That can’t be a coincidence! She made a joke about Anthony Weiner and North Korea, we made completely separate and unrelated jokes about North Korea and Anthony Weiner! Are we really supposed to believe that two…

Taken out of context. She’s talking about how she couldn’t have her phone with her there and couldn’t obsess about the news. It’s really not that bad.
