That letter of resignation is garbage, written by a garbage human. I hope to god the entire Board of Trustees is forced out, and the lawsuits number in the hundreds.

THIS. The whole “men are not mind readers” is a cop out. If she’s pushing one’s hand away, or pulling her hand away from one’s crotch, or trying to walk away from one sticking one’s fingers down her throat, that’s not a signal for one to try “seduce” her harder.

WORD. This story is getting a fraction of the coverage of the Penn State scandal. I can’t help but assume it’s because the victims are girls instead of boys.

I don’t even consider 2nd wave feminists actual feminists, not only for the white feminism they espouse, but the idea that women should just “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps” and “stop being victims” while failing to acknowledge all the cultural and systemic barriers holding us back.

But why can’t the conversation also be about maybe men taking a woman’s “no” at face value instead of treating it as a sign to try 20 other ways to seduce/pressure/cajole her into things she doesn’t want to do? Jesus Fuck, I am TIRED of focusing on what women do wrong in these situations. Yes, women should be

Excellent points.

Matt. Fucking. Lauer. So everyone remember how he tanked Ann Curry’s career, even though all the network research showed that audiences liked him less than her? Everyone remember his interview with Ann Hathaway, where he called attention to her wardrobe malfunction? Everyone remember his interview of Christie

I hated this movie so very much and Lindy West speaks for me.

Yeah, I would have pulled over and burned my car into a steel husk. NOPE.

For somebody who claims the feminist mantle as hard as Lena Dunham, she has a pretty bad habit of acting like a bumbling man who just got caught doing something sexist and stupid. The bumbler isn’t really that stupid, he’s just pretending to be dumb to avoid taking responsibility for actually being a sexist dick.

With all of the absolute bullshit women deal with—physically, mentally, and emotionally, just BECAUSE we are women—AND ON A DAILY FUCKING BASIS—it’s a fucking miracle that on average, our lifespans exceed that of men. Who’s the weaker sex, again?

Breaking of ribs is basically unavoidable during CPR. And really, I’d rather break some ribs on a person and save their life than fret about that and let them die. Just saying.

Again, if you start with the premise that women are HUMAN BEINGS, and not a collection of body parts quivering with desire to fuck your brains out or, conversely, body parts aching for the chance to cut your dick off, maybe that would obviate the need for you to install a body camera on your person.

“I didn’t really see the problem here. He asked. She said no. He took no for an answer. I wouldn’t ask that but I also wouldn’t have thought it constituted harassment.”

I’m a middle aged white woman. This “presidency” has wrung me right the fuck out.

My issue with Bernie is that he can’t seem to fully bust out of his white male privilege. He campaigns with anti-choice Democrats and declares women’s most basic rights to be a negotiating point on the one hand, while railing against income inequality. He declares Democrats focus too much on identity politics. Which

What the actual fuck is wrong with you, seriously?

I am so sorry that happened to you.

Russia didn’t fuck with the scores in the Super Bowl, so there’s that.

Also a Pats fan. These snowflakes need to get a fucking grip. ALL fans of all teams who are crying about players taking a knee need to get a fucking grip. This is not about the damn anthem. It’s a three minute silent protest about racial injustice. If these fans can’t stand to be uncomfortable for three minutes, I
