Oh please, “faggot” is used against gay and bisexual men only*. A bisexual woman has no fucking right to reclaim a word that is not hers. I’d say the same about “queer” - which is essentially “faggot lite”, but I suppose we can let that one slide.

Certainly not as bad as Paula Deen - but you’re dead wrong if you think that what she is saying is not oppressive towards gay and bisexual men. Just because one’s LGBT, does not mean that one cannot harm members outside of their own respective letter. Hell, there are plenty of homophobic gay men for example, so it’s…

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Is the F-word used against bisexual men? Absolutely. Do they get to say it should they choose so? Yes. Is the F-word used against bisexual women? Oh hell no. Banks does not own get to own the word as a bisexual woman. Hell, I’ll go out on a limb and say that only gay men, bisexual men and trans people (because their ot…

“Pretty, pretty - shiny, shiny!” :D

Or God forbid, both!

Sweet baby Jesus, what the fuck is up with those pants? Having so many pleats should be a crime. Oh, and let’s not forget about those shoes. Yikes...

I never said that all oppressive societies are the same. But yeah, keep telling yourself that I am the problem here - not the ignorant westerner who finds interest in inspecting the shackles of others.

You could just admit that your statement was tone-deaf and ignorant, but why do that when you can just shift the blame back to me for “not understanding you”?

Western women have the right to travel to another country without the permission of their husbands. Women in Iran apparently do not have that right. The law is crystal clear, there is not an ounce of nuance there.

Someone from the (relatively) privileged West looks at the horrible way that other people (women in this particular case) are treated in other less fortunate parts of the world and is “fascinated” by their oppression. Is “interest” the first word that comes to your mind?

I don’t think that the fact that women live in such an oppressive country is fascinating.

Thank you for bending over backwards and jumping through hoops to deny that problems which affect men are sexism.

I get what you’re saying and you’re partially right, but at the same time, it doesn’t have to mean that a woman is or feels infantilized because of said behaviour. A lot of women actually enjoy it, and many of them have commented on this article.

I never said that men who uphold patriarchal beliefs are not responsible. I cannot stand their guts and hate them probably more than you do. I never said that women are responsible. The only women that are responsible are those that uphold patriarchal beliefs. You can discriminate against people of your own fucking…

For the love of whatever higher power exists (and none probably does) - I am not blaming women. I am not blaming feminists. I am not blaming anyone. This is NOT about blame. When I say that men can be victims of sexism, I am not saying that they are victims of women. Men can be sexist against men. Men can be sexist…

You’re doing everything you can to continue to blame men for the injustices they face. Do you also blame rape victims for their rape? Dressed too slutty? Had a few drinks? Flirted with the rapist?

Fuck. You. Fuck you for blaming men for the injustices that they face. Fuck you for being blind to struggles that do not concern you. Fuck you for denying women their agency and holding them as accountable as you would a small child.

Fathers *and* mothers make their little boys endure circumcision. Male *and* female doctors perform circumcisions. If you cannot get that through your thick skull...

Oh my god, you’re more delusional than I thought...
