I dunno, most mainstream news sites have been pretty quick to blame the shooting on mental illness, not racism

Yeah, well, as it stands, that hasn’t really been a staggering success...

ETA: Nevermind

I grew up in a region that had a high concentration of hate group activity. More than a few of my teachers were rumored to be in the KKK. The things they taught me that my parents had to unteach me did not conflict with those rumors.

Well first: How does “maybe segregation was onto something” and “I’m not racist” share room in the same brain?

Hey now! That hurts my feelings. Which is the literal definition of racism

Interview? They’ll probably give her her own show

Oh ok then. Nothing to see here. Lets all head back to our side of town and get back to hurting each other

Well it is ok if the idiots pushing people are white, then it is just good clean fun. When it is black people pushing others, that’s a race riot.

No it isn’t . Free speech doesn’t apply when straight cis white people are criticized.

Hey now! She’s an American elementary school teacher. We can’t expect her to know any basic history

Yeah, I mean I never got alcohol posioning or anything like that, although my boarding school educated sister did.

how much do you want to bet that this will devolve into telling girls to dress modestly, practice abstinence and stay sober within the next 3 years?

What’s wrong with being a prostitute?

Yeah, looks totally different from the original Weirdworld, which was gorgeous but not really Conan esque at all. More of a trippy Tolkein kind of feel

haven’t heard the song, is it what I think it is?

should read “it isn’t really that complicated”

It is really that complicated. Gender is largely a socially constructed thing, and we’ve actually known that for a long time (Greek myths about Amazons, for example, are predicated on the idea that a society can exist where gender roles are different from those in Greece). Ms. Burkett is absolutely right about that…

Yeah, she was a little over the top and out of control, but I think she felt like I had really betrayed her and was really emotional. Like she had confided in me that she was worried about her son, and that I responded by seducing him. We ended up laughing about it more than a few times in the last couple months I…
