Don’t make her a victim just because she’s a white woman. She got privilege, access, and was championed as a genius b/c she’s a white, privileged woman. White feminists like to act like women who do fucked up stuff are always being manipulate by men. Have you read her bio. Do you realize why she had access to the…

Yes..I experience that. Something can go from tight to slipping off my finger depending on the temperature.

Hubris

They also refuse to act like privileged, powerful, white women cannot be fully racist or xenophobic because they choose to be, and instead are forced to be by the men. White privilege makes these women ahead of everyone else in society except white men, and they actually have a lot of power and are doing what they…

I’m annoyed by the extremely facile (but so predictably white feminist) response to this woman standing for PM. It would have taken about 10 minutes of Googling to see she’s pretty much as bad as the alternatives, and wearing a skirt does not in fact make her morally superior or some kind of win. It’s like when they…

There is a HUGE racial component to who winds up being able to live here. HUGE. The fact that most tech companies are allergic to hiring POC has a huge impact on what this area looks like.

People who don’t make 200k a year have to deal with horrific, soul crushing commutes that mean they get to work exhausted everyday. That’s what is happening.

Santana Row is a pox upon humanity.

I’m waiting for this area to collapse b/c at some point everyone who isn’t a tech bro is going to have to move 2-3 hours away.

Supply doesn’t help. They build everything as if everyone can afford to pay 3500-4000/month for a 2 bedroom apartment.

Don’t forget racist. I get annoyed by how their racism gets ignored b/c they hire Asians or something.

You are conveniently ignoring that a lot of people can’t afford the downpayment on a house, do not make enough money to qualify for that conveniently low rate that Zillow uses in their “estimate”, that a lot of these houses would require another investment of about 200k, and that houses listed at 700k in San Jose go…

This is such a lie. I live in San Jose and they have built hundreds of new apartments in my part of town. In 6 years, the price of all of the apartments has DOUBLED. The more they build, the smaller the units get and the more they charge.

Meh, I live in San Jose. It’s so liberal but the tech companies do not like hiring black and brown people. My definition of liberal isn’t the same as this person’s. Racism is definitely a problem. It’s just that the people here can’t bother to care.

people who don’t use banks. It’s a thing. Not everyone functions in the same way in this world. It’s a cultural thing for them not to use banks and only deal with cash.

The Chinese have a very high savings rate. That is something that recent immigrants bring to this country. But being frugal and saving most of what you earn is being frugal. You are assuming they made money playing the stock market or maybe day trading. My friends who are only grandchildren get a lot of money from…

I love the people who literally just post a picture of a newborn all stealth, like where did that come from. That’s how I interpret people who don’t perform pregnancy. Her friends didn’t have to hear how we are pregnant...they didn’t get stupid pictures announcing it. There were no odd pictures of the pregnant belly...

No, she’s also talking about how much people play into it themselves. It’s not about just what other people do but so much of the nonsense ppl share on social media. I knew someone who did an odd, semi-erotic photo shoot that was posted all over social media. Yeah, definitely performing.

She didn’t say that. I’d imagine a lot of the stuff people do on social media...sharing ultrasounds, talking about baby bumps, taking stupid pictures of said baby bump, etc. Yeah, there is a lot of performance that people put into the whole process of having a baby.

Give them a break. It’s got to be hard learning to move plastic lips that you just bought. I’m sure it’s like getting a new motorcycle or something. You probably crash it way more than you get it right.
