Nope to all these pieces today (at this family of sites and others) fawning over her for saying the bare minimum truths that progressives share in meme form on FB. Not to mention that the majority of her “points” have already been made by the top two progressives on the stage (barring the reparations commentary).

Excuse me, excuse me, minor correction: Free abortion on demand without apology. Almost forgot about that part.

All he’s doing is moving the grift to a new crowd. Don’t ever be fooled by these types. Leave them to rot. 

Yeah, it’s a crime the pain he caused, but he was a 21 year old indoctrinated into a belief system, writing about something he probably had almost no experience with.

It’s a little different when you preach horrible shit and get paid to do so. At least he apologized. 

I feel like the underrepresentation of women in sexual abuse statistics is, itself, a manifestation of sexism. Women can’t be perceived as sexual abusers in a patriarchal system because sex with them is seen as a commodity to be obtained—if you’re male and you don’t want sex with a woman, that’s seen as a defect to be…

While I see what you’re saying, this is far too good of an opportunity to pass up. I think it’s actually showing that “excellence” is a myth, because even AFTER achieving so much, they are STILL refused pay. If anything, using this as an example quells the stupid idea that somehow it’s all a meritocracy and women just…

I think part of the problem is that the entrenched civil rights organizations may be a little too close to corporate America. You're not going to get donations approaching the problem the way Black Lives Matter does. That's unfortunate because I think it's obvious that coddling white people isn't getting us anywhere. 

This. Yeah, I’m gonna play “I told you so” too. Hillary may not have checked all the boxes as far as the environment, etc., whatever, but there was no way the gains that have been made in the past few decades were going to be wiped the fuck out they way they have been by Trump and his gang of shits. Instead of…

Given that SCOTUS just overruled Nevada v. Hall — sans precedent, sans any Constitutional citation — it looks less like a chance and more like an inevitability. Even given a massive blue wave in 2020, the infrastructure is already set, the guillotine is already in place.

This technically makes most forms of birth control illegal as well.

I would love for all the Bernie supporters to come and tell us again about how Hillary is just as bad as Trump. If the challenges to any of these new laws end up in the Supreme Court, given 

Every time there was another loss for internet privacy and civil liberties in general (cough Patriot Act & RIPA in the UK) and someone said “if you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear”, I thought of Anne Frank.

This is not unbelievable in the slightest. We inch further toward it all the time. That’s what made The Handmaid’s Tale so damn scary, was that it didn’t even feel like that much of a fantasy world. It felt very plausible. 

I really want to print this article out, laminate it, glue it to a baseball bat, and show it repeatedly and forcefully to all the guys in the kink community who say, “Well, if her consent was violated, she should just go to the police. It’s not our job to enforce that kind of stuff.” The justice system is not equipped…

Meanwhile in Texas, a lady gets sentenced to 5 years for accidentally voting when she wasn’t supposed to?

Yes, this.

It’ll be fun hearing their excuses after he (inevitably) does something similar again, and gets arrested again. I’m sure they’ll claim they had no idea that he might reoffend.

What the fickity fuckety FUCK, MAN.

And they try to say men don't hate us. And they try to say we have equality now.
