he’s busy being a woke bae

I didn’t say you weren’t taking it seriously. I simply said I didn’t want to engage with you on the matter (I saw your comments elsewhere and have determined you are an anti-choice troll). Those aren’t the same thing. You said I wasn’t taking it seriously, which you based on my statement that I didn’t want to argue…

Not a linguists’ take (and written in mostly yelly caps), but this piece resonated with me as far as how Hillary is viewed and discussed:

Not only unnecessarily violent and sexual, but infantilizing at the same time! Pretty much sums up the GOP’s view of women, though.

Yes. Although those words have not been used. But I can not get even a little give on the fact that her experience in life is different in any way that the men she’s running against. A lot of Bernie bros are very adamant that Hillary is a manipulative shrewd fickle power hungry politician. There is no getting through…

The GOP focus groups tested the verbs“whip”, “slap”, “prod”, “beat”, “bang”, “pinch”, and “really get to know”

Yep, not just sexual, also infantilizing. Patriarchy’s gonna paternalize!

“But Bruce Springsteen hasn’t returned any of my calls”

It’s almost like they should not use violent language in a campaign!!

“Not only will I beat/spank her....I’ll subpoena her...hell, I’ll even close down the bridges if I have - oh crap. Forget that last part. Hey did I tell you that Bon Jovi texted me yesterday??”

TL:DR: STOP THREATENING MY MASCULINITY I HAVE A PENIS AND EVERYTHING.

I feel like they want to say, “I’m going to kick her ass” but that’s shades of domestic violence, so they sanitize it by saying they’ll spank her, which takes on a sexual connotation!

I made a whole response but I don’t feel like engaging with an anti-choice nitwit. Good day.

Do you live in the US? Have you watched state legislatures chip away at abortion rights by closing dozens of clinics? Are you aware of the mandatory waiting periods, parental consent, etc. that disenfranchise women who might otherwise have access to abortions? Because there is a raging abortion abolitionist movement…

Yep. True fact: Rick Santorum’s wife technically had an abortion. They discovered life-threatening abnormalities that made the pregnancy unsafe, and thus induced labor before viability and she gave birth to a fetus that died shortly after. Their version is that she had a premature baby who died—but the fact of the…

It was my Fantasy Basketball Team name for about 4 years.

Why aren’t more people concerned about child molestation? Animal abuse? Starvation? Cancer? Anti-vaxxers? Nuclear bombs? 500 Days of Kristin?

Yep- this is exactly what my bf said last night. She was very uncomfortable in a very-uncomfortable-by-nature situation, which makes her a human. A beautiful, smart, genuine human who served our country and is a veteran at the age of 24. She will end up with someone with way more to offer her than 48 conversations…

This might just be projecting, since these shows are so heavily edited, but I got the sense that Ben really, REALLY likes Lauren B. He also seems to need a lot of reassurance and validation, and he doesn’t want to feel hesitation from his dates. (When the other girls were praising his handling of various situations,…

They’ve found our secret weakness: snow. It causes shrinkage preventing us from parading our huge peens around acting like we own the world.
