Man, I hate that there’s always someone who’s like “Not everything is about feminism” “Why do you need to question everything” about everything. Well, I don’t like to just take everything as is. I like to question things and, you know, think.

To be fair, I do think that everything CAN be a feminist issue and can have surprising patriarchal roots.

You know Ioften hear women saying the time they spent enjoying with other women was the best time of their lives. Makes me think the whole attaching yourself to a male and putting him first for the rest of your life, the whole nuclear family concept is really leading to unhappiness or women. Im sure in tribal…

Anybody who identifies with Ms LeClair and not with this poster:

I’m sorry, but your unwillingness to unpack the bachlorette party is problematic

Honey, it’s okay that thinking about things makes you mad and inspires a tantrum about how you just want to have fun without having to ever think about any of it. Some of us actually like thinking, though, and talking about things like why these social rituals exist and what it means for a woman to cut loose in…

Okay, so you had a super fun bachelorette party and that is really wonderful for you. Honestly, I’m happy for you, that’s really awesome that you got to enjoy your day. But here’s the thing, not everyone likes the same things. I’ve been to bachelorette parties that have been completely ridiculous and over the top, and…

Hahahahahahahaha I love this description, it’s so apt. “This plan seems Fun so we have to stick to the Fun Plan!” I feel a tiny bit bad about hijacking the one bachelorette party I’ve been to but it definitely had that feel, none of us really wanted to do The Plan, and it was much better after the swerve. (We went…

I take it, you didn’t see girls trip then. No, but this is something I observe among my white girlfriends, “this is the fun plan, and we cannot deviate from the fun plan or else we will not have fun. It doesn’t matter if we’re not having fun, it’s on the fun plan so it must be fun” whereas with my black and latina…

My SO, who is not black, recently got into an accident with a pair of black men for which he was at fault. The responding officer, who was white, asked the black men if they had “anything they wanted to tell him about before he ran their licenses,” but he didn’t ask SO—who was the one at fault, let me remind you—the…

Every black person who drives without having a multiview dash cam is taking a risk.

You have 100% gotten a satisfactory answer to this question one of the undoubtedly numerous times you’ve posed it. You don’t care, you’re just shitty.

ah this old canard...every time....like clockwork. Some concern troll wades into a thread about black people being executed by law enforcement with this. If your post is genuine, you have some soul searching to do about your understanding of the 2 completely different problems and your lack of understanding about…

This discussion always confuses me. The FBI crime stats show that in about 92% of cases in which the victim is black, the perpetrator’s race — if known — is black. So in your mind, if this is wrong, what would the ideal percentage be?

I don’t see why it should be included in this discussion. Since it’s a whole different subject. You know, outside of this discussion. You only hear about black-on-black crime when it’s used as a way to dilute the discussion about police violence. Other than that nobody seems to give a fuck.

Then I’ll be tried and convicted for assault because this is Trump’s America.

“If you ain’t rich, you don’t deserve to be alive,” - The Republican viewpoint.

Ahem. Though the truth is, people will be happy as long as the ACA replacement only helps a certain group of people, not the poors or the coloreds or the women.

Thank you for being willing to recognize your privilege (which I as a white lady in a really liberal state share!). The response to me in this thread is emblematic of women tearing each other down to get a seat at the table rather than making more room at the table. I do have a bit more to lose under this…

Thank you!!!! I’ve made sure when talking about the horrors to come that I mention I’m a middle class white lady of priveledge and that I’m likely to make it through the next four years just fine. It’s everyone else that does not benefit from the privilege I happened to be born with that keeps me up at night worried.…
