To be fair I think that if the original response to my post (which I acknowledge was not written the best) had not been so harsh the conversation would not have been derailed. Honestly I rarely make it out of the grays I never wanted the conversation to get so heated. Unfortunately it did.

I think it is acceptable to cite your intent but it needs to be along the lines of "my intent was x and I clearly missed the mark". I did not INTEND to be racist, but I was and for that I am deeply sorry.

"There is nothing not funny about eating disorders,"

Follow up with "why not" or "what is your understanding of feminism?"

I enjoy EVERYTHING post modern jukebox puts out.

LOL OMG the schedule!!!! "I could squeeze you in for some sex between Pilates and bed time" LOLOLOL

I definitely get that. I definitely get how exhausting it can be to explain this shit you deal with everyday to people who are late to the party, at let's face it there are a lot of different parties one could be at. But I have found that alienating people does not help the cause. I didn't comment expecting a pat on…

Agreed. Thank you for your response.

I want to be an ally. My original comment was a misguided attempt to do that. A few other people have politely explained to me why what I said was problematic. And I am trying to learn from my mistake. I don't mind critical responses. I want to learn. But I have a huge issue with how meows responded to me. It was not…

Thank you for your calm and genuinely nice critique. I have put a lot of thought into my original comment since I wrote it. I have come to realize that I did not word it the best. I was in between meetings and rushed. It is hard not to get defensive when people jump down your throat though. Rather than taking the time…

yea I gues I said "can be worse" not "is worse" because I did not want to speak for anyone.

I really was trying to say that that I have ZERO idea what WOC face on a daily basis. I can only relate, and only to a certain degree, to the sexism part.

That is all I was trying to say. Apparently I missed the memo that white women are not supposed to empathize in the comment section of articles about WOC

Thank you for understanding that. I was just trying to empathize. I see a lot of comments about how "solidarity is for white women" or "feminism is only for white women". I dont believe that at all, but the narrative favors white women for sure. I was really trying to point out that as a white woman I recognize sexism…

I was not trying to point out that white women suffer too. I was trying to say "hey I can only understand to a point, but I empathize as much as I can".

I am super confused by this as well. Are they saying 6 months is how long it will take for the toothpaste that was already made to be off the shelves? Is it six months because they already purchased 6 months worth of materials and will stop manufacturing by march 2015? Get your shit together crest. Twitter is not the…

Thank you! I was sitting here trying to figure out where I went wrong!

And yes that whole bit about Olivia and Fitz! As if its some sort of childish temper tantrum! That whole article made my skin crawl.

so,woc of color don't know what white women go through concerning sexism?

I stand by my Russel Wilson jersey. Visiting Seattle Children's Hospital every Tuesday without fail for almost 3 years. Yea I dig it.
