“Patriarchy hurts men, too” is not a new concept or a rarely discussed one, and men receive far more abuse and degradation at the hands of other men than from the women calling their bullshit. Ultimately it doesn’t matter what anyone else does, the only people who can fix men are men themselves.

You’re closing the stable door after the horse has already bolted with this. Black boys are already dealing with heavier scrutiny of anti-social behavior do to racism. That’s a reason to tackle racism within education and healthcare institutions, not ignore the problem of men and boys struggling with toxic masculinity.…

I’ve only seen bits, but the show changes direction entirely after the first season, shifting away from being an Office clone and into something a lot kinder on it’s fellow man. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ron’s character changed a lot in light of that.

Yep. I think I confused Angela Davis with Alice Walker and was expecting the problem to be support of David Icke. But of course it’s about Israel because that’s one of the big conservative sleeper-cells in liberalism, and it’s going to be a hard one to squash.

The criticism is coming from Tariq Nasheed, misogynist, homophobe, and all around garbage person so I guess I’m inclined to give the playwright the benefit of the doubt.

You’re not very familiar with drag, are you. It’s an art that draws in a lot of gender nonconforming people, but only a small percentage of them are trans. At least one former contestant on Drag Race has come out as a trans woman since, but most of the contestants are cis dudes.

Margot Robbie and Michael B. Jordan look like the stable couple friends from a romcom. Like you can just see them with a bunch of adorable kids, making jokes about each other, and sitting the protagonist down for serious talks about how they are clearly in love with that person they claim to hate so much.

Look, I really love the idea of orc cops and there’s only one movie out there that has that so by god am I going to defend it! Contemporary urban fantasy is such a trash genre that you basically have to abandon all standards to be a fan. 

They actually do. Poor whites are a lot more open to progressive policies than the people above them and a campaign that went in hard on economic justice issues could probably peel off a lot of working class whites who know they’d benefit from socialized healthcare and low cost education. But McCaskill has bought into…

Even on top of that, the segment of the working class that is white is more open to liberal policies than those who tout the need to court them acknowledge. Bernie got a lot of interest from that demographic, and a younger candidate with the same message like AOC could probably peel a lot of people off from that…

Except if you know anything about how IQ actually plays out, it depends a lot more on environmental factors like stable home lives and nutrition, and access to education than anything innate. All stuff that rich people tend to have more of then poor people, leading rich people to have higher IQs on average. Whether…

I don’t think that happened. This asshole is just making up a story to rile up that poor girl at the counter, something that someone would be likely to deny out of embarrassment so no one would believe her when she said she didn’t do it. 

Thank 4chan and the manosphere. There biggest anxiety circles around women not wanting to fuck them, and so their biggest insult is that a woman you have claim on is fucking another man. They started to throw at anyone and anything to mean weak/taken advantage of/failing at manhood, and now it’s every teenage boy’s…

Tell that to Yemen.

He’s not hurting his base. His base is financially pretty secure, and will vote for him out of racism again in 2020.

Some certainly did. It’s not like the angry at handouts crowd is great at acknowledging their own government support. But he didn’t win the state on the rural poor or senior citizens alone. Middle class white people who would gladly watch their own grandmothers starve if it meant Jamal never got a dime he didn’t work…

You’re just carrying the Klan’s water with this shit.

There’s a music reviewer I enjoy who says the thing he hates the most is a white guy with an acoustic guitar, not because they’re always terrible, but because it’s so easy to get into that the style is rife with lazy and untalented people who couldn’t cut it elsewhere. Acoustic covers are really a spinoff of that. For…

It takes a while for a given talking point to work it’s way from legitimate inter-community issue, through a system of reductions, paraphrases, and misinterpretations by white people, and on into a hostile racist gotcha for the proudly bigoted.

Our hero rolls up on a cloud flying robots, blasting lasers and Welcome to the Jungle. Will Ferrel’s voice booms out “what’s the difference between a villain and a super villain? PRESENTATION!”
