That is a fair viewpoint, however I expect this attitude will likely only last when the choices in question are deemed wrong or bad in some way. There is also a secondary point however, in that it is none of your/our business in some ways how people live their lives. They don’t owe anyone a justification just because…

There are reasons why Autism Speaks is considered a terrible organization by many. In addition to their dalliance with the anti-vax crowd, they are focused on preventing and curing Autism, which does not square with the view that people with Autism think differently, but not necessarily worse. Helping Autistic people…

Interracial relationship as well but we’re both poc. We were dating for yeaaarrsssss before I even realized we counted as an interracial relationship! We live in the San Francisco Bay area and always forget.

As an biracial person, 100% of my relationships are interracial.

Well, that and “My daddy Alabama, Momma Louisiana/You mix that negro with that Creole make a Texas mama”.

Subject = serious

So what you’re saying is this is all leading up to a law where a man is allowed to enter the women’s bathroom as long as he thinks he saw another man enter? This will surely lead to protecting the fragile women and will not lead to a man following in a man who thinks he saw another man enter.

I’m being sarcastic but…

“I’m just trying to make sure you’re not being harassed!” (As I stand outside the bathroom, waiting to harass you)

Why in the world do they suddenly care about women being assaulted. No one seemed to care when it was a drunk guy trying to grope me in the middle of the street or on the subway or at a concert.

OH WAIT, ITS not about that is it

The first time through I was all I kind of dig this Jim... lately though I have an odd ball crush on Dwight (later season Dwight especially). Also, if the bobble Dwights were not so expensive I would have one in my office right now.

I actually understood her hesitance. It is nice to dream about, especially when you dream about becoming an artist, but when you are actually confronted with that reality, and when you have kids and a solid job that you are comfortable with, that type of move can be scary.

It’s more like “If Hillary were a man with those same qualifications, she’d be predicted to win by a landslide.” The “woman card” has only gotten her sexist bullshit over the years and made it that much more difficult to achieve what she’s achieved. The only advantage the “woman card” gets any of us is the occasional…

because clearly they would never send something like this to anybody

Okay, fair enough. I certainly did NOT consider that. And now I understand much more clearly. Makes total sense, and I do try to educate myself as much as possible (I wouldn’t be a frequent reader and commentor on a site like Jezebel if I didn’t). I will definitely check out that link. Thanks again!

Serious question: have you considered how many times I’ve personally been asked by men to talk them through Feminism 101? Why should women take the time and emotional energy to kindly and graciously educate men who want to be anti-sexist? Part of the work of being anti-sexist is realizing that asking women to do that…

I get told all the time that “Twitter isn’t real life.” But it IS real life.

*I* wanted to hug them and I was sitting across from them! They were legitimately so upset. It was unreal. Restored my faith in humanity. And bros.
