The impulse to give people like this individual an international platform to iterate on and broadcast their dastardly, disgusting notions of white supremacy is to some extent understandable to me (like, “what?? He said what out loud? He believes what???”). But it is also disturbing and damaging that he is getting a…

Rooha is a Bahá’í refugee from Iran (where she is prohibited by the government from going to college). She used her empathy platform to speak against injustice and racism and yes: they handed her a far wider platform, didn’t they!

It sounds like these recent incels think that plastic surgery/body modification is part of a “language” of attraction. I think what you’re saying, though, is that the group in its early form talked more about behaviors and cues, is that correct? Can you say more about the “remedies” you found for growing up without…

OF COURSE she knew. Posing for crew photos....? And stories say she “didn’t know” it was wrong. Ha.

They are defending their right to be racist with impunity, and this singer/song is just a symbol of that.

I love every note of this album. Where are they now?? I know Jean Norris married Marcus Baylor of the Yellowjackets, but that’s about it....

I am sorry my comment autocorrected to Rick. I know it’s Rich! Rich!

“People who weren’t in the room when the abuse supposedly occurred don’t have a side, only opinions (and inexpert ones at that).”

THESE sisters stood up for the cashier, this is how it’s done - you mess with one of us, you are messing with all of us - yet NONE of the men in the St Petersburg McDonald’s incident reported above did though. In fact they physically held the sister back, not the aggressor!

Just because she could handle herself doesn’t mean she should have had to. Nobody - none of those other employees - helped that sister, in fact, they were holding HER back and did absolutely nothing to him, the aggressor. It’s appalling. Then her manager, instead of calling the police, tries to continue the…

Your internet comment made me laugh out loud at the screen for one of the first times ever in my life. Thank you.

I think it has to do with a lust for power, control and supremacy.

Make abortion illegal? Remove the autonomy of women, control them more easily.

Reduce and punish immigration? Create an illusion where white Americans are at the top, and don’t have to grapple with the discomfort of accomplished, powerful Black and…

This comment could not be more apt. OMG. 

Lundy Bancroft’s book, Why Does He Do That? provides insights/pokes holes into this argument (often used as a justification or excuse, though I am not saying you are using it that way) that “hurt people hurt people.” It’s based on Bancroft’s work with EMERGE, and thousands of interviews, over years, with abusers, as…

BLACK THOUGHT IS THE BEST

She didn’t initiate microaggressions. They were MACROaggressions that could have resulted in the arrest, injury or even death of the girl and/or her mother. What she did was violent and dangerous. 

Also handmade ceramics. The dishwasher can mess up and dull the glaze finish over time. Better to hand-wash those.

Oh, wow - she WON (I realize it was a pittance, but it matters). I’m in awe that she sued, the whole ordeal must have been so hard. The swamp-dwellers make it as hard as humanly possible. #timesup

Oh my God, it’s enraging. Although it’s clear the university is trying to protect itself, I don’t really get it - to this day, I wonder, does the administration not realize that I have grounds to sue them, certainly more than the abuser does? The stalker in my case violated not only MIT policy, but the law, and…

Thank you for your kind words, Mike Pipper. It always helps. Hugs back!
