The Hill is reporting that Madeleine Albright spoke at a Clinton rally and reminded voters that “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.”

It’s frustrating that there is the perception that because I wasn’t for Hillary in in 08 or this time around I’ve “bought into the patriarchy” as another commenter on her so kindly put it. Which is downright offensive, because it reduces my ability to vote and made educated decisions to my reproductive organs. What I…

I went to an event with a friend during the 08 primaries at a democratic women’s club in DC around DuPont circle—-Howard Dean was speaking and women in their 40s and older would see the Obama buttons on our coats and just shake their heads at us, and say things to us as if we were just too young to figure out that…

Yeah, thanks. Margaret Thatcher wasn’t exactly female-friendly, was she?

What I Find interesting is that Bernie could be the first jewish president and no one is saying anything about that.

Some people just prefer Bernie.

If only Warren was running we wouldn’t have this false feminism bullshit.

“BernieBros” is exaggerated bullshit. Some people just prefer Bernie.

The dumbest line I‘ve heard so far is “vote for Hillary if you want to see a female president in your lifetime”

Pretty horrible, but sums up what many Hilary supporters believe. Somehow because I’m a woman I should be voting for Hilary because she’s one as well. Or I’m sexist because I don’t vote for Hilary. Everyone wants to talk about BernieBros, but Clinton supporters are just as bad (if not worse) when it comes to these…

True - Mulder isn’t a character that is known for carefully stated meditations. Trying to suddenly place a carefully constructed description of the transgender experience in the scene could have come off as awkwardly as the shouted gay-denial protestations from that Seinfeld episode (“Not that there’s anything wrong…

Agreed. I find this article to be a tad extra sensitive on the topic. Mulder is clearly not incredibly familiar with the topic and explaining it can be confusing and mildly uncomfortable to some. Especially in a fantastical sense to a very confused were-monster who’s somehow Australian. To the general public this can…

It’s a show about monsters. I didn’t get that the writer was trying to draw a parallel between monster and trans* at all. Mulder fumbled his explanation and it felt appropriate. He’s a forty something year old cis guy that watches a shit ton of porn. He’s not going to get it 100% correct but he tried. The writer…

Nobody said she created European xenophobia, just that she clearly has no problem exploiting it when she wants. Not something I’d brush off as “silly kid” behavior.

“this whole catastrophe has messed her up”
No she was a messed up person before hand who created this incident. Don’t make it out as though she is a victim somehow. She is a vile racist and manipulator. The exact same type of girl who would have got knocked up in the 50's then had a black man lynched for rape so she…

She had the nerve to blame not anyone, but specifically brown skinned people i.e. refugees. That’s not a ‘silly girl’ attitude.

Yeah, who could have predicted that in a climate of fear and virulent racism/xenophobia, a claim that a 13 year old girl was gangraped by dark-skinned foreigners would cause such a stir?

She was smart enough to know that her best chance for being believed was to blame brown people. White people teach their children the important lessons early, don’t they?

Yup. That she corrected her story isn't about to change the minds of anyone who's anti-immigrant/refugee, and it's just making it harder for actual rape victims to be believed. Obviously glad she wasn't raped, but fuck. Come on kid.

What the hell makes someone decide this is an okay thing to do? I mean, yes, she’s 13 - but that makes it even sadder to me. The fact that a 13-year-old would be able to come up with a story about getting raped and kidnapped is just tragic. What a horrible situation for everyone involved.
