Um, like Gweneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie’s insulation because of their parents?

I have always hated Girls from the moment it debuted. As a young black woman who lived through early 2000's self absorbed existential crisis wealthy privileged tone deaf white girl hipster crap in Chicago, and then the last few years of self absorbed existential crisis wealthy privileged tone deaf white girl hipster…

Exactly. All the risk is on the victim because the powers that be do not care that women are harassed. They’d rather fire the victim than correct the situation.

You are a clueless victim blaming idiot. When I immediately came forward and filed a formal complaint about my boss sexually harassing me, I was fired. Who do you think most HR departments are made up of? Other powerful harassing men who see women as uppity overreacting nuisances to the company. Women are seen as…

Because women are taught from preschool to bow down to and elevate maleness, and that there’s something inherently inferior about women. That male attention is the ultimate goal and reward, that boys just naturally yank your pigtails and push you down in the sandbox. That’s just how boys/men are, and in order to…

“I find it hard to believe a sane person would kill others like choosing a pair of socks.” Except lots of people choose to kill others on a daily basis for their own selfish reasons. Usually people who feel wronged, forgotten, owed something, hopeless. Not mentally ill.

Plenty of men are angry at the world/hate women and that hatred and anger grow and fester until they takes it out on innocent people by shooting up a mall/post office/school/etc (there’s an entire website called “when she says no” that catalogues shootings carried out by men who had a history of domestic…

So everyone in prison for killing their wives for the insurance money are actually mentally ill? You realize humans are evil and conniving and perfectly sane men have been doing this for centuries? Just because you don’t understand how someone could be so cold and violent doesn’t mean it gets attributed to mental…

Yeah, and let’s stop tracking and recording peoples reckless driving violations such as DUI’s, texting while driving, speeding, and not wearing a seat belt because people will do those things anyway so why bother putting measures in place to decrease their danger to society. You can’t tell people what to do after all.

I’ve had this conversation with pro choice girlfriends of mine who had pregnancy scares and had shitty, neglectful, verbally abusive, cheating boyfriends who were obviously using them and not interested in a relationship. In deciding whether they would continue the pregnancy they would always go off on a “maybe the…

Exactly. I’m a millennial living in Brooklyn (not to feed into the whiny stereotype of milenials or anything) and I’ve had so many friends constantly complain about not being able to find a job, then they finally “settle” for an entry level job (that pays reasonably for a single 20 something with no mortgage or…

When I couldn’t go to college right out of high school, I worked my way up at a retail store and was a manager for a while. Saved some money and worked on planning going to college. As brick and mortar retail waned, I was laid off. It was terrifying as unemployment isn’t much to live on. It took me a year to find…

Exactly. African Americans moved to California, the Midwest, and the north for better opportunities when things stalled, and had to work several low paying jobs/retrain in new industries while trying to finish school etc in order to elevate life for their families. All while enduring bias and prejudice. My family is…

Haa, was just discussing those toasty browner pops at work. My sister and I would always search for them.

*First hand knowledge. Not first have knowledge.

Yeah, I think the people in disbelief about huge stars working with him don’t get that their publicists just sign them up for things that are cool and on trend. Those people aren’t part of the niche hipster scene that’s always known about Terry’s predatory ways. I lived in two major cities during the early and mid…

As a former friend of girls who hung out around bands/actors/artists/pro skaters etc I have first have knowledge of Leto’s behavioral issues with women.

Yes. Just posted this sentiment.

Like how African Americans absolutely needed white allies in powerful positions during the Civil Rights Movement and white allies during the Underground Railroad. No one was saying black people were too weak to stand for themselves. We’d been standing and fighting for ourselves for decades, but integrating the schools…

Nope. I am black and know the deal with acting “respectfully” with police/white people etc. No matter how polite you are, you aren’t going to change a racist persons perception of you. That’s the point. Men like Harvey don’t see any boundaries, even when they were clearly set. The black people who acted responsibly in…
