It’s almost as if she’s just a woman that married someone famous and has a lot of babies with him and wears pretty dresses instead of an activist.

I get what you are saying, but the fact that you have a taxpayer funded monarchy that is supposedly required to sign off on anything without ever expressing any opinions is honestly baffling to a lot of us. Like, what’s the point?

To be fair, we have no idea what the internal politics in the royal family is like. There’s a generation between their grandparents and them- maybe they aren’t supposed to step on toes. Maybe they have their orders.

It’s stupid anyway to pretend that rich celebrity women wearing black gowns has anything to do with feminism or workplace harassment. It’s something someone came up with for publicity and everyone else had to go along with or else be seen as regressive. So they all wear black. That gesture is as useless as the royal…

How nice that men can just wear a tux and be done with it.

That generation will NEVER retire. They have been the center of everything from the moment they were born, and they cannot recognize that they are old and irrelevant now. I see this in daily life pretty regularly. They control workplaces and neighborhood orgs. They just will not let go.

Yeah, she’s been in a bubble of hotel rooms, first class flights, accolades, and photo shoots for several years now. Sorry to say it, but she’s basically just a celebrity now.

Sorry if I’m being captain obvious, but the person was likely referencing Steinem’s statement that young women support Bernie to impress boys.

Yes. She said that young women are becoming socialists to get dates with boys. Seriously. She also supported Clinton from the beginning. And I don’t mean supporting Clinton when the only choice was her or Trump (that makes sense) but I mean supporting Clinton throughout the primary when there was still a choice.

Look, Steinem has done all sorts of badass things in the past, so respect to her. But the past few years, she has had some immensely stupid opinions on things. She’s become a Boomer that hasn’t kept up with the times and doesn’t yet realize it.

Fergie does not sound troubled. She’s bragging, not complaining, in those clips, right? It’s gross, but she doesn’t appear to feel mistreated.

Wow. I’m not even trying to be combative, have said that I might be wrong, and am generally on the side that Ansari is an ass. What I’m asking is what he did that is illegal by those definitions and you just keep saying that it’s illegal, period, that’s it, bye bye. What I mean is- what was the nonconsensual thing he…

I don’t know if you are intentionally being elusive or not. What I’m saying is that I don’t know what she claims he did that is illegal according to any definition, including the one on the link you sent. If I’m wrong (and I’ve been wrong before) then please correct me. But you aren’t doing that- you just seem to be…

Yeah but it’s hard to not know how gross he got in old age. Young hot Marlon though, yummy.

James Baldwin did have a thing for actors. I believe Quincy on the first two. The Beatles didn’t suck at all though they weren’t the flawless geniuses they are remembered as being.

You can keep repeating that it was illegal, but I looked at the statute you linked to and don’t see what you are referring to. What did he do that was illegal as defined by that statute?

You’re probably right. I don’t know much about the Balkans, but it does make me uncomfortable when people who criticize the US’s foreign interventions refuse to take a stand on what we should do when there is a humanitarian crisis. The US currently supports or opposes dictators’ human rights atrocities depending on…

Yes, but bigger than that. It’s not the money wasted on the parade, but on the military budget in general. Compare the bipartisan support for increases in the military budget recently to the claim that we can’t afford universal health care.

I can’t really think of too many worthwhile causes in recent decades. Like what? Fighting the Nazis was kickass, but since then, what?

Nope. And you don’t get to say what people should ignore. I think the militarization of our police and ICE on top of American militarism abroad coupled with a population that is falling over itself to support and glorify the troops at all costs is a major component of the current fascist creep at worst and a major…
