Ted Cruz needs to do whatever the fck is necessary to hide that hideous fcking face of his.

This is why I don’t go out much. This is why I ration fluids when I’m traveling. This is why I try to keep my head down. I’m just trying to live my life, and I prefer not to get my ass kicked, killed, or called a homophobe or misogynist because I exist.

Who cares?

I work less than a mile from where this occurred and I’m a trans woman who’s also 29. I’ve faced massive discrimination with my employer after coming out and I feel like I’m close to being fired. I have had so many bad experiences; I hate this state and hopefully can get out :(

As much as anything, it’s an excuse to let folks know that AE has pivoted to full-blown TERF. Based on the other responses I’ve had, that’s not yet common knowledge.

You will still be some man’s daughter or niece or distant relative.

Patriarchy will find a way.

It’s maddening when a woman’s life is to who she married or who her offspring is. My obituary will read “no one’s wife and mother of none is dead; therefore, no one cares.”

Yeah, shutdown is all blah blah blah, inconvenience and then everyone gets back pay. Not to say that people don’t suffer — especially those who have to wait for payment, those who live paycheck to paycheck — but as a government employee spouse this is NOT AT ALL unexpected, because we’ve been through this before,…

I’m naming my next daughter “Ruth.”

Hi! Sorry your experience at Jezebel was less than perfect. We’re working on correcting the typo, and we’d like to invite you and your friends back, on the house. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

This evening, my friends and I wanted to really experience the feminist side of the internet so we went to Jezebel. There aren’t enough words to describe how awful it was.

West Point is a grubby backwater best known for 1) it massive, reeking paper mill and 2) being the halfway bathroom-break spot for Richmonders headed to their summer homes in Deltaville. There’s nothing there but a big McDonald’s and a whole bunch of rednecks, so I’m not surprised the students have rallied around the…

There’s a lot to unpack here. I’m trans and I’ve spent my career thus far in customer-facing IT. I’ve long accepted that I will have both co-workers and customers who hate me. I guess that’s life where I can expect to always get the short stick.

Oh, fuck you.

these types often think of refraining from beating someone to death is “tolerance”

‘he was at risk of losing his job for having views held by “most of the world for most of human history.”’

Less than maybe two weeks ago, he made headlines for his son’s first birthday party, which had a cowboys and Indians theme. Guests were dressed up as Indigenous people in blankets, there were party favors of toy guns, and teepees throughout the party. I guess he was “spreading positivity” when he made violent conquest…

Don’t blame the people who find stuff. I totally want to know if someone posted something stupid or offensive, and I want to know if they still feel the same way. 

Dude is using an MLK quote to make himself feel better about being an asshole and getting justifiably kicked around for refusing to apologize? As if that’s what MLK intended when he said that quote. Boy, bye.
