Seems like new Dems are throwing their hats in the ring daily at this point. Harris seems to have a lot of bad baggage. I think we’ll be ok to call her out on it.

This is the point of “running.” We look at your record and vet you. This is part of her record, and thus we should examine it carefully.

I, too, am sick of the purity tests all liberals have to live up to now, BUT antisemitism (yes, I believe it’s antisemitism) is a line I’m willing to draw for myself to say I cannot support something. I am Jewish. I have been following this very closely as someone who wants to march and take part. I feel like they…

For any random person, maybe. For a person in higher levels of politics? Doubtful.

I assume this person knew/had contact with other people than her bigot parents while she grew up, even if she was home schooled and so on. And it’s one thing to look down on gay people because your dad is a raging homophobe, and quite another to scream about school children figuratively getting orally raped by gays -…

“*Who may in fact be a flaming psychopath who is in fact incapable of actually reforming, and is just play-acting reformed”

On the one hand, I get you. This cools me on her enormously.

Actually, both appear to have come around at a similar time - the point at which opposition to gay rights was no longer a winning position in their party.  Their age has nothing to do with it.  Also, every LGBT person in this country knows at least one person whose mind changed later in life.  It’s not that unusual.…

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.
