The part of the anti-abortion movement that keeps getting glossed over is the class issue. I agree there's bodily autonomy restrictions on women that are troubling (to put it mildly), but I firmly believe there's a "new slavery" mentality at work that punishes people without adequate access to health care and seeks to

It's a good thing that the power dynamic of womansplaining and mansplaining are the exact same, so you can make this a true equivalency.

I don't know; I'm a male Jezzie (Mezzie?) and I find myself having a maturity gap when I try to date women more than, say, four years younger (I'm 30.) I don't know if it's a maturity thing - I don't know that I'd consider myself more mature than other guys - or if it's hard for me to relate to someone that doesn't

That's what I was thinking. I think the focus on the man himself misses the bigger picture. They're having him write this shit because it sells. It's much more a reflection of misogyny in society than his own misogyny. Of course that doesn't mean he's not a misogynist - he probably is, being willing to write this -

Hand him this:

"Listen," said the parents and the school in a joint statement, "If this were an issue of a promising young football player playfully raping another student, certainly we could look the other way. But this isn't that. This is a violent crime of an evil teenager consensually having sex with a slightly younger teenager.

Oh sweet jeebus, I can't even deal with the whole "OMG my-privileged-group-is-now-slightly-less-privileged — REVERSE DISCRIMINATION!!!!" Men, whites, Christians, straight people - I'm banging my head against the desk so hard I'll be drawing blood soon.

All I'm hearing is that it's only called "extra support" when you're a woman. Being a man and belonging to golf clubs, intraoffice groups and committees, having older male mentors - that's just all part of the job. If a woman does these things, it's a secret cabal of vaginas. If a man is on a leadership committee

Gender equality is not a zero sum game. Women can progress without men losing anything (other than unwarranted privilege and misogyny).

Poor men. Constantly overlooked in the wake of all those ladies taking their jobs. Why won't anyone think of all the poor men?

I will never have sympathy for any clothing company that suffers financial insolvency while leaving "fat" money on the table out of vanity. Fuck them up their stupid ass. I believe Abercrombie has recovered, but still...no sympathy.

Know what Mr Douche Face?

This shows what a white person I am, but... I remember Oprah taking about how Gayle insisted on going to all the "black movies" the opening weekend just to support them. She was like, "Booty Call. Seriously?" So I think this is true, people want to support their people even if they're bad. Unfortunately, the
