It’s when your movement stops being a rational one, based off of pragmatism and self-criticism, and starts becoming a religion, fanaticism based on dogma rather than discourse.

I am currently reading the newest piece and all I can say is that it is amazing how effective the proper deployment of logic can be! To wit:
Do these children know how long it takes real, tangible civil rights violations to be resolved? Do these children know that what they are doing will add fuel to the fire of right-wing Title IX haters? Do these children understand that right this very second there are women, rape victims cast out from their schools,…
After reading this post I read Kipnis’ essay, and came here prepared to be unpopular in my opinion of support. Thankfully, after reading through the comments I breathe a sigh of relief that the world isn’t as dire as I had feared. The problem with the lawsuit and protest goes beyond feminism, it speaks to the level of…
College activists are the biggest problem in most ‘liberal’ movements. They tend to be self righteous, knee jerk folks who, while certainly meaning well, act with such fanaticism that they play right into the hands of those who oppose the goals of the left. And worst of all they turn on their own in a heart beat…
This reminds me of my first experience with my fellow college student feminists. The university’s feminist center was staging a production of the Vagina Monologues (as-ya-do) and a smaller subset of feminists protested the production over a perceived bias against women of color and LGBTQA in casting the show. The…
It is a stunning example of feminism devouring itself.
Now playing
I for one object to the VERY IDEA that a telling of Peter Pan could anything less than respectful to Native Americans
Can someone explain to me why an indigenous islander (Tiger Lily) is being played by a Caucausian? I’m assuming I’ve missed something, but right now it seems pretty uncool.
There’s literally no way that’s true but God bless you anyway
I swear, the GOP has something like this. There’s this ass that’s been bombarding the Facebook pages Wisconsin Public Radio’s shows, and every time everyone else blocks his ass (or he gets banhammered), he keeps popping up with a new sockpuppet account.
If you can supply evidence of such bribes in the comments here, then I suspect you'd get out of the greys. Or just link to the story you've written about those bribes on your own blog. Either way, we're all ears!!
A football autographed by Robert Griffin III ain't worth what it once was. But it might still cost a Utah tribal…
HM wears a LOT of solid, bright colors because she knows that people come from all over just to see her & very often won't be able to pick her out of the throng, otherwise.
This gun-toting idiot I went to high school with posted this dumbass rant a while ago about Michelle Obama lacking class for wearing a sleeveless dress. Gonna go send this to her racist ass.
I don't know what contradiction you see. It's not a reflection on whether he's a member of the African disapora or not. He is. But to me and the way I grew up, he's obviously mixed race.
That's part of the problem with the racist thought patterns. I would not assume that any Black in America is a descendant of ancient Egyptians. From what I know (which is admittedly limited) the vast majority of Blacks in America came from other regions of Africa. Therefore, anything said about Egyptians is not…
If you check EmpressZombie's posted photos, check out the San family. As I understand it, they are most likely what the 'original' modern humans looked like, with the darker African, lighter Asian and European phenotypes coming about later.
What do you mean by black? The definition of black (I'm assuming you are American) you are using is an American definition and is not an absolute. I grew up in West Africa as a child before American imperialism and as an example I did not see Lenny Kravitz as black, to me he was obviously half white, not white and not…
