At this point, I suspect that you are typing this with a literally tear-stained face. This is obviously not going well for you but once you pulled out the "Oh, yeah? Well, I fooled you all! I was just trolling you! Haha!" it seemed almost certain that you were reading the screen through a veil of tears.

Fuck you, he deserves what he got and worst. The fact the victim can forgive and forget doesn't mean we have to.

This is spot on. She's only 13 (or maybe 14 now?) and I'm not going to blame her for wanting to be kind, but I think we should admire her maturity while also understanding how problematic it is in the grand scheme of things. I worry that people will be like "Well, Mo'Ne forgave him so we should all cut him some…

I once had an argument online with a dude about how much of the vulva a woman sees when she looks down. I told him I was a woman, he still argued against me. (It was in response to a video that went viral which showed women looking at their genitals in a mirror for the first time) It was surreal

That's how I felt about the thing where you tell a joke and everyone ignores you except the guy sitting next to you, and then he repeats the joke you just made and everyone laughs. That happens to me all the time, and I always thought it was because I mumble and have terrible comic timing - which I'm sure it partially…

Do you honestly think that applies to examples people are talking about here? We're not talking about witness testimony in court, we're talking about repeated situations women say they experience universally.

My brother is a serial fuck-up. He just cannot get his emotional shit together. he has a good job (somehow) but is in a loveless/abusive marriage and is an alcoholic. Despite this, members of my family consistently believe his narrative of our childhood over mine simply because he is male. He physically abused me…

THIS is what I like to see!

I didn't say your comment above was racist or misogynistic. I didn't even read it. I said you were those things. You are misogynistic and of particular note, you are a practitioner of some rather blatant and unapologetic misogynoir.

Lol, yes POC wanting to be included and treated as equals is "purity". Please, keep trying to have the last word. I love it when Jezebel commenters peel back the veil and give me a peek into the id of white feminists.

That's nice. But you don't have to feel "antipathy" towards women of color to display white privileged cluelessness, which despite your lack of "antipathy," is nevertheless, hurtful towards WOC.

You do that. And women of color will continue bearing the dual load of racism and misogyny while dealing with the antipathy of white feminists like you and Steinem.

Okay and i come from a third world country as well (can i ask which one and if you are a WOC?). Also racism is very important issue to me and many would like it if some white feminists would at least acknowledge that racism is just as important as sexism. On this site we shut down men when they try to "mansplain" but…

I just think that you should stop pretending to care about women of color and stop using them as props to push your own misogynistic agenda.

Sure they could have, and should have, helped you in your struggle 10, 30, 50 years ago. The good news is that they are helping you now.

Not really, but whatever lets you sleep at night.

Aren't you an MRA?

I like what you're saying, but I'm not seeing a whole lot of tearing down (yet; I'm expecting this comment section to turn into a clusterfuck soon and I keep checking). I mostly see people giving very reasonable critiques. You can support feminism and subscribe to it and still realize there are flaws in the ways some…

Every time I read Sojourner Truth's early 1850s speech "Ain't I a Woman?" I'm also reminded that she was making an argument for women's rights based on gender equality, not gender difference. White feminists for many decades continued to argue the party line that gender difference, specifically women's supposed unique…
