It’s sad that your first thought was about your/her aging looks. It is OK to age.

McCheetoism. We are in an era of McCheetoism.

I think this entire thing is really worrying, but what is really pissing me off is his misuse of “McCarthyism” considering that he is starting witch hunts himself. Talk about projection...

I’m 30, I’ve had life experience. I agree that a 20 year old is a youth, however I don’t think 13 to 25 year olds are universally awful people. They’re young people trying to figure stuff out. We have all been them.

Yes. Because Tumblr using teenage makeup bloggers represent the entire generational cohort, regardless of race, class, education, and geographic factors. I’m sure if Tumblr had been around during Gen X’s teenage years, there would be plenty of examples of thin-skinned, emotionally fragile kids being ridiculous and

Don’t blame this on age. There are women twice my age who are just as reactionary as the people you’re describing. There are women ten years younger than me who have a better handle on things than either you or me. These problems existed in the 60s and 70s, too, they’re not a new phenomenon because of millennials.

A MILLION TIMES THIS. I’m not even a huge Beyonce fan (I liked her latest album, but she’s hit and miss with my music tastes). But I find it highly suspicious how (a hell of a lot of white) women are suddenly so concerned with Beyonce being comfortable with her sexuality and constantly questioning whether or not she’s

We can talk about that, but let’s not pretend that suddenly capitalism is an issue when a Black woman is rich and famous as fuck. Let’s not criticize every famous Black woman who says she’s a feminist while praising famous white women for the bare minimum. And let’s not dismiss Beyonce for being sexual while praising

Crispin was all over the place in this interview and excessively pious/judgmental. She is often self-contradictory; e.g. she thinks Steinem’s criticism of women who support Bernie can’t be taken seriously because Steinem’s always had boyfriends, yet Crispin condemns the “context of investigating women’s pasts to

Any leader who calls a free and independent press “the enemy of the people” is an existential threat to democracy.

Trans women do not have male privilege. That’s some ripe TERFism.

I think you’re still confused about pronouns and terms and everything here. “Boys Don’t Cry” is about a trans man, Brandon Teena. Laverne Cox is a trans woman. That’s why you got pilloried - you were misgendering people.

Sit down and really, really think about why you’re uncomfortable with trans people. Are you caught up in thinking in terms of “loud, obnoxious, tacky drag queen” stereotypes? Did you buy in to the “Men in dresses sneaking into women’s bathrooms” fear? Are you more uncomfortable with trans women than trans men?

I feel like education and exposure go a long way. Read up and get to know the trans community as “people” instead of abstract concepts. People tend to be more comfortable with diversity when they are no longer “the Other,” but instead a friend or neighbor.

I think you ignore regional differences. Hawaii had a republican governor from 2002-2010 who was probably to the left of many mainland “blue dog” democrats. Pro-choice, socially fairly moderate; I was not a fan, and had I still lived there I would have voted against her, but she was not cut from the same cloth as

Because they are trying to look as Aryan as possible and would chug bleach if it would get them there?

FUCK HER AND TREVOR NOAH FOR ALLOWING HER ON THE SHOW.

why do racist ass white women keep ruining their hair in the same way

This is good. This is reasonable and lively debate- may be the only way to ever reach people like her. Yelling at her and screaming “YOU BITCH YOU BITCH YOURE A RACIST FUCKWAD” will never make someone like Tami Tahren question how she views the world or change her opinions.
