One woman makes up for the whole of human history? Christ.

Agreed, I can see how male nurses or male teachers can face some discrimination due to the gender skew

Nah, male nerds had a hand in patriarchy, same as everybody. They have agency. They benefit when we allow them to pretend they are powerless victims of the Real Villains (and their Choosy Girlfriends, of course!).

*fart noise*

It’s also funny, by contrast, how ‘fluid’ the rules are for women and how easily they flow, ebb, and wane following the temporary leave and return of a pregnant player, for example. The emphasis is always discipline and knuckle-rapping (and persecution / intimidation by way of drug testing). The men’s union would…

“YouWomen, black women in particular, have to respect the game and the place.”

Krueger, has there ever been a female politician you’d compare favorably to a male one, or nah?

I’ve always seen tagging dongs as more of a Fight The Power thing as opposed to an assertion of power.

Now HERE’s some of that neoliberalism we’ve all heard about.

I also think she was using mild scare-quotes there. “He thinks he’s one and doesn’t know what it means, so let’s see how much rope we can give him.”

I actually think she was trying to hoist him on his own petard there, but audience-friendly irony is understandably hard, ask Alanis, and requires a defter, more Minnesota-nice kind of touch than Warren is accustomed to wielding.

A bill that, incidentally, pays for itself while always paying us, the little people, what we’re owed from the big people. It’s a great bill that speaks to a problem most laypeople can somewhat name — shareholders hold a disproportionate amount of influence, for example, plus more money is streaming their way thanks…

Would that be King Rick or Dr. Alli Muhammad? He knows we can just ask them, right?

Yes, I fucking did. Good one! I think it was shat on by the press at the time, but from start to finish (and especially from start), it was and remains awesome. “Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaciiiiiiiid.”

Oh, and the first Troll! That was a good’un.

Tawny is flawless, the dudes are in love with each other, and I still want to be the medium Zarabeth when I grow up.

‘Don’t fuck with the babysitter.’ Yes, indeed!

An ugly old lady and her coven of unfuckables (including Veronica Cartwright) blew Old Man Jack out of the water* and made the studio a good amount of money. I don’t think she needs to avenge this today because she already did simply by showing up and taking what was hers. He didn’t want her and somebody overruled him…

spurious “both sides” clusterfuck

I hope the good things she has done will still carry weight with anyone who isn’t just looking to score partisan “gotcha” posts.
