Strollers can help keep toddlers contained and in one space - if they weren’t in a stroller, they’d likely be trying to run all over the place, which is extra dangerous on public transportation. Don’t blame the caregivers - blame our social world for being set up with the expectation that women and people with babies…

Not enough of a fuss has been made about Ivanka going to Berlin for the W20 summit. She has no qualifications to work in policy, international law or norms, diplomacy, or women’s rights. She has no reason to be the representative for our country, other than being the daughter of the president. She is not a fucking…

Can you imagine being in an Egyptian prison and THIS IS THE AMERICA YOU COME BACK TO?! I don’t blame her for being excited to be home, anyone would be and it’s not like she can tell the Trumps to go fuck themselves because who knows...they might just send her straight back if she does.

Knock it off. I work with homeless youth (direct service, outreach, program management), and have for many years, in an incredible agency that serves the whole homeless population in my area. It is high burnout work that most people can’t handle for more than a couple of years, and there are a disproportionately high…

An anecdote of why you can’t run government like a business. As told by Jamie Vollmer:

Yes, I am aware of the sociology behind the term and the concept. I possess a degree in sociology with a focus on gender and culture, in fact

Ohhhh Tomi. Now you’re learning what all of us former “cool girls” learned: you are not, and will never be, exempt from misogyny.

Because feminism is about recognising that women, as a class, are oppressed throughout societies by systems, beliefs, power structures etc which discriminate against them and favour men and therefore result in inequalities, and about working to change things to remove the oppression and bring about equality. “Having…

I don’t know though....

You’d think all that education would make them ... more aware. Maybe you wouldn’t think, but you would wish.

A friendly reminder that the GOP plans are hostile towards families and children. They want to increase unwanted pregnancies and then to deny women any methods of family planning and then prosecute and jail them when they exercise their bodily autonomy.

We need to stop playing into the GOP narrative that we want free birth control. Under the ACA, we get birth control covered at 100% by our insurance, but we pay for the insurance. It’s not a handout. It’s simply requiring insurance to provide a benefit that the overwhelming majority of women need.

I think eventually Ivanka is just going to come out and show her breasts to the press corps, and that will be the extant of any WH communication.

THIS ADMINISTRATION CAN GET FUCKED BY A GODDAMN CHEESE GRATER

He also made this terrifying statement: “We’re going to hold the press accountable.” That’s the direct opposite of how things work in a free nation, asshole.

Really wish these people would learn to read the bible they purport to follow.

God given right eh?
Who is this “God” character and where can I meet them? I want to meet the person apparently entitled to be giving out rights.

Let’s also remember that the Weimar Republic, and Germany during the interwar period, was socially a very progressive place. Jews had more rights in Germany than in practically any other part of Europe where there was a significant Jewish population. There was a vibrant Gay and Lesbian scene. Also vibrant Marxist and…

You nailed it. Not to mention knitting is a valuable skill practiced for centuries and represents self-reliance in an overly capitalist society- but because its primarily done by women, that automatically makes it “frivolous”.

It seems to me that the notion that female-coded things are infantilizing and not to be taken seriously is itself steeped in patriarchal ideals.
