This. Said it the first time and I still agree with it now. Who gives a flying fuck what she calls herself if she’s doing the WORK? Too many women think all that is required is to claim the label. As a WoC, I’d much rather a woman reject the label and do the work than take the label and sit on their ass. Plus these…

... Ok? That’s cool? Like I said, my issue is when people are getting pissed off at me for not being pissed off as much as they are, at the same things they are. (See: the multiple friends who lost it on me when I didn’t launch into a 15-minute tirade about how awful Joss Whedon is for doing that to Black Widow.)…

I find it fascinating how feminism vacillates between denying any trace of anger in the movement (often, and ironically, in a fairly angry fashion), and making performative outrage the model for demonstrating one’s feminist credentials. Please don’t get me wrong - the wrongness of sexism does not hinge upon how nice…

This. We don’t know the everyday ins and outs of her life, and women in the public sphere are often expected to expose so much of themselves already.

Yep and maybe instead we should also focus on why so many WOC feel like they do not fit into the feminist movement.

Here’s hoping this means that Salma Hayek’s back in Jezebel’s good books as a voice for women’s rights and gender equality. Where she belongs.

Especially given the age and power differential between the two.

RIGHT? My first thought was, “hot damn, that is some Jeffersonian shit right there.” I’m horrified and amazed. Horrimazed. Amazified. I don’t know.

Can we talk about the costumes?

First time I get to use this in response.

This is another creative way.

A true Renaissance Man.

As a Black Man with a White Name, White Speech Patterns and White Mannerisms (I was raised this way by a Mother and Father who knew the shitty world they lived in) I totally agree with you. This race thing is just so stupid!

I get great phone interviews, and often get told: The in person interview is a formality! Then…
