lots of internet jokes about her turning 18 so dudes could jerk off about it feeling guilty

You know, I think that stigma is totally there, and we see it among Hollywood types. Didn't Shailene Woodley say something along the lines of: I'm not a feminist because I love men? To many, feminism still = femenazi = man-hater. But yeah, the lack of interest is a problem too...Plenty of young people just think that…

Different people have different issues with the word.

She's immune to haters because young men of her generation (most of the population of 4chan and Reddit) grew up with her and she's associated with such an iconic, universally-loved children's book character, so she's viewed as classy and untouchable—it's all a bit Madonna/Whore-ish. It does give her a very powerful…

If you believe in equality, you're a feminist ...

Oh, the Facebook link to this very article has folks saying "this man has set race relations back 50 years" and "he doesn't care about black people." Amazing.

My uncle is a lifelong Republican and he HATES Fox News with a passion for allowing the nuts to take over. He thinks the Tea Party have no place in government and while he's no fan of Obama, he literally laughs at the idea of the man being a tyrant ("a tyrant would get more done.") So there are some in the Republican…

I know. Something I go on the right wing site to see how they view things. It's amazing how they twists things around. It's sad all people can't enjoy the moment without taking sides. funny how Obama was president during March of Washington-50 yr, Mandela, death and Selma. Would Romney or McCain handle this with…

I think it's telling that the ONLY Republican present was George W. Bush.

Yeah, she's the new negro on Fox News' payroll.

Obama could come out in favor of puppies, moms, apple pie, guns and football and all of our conservative Facebook friends would immediately denounce all of those things as socialism.

Christians have been playing the victim card since year zero.

My INCREDIBLY racist half-brother thinks he's a cival rights activist because he's always posting dumb shit Ben Carson says.

After the speech I switched over to Fox for funsies and they immediately put on Alvada King, one of MLK's nieces, who railed against Obama for not mentioning the 50 million dead fetuses. Even the foxbot seemed uncomfortable. I looked her up and found out she's said some incredibly horrible things, like gay people…

Most importantly, he referenced a Jay Z lyric.

Out here in California, and I can't agree with you more. Most of the people I know (family/friends) are pretty much the same way, and it bothers me so. But oh well...at 42 I'm less inclined to try and change their minds mostly because I know it's futile.

Exactly! I love my family, they're for the most part decent, kind, loving people. But they have so thoroughly bought into the extreme partisanship and the Christian right's persecution complex that anything the President or any Democrat does is evil and an attack on the right's good God-fearing beliefs. I honestly…

I don't even know what to do anymore with the amount of hatred I see towards this man. I live in Arkansas and am about ready to disown 80% of ppl I know. There's a lot of racism, sexism, and homophobia out there. It's crazy because many of these same ppl would go out of their way to help someone in need. I can't…
