I want to applaud Sports illustrated for having the courage to feature a young white woman with symmetrical features, the hip to waist ratio of the Venus de Milo, and pert breasts. Most humans look at this model and have to cover their eyes in horror. Only the Sports Illustrated editors could see past conventions of…

i was literally that kid who would be like "okay guys, I'm changing my name to Sunny, so call me that now." And then I would make a name tag for myself so that even strangers would know that I had a very kewl name.

I've been to Indian Wells a couple of times now, and still find it impossible to believe that the incredible vitriol reserved for Serena Williams (which can almost always be overheard from somebody nearby) has absolutely nothing to do with race. Even when the question of her longevity and dominance comes up—which it…

I'm not going to respond to and ungrey the clown down below trying to blame the whole incident on Serena's father, but what I will say is threatening (the illusion of) white supremacy really does make some people lose their damn minds.

I'm really excited about the computer parts I got delivered today.

Better to walk the walk. My man doesn't call himself a feminist but he treats me like his complete equal and calls out other men on their sexist behavior. No rape jokes around him...and he is retired military. I love men who are free of the need to impress other men, and who show integrity through acting like all…

All of the male whining in this thread proves that it's not just the people I've been hanging out with. Sorry. I love male allies, don't love male "feminists."

Mens Rights Activists, crying violent baby-men who rage and rage, and sometimes break the law and hurt people, because the women they want to fuck can refuse to fuck them, and the women they don't want to fuck exist at all.

As a straight cis man (I love imagining myself saying that in my best mansplainin voice), I find it very interesting to listen to my friends discuss women's rights. Every last one of them would publicly state their belief in equal rights and compassion for feminist issues. However, it is really only by studying their…

Originally from Michigan, he strove for an anti-capitalist lifestyle, the pinnacles of which were his militant veganism and leadership in the biking community.

This is also my experience. I know many good men who might not read bell hooks, but who practice active consent, respect boundaries, and listen more than they speak when women are discussing their experiences. The guy that walks in yelling about his reading list and his personal practices is the guy that I do not…

Any man who calls himself a feminist immediately sets off my creep alarms. I have never met a male "feminist" who wasn't a manipulative tool.

This is why I don't give a shit about attracting men to feminism. I don't give a flying toss if feminism has a marketing problem. I don't care that you don't feel 'welcomed into the community'. For too long popular feminism has been more concerned with it's image and "collecting members" than real action.

I have never experienced assault at the hands of a male feminist, but I have experienced Macktivism for sure. I only trust men who listen more than they talk about feminism (in a conversation with women), who are feminist in actions but not necessarily name. I look for nuances in conversation, reactions to real world…

I don't understand how my SO has not yet figured out that telling me to calm down usually results in the direct opposite of whatever it was he was hoping to achieve. I know I can be a moody bitch at times (so can he, fair's fair!), but since when does purposely prodding a swarm of bees that you suspect to be a bit…

god i heard the clip and i wanted to punch his face off his face and then take his skin face and tan it and then put that on a dart board and use it and then attach that to a missile and blow it up and then take the ashes of that and pee on them and then take that and put it under the part of my yard where my dog pees…

I'm not outright rude to religious people, but after spending 20 years of my 30 year life defending myself from screeds about what a terrible person I am, or how I cannot have morals for lack of god, I'm not entirely sympathetic to this argument. Religious people are the vast majority in this country, and much of our…

Yeah I just usually say: Don't tell me what to do! Even if I am being completely unreasonable over unripe avocados. I hate it when some men automatically assume a woman is hysterical when her voice is slightly raised. Jesus.

Dear Rand Paul,
