So much this!! This issue in & of itself isn’t going to mean a kid doesn’t get insurance, or that a middle class family will pay more in taxes. What it does mean is that the family currently in the WH has zero understanding of how to do a single thing right. And that they seemingly actually could not care less about…

What if it’s the traditional values that are degenerating Western society, hmm?

“Complicit Feminism” should be Jezebel’s concept of the year, tbh. Really brings it all together.

Good! Fuck traditional values. Traditional values mean no gay marriages... mean no abortion rights... I mean, if we’re REALLY gonna run with it, depending on just how traditional you wanna get, traditional values also means women and POC can’t vote and slavery is still a thing.

Every time that douchenozzle Steve King goes on about the superiority of Northern European culture I am reminded of the fact that, at the same time that Middle Eastern and Mediterranean civilization reached heights of sophistication that it took most of northern Europe at least 1000 more years to achieve, King’s pasty…

Oh, honey, it’s all about The Benjamins. Gawker Media Group used to be owned by one guy, who made the editorial and business decisions himself, with the assistance of sub-editors and business managers and the like. Then Valleywag, which was before my time here, made some rude remarks about an American Oligarch (they…

Confession: I was forced to watch every godawful episode of that atrocity (my coworker binged it w/o headphones) and you’re telling me that that garbage won not one, but MULTIPLE awards?

Which, if you think about it, is kind of the point of the article. Interesting proof of concept, really.

It was her computer!

Cline does not “admit to having been an abusive partner.” She admits to behavior you view as abuse and she does not. Defining “abuse” as a twenty-year-old putting keystroke-recording software on her own computer, which her thirty-three-year-old partner sometimes used, so that she could establish that he was cheating…

One of the things that I hate about “social media activism” is... once an exclusive project (a movement/awareness for a problem plaguing a marginalized group) starts “trending”, then that movement must bend and contort (as well as, erased certain aspects) in order to be exclusive. I heard about the #metoo hashtag 3-4…

The fact that it’s not mainstream knowledge, and the fact that it didn’t catch on 10 years ago. Some people have said it’s because Alyssa Milano is so famous and we grew up with her... I don’t think that’s the case, though. Anything that women of colour, especially black women, have to say is relegated to the…

Yeah. The fact that this isn’t mainstream knowledge is testament to exactly what Union is saying. It only became popular when famous white women made it a thing.

I will say it again,

BTW.... #METOO was started by this woman:

Congratulations. Here’s your Peak White Feminism trophy. Take it quickly before we run out; there are a lot of contenders in the comments today.

Explain yourself.

Weeks on the best sellers’ list sounds like it was selling. A book cant sell in airport stores if it’s not moved from a cart in the back to a display shelf.

PSA: Union saying this does not diminish anyone’s experience. She is stating a fact about how things are. Kind of like how AIDS wasn’t taken seriously until a little white boy was dying of it -Ryan White (and when a white male celebrity got it - Rock Hudson). There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging reality (in fact…

You’re a perfect counterpoint to the nonsensical “I can’t be racist because I’m not part of systemic oppression!” argument. If you don’t realize that you’re a hateful, violent racist, you’re deluded.
