It’s always been a topic of discussion, but as far as I know, the flash point for the historical debate was in the 90s. I can’t speak to general popularity. I did not mean to imply it was exclusively a notion from the 90s. I hope it didn’t come off that way!

I’m aware of the bill. They passed that bill at the height of the Iroquois Theory’s popularity. These debates particularly raged in the 90s.

Well, I disagree with the statement. But here’s a source that does a good job at laying out a comprehensive argument:

As repugnant as I find King’s comments...this is something of an urban legend for which there is little to no concrete evidence. The historian in me is compelled to respond!

Why in the world do they suddenly care about women being assaulted. No one seemed to care when it was a drunk guy trying to grope me in the middle of the street or on the subway or at a concert.

OH WAIT, ITS not about that is it

I insulted him to his face at a concert. Really small venue event for charity. You were never more than three people away from the stage. The show started two hours late and after standing outside in stilettos waiting to get in the venue, I was not in the mood. I was standing dead center in front of the stage, being…

Them? They’re engaged!

You must be fun at parties.

Pssst, the New Yorker and the New York Times are two totally different publications.

A homophobic bigot with an anger problem that once had a a very minor quasi-rap hit, who is loved by white women who normally don’t listed to rap music. Here most notable cultural achievement is probably being one of the last d-list celebrities given the chance to pose nude for Playboy. Also someone who apparently…

Naw, that was definitely her. I was cackling at her condescendingly explaining what “je ne sais quoi” meant. She’s not stupid, she’s just selfserving and hateful.

I think you really have to want it to be offended by this one.

Not pictured: the Gap Kids ad from just a few years ago wherein a black model was using a white model as an armrest in almost the exact same pose.

Wasn’t 2002 only a couple of years ago?!?!

Thought Catalog is the worst thing written *by* millennials. This is the worst thing written ABOUT millennials.

That karate anecdote really hit home for me. Karate was my life from ages 10-16, when I finally got my black belt. However, once thrown into class with the other black belts, most of whom were men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, I quit within six months. Why? Because they made inappropriate and sexist remarks about my…

I’m with the librarian about Point #2. You can’t expect a library to get rid of all the children’s books with subtle sexist messages. Even if the library just got rid of all the books with OVERT sexist messages, it wouldn’t carry any European fairy tales. (Except Hansel and Gretel. Gretel’s a badass.) I think the…

How I make perfect rice:

All major religions are fucked up patriarchies! Just a reminder.
