Who are we to judge which marginalized groups are and are not worthy of working with? Seems to me like you want to throw out the baby with the bathwater? An argument could be made that “western feminism” (including feminism practiced by black Americans) does not represent “Muslim” or “LGBTQ” feminism and therefore…

... and this is why you have statute of limitations on these things.  I’m not super sure how someone would go about defending their name in situations like this if they happened fifteen years ago, much less 56.  Dylan even has the benefit of being a celebrity surrounded by people and journalists establishing some of…

It’s not just rich people. It’s also working-class and middle-class people who are angry that THEY aren’t getting help (at least in ways that they are able to recognize as help).

All this is simple Economics 101, and if rich people would sit still long enough to pay attention, it helps them too. When you give people who don’t have enough money to live on more money, they spend it on things to live on. If they have children, they spend it on things for the children. What — well, I don’t know…

To be fair, there is a huge discrepancy between the number of men working in this field and women. There are all sorts of systemic reasons why this is an issue, but it is one reason why dev teams tend to consist of mostly men. I finished my bachelor’s in computer science and, of the 30 or so people graduating with me,…

There’s an alternate timeline where all those stunts don’t fuck him up and where Philip Berk doesn’t grope him and I wonder, in that timeline, what his arc would have been.

When they showed the picked/sold prices at the end, it never seemed like enough for two guys to live off plus gas/rent and whatever Danielle gets.

Characteristics. But you can’t change your chromosomes.

I’m not convinced about their arguments, and feel there are other ways to mitigate the problems the apparent assignation of sex at birth create down the line.

It is pretty remarkable that they posted the two articles at the same time.

Yup. And note that Lucy Liu was the one who actually used homophobic language.

Music genre that previously celebrated both misogyny AND homophobia (preferably by rhyming insults to both in a single verse) fails to accept incursions of women and gays to the art form?

While I applaud her for putting herself first, this act really pisses me off. Why now? She was the captain of her team and their leader and she walked out on them. She also took a valuable position from another competitor that could have had a chance to compete at the Olympics. Why didn’t she retire at the US olympic…

Can we find some more nuanced way of discussing this? Can we acknowledge that it is important and right for Biles to look after her mental and physical health, while also acknowledging that what happened to day was not, in fact, “worth celebrating?” It is unfortunate that she was unable to complete the competition and…

I understand swooning over his talent, but to objectify his body like this seems hypocritical to the overall message of this site. Not two days ago there was a blog about the female reporter being sexually harassed.

Every time I turn on Twitch I am bombarded by vaccine ads targeting PoC.  Are black people against vaccinating or what?

We as a country systemically discriminate against those with severe mental illnesses and disabilities, and yet we somehow lift rich white charismatic people with potentially dangerous delusions to positions of power within government —- and go along with those delusions as though they are reasonable. This is…

Pro life party slowly killing and eradicating their own voting base. Classic.

Using peer pressure to get kids vaccinated sounds like basically the best possible use of peer pressure.

“Insane death cult” just gets more accurate a as description every day with these guys.
