I think there was an article a few months back about "attention whores" and there was considerable discussion as to whether or not the term could be applied to men.
So ... let me get this straight. On August 4th, women are shallow because they only admire women that society has deemed attractive, as opposed to women who have accomplishments.
On all other days, the only thing David Hookstead feels it relevant to critique women based on their appearances and not their…
History: JFK fucked around with countless women, including Marilyn Monroe.
Seriously. Stop focusing on gay marriage and abortion, and instead focus on what being a conservative is supposed to be about: smaller government. If you'd actually spend time talking about ways to make the federal government smaller and more efficient, and address the issues of crony capitalism - which both parties…
Oh? And what might that be?
Here's the problem: you can't extrapolate abortion and other reproductive freedoms from the holistic argument. Anne Romney tried very hard to do this when she was talking about women and the economy, stating that women don't care about birth control. She failed.
"There are very few Democratic women who can begin or finish a sentence without mentioning a 'woman's right to choose,'" Conway said...
If Republicans would stop attacking abortion rights, Democratic women wouldn't have to talk about it so much. We thought that shit was settled in the early 70s, and the right keeps bringing it up.
In my opinion it's slacktivism at its finest. You can make a grand statement that you're NOT GOING TO TWEET FOR 24 HOURS OMG. And then what? The douchebag threats will stop because the people sending them were so sad you didn't log on? MySpace didn't become obsolete because a group of people took a principled stand.…
Yes she received a bomb threat, but Laurie Penny won't know true terror until someone calls her "meh".
People are "dealing" with this on an everyday basis. For the most part, people can handle it fairly well and it is completely in their right to not be happy about it on top of that. The social media sites where these attacks are happening need to be better at monitoring their sites and immediately removing threats. I…
Wait, somehow I missed all this money kerfluffle and I'm getting so many mixed signals from Britain right now. Put Jane Austen on the money? DEATH THREATS. Kelly Clarkson buys her ring OMG SOMEONE QUICKLY PLEASE DON'T LET THIS TREASURE LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
What is it about women saying we deserve equal rights to men that turns some people into rage-filled maniacs? Am I missing something (I mean besides a penis)?
No, don't you see? That's their "freedom of speech." But apparently you don't have the same right to reply with your thoughts/opinions on their speech. B/c that's a right reserved for entitled douchebag bros, clearly.
I kind of feel like, when your big love song to a non-white woman ends with you threatening to "send her back" if she doesn't love you, you should be careful accusing other people of not giving a fuck about other people's feelings.
"nothing is right, safe, nor sacred"
Too bad the following statement can't automatically appear every time someone opens the browser of their choice:
"Keep in mind that freedom of speech does not mean freedom from criticism or freedom from consequence. If you communicate something offensive and/or stupid, people can, will, and indeed should point out your…
There's been a lot of nasty things said that I'd rather not repeat about us
