I admit, as a white woman, I had a really strong negative reaction to reading "the problem is white women" [Disclaimer: the tl;dr of this post is not 'stop being mean to white women']. I absolutely understand that white voices dominate feminist discourse [along with like all the other discourses], and that there needs…

I don't want to dissuade you here, because you bring up an interesting discussion. What I would caution, however, is that the consequences of capitalism you are referring to are more accurately described as monopolistic incentives (i.e., power entrenchment). These are things like barriers to entry and collusion.

They want to be able to cry at sad movies and enjoy the company of children without getting the side-eye, but they don't want to let go of male privilege. That's why they come up with shit like "healthy masculinity." Which makes as much sense as "healthy femininity."

There's a difference between capitalism and greed, capitalism and the kind of structure that requires Max Win Alla the Time.

I'm a landlord. You don't get more oldfashioned-capitalist than that. The Game requires that I screw tenants to the wall, maximize profit, and use profit to buy more rental units and screw more…

The most ironic part about that is that the guys who are deeply invested in the MRA movement tend not to even be what would in a traditional patriarchal context "successful" or "alpha". They're not winning at their own game.

Agreed. Expecting women to sacrifice time and energy we very much need for ourselves to fix men's problems for them is toxic masculinity. I'm happy to be supportive and be an ally to men who recognize patriarchy as harmful to them and are working to change it, but they're going to have *gasp!* actually do the work…

I agree that patriarchy is very harmful for men too and it's something that needs to be changed. What I don't like is when people say or imply that feminists are the ones responsible for fixing it. A real men's movement (not MRAs obviously) that focused on this without throwing women under the bus or failing to…

They do. MRAs complain bitterly about men being expected to be tough and emotionless and in the same breath refer to men who try to ally with feminism as betas and manginas.

If the MRA's didn't have their heads up their own asses, THESE are the kinds of things they should be talking about.

I doubt that was the way it happened. More likely humans realised the parallels between a calf drinking milk and a baby, and when mother mortality was so high, someone made a last ditch effort to save their baby and it worked. There is evidence it (milk drinking) developed in multiple locations at different times.…

Do people still do that? Geez folks: you will not get fat from apples, squash and lentils! That is not why you are fat!

No, no, I disagree with this entire article except for the bukkake part. That totally looks like models blasting semen out their lower orifices.

I know a lot of people opting out of milk because of the industry and additives, and this idea that we're the only species that drinks another species' milk (in addition to this happening in human-free nature, just go to any milking barn with a cat and you will see that this is not true). People get phlegmy and sick…

Coca-Cola presents its new premium milk product:

Ok but why did the nameless cataleptic rag doll need to be a woman anyway? I don't understand why we need token gender diversity in crappy self-published rape fantasies.

Someone needs to check this dude's basement.

On Gawker this morning they mentioned that he also wrote a book called Rag Doll. Here's the summary on Amazon:

Actually, there were some likable characters this season. Bad stuff happened to them, but there were some definite good guys like Kit, Grace, and Lana. I don't want to watch Girls because it's about spoiled rich white people, which is a group I don't care about and who I don't want to hear whine.

Thanks for stopping by to tell us how cool you are in the douchiest way possible.

My relationship with that show is complicated. But part of what I really love about it is that below the surface, it's really more about real American horrors than anything. The first season dealt with infidelity, death of loved ones, school shootings, etc. This season deals with (well, every crazy ass thing, but…
