Seriously. Who gives a shit what Lena Dunham's childhood home sold for? How is this relevant in any way?

My abortion was that easy breezy, and I live in a western, Republican - governed state. My partner and I decided that night, booked the next morning, and while we were young and not financially well off, we put half on his credit card and half on mine. When it was over it was over. That was over three years ago and we…

Wait, I'm confused about the last paragraph. So she casually mentions abortion, which this site has asked for in media for ages - the ability to talk about abortion as a part of many women's lives without the emotion or drama that people assume come with it. So this show does it, and yet you complain that "It…

Kara, while the show sucked for the reasons you mentioned, why is everyone talking about how Ava DuVernay, didn't get nominated for Best Director, and not the fact that this was the first time that a film directed by a black woman OR produced by a black woman,got nominated for Best Picture? Or that the Academy asked…

"Not a single person of color was nominated in any of the acting categories of 2015 Oscars. There also wasn't a single female director, screenwriter or cinematographer nominated."

A hispanic/latino guy won best director/best picture, but I guess that doesn't matter.

I'll give Patricia Arquette a pass because she has always adverted for the LGBT community that she is very close to given her love for her trans sister Alexis. Plus she gives her time, energy and money to help out the people of Haiti by creating the Give Love foundation.

Considering that her sister is a trans-woman and she has been very active in the LGBT community, I really don't think her intention was to exclude anyone from the label of "women". If I say "all women", I certainly am thinking of more than just white ones. To me, she was saying all communities- including women- need…

i don't understand why we're bothering to pick apart the drunk ramblings of a woman in the heat of the moment. she was tipsy and just won the biggest award possible in her field while millions of eyes were watching. i'd be surprised if anyone manages to have a coherent thought on the spot after an event like that.…

Other then her being a white feminist, do we have a reason to not give her the benefit of the doubt?

I can't really get up in arms over this one, sorry. They aren't called 'boyfriend' jeans because the ladies who wear them are SO heterosexual and SO have a MAN they FUCK. They're called boyfriend jeans because unlikely traditionally cut, tighter women's jeans, they are looser and more relaxed throughout. Sure, baby…

I mean, yeah, I was quoting another post with that section, but yes it can be frustrating.

Nah, fuck that noise.

You know what I'm going to give her a big benefit of a doubt (and no, I'm not white so find a new argument internet snarks).

Women and gender were put into Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as an effort to defeat the act- the congressman who introduced it was notoriously anti-Civil Rights litigation. ERA, designed to…

Yeah, I actually am having a hard time with this one, because it feels like maybe a little bit of ignorance combined with some poor word choices.

I'm looking forward to your piece on how JK Simmons failed to acknowledge the existence of abusive parents anytime now.

See, I don't see her saying those things as being offensive but more of a united we stand, divided we fall. Support us and we will support you because all three of us have a common goal of wanting equality. We want the same thing, so we should be standing together. Women in support of Gay rights. Gays in support of…

I can see where she was coming from with that—there's a long history of women fighting for the rights of gay men, for instance, absolutely, and of them not returning the favor or caring one bit about how the -isms are connected.

Why why why why why do we look to actors and actresses to also be champions of political causes? Can we not idolise activists even if they don't look beautiful?

k this is seriously probably the fastest turnaround from "omg amazing" to "hard side eye" of a Oscar speech or possibly any speech in the history of the world.
