“How do we get male allies if we can’t trust men” - if the men get their feelings hurt or think they can’t be an ally because we don’t trust them, they’re not a goddamn ally. (I don’t mean to curse at you, just in frustration of the world)

Sometimes a mouthy feminist really does have to take one for the team.

My father told me he hopes my baby grows up in a world without sexism, and I thought, “Didn’t you fucking choke my mother?”

Wow. On behalf of that girl, thank you for looking out for her.

My rapist apologized for standing by while others said shitty stuff.

What is that quote? “We don’t need men in feminist spaces, we need men to take male spaces and make them feminist.”

Good god, yes. You should meet some of the men who work with me on sex trafficking issues, who just love to establish their street cred by slinging pimp lingo. But they’re doing it to protect us ladies, not for vicarious thrills, dontcha know.

And, if my anecdata from college can be trusted, approach every self-proclaimed male feminist with a healthy dose of skepticism, as they have a nasty habit of mansplaining feminism to you and/or using it as a buzzword to try to wheedle you into casual sex with them. (Because if you were a good feminist, you’d be…

men can be feminists, but don’t trust a single fucking one who makes a living off feminism.

I for one am shocked, shocked to hear that a serial sexual harasser was being employed in this *squints* “liberal American magazine of commentary on politics and the arts published since 1914"...?

The NYPD says that the only shots fired were from police; the suspect had an “imitation firearm” but not the real thing (now reporting that it was a BB gun and a paintball gun). Multiple reports confirm the suspect is live and in custody and at the hospital. Hopefully his sorry ass survives so he can be prosecuted to…

It’s the diversion he has been seeking, all morning!

Cue Trump making an inane, stupid and insulting tweet in 3,2 1....

They’re both on the same submarine and while she dies of carbon monoxide poisoning  he remains hale and hearty enough to chop her up? Sounds very likely.

I mean, when I’m tootling around in my little sub and a reporter who’s on board drops dead OF COURSE I dismember her and dump the body parts, duh! That doesn’t make me a KILLER.

Apparently, ex-coworkers said they witnessed him watching videos of women actually being killed very similarly and he talked of where is the best place to hide a body, BUT THEY JUST LAUGHED IT ALL OFF.

“I’m sorry if my actions upset the pie.”

Maybe something just fell on it! Or a bird swooped out of the sky. Or it might have been God. But not me, that’s for damn sure!

That defense actually worked for Robert Durst. He said he didn’t kill a guy but he did dismember the body and dispose of it. You know. For reasons.

I used to be someone who had a bleeding heart and open and (I think now) naive take on many criminal behaviors, until I was myself a victim of a violent crime. Until then I didn’t have the experience or the capacity to understand how people squirm and lie and tell stories in retrospect to make accommodations for facts…
