So. This is one of the most well written things I’ve ever read here. My heart is rebroken yet again for all the dead girls and their erasure. I will add it would be good to see even more discussion of what happens when it is a white, blonde, pretty woman and/or when it is woman of color. Because that narrative is

Women of color are feminists and share when this happens, and some WWFs (woke white friends) do, too. That’s the basis for #sayhername. In the popular media, it’s all blonde, straight, middle-class, christian, white girls. In feminist social media, like twitter, etc, we get more representation of all kinds of women.

We all know that (white) feminism has, both historically and currently, a problem when it comes to race. It larelgy fails to address the interplay of racism and sexism in our culture—both in terms of their interaction between black women and black men and white people in general, but more specifically, white women, as

The Internet of Dead Girls

In the industry of internet writing, certain truths become doctrine: Anger is effective, outrage more so, and dead

Did he just pull a “Do you know who I am?” when his “claim to fame” is killing an unarmed black teenager?

At least SJP is no one’s role model anymore, so who cares what stupid crap she says?

Seriously? Screw you. I’m not generally abusive to anonymous people online, but what a shitty, dismissive thing to write. Transgender youth suffer from a high suicide rate for a reason. Lack of acceptance and discrimination play a major role in that. This is about far more than one person’s bladder. It’s about civil

I enjoy how, when it was pointed out that you were using the correct pronouns in your original post, you doubled down and began using incorrect pronouns, presumably because you are a huge gaping anus who somehow gained the ability to type.

And you’re not aware of the universal journalistic standard which states that you always use someone’s preferred pronouns and stated name? Do you also have to “investigate further” by “reading other articles” every time you need to know what 2+2 is? Do you just make assumptions about what color the sky is, and pray if

Starred because I want everybody to see how you’re so desperate to spew ignorance that you took a tongue-first flying leap down here to the comments and didn’t notice that the article is about a male transgender student.

I have nothing but irritation about this. This poor kid. WE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM PEEING!!!!

Lol, a part of the criminal justice system not working speedily? I agree, veeeeery suspicious.

I agree that we need to wait for all the information to be in, and I’m not giving them the benefit of the doubt. However, you can’t do the opposite either. You can’t just assume that the official story is a lie. There are times when the police lie but there are many when the official story turns out to be absolutely

OR: Ghostbusters is good because well written, Suicide Squad is bad because poorly written.

I think what’s mostly being said is that Suicide Squad ain’t good because it features women that are basically objectified in every scene, or punched in the face and choked.

But you can have a violent, over-the-top action movie with a cast of sadistic characters where the narrative isn’t sexist (female characters are written as fully-rounded characters, the evilness isn’t predicated on sexist tropes), and where the plot is engaging and the jokes are funny? Nothing about “violent criminals

And then she made fun of millenials, and asked you to come over and fix her wi-fi.

I agree. But he wasn’t suspended for sexual assault. He was suspended for sexual coercion. Which is not illegal, but can be against company or school policy, and result in being fired or being suspended.

I’m convinced that many people do not believe writing is a real job nor do writers’ words deserve copyright protection. I’ve had so many people tell me something along the lines of “I can’t believe you get paid for that.”
