Can I add that I think you're a really attractive person? You're really beautiful, Lindy. I can tell you're also a strong person, so I hope these comments roll off your back. I know that if under any circumstances they had been said to me I would be hurting none-the-less.

I'm actually on your side on this one. Watch the earlier season's and the racism is implicit, and it works to show how horrible the characters are, which is part of the joke. However, in this season it's relentless and explicit and also, contrary to just the Bluth's being racist, those of other groups seem to be…

Yeah I have paraguard. The whole deal freaks me out a bunch, especially with the heightened chance of pelvic inflammatory disease. I am only 25 and would like to have children in 5+ years and don't want that compromised because of this implant.

I had an IUD inserted a year ago and this is my monthly experience exactly. Ugh.

In my experience, being gay does not automatically rule out misogyny by any stretch of the imagination. I know some really misogynistic gay men.

Nope. Not how power works. Men who resist women in positions of power are sexist and need to be told that they are. However, it also has to be communicated that their actions stem from cultural conditioning and that complicity with patriarchy does not automatically make you a morally deficient person, and that men…

Amen sister.

I agree. So can you, and other men like you. I hope you will.

I mean, that's a vision of equality I hope for everyday.

Because this is all about power. Women have been told that their power in life is relegated to the domestic sphere, it makes sense that when that power shifts a woman might feel defensive because it's the only power she's ever been given. However, that's kind of theoretical, this woman sounds like an incredible…

To be honest, one of my main criticisms of feminism is that it fails to include men where they need to be included. This is tricky, because women's voices need to be heard and people speaking for us has been part of a paternalistic and patriarchal legacy that we want to shake off. However, I think the reason people…

Sure that crosses a line. That's putting other peoples bodily autonomy in harm's way, and alienating men from a movement they should be part of. I would say that that is anti-feminist, because that in no way leads to anyone's liberation, freedom, or equality- it just increases fear and hurts people. You providing…

I didn't say that, I said that many people who call themselves feminists do not understand how male-bashing is anti-feminist.

Stop being divided about it would be a start. A cultivation of self-awareness of certain privilege would provide space for the voices of those who don't have that privilege. And also we need to get rid of the notion that just because someone has privilege doesn't mean that they're not still negatively affected. I am…

But that's not feminism. Some of the women I know are the most anti-feminist people I know. The idea that men can't keep their hands to themselves (even around small children) is part of rape culture, which is part of patriarchy. To say that it is not in a man's control is to be perpetuating those stereotypes. Just…

The woman who freaked out over men doing bathroom duty at daycare has internalized the patriarchal values that tell everyone that it's not a man's place to be with children/that children are only safe with nurturing mothers etc. The same reason my boyfriend (kindergarten teacher and nanny) gets weird looks from people…

I just realized that maybe you were making that point.

First of all, I somehow doubt this was written by women. Second of all, one does not take on the role of 'wife' by being relegated to the cooking and cleaning. THAT is sexist.
