Liberal white men are the least willing to examine their own sexist bias. Their “I would vote for Elizabeth Warren” is the new version of “but I have black friends so I’m not a racist”.

The most dangerous time for a woman (or man) in an abusive relationship is when they leave, because that is when the abuser feels like he is losing control over her (or him).

I also feel like schools should be required to teach children about domestic violence and how to deal with it (the signs, the patterns, how to get help) as early as Junior High School.

Guns are the most effect weapon to kill another person with. If they did not have a gun and had to rely on a knife or a car, while still not good, it often gives victims a fighting chance.

And inevitably a man will post a comment diminishing women’s fears. Which has already happened on this thread. A while back I posted that exact quote in response to yet another story of a woman being murdered by her SO, and a man had the absolute audacity to comment “yeah, but being laughed at by a woman is a bad…

You ooze weakness, dear. Overcompensate much?

And then during your annual evaluation, you might end up getting criticized for “looking tired” when you are tired because you have been WORKING FOUR TIMES AS HARD AS EVERYONE ELSE. Just makes me angry!

Bingo. It’s one thing to support a candidate because they are the most liberal or perceived as “anti-establishment”, it’s another thing to recast the other democratic candidate as a Bond Villain. Coupled with the fact that electing Hillary is basically like an Obama third term, but not a one of them would dream of…

I like the idea of naming a cat after famous courtesan. Cats kind of behave like a mercurial and hedonistic version of a courtesan.

Interesting. Is it Irish?

Shameless Panda-ering, that’s what that is!

Adorable! Is Phryne pronounced like “Friend” without the “d”?

Also, I would suggest making a burning effigy of The Art of the Deal but that might just end up selling more of Trump’s books, and of course, Trump would see it as a complement as narcissists are so effing clueless when they are being mocked.

Can you say “zero chemistry”? It’s kind of hilarious.

As a woman of color I WILL focus on gender and race and sexual orientation. Why shouldn’t I? It’s not like white cis men give a damn about women or minorities or LGBT. The explanation for white men feeling disenfranchised has been addressed before. It’s called outsourcing, which started in the 1980's. The truth is…

Oh, now you just made me want to cry! Let’s drop The Art of the Deal on them instead, shall we?

Yeah, I will repeat, you are overestimating the ability of working class white men to see beyond their prejudices and sexism and simplistic tropes. I already explained why Elizabeth Warren would have as much trouble as anyone else in getting through to them as she already has when she ran for Senate. But sure,…
