Wait, what? Are you seriously conflating pointing out a hilarious but clearly unintentional Google glitch with those who stubbornly cling to an antiquated and racist symbol as though they are one and the same? Can you please look up the definition of ‘false equivalency’?

I just watched Citizenfour (I mean “just watched” too, I finished less than an hour ago) , and it was stomach churning.

I’m not too bothered or discouraged by any of the particular comments, just that everyone took my original comment as somehow trying to focus things on men’s issues. I think feminism should be about women’s issues first and foremost, and probably secondmost as well.

Thank you, TheGreatMango, don’t worry about me, I’ve

jeez, how is what I said “what about the menz”? I’m the villain here because it breaks my heart that more men don’t see that men’s and women’s issues are all related and that no social injustice is an island? I wasn’t criticizing this article, not one bit. I wasn’t criticizing anything or anyone, I was voicing my

Then isn't it kind of double ironic because the ladeez are saying "listen to us because your words / actions are making us feel this way" but then a man says the same thing and it's kind of like "whatever, let's spell men with a 'z.'"

Sudeikis is the one that looks like a loan officer, Hader is the one that looks like he’s still figuring out what he wants to do with his life, but in the mean time is trying his hand at being a loan officer

Sux to your asmar.

Fuck Me - saw a woman today using a stroller to walk her fucking pet RABBIT.

I guess the #notallwhitepeople thing is like the #notallcops thing right? It got turned around every time a cop did something illegal that got caught on film to highlight that maybe #notallcops but it seemed like #prettymuchmostofthecops.

No when men come onto an article about women’s issues to derail it by complaining that men have problems too without every really backing it up with evidence or actually wanting to talk about solutions for this issues they get responded to in that way. It’s the same when commenters go to articles about police violence

Men do have problems too; once again, just because something is worse than this situation does mean this situation isn’t bad.

No, no one is saying that. Once again, some things are worse than others but just because there are worse things doesn’t make it ok. Is that hard to understand? really?

Dismissing someone’s complaint about their civil rights being violated by the police based on their race and income? And making up excuses as to why the youth deserved the treatment they got? Fascinating...

So you’re saying that because she’s rich, it’s not a big deal that the cops acted out of line and mistreated her? Cause she can just go back to her nice apartment and go to brunch?

But on one hand, isn’t that a bit similar to the argument that trans women aren’t “really” women because they didn’t experience the same struggles as cis women? Aren’t both race and gender both socially constructed and, therefore, fluid?

I don’t think Rachel’s story is an example of a truly trapped person, but...

I will give Jezebel credit on their headline, calling the film a “Disturbing Sex Tape.” It’s fascinating what other media outlets have referred to it as. Some have completely avoided the elephant, to use the metaphor you had used earlier.

People’s headline was probably among the most milquetoast ever: “Columbia Student

I agree with pretty much everything you wrote. I think she has done a disservice to the movement, and Gawker’s silence with regard to this video is strange to say the least.

But it is a hardcore video, in the literal sense of the term. It depicts oral sex and penetration. It also employs the hackneyed porn trope of featuring an actor with a large penis, which has the effect of turning the film into a prurient one. And Great Mango is right to question whether Sulcowicz is now doing a

LOL, of course not. You will see no mainstream criticism of Ms. Sulkowicz anymore.
