I hate him, but how did Trump not win this round? Mueller basically said the President is above the law. This isn’t him pissing his pants in fear, it’s him realizing that he doesn’t need to bother with any of this bullshit. He’s not terrified. He’s beligerant.

I agree with your thoughts on the term. Even though I benefit daily from being a white male, I never feel privilege unless I stop a moment and think. Life is hard and I work hard and the term feels like it negates the work. The concept is real, and I know that.

Reading your comment, I was reminded of a conversation I had recently with my parents, both in their 70s. I teach a college-level course that addresses, in part, the bias in IQ tests, and I made a remark to them that some of the students might find it odd to have someone who has benefited from white privilege discuss…

Yep. And people on keto cut all that crap out and suddenly find they feel better and are losing weight. It’s a good thing, but it’s not because your liver is producing ketones - it’s because you stopped cramming poison down your hole, and for probably the first time in your life are aware of the macronutrient value of…

History books. I want to see what future history books will contain.

They have lost tremendous credibility since that day in November, 2016, that I came down the escalator

Hell yes. These are KIDS. These are CHILDREN. They wouldn’t be calling a 14 year-old boy an “underage man.” They’d be calling him a 14 year-old boy.  Epstein is a child rapist.

We see this a lot too from the media/politicians as well through the lens of “non-consensual sex.” There isn’t sex and non-consensual sex, there is sex and there is rape.

Whenever someone points out that my son looks exactly like my husband I respond ‘at least we know they transferred the right embryo’. Maybe I should stop saying that.

My instagram post about getting married got 50 more likes than my post about graduating with my doctorate, so I feel this so hard.

I’m pregnant and I feel that way when people congratulate me. It’s not a master’s degree, lots of ding dongs get knocked up.

You know, sometimes I think about how exciting it is that I get to marry my partner soon, when it would not have been legal at all a handful of years ago. And that I get to legally call her my family, and imagine us growing into sassy weird old ladies together.

Right?! I am happily married and love to belt this song out because her attitude is just the best. She is fun, she is powerful, she is strong, and I hope she never stops!

I don’t vote with my vagina. It’s not a magnet that automatically connects with other vaginas in the voting booth.

Nevertheless, she persisted...

I’ve never liked Sanders but ever since he entered this race after Elizabeth Warren I have a visceral hatred of him.

He is correct that people are only preferring her because of her femaleness and her fresh youthful 69 years (the oldest woman running?) Not because of any intrinsic virtue of hers as a candidate? For real?

I haven’t quite nailed exactly what it is that makes me not on the Pete bandwagon, but I think it’s this : He’s a young white guy who is just smart and charming enough, and has been on the fast track to success his whole life, so he just assumes he can skip past all the intermediary steps it is supposed to take to be…

I lost a friend because she started shilling Arbonne hardcore. She first tried to swindle me into going to one of those recruiting parties, but she phrased it as “ Would you come to a party thrown for me to celebrate my new job?” As a good friend does, I said of course! It wasn’t until we were on the way to the…

This is the perfect time for Jezebel to do a long piece about how MLMs prey on vulnerable women in the name of feminism and financial freedom when the reality is it sucks them dry and leaves them friendless and poorer than they started out.  It’s so gross how MLMs work and what they do to people.
