Bless my soul have I got a story!
John Oliver actually did a really great segment on this. I had no idea either. You should watch this.
“I once met a lass so fine. She was dunk on barley wine. I’d been at sea for months a three. I knew I could make her…
SOCIAL JUSTICE GIVES ME A REAL FUCKING BONER, OKAY
They decided they wanted a white man to help a black woman over the wall to take down the flag as a symbol of race relations and fighting against oppression and how allies should behave, assisting but not silencing black voices.
This woman is glorious. The picture of her, triumphantly holding up the flag while she is still up towards the top of the pole, needs to become iconic.

Girl, please do not let this nutter be the reason you alienate all allies because I think they’re important. I still want men to support the feminist cause just like I want to support minorities in their struggle. To me the key is letting the oppressed group do all the talking. In my opinion allies are ONLY there to…
In my opinion, ethnicity isn’t something one can really move in and out of physically or mentally.
Forget the ridiculous third reason for a moment. Why do there seem to be so many otherwise intelligent people who don’t seem to understand that the vast majority of the time it’s not appropriate to act on your sexual impulses? Literally everyday of the week I work with and walk by women that I am attracted to,…
