Is Piper really supposed to be the relatable one? Boy, have I been watching it wrong.

To be fair to them, you really never see feminists in-fighting. Ever.

Basically Hugo Schwyzer wormed his way into feminist spaces and used white feminists as a shield against criticism for his racism from WoC. WoC complained, Hugo blackballed and harassed them, and the WoC were labelled troublemakers for making a fuss.

And, if you find the tweets confusing (I had trouble sorting out who was an actual WoC, who was a white woman speaking for WoC, who was a white woman mocking WoC, and who were the pro-lifers), you can always go read longer form stuff by women of color, like at Womanist Musings and Crunk Feminist Collective, or follow…

Actually, it's in the queue for 6pm. Yes, should've been done sooner, you're right.

And even THEY managed to find time to cover #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen.

If I shave my legs and put makeup on, I will share the photos far and wide if I choose. That shit is rarer than Bigfoot.

It might have had something to do with being part of a big family. She was one of 11 kids, and I was one of 6. The only way you have a close family with that many people, which we still are, even as adults, is if you learn young to ignore those little annoyances. Then, when you're older, it's easier to keep the…

YES! How about you take responsibility for your own happiness, in flawed world, and they get to do the same! I imagine Joan of Arc or Hillary Clinton looking at a sign that says "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice" and rolling their eyes.

I kind of liked this one. I'm not into kids at all (just my nephew), but I thought this was pretty funny.

I went the total other direction. I got married in June and, in an attempt to save money, didn't get an official photographer. I let friends and family know well in advance that cameras were welcome and that all I asked was for copies of any pictures they took of the two of us, the wedding party, or the general…

Yes, the ones that are just nice pictures of the couple and perhaps their pets or existing children holding up a little sign or the pic of the ultrasound are tolerable. The "omg we're so funny/creative/special" ones just make me insane. Another popular one is to have the woman go pose by a "Bump Ahead" road sign. the…

I blame pinterest for this ridiculousness. Go there and search "pregnancy announcement". Oh those fucking shoe pictures are EVERYWHERE. It's all so lame. And I say this as a pregnant person.

Terrible thought: I hope that that's the pregnant woman's brother and not her husband.

You don't. Your spouse does.

You know, when I read the article and realized that almost all of the bridesmaids were young girls who were students at her dance studio, I actually thought it was a wonderful idea. What a fun teacher she must be!

"I would not be the least bit surprised to see her marching on Washington one day, hand in hand with Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn."

Nope, mine was guilt free. Right choice for me, and not even a hard one (aside from being quite expensive). It's hard for some people, it's easy for others. Everyone's a snowflake.
