I am a Bernie supporter, like I said, but I’ve seen a lot of the ‘Berniebros’ cropping up. And all though Hillary is obviously not my prefered candidate, she is a lot better than any of the Republican candidates. I don’t think people are voting for her based on her gender, I think they vote for her either because they

Well... I am a female feminist, so I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean...

There are some great people supporting Bernie. Totally. When I went to a rally in Boulder, it was tons of college students, old hippies and nurses and everyone was very friendly. But the ‘Bernie bros’ are just very vocal and need to take a seat

The weird thing is I went to a Bernie rally and he came off as pretty feminist to me. Like I was surprised because sometimes old socialists like him have some kind of regressive views on women, but he spent a pretty good chunk of time talking about pay equity, childcare, reproductive rights and etc.

Yeah, I’ve been noticing that and it’s really been pissing me off. Like I support Bernie, but I would be fine with Hilary winning. She’s not as liberal as Bernie is, but I like some of her policies.

I’m sorry, did you misread my comment? I’m not saying Barbies alone will give girls a bad body image, but they do reinforce our cultural standards of beauty (blonde, long legs, thin but with big boobs), which are very hard for many people to obtain. And they also reinforce the idea that being beautiful is important,

I think the concern is more that we only market one kind of ideal of beauty and that can mess with kids heads when they grow up. I had an eating disorder when I was younger and it wasn’t necessarily just Barbie, it was everything that was marketed towards me reinforced the same one ideal of beauty and that as a woman

That last paragraph was so real. Clothes that fit fine on me take a lot of wriggling and jumping around to actually GET on.

Didn’t Kim fight with him and call him fat a lot?

The first thing that came into my head were the books that came with the ‘Addie’ doll from the American Girl Collection (which were Actually pretty well researched books with historical notes in the back that I loved because I was a nerd).

Nothing, but let’s have some stories about black girls and their dogs!

She has GREAT taste in eyewear and done more in her life than I have. And we often talk about how important representation is in media aimed at adults, but it’s probably even more important in media aimed at children.

I mean, yes, it’s an act of heroics, but it is very random. He wasn’t really patrolling the streets looking for car accidents. If Foxx starts a pattern though...

Goddammit. Zac, shut up and just be pretty.

Good point.

Also, where is Idris Elba? Hasn’t he been nominated for Best Supporting Actor in almost every other major awards show?

Yes. Home ec is so important. Especially since a lot of kids are growing up with both parents working full time. Parents don’t really have the time to teach kids sewing and cooking and how to file taxes. (Not that filing taxes should be taught to kindergarteners, but in high school, yes). I’m 21 and so many of my

The sad part is that *originally*, Sanders was to nudge Clinton more to the left, but the problem was that what he was advocating (things like single payer healthcare) were really popular policies, and instead of embracing those policies, Clinton attacks them, and now Sanders is a serious opponent. Clinton needs to

So dramatic.

Ugh, sorry that you had to deal with a rude commenter.
