Well, whether they live in swing states or not they are about to get hard damn lesson in voting. So here are a few things to take away.

This is SUCH A RELIEF. I never realized that the strength that carried me through enduring a ruptured Fallopian tube means that I should have been shutting my mouth and stopping worrying about misogyny and sexism and all that shit. All the time I've wasted getting so angry instead of brushing it all off because I'm…
Having severe endometriosis, which included an 18-month stint of ever-worsening, constant pain, I can attest that I’m strong as fuck and will still throw my drink in the face of something talking shit about rape victims. Because I contain multitudes, goddamnit.
the false equivalency was nails on a chalkboard. thank you for saying something.
It reminds me very much of the “Well I’m personally just fine with it, therefore it isn’t a problem for anyone” blanket statements. It’s pretty myopic at best.
Having experienced both a burst ovarian cyst and a rape, I wouldn’t consider them to be comparable experiences. And I resent the fuck out of the idea that because I or other women have gone through X, I should be totally down with any jokes about Y. Maybe some people can. Others can’t and shouldn’t have to.
Did the mom at least give the new kid a chance? Maybe he was much better than her own kid! Upgrades!
Look, just because Baz Luhrman can make you want to fuck him DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING, THAT’S JUST THE CONTACT HIGH
Did you just call a 14 year old a serial groper? Only one person has a problem here and I don’t think it’s the little boy.
Shit, do we all have to publicly start apologizing for what little assholes we were at 14? This is going to take a while...
Madeleine forgot to mention that Emma is playing an Asian actress.
And the satisfied smile thing struck me too. Like he is happy to be getting on his hands and knees to pick up scraps. It just smacks of her saying he knows his place and it is definitely below her.
I read that dancer line and cringed worse than I had throughout the entire blatantly racist portion of her post, because it so just screams of fetishization and exoticism. She was probably 1 step away from saying “his natural rhythm recalled the dances of his ancestors on his native continent”
Yeah that part to me was the most cringe-inducing part of the entire article. Exoticizing his race Heart of Darkness style. Someone throw a pie at this woman.
Also, can we agree that the Southside Works restaurant where she saw the super hardworking black kid who was SO happy to serve all the white folks was definitely the Cheesecake Factory? That’s totally where she would go out to eat, because again, she’s awful.
I bet she couldn’t wait to tell that waiter how articulate he was.
That’s a tactic.
Bigots will always come up with new ways to be shitty.
Agreed. Major second hand embarrassment from a fellow yinzer.
As a Pittsburgher, this woman is completely infuriating. She had been posting holier-than-thou Facebook posts for a very long time prior to this incident, and I was happy that the station finally took action after this horribly racist and excruciating post.
