Well, you know, they are Jews!

I know it would have stopped the current fighting and the deaths by Israeli attacks of anymore innocent Gazans. Do you ANYTHING about Hamas? Do you ANYTHING about the past ceasefires/peace agreements? Maybe reply with an answer to why Hamas not agreeing to the ceasefire would have been better than them not agreeing…

Exactly. I think everyone here should take a step back from the Judith Butler and reread Said's Orientalism.

Also, they try to look like ciswomen and there is nothing wrong with that. There are many different levels of being trans. The frivolity that is being directed at them for looking like "real women" even though they are trans just highlights the internalized misogyny inside of the queer community. News flash: not all…

Yes. We are using them as props to express our moral superiority and show off how many books we have read or what we majored in in undergrad.

Who cares? If academics who read Judith Butler are outraged, why would the individuals, the actual underrepresented people's opinions matter?

Because that won't sell magazines. It's that simple.

Congrats! I'm glad you don't equate Zionism with Judaism, but you are not me and you do not speak for any other member of our Ethnicity. The assholes in France know exactly what that word means, so do people who frequently, when talking about Israel in a negative light, use Jew/Zionist/Israeli interchangeably. I…

but a sane person would, based on a few tweets produced by idiot attention-seeking teens who will shortly be forced to join the IDF because of the vagina they came out of and the viral spread of social media, conclude that all Israeli civilians think this way and are therefore legitimate Hamas/Terrorism targets??…

They're not posting stupid shit on twitter.

Ahh! so you meant #freegazafromhamaswhowontagreetoceasefiresandyettheworldcontinuestoblamethejews/oopsImeanstIsraelanyway????

Do you condemn Hamas for not agreeing to a cease fire already agreed to by Israel and brokered by Egypt? That would have stopped the current slaughter against against Gazans who you apparently care so much about.

They still have to have suffered "harm" (aside from the trauma)—like loss of hours or being fired to make a claim...

Yeah. If you are trying to win a lawsuit.

I agree with you, was just curious since you brought the word transvestite up, and I've heard people try to claim that word [when used in a specific context] as an offensive word. It seems to me that in all this talk of semantics people sometimes forget that certain words actually have specific meanings. Obviously,…

Uhhh: You are the one who is contributing to oppression. But keep justifying it. Again, you brought her religion up outside of context, and are justifying it to me post-hoc. Would you tell a black person that something they said was racist wasn't? So don't try to tell me what is or is not Anti-Semitic. Go look at…

Just a reminder to everyone out there who's bashing her for being elderly or old: you too will one day be an "old." And if you are a woman, you will be an old woman, or as someone so eloquently put it below, an old C***. I say this as someone who's 30.

If somebody is an asshole. They are an asshole. The comment she made made her an asshole. None of those references [elderly, woman, Jewish] have anything to do with it. If they do please enlighten me.

I do.

Well, as writers on a site that influences young feminists, they have a responsibility. This same issue happened with Audre Lorde and the Britney comment. Not everyone is currently a gender studies major at liberal arts college (i say this as someone who once was).
