Not to take away from his feminism but I’ve always found it funny how straight men approached Prince. Hilton Als, for Harpers, did a write up about Prince that I think everyone should read (link will be below quotation).

To all the guys who go around swearing they’re feminists, take some notes. This is how to be an ally.
Would be hilarious if she picks all female candidates for all cabinet positions too, and we get an Administration of the Valkyries.
Getting Warren as VP would be pretty smart...it would secure her left flank and make sure the progs go vote in November and dont stay home and pout and whine on twitter.
I can’t believe I’m defending Leonardo DiCaprio, as I love mocking him as much as the next person, but there is a weird obsession in the media with his dating life. Who cares if he’s into young supermodels? He’s the one that has to endure conversations and listen to Mark Anthony with them, not us.
That one got an aggressive eye-roll from me too. Besides the inherent idiocy of assuming people who are “old” (god seriously, 40 is old??) can’t use the internet, it has this terrible taste of diminishing older feminists into confused soccer moms who are bad at technology or something. Maybe there is a reason all…
I can’t stop saying this! I support Hillary but never say anything negative about Bernie because I don’t want to poison others against him should he win the nomination. Why is this so fucking hard to understand?
He’s been asked over and over again. He replied with basically “my wife does them so I can’t”
JFC. Democrats are being handed this election to them on a silver fucking platter, and they want to set it on fire. Support your candidate, don’t denigrate the other, and whoever wins the nod, vote -D. It’s really not that fucking hard.
I do love a millennial who thinks 40 years olds are so old we don’t know what the internet is or how to use it. (do they not teach the history of the technology in school?)
I find this to be really frustrating. Of course, Garland isn’t the most progressive pick; in the current political climate, where even this moderate nominee is unlikely to get a fair hearing, a more progressive candidate would especially be DOA. Obama was/is being a savvy politician by offering up a qualified…
I met HRC once, on my 21st birthday. I was working at a Clinton Foundation fundraiser at the Museum of Natural History in NYC. They hadn’t told us anything about how the Clintons would enter and I just assumed they would come in the back through some super secret door or something.
This would be quite effective were it not for the fact that “women: you have to treat them like sh*t” is the subtext for the entire Republican party.
Jeez Corey. Don’t abuse women from Fox or Brietbart.
“That’s shocking and something I would have never expected”-no one ever
Yeah, I’m seriously grossed out by the people who keep commenting on iterations of this story to suggest that this woman would obviously prefer a biological child to her adopted children. Two of my closest friends are siblings from a family in which the children, in order from oldest to youngest, are adopted,…
Margot Tenenbaum, is that you?
How do you feel about Eric Garners daughter stumping for Bernie? Or is recruiting those affected by violence only ok when it’s the candidate you like?
Or maybe these mothers (like the mothers of the dead children of Newtown, CT) are trying to change our sick world and know that working with lawmakers is a way to bring attention to their plight?
It’s a huge blind spot. Or a self-willed one? I don’t know that I have the right words for what it is. But you’re absolutely correct. I hate, in a way I cannot even describe, that all the shouting I do about feminist issues counts about 1/10 as much as if one man joins me. And we’re seeing all these women (who are…
