“My kid wouldn’t BE in that situation, because we raised him/her the right way”

Because men—especially old white men in positions of power—are not used to having to think of women as human beings first, rather than spank bank material? I think most of them have learned that they’re not supposed to sexualize and objectify women, and understand that that means they can’t just grope and proposition…

This is too exhausting.

“I’m not one of those women who believe rape victims are at fault because they dressed too provocatively or misled some randy guy into thinking it was his lucky night.

—For a man to openly reject a woman because he found her fat would be social suicide.—

Are we actually going to start asking men to start questioning their preferences? Because from what I can tell, most of the pressure to do this is put on feminist-leaning women. So far, I’ve been told that it’s not reasonable for me to want a guy who has a job or a college degree or who doesn’t live with his parents,…

Yeah no...the civil war was actually about ethics in gaming journalism so this wouldn’t work at all.

Hey, hey fella...there’s this thing that’s been invented...it’s called a library? Since as you and the MRA terrorists pointed out there is also a stream of academic research called women’s studies – I know this is incredible – there are many books and scholarly journals that can educate you about the patriarchy,…

Sorry, in discussion with adults I don’t usually define terms as though we’re all brand-new to the world and unaware of the myriad issues that MRAs claim to be concerned with while actually focusing their energies on excoriating feminists. It’s okay. You’ll learn to keep up or go back to the kids’ table.

OMG OMG LINDY! Yes, nails it.

when did Dice Clay become famous?

I rarely say this about people. But she deserves all the bad karma that is heading her way right now. That video was so mean and vicious, it actually made me cry. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. And like so many women with the disease, I struggle with my weight. It’s like I woke up in a different body. I went from…

Guys don’t “just” do that, they’re socialized to do that. That’s really important. If you’re told over and over in a million little ways that your opinion is important and worthy of being heard, and that what women say is basically inconsequential, it’s going to feel natural and normal to dominate conversations and…

*Women. You work in an office with mostly women, unless some of the aforementioned coworkers are in fact from other, non-human species.

I don’t believe anyone is twisting his words. They’re untwistable.

This also links back to the argument made against the “Millenials are lazy!” bullshit. I’m a Millenial. The government had targets to get 50% of the nation’s (UK) young people into university, so they shoved everyone in with promises of higher paid jobs if we did and scare tactics of unemployment/shitty jobs at…

YUP. Basically from day 1, the American economy depended on some people being at the bottom and some people being at the top, and a tiny, tiny amount of mobility but only for a small group of folks. There will always be jobs at the bottom and people working them.

Is there some afterlife reward in the bible for this kind of act we don’t know about? 72 Nascars or something?

“My religion” — “I’m not even religious.” Holy cognitive dissonance.

GOD. He’s not cool, he’s a god damn POPE. POPE’s aren’t cool, they are the head of an incredibly harmful religion which through forced conversions, has managed to spread all over the world, supplanting native cultures and religions on 5 continents. I hope shit like this makes people stop calling him “cool”.
