i think you best bet is multiple sources. for me, it’s a combo of a bunch of stuff and then books bc of my studies (i am getting a phd in history (african diaspora, with a focus on 20th century transatlantic lusophone exchange) and have an ma in latin american studies). in terms of papers/magazines/blogs: the guardian

haha i don’t know if that exists. i have authorship rights on the salad bowl, but i don’t share my comments elsewhere there. i feel like they would be redundant sometimes bc i feel like the level of engagement on issues of race, class, ability, sexuality, etc, at the salad bowl differs from that which i see here on

i mean, i don’t want to make any assumptions about the person with whom i am engaging right now in terms of his/her racial background, but yeah. it goes back to the “white feminism” issue (which i am using here not just in reference to white feminists, but in terms of prioritizing a certain set of interests over

i mean, i am seriously not trying to nitpick, but i think even that line is worth further discussion. “traditional” women’s issues for some women was/is freedom, for other women it was voting, for other women it was a right to exist without war, for other women it was about job discrimination...i mean, women’s issues

??? I believe women (everywhere) should be equal, have equal access to resources, and equal opportunity, making me a feminist. war very much limits such rights. and i think that leaders who are female should also be accountable for decisions they make that endanger other people, including women, an important point as

sure

i do, actually. it’s not like you can read my fb feed or anything, but there is a lot there on drone strikes and bellicose foreign policy decisions that are detrimental to well, everyone. i have been ardently anti-war since i could talk (in addition to other things that relate to real equality and and to u.s. military

and here’s another piece, written by a feminist, about why war is a feminist issue and why it is important to consider the affects of u.s. military imperialism on women abroad:

i am not sure why you would think my encouragement of a more intersectional feminism would be “trolling.” also, i am talking about “domestically” in terms of u.s. vs. the rest of the world, not the household.

when i heard albright’s statement, i agreed with her. there IS a special place in help for women who don’t help each other...very special indeed:

i would argue that the question “which women” is pretty significant here. perhaps they have done that to a large degree domestically speaking (though even that is worth some examination), but i am sure women in countries torn apart by wars, sanctions, and political instability that both clinton and albright supported

not quite. income inequality, student debt, police brutality, racism, war, limited or no access to health care, and an overprioritization of corporate interests over human ones *ARE* women’s issues. it’s not that one of the aforementioned items are somehow separate, particularly as they often manifest more intensely

by showing how* limited...

someone, go get your girl...

and as i already said, they are more than welcome to stand by their desire to support her. but i will not. they don’t represent me, nor does she.

wow. way to be incredibly condescending. i am a black woman. i vote on the basis of a variety of issues - domestic and international. i respect their right to stand behind whomever they like. but just because 170 black women in office support her does not mean that clinton is the appropriate person to represent my

ignoring all the issues about this woman, this show is totally something i would watch. i watched kelly cutrone’s show kell on earth when they added it to netflix streaming like my life depended on it. it had less than 10 episodes and was not renewed for subsequent seasons on bravo (sad freaking face), but i feel like

you are speaking to someone who knows clinton’s record very well. all the issues i cited above are based on a lot of research. while i appreciate the link, and find the ontheissues to be a great site for learning about the candidates, it does not give a comprehensive view of what she has done to our detriment. if you

exactly.

cute haircut! stupid words. add that to the other pile where she threw bisexual people under the bus.
