Jez-specific:

It’s a little more than “not exactly what happened.”

A guy got way too close for comfort behind me in line at the drug store and was CLEARLY checking out my ass, and then said “which one of your parents is black?” and I was livid so I said “WHAT are you talking about?” and he said “you look half black, you look good.” and I said “ clearly neither of my parents are…

Dude, nice try, but...no. Actual German person here and Merkel gets called out for her appearance ALL the time in the German media. Like, literally every goddamn time she is in front of a camera someone will call her ugly, frumpy, fat, old, bitchy, etc. And her clothing choices have been criticised from the very first…

That’s what I do too. I’m pathetically British about being rude, and I’m single. I get harrassed all the bloody time. It’s not like I even go to places where people go to hook up. It’s at work (I work in retail) and public transport. The default answer is “I’ve got a boyfriend”. Which is pathetic really, because do I…

Do you have evidence to support that, or is it anecdotal? As I said, I’ve been catcalled by ALL kinds of men. If you think it’s rare for a white man to catcall a woman or say something gross to her on the street, you’ve apparently never been on a college campus.

You can always tell who the white dudes are on the internet. They don’t understand why someone would get upset over something. Let’s just approach everything in a detached, rational manner. What they don’t realize is that it’s their white, male privilege which allows them this smug unemotional rationality in the first…

My first instinct is always to be like “I have a boyfriend” (even though I don’t) because usually guys will only back off when they know another man is involved (funny how that works). I do wish I would be more comfortable telling them off, but I usually just want to get out of the situation as quickly as possible. If…

Holy shit. That is GROSS. I’m also very non-confrontational so I probably would have done the same thing, although I’ve gotten a bit more aggressive after years of putting up with this shit.

I’m so sorry you didn’t get to enjoy the herons (that sounds super sarcastic but I’m so serious like god damn that is the simplest request just to enjoy some fucking majestic wildlife without some asshole spunking in your direction)

Lol, I don’t give a fuck about your “support.” You’re just another moron in the sea of white male assholes.

OMG. Yesterday, I was all bundled up in a big ski jacket (not the tight kind), wearing Doc Martens and a shapeless toque, clomping around the park near me. And there was this guy standing across a stream from me, staring at me as I passed by, wanking.

Wait wait wait, by virtue of being born a woman I take on the responsibility to not only work harder than men to achieve the same things, but also to put more energy than men have to into emotionally supporting every other woman in my industry who encounters gender-related issues? Otherwise I’m not a feminist?

For real? To be a feminist one somehow takes on the burden of putting one’s energy into every feminist cause, and you’re a bad feminist of you don’t? It’s the responsibility of women who are already putting their energy into gaining and retaining power in a male-dominated industry (energy that men don’t have to give)…

To the people screaming I don’t understand what’s so bad about saying to hillary that “having a uterus doesn’t qualify you for president.” Try saying to Obama “being a black man doesn’t qualify you for president.” See how fucked up that sounds? Because Obama got this far in our racist country in spite of being a black…

It was Warner Bros, but yeah. I even remember Prince posting an open letter to his website basically asking for Madonna to help him buy his music back from WB.

I’d agree if he didn’t have a history of ragging on her. He obviously has a problem with her personally so that invalidates his comment.

Yes! I thought this was so disrespectful.

It’s all so middle school and hating Taylor Swift is so in.

I wonder if it would’ve been included if he was calling out Beyoncé?
