It’s not about blaming her. It’s about the instinct to avoid assigning any responsibility to her at all. Taking ownership of her part is not about blame. She is not responsible for the racist cops. She is not responsible for the narrative that primes women to believe in the big black male rapist, that hypersexualizes…

“Ms Sebold is now not only having to contend with the fact that she had a part to play in sending an innocent man to jail for nearly two decades.“

The premise that freshly traumatized 18 year old Ms Sebold manipulated by the racist police and racist justice system is valid. But for decades, she knew she was not sure. Yet, she let that discomfort go unexamined. She ignored the disturbance in her survivor narrative through her book deal and was prepared to see…

Without gun control and a cultural shift in the attitude to problem solving by guns, we are all doomed to watch mass shootings helplessly. Until Americans stop turning to guns everytime they feel angry, depressed, uncomfortable, afraid, hateful, persecuted, hangry or just low blood sugar. This is a uniquely American…

10) Democrats allowed sentiment for RBG stop them from making it clear to her that she had to step down. We got those cool memes though. 

Emmett Till’s mother never got to see anyone punished for his murder and torture. Arbery’s mother gets to see the fuckers behind bars. As it should be. Next up, remove all the laws (like citizen’s arrest) and institutional privileges that allow white men to act as judge, jury and executioner in this country. So that p…

I guess we have Spanfeller to blame for it. Seems like Spanfeller is gutting their resources/staff. The long form abortion and pandemic’s economic impact on women has been pretty good. But over all, the whole site seems to have lost its spirit.

The general silence is weird. TV news was MIA on her too.

Yup. Harris is not their beloved Bernie or AOC. Fine, whatever. But, they could have written some critique of the agendas they disagree on with Harris. At least they would have done some semblance of their job.

Kamala Harris holds the highest office a woman has ever held in the history of this country. She has been in France (a major ally) all week engaging with Macron, one of the most powerful persons in the world. She addressed climate change, economic inequality, violence against women, election security and smoothed over…

That’s how I feel about Michael B. Jordan. The body is tight. But the face is uninteresting to me. He straddles the border of safe and adventure though. Idris Elba is undeniably sexy and on the “adventure” end. The above are the “secure” end of the spectrum.

There are many options to be unconventionally sexy for women. Cute girl next door, Jolie-laide, Quirky features etc. Emma Watson is not Meghan Fox but she probably has an hornier male fan base. 

Exactly. He doesn’t feel a need to be “edgy”. 

No. Life does not have to be weird. Let yourself imagine having nice things.

Charming, wholesome men are sexy. John Legend, Paul Rudd, Russell Wilson types who project security, safety. Ever wake up to a man smiling at you with kind eyes? Instant horniness. That shit is sexy.

Exactly. This is the natural result of a society that freaks out about pregnancy, miscarriages, pregnancy loss, and abortions(for when things go wrong and non-medical reasons)/. The culture makes the pregnant state very fraught. Scientists don’t want to get sued or be the face of whatever batshit crazy “baby killers”…

Yes I didn’t because he didn’t speak to my perspective. Which is fine. For people who claim others are too sensitive, y’all become real special snowflakes when randos say they don’t see the greatness of your king.

And if by some miracle women are able to overcome the above barriers, abortion by mail is only going to feed the culture of secrecy around abortion. This secrecy has often been deadly to women.

I have never found him funny, not even his Prince stuff. His humor definitely has a very “brostatic” audience. What is tragically funny to me is that he seems to think he does “speak truth to power” comedy, meanwhile his past and present work caters to the status quo. Whether he intends it or not. The results have…

The gag is, this is moral cowardice disguised as the last brave stand. DC is a multimillionaire living in a society with people who mostly agree with him. There is nothing risky about showcasing transphobia in a transphobic society. This is not honesty. It is just cruelty. Trans people should not have to be subjected…
