There is no need for the ‘again.’ Many of us lived through this in California.

Were women and people of colour the majority applicants for gun ownership, we’d see gun control/legal reform in a nanosecond.

I agree. And, while she’s intelligent in many ways, she’s incredibly gullible. She seems to have that “Goop” mentality of “This ‘expert’ is attractive and charismatic; therefore his/her opinions/treatments must be legit!”. From Dr. Oz to “The Secret,” she’s consistently championed pseudoscience and woo-hoo on her…

People, Oprah running for president is NOT a good idea. NOT. Like, at all. Oprah is a very smart, very kind person, and those are great leadership qualities- but that’s not all that’s required of a president. I have no reason to think that Oprah can create and push through an infrastructure bill. Or oversee the…

I get that, but are you in a position of power to deny employment / housing / college entrance?

But I’m so fucking sick of men that I’ve stopped liking drag queens because there’s an element of it that is men performing a man’s idea of what a woman is. And I’m just over men’s opinions of women.

But apparently no room for a suspicious eye toward someone who complains about a woman advocating for more diversity by pointing at her husband’s body of work instead of her own, while at the same time insinuating that McDormand should also be given the side eye on her Me Too comments just because she entered a…

You’re being completely disingenuous and argumentative to the point where I suspect you’re one of those trolls who’s paid in rubles to sow dissent. There are people like that in every marginalized group. Ajit Pai is an excellent example just off the top of my head. Ted Cruz is another. Paul Ryan is actually another,…

Of course she’s privileged, that’s the point. Do you not see how nonsensical it is to complain about Frances McDormand’s privilege when discussing inclusion riders, a tool that was designed to be wielded by the privileged so that they can use the power they have for good? They would be of no use if they were being…

I think you’re right that Frances McDormand should in no way be blamed for her husband’s filmmaking choices. I am curious what kind of conversation goes on at their dinner table, though.

I can’t decide which is more absurd, that you actually think it’s a good idea to suggest in the comment section of a feminist blog that a woman be held accountable for the actions/decisions of her husband*, or that you think being married for 34 years to someone you’ve frequently collaborated/worked with means you are…

It’s the same reason people like upskirt photos. The lack of consent and the victimization of the women is the whole point.

You can’t address the cultural problems in the military when an entire country indiscriminately hero-worships them just for signing up.

In my defense, it’s not like I knew about tattoo parlors when I was in fourth grade, nor would anyone have taken me to one to get my ears pierced.

Ru, for all his talk, rewards a very narrow interpretation of queen. Even queens like Sasha and Sharon are anomalous as winners. Michelle seems to judge along similar lines, though she tours with the queens and has a better familiarity with their art.

I feel the opposite and I’m probably going to have a different group of people come at me. But I’m so fucking sick of men that I’ve stopped liking drag queens because there’s an element of it that is men performing a man’s idea of what a woman is. And I’m just over men’s opinions of women.

I’m not sure they do leave their male privilege behind - at the end of the night they can take off their womanface and go home. And unless they’re naturally flamboyant or femme when they’re out of character, they can travel home a lot more safely than the women in the audience. I’ve never understood how feminist blogs…

Seriously? Jezebel just posted an entire article of a man bitching that a woman refused to give him more of her time than she chose, and refused to talk about certain subjects against her will? Then takes her agency away by insisting Big Bad Publicist wouldn’t let her when she clearly didn’t want to?

Maybe her publicist intervened because she knows that Jezebel is the exact kind of clickbait-y, opportunistic site (along with Splinter and, sorry to say, The Root) that would hope for Hendricks so make a wrong move or say something that can be misconstrued, and then have a field day with it by smearing her name…

Sorry you had to write this. Sucks that this is your job, etc. etc. etc.
