I’ll explain why J**** fucked the women;s feminist web. I’ll point and laugh and why pop-culture was a codeword for desperation but right now the truth …. The reason I am MOST MOST angry about recapping 2008 in 2011 is
because I’m not ANGRY!!!!

Cryptic thing that must be said
They ENJOY this. Take whatever phrasing you like , but at the MEAT AND MARROW , please understand they enjoy being able to say who or who does not fit , who gets to talk who is ” valid”
They enjoyed it when they were ” young” ( all older than me now about 5 years ago) and they now will flip it to enjoy it when their ” professional”

You are right, BA, but they are just never going to do it.
Or, they’ll do it, publicly, with a lot of pomp, circumstance, and handwringing about how hard it was to reach this decision—but then a few months will go by, and they’ll “forget.” Or they’ll let a guestblogger have a “whoops!” moment, then post a half-assed “sorry!” that makes damn sure to remind everyone how great...

Except Caperton and EVERYONE ELSE You do. Be as sarcastic ( and frankly rude) as you wanna be but that entire long winded apology means nothing if you don’t ” ban ” him. If you don’t emphatically say this is wrong what he did and is doing is WRONG. Your using your flowery hem and haw words on him , and your sarcastic venom to women asking a VERY REAL QUESTION.

i’m saying it here instead of feministe, because it will never be heard there.
i just hope that people don’t depoliticized WHY mr wound himself up a prominent member of the online feminist community. it wasn’t simply that people didn’t know about him and one day he wound up being all the head of the world...
Dear Jill Filipovic
shut up.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.
You are honestly DISGUSTING to me. I don’t say that lightly or flippantly but you honestly DISGUST ME.
You can with a straight face and clear conscience talk about rape culture and openly champion A RAPIST and call it a mistake
You can not for one MOMENT SHUT UP REFLECT AND STOP before doing whatever you think is newest coolest and most AWESOMELY...

I can ignore you.
I can for the most part block you or avoid you.
If I am pseudonymous and reasonably good with protecting my identity , the average imposing ” nice white liberal”has no recourse against me.

It’s completely asinine. It’s not “all Black people”. It’s a very narrow demographic of Black boys and girls. Regardless, anyone who has been to an HBCU knows that being fashionable (or at least attempting to be) and being excited/thriving at college are far from mutually...

I swear, black women are the only group of women it’s acceptable to diagnose with a widespread attitude problem and ugliness (a subjective sexist & racist diagnosis at best) and then give that as a reason for everything from the declining marriage rate for black women, black men not feeling like men, to black children not having daddy’s.
