Actually, your utter ignorance is exactly about privilege. You have had the privilege to not have to know. I know because her work has been used against me. She has been claimed as an authority to convince my sisters that I am to be hated and shunned and vilified. I can’t not know. You can. [...]

Really? Again? You’re celebrating the anniversary of when the feminist blogosphere poured forth eulogies of Adrienne Rich that ignored her virulent activist transphobia? Cis feminists did a pretty lousy job of listening to trans people on the issue then and you clearly didn’t learn anything then that you felt compelled to apply to what you [...]

Really? That’s what we have got? I’m concern trolling because I disagree with you, but I’m not an out-and-out troll because what? I must be pretending to have an analysis and pretending to be a leftist and a feminist, because I disagree with you about guns maybe?

I really like this post. I think it is important to talk about the dynamics of violence and what can actually be done to change them. While guns are implicated in how violence plays out, they are not the cause. The causes are far more complex than an object. While the NRA may spout their [...]

So, as someone who has experienced life with hormone balances in the “normal male” range and the “normal female” range, I can posit authoritatively: Nuh Uh!

“Male bodied” Really? That’s some ciscentric shit right there.

Fewer guns just isn’t likely to happen, for a variety of reasons. I generally feel that when people propose additional limitations on (legal) gun ownership and sales, they are ducking the real issues of violence. The simplistic gun lobby truism that criminals don’t obey gun laws is actually true. On the other hand, creating economic [...]

No.

The taxpayer dollars talking point? NO

Go read a book, or even the article you are commenting on for that matter.

You may notice, at the linked map, that Canadian gun ownership is lower than US gun ownership, but by nowhere near the factor that US gun deaths exceed Canadian gun deaths. Numbers of guns may be a factor, but not a numerically significant one. Calling for the ban of guns is easy, and actually solving [...]

Well, this is as good a time and place as any to say it: Thanks for all your hard work, sis. It makes a difference.

It should be noted that there were a couple of online petitions urging Wrigley and Mars (the owners of Skittles) to use their power as trademark owners to seek a cease and desist order against the marketer of these targets. The influence of those petitions on the discontinuation of sales of the targets is unclear. [...]

I don’t disagree with the good things you say about her, but I don’t think that your brief sentences about gender essentialism and pornography begin to scratch the surface. She also helped Janice Raymond to write The Transsexual Empire, one of the most viciously transphobic and transmisogynistic screeds ever put to paper. With Rich’s help, [...]

Thanks, sis.

Money is speech, but not tents.

I wonder if there is some other mechanism of pleasure at work here, or if this is just a case of OMG! LUBE ROCKS!
