Behold! An entire corporate board of cynical bastards.
May âThe Marketâ unfuck them.
Thread. And a good portion of the replies:
Many media outlets referred to Epsteinâs victims, both acknowledged and newly alleged, as âunderage women.â The New York Times used the term. So did New York magazine. Jezebel counted 90 instances of it aired on broadcast news in the days after Epsteinâs arrest alone.
The phrase is wrong in every sense: There is no such thing as an âunderage woman.â Underage women are girls. But the mistake, repeated several times since July, has been in its own way revealing. It suggests an American culture that remains reluctant to equate the interests of powerful men and the interests of vulnerable girls. And it suggests an ongoing ambivalence about what it means to be a girl in the first place.
The underage woman exerts its errorswithin the same commercial culture that found Elizabeth Hurley, in 2012, selling a bikini set, tiny and leopard-printed, aimed at âgirls [ages 8â13] who want to look grown up.â It operates in an environment where school dress codes routinely punish girls for wearing outfits that are deemed distracting to male students. It operates in the setting the journalist Peggy Orenstein documented in her 2016 book, Girls & Sex âa work that details how many girls of the moment are taught, despite feminismâs alleged advances, to view themselves as sexual objects.
WTF kind of study is this?? Damn, that would be an embarrassment to have on your CV!
When you look at the chart of red flags for potential murders, the number one indicator is domestic abuse:
If youâre a dude against womenâs right to choose- you donât have to pay taxes.
So if I have a religious objection to the military, I donât have to pay taxes either?
What do you mean, thatâs not how it works?
Trump tries to make trans discrimination legal by getting rid of sex discrimination protections.
Seems like every day we get another turd from this fuck. Sometimes two or three. Every Goddamn day.

Good lord, what the fuck did I just read?
Iâve known women with more common forms of endometriosis and they were in debilitating pain and misery whenever it would flare up. I canât even imagine.
But hey, letâs all focus on how fuckable they are, right? #science
Welcome to being a woman in the medical system. Weâre never believed about our pain, weâre treated patronizingly by doctors (even women doctors who have internalized a lot of misogyny in school) and then get subjected to shit like this. Only thing worse than being a woman when it comes to the medical system is being a black woman, because medicine is racist as hell, too.
Just like the terfs wanted! /s
People need to realize that taking away rights from vulnerable communities will inevitably lead to the erosion of rights for all.
An excellent read on what Niemöllerâs statement actually signified:
Um⊠we should all be âalarmed.â
None of this shit thatâs going on is âokay.â
Thatâs just the one-box. The piece is about what Niemöllerâs statement really means.
