@spikedonline You're late to the party. Feminists celebrated Lorena Bobbitt. They celebrated Valerie Solanas. Many of them believed and defended Jodi Arias. They still defend Marissa Alexander, despite substantial evidence that she was shooting to kill and that she was the violent partner.

Can anyone explain to me why the old blue check system can't just be, adjusted and monetized? You prove you're the owner of the account, and pay a monthly fee for the blue check. Ditch the "active" and "notable" requirements, and just keep it to "authentic".

" #MyWhitePrivilege " Trends on Twitter Dozens of mostly *women* tweet about being able to get away with egregious behavior, attribute it to *white* privilege. Meanwhile, the gender justice gap remains 6 times wider than the gap between blacks and whites...

Just got home from the store, and I swear to god, when I become prime minister of Canada, my first act will be to pass a law requiring training and licensing of citizens before they are allowed to use the goddamn self checkout.

I'm not a feminist if your definition of feminism includes beliefs like this. This is not a representation of reality. This is a profoundly distorted schema caused by either trauma or ideological extremism. It must be terrifying to live like this.

@rebeccasbrain @mentalenviro @Andrew_Denney @hughriminton @FRNSW @7NewsSydney Thank you! I was just about to say that. What the hell do these people expect? Just witnessed someone getting stabbed, took it on himself to help subdue the perp at risk of his own life, and we're going to criticize him for not being polite enough in the aftermath?

@CHSommers Why would @bigthink not have glanced at the fine print at the bottom of the graphic before posting this as fact, rather than as the politically motivated, amalgamated opinion piece it is? Also, how many times is this baseless graphic going to be posted before people learn?

If coupled men are not doing what they themselves want re work/life balance and time with kids, perhaps they're doing what their female partners want? So, what happens when they stop doing what their partners want? Hint: ~70% of divorces are initiated by women.

@AOCpress Uh... the suspected cause of the fire is *essentially* an oily rag left by construction workers. Not the hot hot heat of the sun spontaneously igniting a stone building. Moral of the story: 5.2k Twitter users who liked this are 1) stupid, 2) bots, or 3) bought.

I still love my dog, just fyi. After I hit the ground, she was super concerned and upset. Just doesn't know her own strength (and she's an incredibly strong dog). Other than cosmetic stuff, I'm fine.

@CurtisScoon @thenation That woman is insane. For every other mammal, motherhood is a natural and inevitable biological process rooted in evolution. For humans, it's capitalist exploitation. Mmkaaayyy...?
