Plz God why is Nikki Haley already campaigning. This is (fairly) live.
If George Bush and Satan had a daughter.
You know it’s bad when CNN is stooging for her.

@chayykay @Am_Yisroel_Chai I was discussing girl boss with someone and they said, Why does a woman with significant professional success call herself a girl, a child? It’s a silly name. I guess it’s ha ha, a woman can do things. Feminism is too old for this “chiddush.”
@chayykay @Am_Yisroel_Chai It is an insta thing and I think part of it goes hand in hand with #selfcare which is: you feel guilty because you know you should be taking care of your children, we will cheer you on to overcome your guilt.
@chayykay @Am_Yisroel_Chai Don’t know what your own baby looks like?

People who can pick their own 6 month old out of a lineup are either woefully neglecting themselves or aren’t changing the world selling diet pills like you do. đŸ’ȘđŸ»

I can’t help but feel like holding up a literal princess as an icon of feminism and anti-racism isn’t a *great* look for socialists.
I get that we all feel bad for Megan because of how badly she’s been treated, and people are right to call out the double standards, but the challenges she’s facing are literally a million miles away from those of the vast majority of women.

#girlboss feminism is not the one.
How about we centre the struggles of the women working for these women - often with terrible pay and conditions - instead? bigissue.com/news/employmen

đŸ§”About the “professional women” who determined this election narrative. Can we please not. Two reasons
(1)
It credits a dominant strain of corporate feminism in Australia for this outcome that, in my opinion, has been complicit in the lost decade we’ve just seen in relation to gender equality. (2)
If the voters of Australia have seen for to turf out the Coalition and their “Lean In” faux feminist mantras (just have a look at their #GirlBoss women’s budget statement) we should likewise turf this out from our feminist discourse. (3)

I spent a decade in far right media. The way Ketanji Jackson is being treated is both predictable and sad. A thread
The far right perceives Judge Brown's reticence to define "woman" as some radical departure from reality. This is a game the radical right has effectively deployed for years
Ketanji Brown Jackson should be applauded for not lowering herself to the far right's political "gotcha" games.

Oh wow, encore une hit piece pour démonter un média féministe qui tente de faire progresser nos luttes dans le contexte d'une société capitaliste et ses violences intrinsÚques. Soufflée par la violence du scoop.
No offense aux consoeurs qui ont bossé dessus et bien évidemment : toute mon empathie et mon soutien aux personnes ayant souffert dans leur expérience pro. Je ne peux que compatir, et ce n'est pas le sujet dont je parle dans mon tweet précédent.
Dans le contexte d'une sociĂ©tĂ© capitaliste, les violences du monde du travail sont systĂ©miques. C'est vrai pour une usine de montage, une rĂ©daction, un magasin, une start up, etc. Pas les mĂȘmes violences et pas les mĂȘmes niveaux, mais toujours de la violence professionnelle.

She’s ignoring the fact the 1954 coup orchestrated by the CIA with the full backing of the president and Department of State that allowed the US to install dictators led to a genocide against the Indigenous people the US is so concerned with now along with a 36-year civil war.

This same coup led to the US installing dictators that led a genocide against the Indigenous people that Kamala and the US govt is so concerned with now. And they are funding these corrupt leaders now with millions per year.
Thousands of Guatemalans have died because of this.

People really need to start talking more here in PDX how the idiotic and thoughtless use of the word "femme" in place of woman is leading to actual discrimination, especially including housing discrimination towards gender non-conforming women.
I see a ridiculous amount of posts in the various "queer" housing groups on facebook saying they're only looking for "femme" roommates, like a woman having a short haircut and button ups makes them dangerous or predatory to have in the house.
This just seems really fucked up and homophobic to me. Butch women aren't any less of a target of misogyny or homophobic violence than you are.

How do you react when you put out a great piece of content and someone only comments on your looks?

My take is to block and without a big fuss 1.) If they don't value my content, they don't deserve my next piece of work. 2.) I conciously choose not to... 1/
@AcademicChatter
...draw public attention to it because it'd look like part of me wants their intellectual approval

I know it is controversial but I feel that public shout-outs make women look a bit insecure

If someone does not value my content, it is their loss, not mine. 2/
@AcademicChatter
Having said that, I do not judge other women who have different approaches.

I post this to add to the discussion, so that we can find the best approach possible.

So, more power to all women kicking butts every day.

I consider myself one of them ;) @AcademicChatter #girlboss

Hillary Clinton & co will whine to their graves about how their careers were ruined because mean non-hundred-millionaire people didn't know their place and insisted on having demands
Listen tiny brats I'm extremely important to history and unbelievably wealthy and your needs and hopes to live a better life out from under the thumb of the people I hang out with at parties are just very rude
I remember Bethany in 2016 saying "I'm supposed to believe a former Walmart board member somehow represents me?" but she mostly kept it to herself because she got a lot of shit for not being inspired by Clinton's #girlboss-ness
