Why does this very simple and clear explanation of the group's mission downvoted to negative levels? Is anti-racism that out of vogue on this site? Edit: looks like it bounced back up, but still, damn.

The symbol perpetuated a continued trend of trans-exclusion, in your example it would be as if people selected to march under the symbol of crosses when protesting on behalf of all religions. I am astounded by the negativity my comments hav

You're not wrong, but there is more context. There is a near inexhaustible list of feminist art that defines womanhood as an anatomical feature or set of features, and seeing this March that is ostensibly for all women be so tone deaf

I and a lot of other progressives take issue with it because it is trans-exclusionary and continues the long tradition of mainstream feminist demonstrations or expressions being explicitly for a white, cisgendered audience. I think OP was b

That book reminds me of the deep ties between the mythology of science and the mythology of Christianity. It is argued that thr truest way to be a Christian in the classic sense is to experience atheism as Christ did when he was on the cros

Well I'm mostly curious at this point. The content itself was deeply researched and informative, nothing else seemed fishy on the page. What reasons would a webdev want to enable such a feature on a site like this? And no, I'm not

Hey, uh, why the fuck does this website want to send me notifications? That really makes me want to bounce from a page ASAP, especially one that is just serving up an article on the surface.

That white savior narrative is bullshit. No matter what Lincoln did, you will see a pretty strong trend of people who fly Confederate flags and what party they support... It also does not excuse or somehow counteract the last half century o

I think the fact that the Dems ran Clinton despite more support in key demos for Bernie shows that as of right now they aren't very interested in following data if it conflicts with their other agendas. If this trend continues and exte

My primary objective is to never normalize racism, no matter the context. I see it all the time here, and the subtle stuff constantly slips by and is given a pass. I don't care the community or context, this is never okay. All spaces a
