True colors from a probable rapist.

Birds of a feather really flock together, don't they?

I’ll admit that it would be easier to take her seriously without the hats. 

 

But, that has nothing to do with her being a woman. 

 

And....Donny JR is an idiot. 

I agree, I don't get the hats.  The same can be said for the former Milwaukee sheriff (I can't think of his name and don't care to look).

Sports, the great unifier: 

Pro/anti-Trump people coming together around the things that are precious to them.

 

[BigRedBuster]

Wow.....it’s always interesting when people write a tweet like that claiming someone else needs “psychiatric and psychological”  help.

Good read.

That whole exchange with the children was something to behold. He has no idea how to talk to children (or anyone for that matter).

Yea, my goodness  

There was a tweet that had the video of it, but I couldn't find it earlier to post.

WARNING: It's going to make you feel weird.....

Every interaction Trump has with anyone makes me feel weird. He's just got a very odd dialect and word choice. I'm thinking some of it is age-related... if you watch clips when he was younger, he was much more articulate and coherent sounding. Now it's like he's grasping for the right words but can't find them, so he just wedges whatever is available in his limited RAM into sentences and they wind up sounding not quite right.

 

I'm assuming some of it also stems from the fact he's spent his entire adult lift talking to most people not in a peer-to-peer sense but more frequently in a boss-subordinate sense.

Trump with children is very Dwight Schrute esque.

Thread on Matt Taibbi. Oh, man. Read in full.

A very interesting read in Harvard Business Review ... net net is it's bias not behavior.

Sexism is a real thing.

 

"Mansplaining" is a flawed concept.

 

Those two ideas aren't mutually exclusive

An interesting take on the phrase 'mansplaining.'

 

Quote

One of the problems with simplistic terms like this, however, is that their ease of use and humour risk diluting any message. They become an easy-to-mouth solution for a more complicated problem, and this one quickly took on more pejorative meanings. It became a go-to phrase for mumbled or garbled explanations and the trump card in arguments, but this sort of overuse just desensitises us to the real issue which is that, yes, some men really do talk down to women.

 

Quote

It reeks of gender essentialism – the idea that specific physical, social and cultural traits are native to a particular gender. It may be satisfying, refreshing, even empowering, to give men a hard time, but I can’t help imagine how I would feel if faced with similar accusations – “womanterrupting” or “womansplaining” for example. It would be degrading.
