The reason women are critiqued for being too loud or too meek, too big or too small, too smart to be attractive or too attractive to be smart, is to belittle women out of standing up publicly.

The goal is to ‘critique’ into submission. & That applies to anyone challenging power.

Stop infantalizing white men and pathologizing black ones.

Kavanaugh, accused of attempted rape, was 17: Trump defending his “very special” guy.

All of the Central Park Five, accused of rape, we’re YOUNGER than 17: Trump said he hated them and called for their execution.

It's telling that resentment towards wealth in sports is always directed at black athletes and not the vastly wealthier franchise owners.
