In reply to the discussion: Shailene Woodley: Why I’m Not a Feminist (Time Magazine) [View all]bettyellen
(47,209 posts)152. Yes, apparently we should not comment when we hear RW sexist drivel here...
Or else we're intolerant.
Fuck that, I am intolerant towards RW idiocy, especially here where it should be laughed off the board instead of treated with deference.
