NOTES FROM THE RADICAL MARGIN: “STOP THIS TWO-PARTY MUSIC!” OR, “WHAT HAPPENS AT GEORGETOWN PREP, STAYS AT GEORGETOWN PREP”.

That is to say, he affirms the trend already set by a court which had pronounced Bush to be the “elected” President in 2000, and had decided that corporations were people just like us, and so on.
A Nation of Men and Women, not Laws
Submitted by arendt on Tue, 12/19/2017 - 3:48pmAs a longtime leftie, I despair of the deliberately self-defeating tactics the so-called opposition is using to get rid of Trump: "blame Russia" and "Me Too".

A. lapse in recollection
or
B. somewhat startling contemporary obliviousness
exhibited by a whole lot of people with respect to "norms" of social-sexual behavior, and especially, what those norms were back in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
So here's the thing.
Submitted by Shiz on Sun, 09/11/2016 - 9:28amI have been really bothered lately by some diaries and comments posted on this website. This diary is an attempt to reconcile my discomfort against the backdrop of what is happening in these diaries and comments that is so upsetting me.
So.
What has happened to feminism?
Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 05/12/2016 - 5:56pmA couple months ago I spotted this video and something about it struck me wrong.
I know it was supposed to be something to do with female empowerment, but it just didn't feel right. I couldn't put my finger on it.
