- 14:22 @Macker We have some other wacky stuff that you would know if you watched The Daily Show. :-/ Our extremism is famous! [in reply to Macker] »»
- 14:21 @Macker In my state (MO) bills are advancing making it okay for folks to refuse to prescribe or sell contraception to women. Extreme. [in reply to Macker] »»
- 14:19 @Macker Not individually - a composite of society. Now we see an effort to control what the tide of progress is already pushing forward. [in reply to Macker] »»
- 14:15 @Macker Life is good.Been thinking about how an upswing in intolerance/rigidity might be indicator of later openmindedness.That helps. ;-) [in reply to Macker] »»

- 23:03 @mfollett one looks at what power means and the interplay of dominance. Never as simple as Man vs. Woman. One reason I liked Scalzi's essay. [in reply to mfollett] »»
- 23:01 @mfollett If feminism critiques male domination then these&other voices (sexuality/race/socio-economic) help critique feminism. [in reply to mfollett] »»
- 21:12 @mfollett But useful - also intersectionality. »»
- 21:11 @mfollett http://t.co/iKepmRPw Feminist theory - somewhat obscure term. [in reply to mfollett] »»
- 21:08 @mfollett @scalzi I think it could help folks understand. Now write an analogy for kyiarchy! ;-) [in reply to mfollett] »»
- 20:34 I needed to read this today.A geeky guide to understanding privilege. http://t.co/7wFTSBVT The comments are even great to read! Yay @scalzi »»

- 15:22 @jbminn It must not be obvious to everyone or we'd be in a different place. :/ [in reply to jbminn] »»
- 15:13 @gatewaygroupie It'll probably be solved by a perl programmer. I get tired of people telling me perl programmers suck it. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»
- 15:12 @gatewaygroupie That is why the commerce of creativity often makes sad.When we as a society measure success by profit we all lose. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»
- 15:11 @gatewaygroupie Yes. But there might be some Tesla type developers out there who love poetry. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»
- 15:06 @gatewaygroupie Really? That is really interesting. Spacing as issue in the tools for e-publishing. Makes sense. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»
- 14:58 @gatewaygroupie @UnclePilot The relationship between creativity&money has always fascinated me. The commerce of art sometimes depresses me. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»
- 14:52 @UnclePilot @gatewaygroupie Hard not to internalize those definitions but I think it is important. [in reply to UnclePilot] »»
- 14:51 @UnclePilot @gatewaygroupie I'd add to your plan a redesign of what success means. Don't make it be just about fame or money. [in reply to UnclePilot] »»
- 14:44 @mfollett @heathborders But it is awesome to read, Matt. Please don't stop. [in reply to mfollett] »»

- 19:41 @Patricialicious And not just the public was excluded - Democrats were as well. That is amazingly arrogant. http://t.co/jjqjth6V [in reply to Patricialicious] »»
- 19:38 @Patricialicious @teamtilley The public gets excluded when our legislature is dealing with controversy. THAT IS DEMOCRACY. #MOLeg [in reply to Patricialicious] »»
- 19:19 @staceynewman I especially like being called hysterical. Women get that way you know - especially when they aren't behaving. [in reply to staceynewman] »»
- 19:16 @MOLeaderJones I'm not hysterical. However, I am asking you why the public was kept out today. [in reply to MOLeaderJones] »»
- 19:00 @Patricialicious Working on my anger management skills in the face of mind boggling legislative actions. ;-) I live in Missouri I have to. [in reply to Patricialicious] »»
- 18:57 @Patricialicious Fascinating, isn't it? Actions speak louder than words. [in reply to Patricialicious] »»
- 18:49 @sarahfelts Regardless of how I feel abt Rush (trusted news source,really?) The banning of the public from a public event says a lot. #MoLeg [in reply to sarahfelts] »»
- 18:43 @PROMOMissouri Wonder why the public wasn't invited. Bet the chances of a unanimous standing ovation might have been limited. [in reply to PROMOMissouri] »»

- 15:13 @GeorgeReese @MichaelDell @Dell Oh I couldn't agree more. I am amazed at the hamfisted handling. Once again, "What were they thinking?" [in reply to GeorgeReese] »»
- 15:12 About Dell: MT @gigastacey Corporate support of a noted misogynist tarnishes the brand.-- > Oh, indeed! »»

- 15:35 Sexual predators and deviants have always been linked. Proper gay behavior (marriage) is more palatable. »»
- 15:34 Legislation about "sexual impropriety" should help us see links between racism and women's rights/queer rights. »»
- 15:03 @threefourteen @kschabooya Gender issues permeate our system but you are right some guys have same issues. Like exception proving the rule. [in reply to threefourteen] »»
- 15:00 Every time I think I am just stating the obvious with my rants on race/gender/class someone proves it still matters. »»
- 14:56 @KBestOliver Happy Mother's Day, KBO! [in reply to KBestOliver] »»
- 14:53 @threefourteen Even believing they are worth as much. Internalized gender roles/behaviors are hard to overcome. [in reply to threefourteen] »»
- 14:52 @threefourteen Oh it for sure exists and that influence is very real. Thus my followup tweet. [in reply to threefourteen] »»
- 14:50 @threefourteen But it is cool to see new approaches. [in reply to threefourteen] »»
- 14:49 @threefourteen Hard to separate that from external and internalized gender roles/expectations. [in reply to threefourteen] »»
- 14:49 @threefourteen I think it often comes down to the individual, the ability to negotiate and the perceived value. [in reply to threefourteen] »»
- 14:45 @threefourteen Really interesting thoughts this morning. [in reply to threefourteen] »»
- 14:43 So while it is awesome that the President supports marriage equality I am also upset about the payday lending practices in MO. »»
- 14:42 I'm suspicious of "identity-based" organizing/politics.Coalition-building across ethnic/socio-economic/religious lines is more powerful. »»
- 14:39 Ignoring the intimate relationship between race/sexuality/class condemns us to political failure. »»
- 14:38 You quit talking to me but this is something I've been thinking about for a long time. @LindaHirshman1 [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»
- 13:49 @LindaHirshman1 Many of the troubling laws in MO come from a world view that is frightened of losing straight/white/male privileged stance. »»
- 13:45 @LindaHirshman1 In Missouri we have a Lege that is going after gay people/women/poor people all at the same time.Hard to miss the links. [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»
- 13:43 @LindaHirshman1 I think ignoring those similarities lessens me and my argument. [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»
- 13:42 @LindaHirshman1 I see connections between prejudice against women, racism and prejudice against queer folk and the poor. Less jargon there. [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»
- 13:38 @LindaHirshman1 We've seen a lot of change in the last 100 years. Not enough, and more is coming. But we have to see the connections. [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»
- 13:32 @LindaHirshman1 Also, I am not talking in big words. Pretending I am speaking in jargon is not cool. Snark is not necessary. [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»
- 13:30 @LindaHirshman1 If we don't see the connections/interplay between racism/sexual opression we miss out on how to make those gains we want. [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»
- 13:30 @LindaHirshman1Your vision of feminism is narrow, by design. It also ignores privilege of white middle/upper class. That troubles me. »»
- 13:04 @LindaHirshman1 I am suspicious of a feminism reducing value to "earning power" and one where women reduce child-rearing as less important. [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»
- 13:01 @LindaHirshman1 For me the point is to understand power relationships in society in order to work toward more skillful/equitable systems. [in reply to LindaHirshman1] »»

- 14:51 @gregorylent There is a lot of scholarship available on intersectionality/critical theory/feminism. Important voices. [in reply to gregorylent] »»
- 14:43 @gregorylent one can define sin as "missing the mark" or or not attaining the possible - which is not a bad definition of ignorance. [in reply to gregorylent] »»
- 14:42 @gregorylent I don't follow how you are using intersectionality. And I don't speak in the language of sin often. [in reply to gregorylent] »»
- 14:33 If we don't appreciate the intersectionality of many issues (race/gender/sexual oppression) we'll miss the point. »»
- 14:25 Intellectual Cagematch: Audre Lorde vs. Linda Hirshman. We should have learned these lessons already. »»
- 14:23 @aimeett @shelbyknox Why does Hirshman get any press? What a narrow entitled view. We really are living the past again. [in reply to aimeett] »»

- 18:55 Whatever construction/manufacturing is going on in the distance sounds remarkably like a herd of elephants trumpeting and charging.Surreal. »»
- 18:52 @gatewaygroupie True that. And the world might be a better place if people edited more often. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»
- 18:50 @gatewaygroupie @jessluther One does wonder what the logical conclusion to the crowd-funded fad might be. Perhaps we can crowd-fund lives. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»

- 00:52 I crack me up. »»
- 00:51 @Roseyland @gatewaygroupie Q (queer) is more of a catch-all term. It can (for some) additionaly include others like S/M, or poly folk. [in reply to Roseyland] »»

- 00:15 @gatewaygroupie Lots of the historical discomfort toward gay folk has been redirected toward trans folk - even from gay people. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»

- 00:13 @gatewaygroupie Agreed I won't get married even if it is legal. That is not our thing, not really. But it is common ground w/straight folk. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»

- 00:04 @gatewaygroupie So much prejudice about trans folk and non-monogamy&gendered stereotypes. Plus links to racism and socioeconomic issues. [in reply to gatewaygroupie] »»

- 22:41 Just like the history of homophobia, plenty of the American history of racism is a crusade against deviance. Forces of normalization. »»
- 22:36 @Patricialicious Bam! You said it. ;-) [in reply to Patricialicious] »»
- 22:35 But we need to recognize our shared struggle&confront our own inner prejudice& the behaviors that keep both groups separate and unequal. »»
- 22:33 That is not to say that all oppressions are the same. I do not want to conflate black history and gay history in America. »»
- 22:30 Fighting amongst ourselves to win scraps of equality does no one any favors. We need to understand we are on the same team. »»
- 22:29 We want to purge society of "the lesser other". The lesser other wears many faces. »»
- 22:28 In fact, I'd go so far as to say that racism, sexual oppression, and discrimination against the disabled, and the poor are all linked. »»
