23. Okay, I had to laugh when I saw this.

I just was at a panel that featured Carlos last night, and I was going to post about a couple of things he said in regards to women in this group today His anti-racism was inspiring, his attitudes towards women's role in the struggle...not so much, in my opinion. Not terrible, but not great, either.

Got a poster for the event with that picture on it signed by him, though!

[seabeyond]

24. ah. so disappointing. not surprising. i stand with him though, in his fight. nt

[F4lconF16]

25. As do I.

Being a member of one minority certainly doesn't preclude you from having privilege in another area, though.

And that whole MRA thing? Once they gained traction, people immediatly recognized them as psychotic assholes.
