Women cannot be equal participants in a society that views sexual assault and sexual harassment the way Donald Trump and his defenders do.
— Kirsten Powers
Men don't sexually assault women because they are lustful; they do it because they want to dominate, humiliate and abuse women. They do it because they view women as objects.
Did you know there is a war on women? Yes, it's true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts.
Within the paradigm of Democratic politics, even though people probably think I'm a centrist, I'm more a liberal, except for abortion.
White women are themselves oppressed and that they would therefore be able to align themselves with other oppressed people.
In our pugilistic take-no-prisoners era, preaching grace toward those on the other side of the political fence is decidedly countercultural.
Women likely are rejecting Trump because they know the presidential race isn't just about taxes or ISIL or immigration. It's about their place in society and how a Trump presidency would drag women back a half-century.
It's time for some equal-opportunity accountability. Without it, the fight against media misogyny will continue to be perceived as a proxy war for the Democratic Party, not a fight for fair treatment of women in the public square.
If conservatives are so concerned about black-on-black crime, it is concerning the only time I hear them talking about it is when they want to stick it to the black community.
I'm a registered Democrat, I've always been a registered Democrat, only ever voted for a Democrats.
I think we have to remember that the white patriarchal system actually benefits white women in a lot of the ways and they're attached to white men who are benefiting from the system that was created by them, for them, and their fathers and their husbands and their brothers are benefiting from the system and so they are also benefiting.
Hypocrisy, something Jesus railed against, has become perhaps the most prominent feature of the religious right in the Trump era.
In Trump's mind, women derive their primary value from how they look, which is probably why he owned a major beauty pageant for so many years.
Chris Matthews's sickening misogyny was made famous in 2008, when he obsessively tore down Hillary Clinton for standing between Barack Obama and the presidency, something that Matthews could not abide.
Domestic policy, foreign policy, I tend to come down more on the liberal side.
We need to get beyond the stereotypes. Palin has been cast as a right-wing nut job in the media, yet her actual record suggests something more complex. She is a Republican who made herself the enemy of oil companies in Alaska.
If you support somebody who does racist things, that makes you racist.
Because most journalists are secular, they can be gullible in looking to the religious right as arbiters of biblical interpretation, especially as it relates to hot-button cultural and political issues.
