Pffft.

The Right will tell you that talking about slavery is racist because it puts all White people in a bad light.

Good article. Doubt it's nuance will ever be understood by those that wield 'believe all women' as a weapon, though.. Because as with the article, nuance takes a long time to explain, and we live in the era of the short attention span.

If you were as aware of the "nuances" as you claim you'd be noticing the difference between the actual phrase, "believe women" and "believe all women" and asking yourself why the author both isn't aware of it themselves and has decided to resurrect this talking point during midterms.

Uhh what are you talking about.. The (long) article is about how "believe all women" is a right-wing invention, predominantly used by detractors of feminism, and that "believe women" is the genuine leftist/feminist phrase, and discusses the difference between the two. My comment was that it's a good article but that it may not be heard widelt due to the complexity and nuance of such a discussion and people's short attention spans.

And then here you go.. clearly not reading the article, and complaining about it and my opinion on it.

Way to prove my point I guess.
