If you are WOC (cis or trans)
I’m sure in your day to day life, you’ve experienced sexism and racism. I’m curious about something. Do you feel that racism is more prevalent in your life? Or sexism? Or is it a combination of both? Do you have any examples or stories you want to submit?

IT HAPPENED TO ME: I MET MY PARTNER AT AN ABORTION... →
The job of a clinic escort is to protect the patients by physically stepping between the protesters and the cars that are dropping the patients off. It’s meaningful, necessary work, and it’s also how we met.

So my birthday is on Monday
I’m taking the day off work. And since it’s during the 40 days for life, I’m gonna go volunteer as an escort for an abortion clinic. Usually I can’t cuz the clinics are far from where I live and I don’t have enough time to get there, escort people, then get to work on time…. I’m super excited. I can’t think of a better way to spend my birthday. Oh...

thecrazyassmagician asked: It would be easier to recall all the times Fox told the truth than the times Fox lied. I remember when they were the type of newscasters that reported a very misleading and outright false story in relation to one of my neighbors and would use the same "story" again, 6 years later, pretending it was new. Their trustworthiness has only gotten worse.

timetoputonashow asked: Another distinction: The Daily Show and The Colbert Report air on a channel literally called "Comedy Central." I'm pretty sure they are preceded by a show where an asshole comedian makes dick jokes about YouTube videos. Fox News anchors are on a NEWS NETWORK. A 24-hour television channel dedicated to providing NEWS AND INFORMATION to the public. *They* have a responsibility as...
modified-grrrl asked: "prove that fox is bs" Lmfao, how about you just turn on their fucking news channel and watch Bill O'Reilly or Glenn Beck for five minutes. They both shit more out of their mouths than their asses, I swear.
Anonymous asked: If they were holding you to the same standard that they hold fox news, they wouldn't be asking you to prove anything.
Anonymous asked: prove it. prove that fox is bs.
Anonymous asked: I kind of agree with you, but I'm not sure how a bias can be based on common sense and facts. So I'm not sure they are biased. (I'm not that other anon btw, I know how to spell "liberal" lol)
Anonymous asked: The times that they do take jabs at libers and atheists is far less than the amount of times they "poke fun" at Fox News. that shows there bias

Anonymous asked: Are The Colbert Report and The Daily Show any good? It sounds like pure liberal bias to me.
wolfennights asked: My mom watches Fox News, listens to Sean Hannity, and believes that "you choose your attitude and perceptions." and says I'm being confrontational anytime I disagree with her. It's funny that she would be against universal health care when I have loads of health problems.

-Spend your entire break waiting in line for food. No time to eat it.
-Start the late shift, no parking left. Spend 15 min break finding and moving your car. Still no time to eat.
-Computer straining your eyes. Make up time spent going to doctors.
-Read extensive email explaining new call center rules. Asked why you’re not on phone. Then reminded to read emails.
-Encourages diversity....
wolfennights asked: Why do conservatives/republicans hate "Obamacare" so much? My parents say they hate it because it's another form of "entitlement" for the general population and that it would mean our family would have to pay even more in taxes.

"But not all white people are like that"
Dear White people;
Ok, I get it. There’s some asshole white people doing asshole things to POC and people are angry at them for being assholes and your natural first reaction may be to make sure you’re not lumped in with them. So you say, “But not all white people are like that.” That’s not helping anyone and it kinda reeks of “reverse racism syndrome”.

Now, I didn’t feel like making my millionths Reddit account, so I’ll just say something here.
