I find that:


- The DC books I read (Flash, Detective Comics, Batgirl, Batwoman) take me about 10 minutes, some of the ones I used to read (JLA, Vibe, etc) took more like 5 minutes... Also...

I get that - I guess I see it as an identity not as a self-identified one, but rather something you're born with & short of medical things can't change - e.g. man/woman (not to be confused with...

Yeah, I feel like I was doing what Arvandor mentions for the longest time... but I still don't feel healed from it. :/ better, but not over it, yanno?

IMO when you say "LGBTQIA" you aren't...

Absolutely! I don't really have anything to add to this - just yeah, absolutely. we're jiving on the same page lol

I think you missed the part about how

A) tone-policing specifically refers to when members of an oppressing group (in the case of the linked article, white people) tell members of targeted groups...

That sounds an awful lot like tone-policing to me.

Sometimes, though, it's not about the man. It doesn't matter what he meant or didn't mean by it. It honestly does not matter. It's about her, and her experience, and her experience of being readily...

No one is immune to sexism. No one has spent their life going "NA-NA-NA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" to the every-day ways sexist messages are taught. I'm a queer woman and sometimes I need to take a hard...

Damn, thank you for sharing. I was reading this piece on the issue too today and thought it was a great sort of "intro to diversity" type piece. Jerkins' piece really hits the nail on the head...

No, I explain what microaggressions are to anyone who needs it explained. Everyone can exhibit microaggressions - even women to other women, people of color to other people of color, etc. Women...

I came across this article and it made me think of this thread. It's not about sexism, it's about racism, and it's not about microaggressions per say so much as cultural ignorance, but I think it is...

An explosion?!!? Thank you! You really do seem like a great person to chat with. Thank you for not being quickly dismissive etc.

I know what you mean. I would be a total sh*t head if no one ever pulled me aside and talked to me about how what I was doing was problematic. I mean, I was one. But still - there is a time and a...

I don't mean to ignore other replies to me, I'm just strapped on time and if I don't feel there is anything substantive to add to the conversation at that point I'm just skipping past for now. I've...

Microaggressions aren't a theory. it's a term for a certain set of experiences. I can't really tell from your reply if you did follow the original link, but it doesn't really sound like you did. :/ ...

I didn't realize this wasn't typically the case until I saw NYC's pride, but Chicago's parade doesn't happen downtown. To be fair, our downtown isn't really where people go to have fun on the...

It is pretty gross and disappointing that this thread is not about the subject matter of the article but rather a personal attack on how people think Types should or shouldn't behave as an activist....

You are great. thank you for being here at times where I'm wondering if a forum like this is really the best space for me to be.





Ok, cool. So even though this is my body, I'm not an...

Everyone's behavior is sexist, no one is some kind of anti-sexist god who magically doesn't get the message from society. Everyone - including women, who deal with an internalized variation of it -...

Because change cannot only come from the people who receive the lesser treatment. When little things like this happen - called microaggressions - the receiver is in an uncomfortable place. When I...

WHAT?! I want a burlesque show. Chicago needs to follow in suit, ASAP.

I wasn't reading Katana, so I can't speak for that, but I did try Vibe. Did you try that book? It was a total and complete clusterffdg. The first couple issues started interestingly enough, but from...

MTE. :/ The whole victim-kills-her-abuser was a small peace offering to their complete & total use of rape-as-bad-guy-characterization trope this season so far. Dunno if I can keep with the show...

Yes! I have always wanted to see more story/flashbacks/etc to Gordon's time in Chicago and how it changed/defined him.

for comics in general: sandman
for superhero/cape comics: secret six



Hah! I think I was reading CAD before I read comics. I must have been in middle school when I started. I haven't gone to...
