I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

Literally millions of Americans right now are telling women this: It doesn’t matter how qualified you are. It doesn’t matter how smart, capable, or experienced you are. It doesn’t matter if you are the most qualified person for your job in American History… You are still not as good as a sexist, racist, bigoted, misogynistic fuckboy who paints himself orange.

You do have to feel really bad for Hillary Clinton right now. Like, even if you don’t like her, this has to be an awful feeling. She ran against a man who can’t string together a coherent sentence. A man who is less qualified than a sack of potatoes. At least with Obama she could say “Well, he’s charismatic and intelligent and maybe he’s a little less qualified, but he’s a strong opponent”. With Trump…there is nothing that makes sense. Nothing at all. And that has to hurt. — ndelphinus

“Well sure. But the point-”

“I would eat the skittles.”

“Ok-well the point is-”

“I would GORGE myself on skittles. I would eat every single fucking skittle I could find. I would STUFF myself with skittles. And when I found the poison skittle and died I would make sure to leave behind a legacy of children and of friends who also ate skittle after skittle until there were no skittles to be eaten. And each person who found the poison skittle we would weep for. We would weep for their loss, for their sacrifice, and for the fact that they did not let themselves succumb to fear but made the world a better place by eating skittles.

A white: but saying Asians are naturally smart is POSITIVE discrimination:)))

Me: The model minority myth was invented by whites as a tool of antiblackness to create divisions between communities of color and prove that ‘anyone can succeed in America if they just TRY hard enough!!1!’ thereby implying that antiblackness is black ppl’s own fault for not TRYING enough. Additionally, it relies on false interpretations of data and hurts the opportunities of all Asians, particularly less privileged ones, and dehumanizes Asians by furthering stereotypes of us as some kind of innately robot-like monolithic-minded hive, devalues our individual accomplishments and uses us as a tool to further antiblackness — reclaimingasia

Your mental illness does not change your privilege as a white person

Your sexual orientation does not change your privilege as a white person

Your gender does not change your privilege as a white person

Your income does not change your privilege as a white person

Your disability does not change your privilege as a white person

Your age does not change your privilege as a white person.

Your political affiliation does not change your privilege as a white person

Your religion does not change your privilege as a white person

Your privilege as a white person will stick with you, whatever your other identities are. You may face oppression in other ways, which, YES means there are other social structures that work against you. But they do not diminish your white privilege — prochoice-or-gtfo.

I have lived in New York for 35 years and Donald Trump has been in my face for 35 years. The whole idea that he is a great businessman is so beyond... *facepalms* He bankrupted a casino. *throws hands in the air* I mean... That's impossible. — Lewis Black - Black To The Future

Funny thing? He almost certainly did it on purpose.

And I don’t mean that as “actually he knows what he’s doing.” I mean it as “he has been committing one of the longest running and most blatant cases of fraud in the history of business and it’s only due to the limitations of our legal system that his entire business history is not classified as a Ponzi Scheme.”

Because he didn’t just bankrupt a casino.

He bought two casinos in Atlantic city, exaggerated the shit out of their profits to lure in investors, and began work on building a third casino. He was overextended in the market in a way that had him competing against his own businesses. He also snubbed contractors, threatened and litigated a ton of small businesses out of their jobs, and raised capital through issuing hundreds of millions of dollars in junk bonds (high risk high reward, they’re below investment grade but some people like to bet on them because the interest rate in the case of a payout is very large).

So what happened? He leveraged his ownership in a way that allowed him to strip out a ton of assets (which he legally owned), while leaving the corporate side totally overloaded with debt financing from the junk bonds, and then he drove all of it into the ground. Hard.

He went to bankruptcy court like 3 separate times over casino projects. While in bankruptcy court, he relentlessly fled from personal liability (his equity stake in the companies was extremely minimal because of the debt financing strategy) and managed to pay back a tiny fraction of his actual debt (this is why he always handles his debt in bankruptcy court; you can get away with paying back pennies on the dollar when you supposedly have no money). He also issued like 300 million more in junk bonds to pay himself and his legal fees, then went back to bankruptcy court and frauded all of THOSE investors.

Now you’ve probably heard the term Ponzi Scheme before, but if you’ve never heard a proper explanation of how one works, here’s a basic breakdown. First, you borrow money from one investor. Then, you borrow money from a second investor, and use that money to pay back the first investor at an impressive interest rate. Then you can start selling the scam to people by showing them how good your investors are doing, and hook more people in. You pay back earlier investors with the influx of cash from the new ones, while raking in the profits for yourself.

Now think about this business model. Use debt financing to start up a business. Litigate, fraud, or drive your contractors out of business so they don’t have enough money to sue you for what you owe them. Leverage the capital structure so you have minimal liability personally invested in the company. Strip out assets before a collapse because hey, you own it. Raise more debt capital to keep the illusion running as long as you can, and when you can’t keep up with what you owe your investors anymore, file for bankruptcy and pay them back scraps. You’ve made a ton of money, frauded a ton of investors, and they can’t come after you for it because you were leveraged behind a corporation and your personal liability was very small. You make more money off a flop than a hit. Rinse and repeat.

BUT YOU CAN’T GET CAUGHT FOR SETTING UP A PYRAMID SCHEME BECAUSE IT DOESN’T LAST LONG ENOUGH. YOU NEVER SET UP THE CYCLE OF INVESTORS AND INSTEAD YOU GET OUT OF PAYING THEM BACK BY ACTING LIKE YOUR BUSINESS WAS AN ORDINARY FAILURE INSTEAD OF BY STEALING MONEY FROM SUBSEQUENT INVESTORS.

That’s what happened in Atlantic City.

Now think about the rest of his business failures. Trump Airlines? That’s an industry that requires huge startup investment (debt financing) and the owner gets to sell off expensive assets when it fails. Trump Steaks? He sold those at THE SHARPER IMAGE, where it was guaranteed to fail because it was completely the wrong market for that kind of business. Trump University? Never even TRIED to be successful with that, he just tricked people into giving him as much money as he could squeeze out of them, and provided no actual service in exchange. He paid a $25 Million settlement on the lawsuit, but MADE $175 Million off the actual scam, so he walked away with $150 million for doing absolutely nothing. A LOT of his businesses, if you look closely, were practically DESIGNED to fail.

Because that’s how he operates.

Donald Trump is not a good businessman. He never even tried to be a businessman. What he is, is a con artist. Everything he ever made was fake.

The only really successful business he owns is the real estate business … which he inherited from his father and has grown at a slower rate than inflation even as he drives contractors out of business and targets undocumented laborers so they have no legal grounds to sue him for fair wages or working conditions.

Donald Trump is the CEO equivalent of The Producers.

The image of white Jesus originates from Leonardo da Vinci painting his boyfriend in the image of Jesus, so for everyone who wants Jesus to be white, he can’t be straight, and for everyone who wants Jesus to be straight, he can’t be white. He’s either brown or gay or both. You decide.

I mean, he definitely is brown, but if you want to deny that then you must accept that he is gay. So he’s brown and could be gay. — fuckecheeses

PSA: If you see someone in a wheelchair stand up or walk, just keep your mouth shut. They either were prescribed that wheelchair and their insurance agreed they needed it, or they became so desperate for the mobility the chair would provide that they paid a lot of money out of pocket (because they don’t have insurance or they have a shitty ableist doctor or whatever).

It’s estimated that around 85% of full time wheelchair users can stand or walk to some extent. Think of it like glasses: the majority of people who wear them can technically see without them, but they reduce pain, improve the quality of the wearer’s life, and enable millions of people to do things they otherwise couldn’t. A wheelchair is no different. In fact, even part time users legitimately need their chair, just as people who need reading glasses legitimately need their glasses. In addition to paralysis, some reasons for using a wheelchair include pain, fatigue, fragile joints/bones, vertigo, and many, many other debilitating symptoms.

Using a wheelchair is already stressful enough as it is, thanks to iffy accessibility. Please don’t add to a disabled person’s difficulties by calling them a faker. — lesbianrunner5

In the 1960′s Legally a woman couldn’t

1. Open a bank account or get a credit card without signed permission from her father or her husband.
2. Serve on a jury - because it might inconvenience the family not to have the woman at home being her husband’s helpmate.
3. Obtain any form of birth control without her husband’s permission. You had to be married, and your hub had to agree to postpone having children.
4. Get an Ivy League education. Ivy League schools were men’s colleges until the 70′s and 80′s. When they opened their doors to women it was agreed that women went there for their MRS. Degree.
5. Experience equality in the workplace: Kennedy’s Commission on the Status of Women produced a report in 1963 that revealed, among other things, that women earned 59 cents for every dollar that men earned and were kept out of the more lucrative professional positions.
6. Keep her job if she was pregnant. Until the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in 1978, women were regularly fired from their workplace for being pregnant.
7. Refuse to have sex with her husband. The mid 70s saw most states recognize marital rape and in 1993 it became criminalized in all 50 states. Nevertheless, marital rape is still often treated differently to other forms of rape in some states even today.
8. Get a divorce with some degree of ease. Before the No Fault Divorce law in 1969, spouses had to show the faults of the other party, such as adultery, and could easily be overturned by recrimination.
9. Have a legal abortion in most states. The Roe v. Wade case in 1973 protected a woman’s right to abortion until viability.
10. Take legal action against workplace sexual harassment. According to The Week, the first time a court recognized office sexual harassment as grounds for legal action was in 1977.
11. Play college sports Title IX of the Education Amendments of protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance It was not until this statute that colleges had teams for women’s sports
12. Apply for men’s jobs. The EEOC rules that sex-segregated help wanted ads in newspapers are illegal. This ruling is upheld in 1973 by the Supreme Court, opening the way for women to apply for higher-paying jobs hitherto open only to men.

Saying I’m obsessed with racism in America is like saying that I’m obsessed with swimming when I’m drowning — Hari Kondabolu

People bad mouth women who fucked their way to the top but no one criticizes the men in positions of power who compromise their integrity by handing out favors for the fucking. No one condemns these men for abusing their positions of power to get laid.

People demonize women who fuck their way to the top, but no one mentions how it’s almost always women having to resort to using their bodies to get more power from men who wield it. No one talks about how it’s men with all the power in the entertainment industry and women at their mercy.

Everyone has something to say about women who fuck their way to the top, but no one has anything to say about the fact men are the ones with the keys to the top, and women have to scramble to get them. — theroguefeminist

I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again—

Menstruation is caused by change in hormonal levels to stop the creation of a uterine lining and encourage the body to flush the lining out. The body does this by lowering estrogen levels and raising testosterone.

Or, to put it more plainly “That time of the month” is when female hormones most closely resemble male hormones. So if (cis) women aren’t suited to office at “That time of the month” then (cis) men are NEVER suited to office.

If you are a dude and don’t dig the ladies around you at their time of the month, just think! That is you all of the time.

And, on a final note, post-menopausal (cis) women are the most hormonally stable of all human demographics. They have fewer hormonal fluctuations of anyone, meaning older women like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would theoretically be among the least likely candidates to make an irrational decision due to hormonal fluctuations, and if we were basing our leadership decisions on hormone levels, then only women over fifty should ever be allowed to hold office. — timemachineyeah

True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.

And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.”

My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality – my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part. — When Worlds Collide: Fandom and Male Privilege by Lucy Gillam

I will, until I am blue in the face, defend any adult’s right to enjoy whatever silly, all-ages thing they like without being hassled for it.

But there’s a flip side to that right: As adult fans it is absolutely our responsibility to make sure our enjoyment of that thing does interfere with a minor’s ability to enjoy the same thing in a safe space.

That means putting warnings on fics that have adult themes, that means not posting porn in the main tags, and it absolutely positively means not having any inappropriate interactions with minors you meet on this website, even if it’s their idea.

This is the basic price of admission every adult has to pay for entry into an all-ages fandom. — thesnadger.

I know that it can be hard as a white person to read and talk about racism. It's hard for everyone to read and talk about racism, because it is an ugly thing. When we confront racism, we commit to staring into the face of something both repellant and familiar. It's hard for all of us, but what I know most about is what it's like to be white and I can understand the temptation of defensiveness for us white folks. Of resentment. Of feeling accused. I understand the lure of clinging to all the ways in which you, too, don't have it so good. I am more than familiar with the temptation to demonstrate your own oppression.

Listen closely, kiddies: No one has ever said white people don’t have problems. Poor white people have problems, disabled white people have problems, mentally ill white people have problems, trans/gay/queer/nonbinary white people have problems. Hell, I guess even rich white people have problems. But no one in America has problems because they are white. They have problems because their economic status, or their health, or their gender identity or sexual orientation or just because they’re people and no matter how much you have, life is never perfect. But your white child will never be gunned down by the police before they even get all the way out of their cruiser for holding a toy gun. Your white ass will never be denied a job because you’re too pale or because the way the hair grows out of your head is unprofessional. And literally every blogger of color on this website has said that to, I think, just about every translucent basement crawler with an internet connection, but you apparently haven’t bothered to read any of it. So, take it from a white girl, if your life sucks, it’s not because you're white, so stop pissing and moaning about reverse racism. — youmightbeamisogynist

And our house maid, Shabana, who was married to her uncle at 15 and, at 18, has 2 children, she doesn’t even know what feminism is. She was told by her father that she should be glad her husband doesn’t beat her and hasn’t thrown tehzaab (acid) at her. That things could always be worse.

Ancient moon priestesses were called virgins. ‘Virgin’ meant not married, not belonging to a man - a woman who was ‘one-in-herself’. The very word derives from a Latin root meaning strength, force, skill; and was later applied to men: virle. Ishtar, Diana, Astarte, Isis were all all called virgin, which did not refer to sexual chastity, but sexual independence. And all great culture heroes of the past, mythic or historic, were said to be born of virgin mothers: Marduk, Gilgamesh, Buddha, Osiris, Dionysus, Genghis Khan, Jesus - they were all affirmed as sons of the Great Mother, of the Original One, their worldly power deriving from her. When the Hebrews used the word, and in the original Aramaic, it meant ‘maiden’ or ‘young woman’, with no connotations to sexual chastity. But later Christian translators could not conceive of the ‘Virgin Mary’ as a woman of independent sexuality, needless to say; they distorted the meaning into sexually pure, chaste, never touched. — Monica Sjoo, The Great Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth (via ynannarising)

To get a gun in Japan, first, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you'll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record or association with criminal or extremist groups, and you will be the proud new owner of your shotgun or air rifle. Just don't forget to provide police with documentation on the specific location of the gun in your home, as well as the ammo, both of which must be locked and stored separately. And remember to have the police inspect the gun once per year and to re-take the class and exam every three years. — A Land Without Guns: How Japan Has Virtually Eliminated Shooting Deaths

I care about the problems of men. I care that the patriarchy tells men that they have to be stoic beasts incapable of emotion. I care that the patriarchy tells men that they are lust-filled monsters incapable of controlling their own libidos. I care that the patriarchy tells men that they cannot be raped or assaulted because the patriarchy believes women are too weak and inferior to be dangerous.

i wish men understood that when women are talking about feminism and rape culture and shit, it’s not just a political conversation. it’s not about being a “social justice warrior” or whatever. it’s about our actual lives being shaped by misogyny since childhood, and the daily reality of living in fear of violence. this isn’t a fucking game or philosophical debate. this is our fucking lives. — imreallybad

Men trying to defend rape culture with misogynistic logic. Every time I’ve gotten into a heated argument w/ a man over rape and the autonomy of women, they always use some hypothetical example of a woman being an object to prove their point. “Ok but would you leave a loaded gun unattended/ would you leave a car door unlocked” or some bullshit example like that. It’s like they can’t conceptualise the fact that women are not objects you have access to 24/7. Nor will they acknowledge that men are 100% in control of their fucking actions. And they always sit back looking pleased w/ themselves after making these weak points like they just said something groundbreaking. I want to scream. — bloxs

unlearn racism & white supremacy without expecting some kind of pat on the back for believing in basic human rights — e-brat

(o)

No, not every single white person is racist, but all white people are raised in a culture of normalized racism and must work to unlearn toxic mindsets. Not every cis straight person is transphobic and homophobic, but all have been raised in a culture that normalizes that hate and must work to unlearn it. Not ever man is a misogynist, but all have been raised in a misogynistic culture, and, well you get the idea now.

And when you go into the feminism tag and talk about how the people who are critiquing these forms of oppression “make you feel like shit” and are “making you suffer” by having those conversations, you are not demonstrating that you have self reflected upon these systems are your complacency within them. You are demonstrating something very very different. — fandomsandfeminism

Say I’m 32 years old and you’re 22 years old.

In how many years will we be the same age?

Silly question, right? If you define aging as a process that stops at death, the only way we’ll ever be the same age is if I die first. If you don’t, then we’ll never be the same age. Every time you age a year, I also age a year. Since our ages increase at the same rate, you will never catch up to my head start. We have achieved a total equality of aging, but that does not change the permanent inequality of our age.

Okay, say I have a million dollars and you’re completely broke. If we both get a dollar a day, how long will it take you to catch up with me?

Now, this one’s even sillier, because if you have no other resources, your dollar a day is going to be eaten up by basic living expenses that it doesn’t quite meet, and I have an excess of money that can be spent on money-making opportunities that pay off far better than an additional $365 a year. I could literally burn the dollar I’m getting as part of our Totally Equal Income and still make more money in a year than you do just by sticking my money in the bank.

But still: both of us getting a dollar a day is totally equal, right? It means we’re being treated exactly the same.

And now, final problem:

If we have a world that contains structural inequalities, systemic imbalances, disproportionate danger faced by some, and unequal access to resources and opportunities, is “treating everyone the same” really going to result in equality?

We have reached a tipping point where mega donors completely dominate the landscape. The 100 largest donors in the 2014 cycle gave almost as much money to candidates as the 4.75 million people who gave $200 or less (and certainly that number goes from “almost” to “more” if we could include contributions that are not required by law to be disclosed).

Think about this for a minute. This is consequential. It means that candidates running for office are genuflecting before an audience of 100 wealthy individuals to fuel their campaigns. So, whose bidding do we think these candidates are going to do? Is it any wonder that the interests of large corporations and unions get to the front of the line? [….]

“You can’t complain when other people have it worse” is a lie that people in power tell because it sets people in bad circumstances up in a competition. It means when we share our stories, we are always quietly fighting for the prize of being the worst off, and getting a tiny scrap of sympathy.That keeps us from getting together and asking, why are our circumstances so bad and how can we make them better? It means only one person gets to complain and that person does it alone.

You know what a lot of people don't take into account when they talk about minimum wage or part time jobs? The amount of work involved.

Look at the job descriptions for some minimum wage, part time jobs. There's paragraphs of stuff they want you to do.

What's listed in the job description is the bare minimum too. Don't be good at your job. They'll have you do EVERYTHING.

Not only that, they'll make sure to schedule you just under 40 hours to keep you part time too.

You have no benefits, making just over $7 an hr, you're damn near pulling full time hours, and for what? A check that just covers bills.

But people constantly shit on the minimum wage jobs b/c they see those tired ass associates/cashiers & assume they're "not doing anything."

You think your office job is so much harder than being a cashier at WalMart or an associate at Sears?

You try standing on your feet for 8 hours straight, running around a store checking prices & ringing up rude customer after rude customer.

Why are girls saying things like, “I don’t hang out with girls because they’re dramatic bitches. I prefer to hang out with guys.” Why do some of us seemingly hate our own gender? As women we should be allies to each other, not be taught to hate and compete with each other. Why should this be the case? Why are little girls told that if a girl is mean to them, they should avoid her, but if a boy is mean to her, it means he likes her? The conclusion I came to is that women are taught to struggle against each other because we’re more easily oppressed that way. We, as women, are easier to walk all over when we’re already walking all over each other. — Why Women Should Hate the Patriarchy Instead of Each Other

Feminism is a movement for freedom, equality, choice, love, compassion, respect, solidarity, and education. We may argue, we may disagree, we may struggle to understand the choices and perspectives of others sometimes, but these core beliefs of the movement have never changed, and they never will.

That is why I am a Feminist.

If you feel that you have so far lived your life unaffected by even the mildest form of sexism – anything from feeling uncomfortable when a man catcalls you in the street, to feeling scared walking home alone at night in a secluded area – and are treated with love and respect by every man in your life, then to you I say: I’m glad for you. If you don’t think you need feminism, then that is a victory for the movement. You have fulfilled all those dreams that every suffragette being force-fed in prison and every ‘witch’ burnt at the stake dreamed you would one day. — A Response to ‘Women Against Feminism.’

Female character does everything right:

“Oh my god, what a boring Mary Sue!”

Female character makes realistic and human choices, some based on emotions, knowledge (or lack thereof), sometimes including huge mistakes:

The fact of the matter is, it doesn’t matter whether or not you think homosexuality is a sin. Let me say that again. It does not matter if you think homosexuality is a sin, or if you think it is simply another expression of human love. It doesn’t matter. Why doesn’t it matter? Because people are dying. Kids are literally killing themselves because they are so tired of being rejected and dehumanized that they feel their only option left is to end their life. As a Youth Pastor, this makes me physically ill. And as a human, it should make you feel the same way. So, I’m through with the debate. When faced with the choice between being theologically correct…as if this is even possible…and being morally responsible, I’ll go with morally responsible every time. — Tyler Smither : What You Believe About Homosexuality Doesn’t Matter

ok but when people say “that character isn’t canonically gay” when they’re talking about a character whose sexuality is never actually mentioned in the books/show/whatever. no. no actually u chose to infer that the character is canonically straight because u think straight is the automatic sexuality of all beings unless the word “gay” is in bolded size 60 font and that’s shitty — threepipe

(o)

Sometimes i think about how there are more canon bisexual women on tv than canon bisexual men and i get really angry. bc female homosexual behavior is sexualized and therefore female bisexuality is shown because the male viewership can voyeuristically enjoy watching women kiss without the (sadly, oft unheeded) rejection of knowing that that woman would not be interested in them. whereas male bisexuality is extremely rarely shown because it is threatening to the male viewership’s fragile heteromasculinity and they don’t get any sexual gratification out of it.

To educate the masses politically does not mean, cannot mean, making a political speech.

Censorship: The government says, “No, you cannot publish that.”

Yup.

Also not censorship: Your consumers say “All of you writers/artists need to stop doing the problematic thing if you want us to buy your product,” and encourage other consumers to say the same.

Also also not censorship: A fellow consumer of media says “Your arguments about how this is not problematic are wrong, and/or you are a jerk.”

(Arguably a form of censorship but not a violation of constitutional freedom of speech: the publisher / network / producer / website owner says “No, you cannot use my platform to say that.”)

I found it difficult to put Elementary out of my mind when watching this episode -- although I don’t want to start a debate over which Holmes adaptation is "better" because they each have their own strengths and flaws. Elementary will never be a 90-minute thriller with so many snappy one-liners and double-takes that you sometimes have to rewind and rewatch because you were laughing so hard. Then again, Sherlock has never displayed anything that even approaches the emotional complexity and maturity of Elementary, not to mention its unusually diverse cast.

After having two years to become acclimatised to Elementary’s realistic level of racial diversity, this episode just seemed to highlight just how odd and uncomfortable it is to film a feature-length crime drama all over London and have every single character be white. An episode set in the Conservative Party conference would still require a more diverse cast than what we saw in “The Empty Hearse,” which takes place all over London at various times of day and night. Also, Sherlock already has some decidedly dodgy history with the way it portrays non-white characters, particularly in “The Blind Banker.”

The one other comparison I have to make is between the Holmes/Watson relationships in each show. Elementary's Joan Watson and Sherlock Holmes have changed a great deal in the year and a half they've been together, learning each other's foibles and actively working to strengthen their relationship in a mature and intelligent way. John and Sherlock, on the other hand, are far more antagonistic. There's no denying that their partnership is intense to the point of symbiosis, but it relies upon John tolerating Sherlock's unbearable behaviour, which in this episode was more unbearable than ever. — Gavia Baker-Whitelaw

Son, what makes you think Captain America would be a REPUBLICAN? First off, he’s the son of Irish Immigrants, which in his day were maligned and discriminated against , secondly, he’s an artist who grew up poor and near one of New York’s gay communities, he also grew up disabled in an era where Eugenics was on the rise and people would have berated him for being a burden on society, he grew up during the rise of socialism in the US. so he’s a backer of the New Deal, Social Security and Unions, help for the poor and the working class. He had the first intregrated unit in the Army (in the comics and the mcu) and in the MCU had a woman as his superior officer. And in the movies his best friends and allies are THE FALCON and THE BLACK WIDOW.

In real life Steve Rogers was created by two young Jewish men who had Cap punch Hitler in the face on the cover of Cap’s first comic book when the US didn’t want to enter the War. That’s a political statement of intent that rings true today.
