Charleston, SC, was the largest North American port of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, receiving 40% of all kidnapped Africans brought to the US. You’re arguing the “truth” is that the Great Society was worse for Black people than slavery? Not one person thinks you believe that.

When women express pain, they are often perceived to be overestimating their symptoms or over-reacting (and being hysterical). As I discuss in Hysterical, ultimately it is rooted in the long history of medical misogyny, of hysteria, where most illnesses in women are seen to be 'of the mind' or psychosomatic, due to their nervous nature.

Clearly we need more R&T across Seattle.

And I'm obviously ok with her changing lyrics because as far as I'm concerned the 10 minute version is now the only version of All Too Well.

Not because the men don't have anything to apologize for, they just don't. And I think that's a good example of women leading and creating differently, for the better.
