@kcz100 But why is it alright for anyone to be happy about anything when there are undoubtedly people who are in parallel situations who are less happy — PolitiTweet.org

@kcz100 Do you think anyone should ever be happy about anything? There are always people who are in parallel situations but are unhappy. One's happiness is not an indictment of someone else's unhappiness. — PolitiTweet.org

so every time i post a pic of a beautiful layer cake i worked hard on, just think to yourself: she has a good guess as to what is going to kill her and it's been stalking her for years — PolitiTweet.org

if it makes you feel better, i have a permanent, incurable seizure disorder (epilepsy, janz syndrome.) i can't drive and there are days when i can't pour my kids milk in the morning because the seizures are too constant. it's real misery, it's just too exotic to market — PolitiTweet.org

@bdmcclay my tweet was (so i thought) very clearly making a point about larger discursive currents, not about the piece itself -- pretty typical for discussions of published material. anyway, i deleted it, so no need to follow up with more later. — PolitiTweet.org

i mean, are children raped by priests whose families then settle with the church for thousands or millions of dollars luckier than children who are raped by family members? i just have a hard time coming up with a good use for that question — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@suninshades sure, if it's humor, she's just making the same point i'm making — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@jesseclain @suninshades the pressure is social, and what's the relevance here? did the piece claim that most rapists have $10,000 in liquid assets? (no.) did it claim that rape victims who didn't ask their rapists for cash are bad or wrong? (no.) so why go into the upsides? — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@suninshades it's not a contest. we're not trying to figure out who gets raped the worst. whatever pressure on a rape victim is producing the statement "i was lucky...to be raped..." isn't especially valuable in my view — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i think maybe the theory of priv checking has perhaps gone a bit haywire when you've got to acknowledge you were fortunate to be raped in a particular situation https://t.co/S3VZd7Qd7g https://t.co/rNGYM9R1mD — PolitiTweet.org
