Was This Random Lady Rude To Shane? Opinions Needed!
Squirmy and Grubs - April 28, 2026

Do you think this encounter was an example of ableism? What about sexism, as Shane's Facebook commenters apparently think? Could it be both? Does it confirm something I think many if us suspect about the connection between different forms of prejudice? I'm curious about these sorts of questions, and undecided on the actual incident. But either way, I enjoy hearing Shane and Hannah talk about it. I hope you do too.

Have a nice weekend!
