lol. you do know that most of the women in "powerful positions" in america,are white,right? you do know that although white women experience sexism,they benefit from white privilege—which is why they're paid more cents on the dollar than women of color and why they're more likely to be in positions of power.

amen! beyonce "damaging" feminism*? i hope that,if mannequin's a white woman,that she's not speaking for women of color feminists.
Right, but that is sort of an example of a classic debate between feminists. Many feminists believe that any beauty ideal is oppressive, even just the entire concept of beauty is oppressive. Other feminists may say "well now the beauty ideal is changing to fit more bodies so its progress." I think both views have…
I could be wrong, but I believe if we examine this with an intersectional lens - big bums have been a part of the beauty ideal. The big bum as beautiful is only novel to white women.
I'm also freaked out that she plugged something written by Sharhazad Ali. I don't care what she's written since she wrote that first infamous book - it was the most anti-Black woman thing ever created and I can't imagine she's changed much.
So, in her view, even if the idea of being tied up and humiliated by a man gets you off, you still shouldn't do it/admit to it, because every time a woman tells a man that they like being dominated it adds more support to the men who think all women like that, and who find victimizing women fun. Basically she would…
It's not stupid at all, it's all good to sit behind your computer and tell someone she is a bad feminist when you yourself isn't doing much for women.
My biggest issue, tbh, was exactly that: quit throwing around the word terrorist like the shit doesn't have very explicit connotations. Hell, explicit denotations, too. Beyonce is not a terrorist. She may be complicit, but that's not terrorism. bell needs to get her diction all the way together.
Since you're such an authority on what is a feminist, what have you done for women?
Sit the fuck down, Feminism movement and their Racist ass, transphobic ass, don't need Beyoncé to damage itself. White feminist have already done a great job.
As my grandfather used to say "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"*. I kind of think that fits the point Hillary is trying to make - you either see Beyonce as shaking her ass because it's her ass to shake (and it's fine) or you see it as she's shaking her ass to please the patriarchy. Not much in…
The word terrorist is filled with such violence and I'm not down with her ascribing it to another Black woman.
I'm one of the people who disagreed with her use of the word terrorist but I'm over it at this point (although I think we should talk about her problematic comparison to Dylan Farrows abuse. I'm sure that was hyperbole and sensationalism too but a line had to be drawn). I have a few questions: where do we draw the…
FUCK YEAH GABIFRESH!!!!!!! I fucking LOVE HER. She's awesome. This is awesome. For those not paying attention, THIS is what the lyrics to flawless are about. Quit bitching.
Real talk - I got some meat on my bones and I was in Macy's today just looking for some damn work shirts and pants and I wanted to cry out, "YES. PLEASE SELL MORE LARGE PRINT FLORAL SMOCKS." I don't hide from my body and I want to feel amazing in what I wear. This video, first and foremost, made me be like - where…
If you really want to accuse him of something, why not go ahead and do it rather than confusing every single reader you have with your bizarre phrasing?
I think that's what happens when you try to make a story out of a non-story.
What is happening in this sentence?
