Is this the number for all women or just white women? Black and Latina women don't make as much as white women. Pretty sure that black women are in the 60 cent range.

I'm sorry, but a big BUHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA to the person that wrote that they don't see as much, or as overt racism because they're from Massachusetts. OMG, I laughed so hard, I literally have tears streaming down my face. I cannot, with that.

My go to is racialicious. They rock and sometimes cover stories from here. I live for bell hooks and Joan Morgan. Morgan wrote a book about being a hip hop feminist and it changed my life. Also, tumblr is a great resource for finding feminist WOCs and womanists. Just keep fighting the good fight! We need more people

I went to a tiny, pilot school, 200 kids total, so not only did it get around fast, he was fired shortly after. I gotta say, as kids, we were on point. We were equally horrified that he thought he could turn her straight. (OMG, I donated the majority of my stuff, but I still have a crazy amount of my collection. I'm

I remember a teacher hitting on one of my classmates who was gay and asking if he could "turn her straight" and we all rightly freaked the fuck. And I played with barbies until 15, so I wasn't the most knowledgable about adult relationships and even I knew that was fucked up.

In my day job, I work with teenagers. Sure, some of them look like adults. A couple legally are. But, ANYBODY who looks at them and thinks "oh yeah, I'd hit that" is the fucking scum of the Earth. They act like overgrown kids because that's exactly what they are. Fuck this lady for writing this shit. Fuck the judge

All I can say is keep learning and keep trying! I've heard a lot of other white women say "white men do xyz" and no one screams that they're racist because they're given the benefit of doubt. Meaning, we know you don't mean literally every white man. This woman of color says "white men are notorious for treating black

That might not have been worded the best way, since I was in full on rage mode. I understand there are black women that operate under the feminist movement that don't fall under either of those categories, but I don't understand why since myself and other black women keep having to have stupid ass conversations like

I am SO, SO sorry, sweetie. I really am. You never said "all white men" do this. You expressed something that goes on and happens to us. It's happened to me. It's happened to a lot of black women that I know. Do you see how quickly white women came to bat for white men against you? How angry they got? How quickly the

People like you are the EXACT reason that black women are uncomfortable with Jezebel and feminism as a whole. We can say shit about our experiences that might be different from yours. without somebody whining about "why don't you fix your community? Y'all are pieces of shit too!!!" Thanks a fucking lot, but let me

Jez, much like the feminist movement, does not have the greatest history when it comes to women of color.

God, I loved Pepper Ann. And Daria. I was a little old for Kim Possible. I definitely identified with Lisa Simpson the most. I've been a huge Simpsons fan for the majority of my life. But, I didn't have anyone that I could be like "wow, that represents me! She looks like me!" All of those characters are white. Daria

I love how he framed it in the typical "oh, you stupid women care too much about your looks. Knock it off!" argument. Not, "it's really fucked up that society constantly expects black women to conform to European standards of beauty, and that way too many black men buy into not only that, but some of the nastiest

Sorry, but I believe Perez. Yeah, he made his name being a giant douchebag, but I don't think Lady GaGa is all loving and supporting as she claims to be. I think she latched onto the LGBTQ community to create a fan base, not out of genuine emotions. And the way she freaked out over any information being leaked from

Don't worry. That's mainly AAVE, and whenever someone white uses it, it always just sounds weird.

PREACH, SIS.

PAUSE. This dude went on a PLUS SIZE dating website, and then was like "naaaaaah, sorry, you're way too fat to bring in public." WHAT. THE. FUCK. This is exactly why I don't fuck with chubby chasers. Dude probably has a fetish for big women, but is too ashamed to be seen with them. GTFO.

Both are terrible and contrived "OMG, we're all so bright and special in our own ways, even though I'm a rich, thin, white woman. LOLOLOLOL. Ur beautiful too, though!!". Please just stop them both.

I always laugh when people accuse us of playing the race card and looking for racism. A. I don't have to look. I live it. and B. if I got angry over every racist thing that's happened to me, or someone I love, I would have no energy or life. We ignore so much day to day bullshit, because we have to worry about the big

I'VE GOT A FEVER
