I actually think her race and her weight are still addressed, and they should be. Mindy Kaling writes the show and I don't think she is writing this show to ignore those parts of herself

But once there is a first gentleman and he decides to participate in the cookie bake off, it will be met with "tee-hees!" and "Oh he's so darling." It won't be a hidden judgement on his ability as a man or a father.

Exactly. Everyone fucking loves cookies. People learn to bake cookies just to they can eat them.

Exactly. When someone out of nowhere decides that your business is there business and hit you out of nowhere, it is hard to make a comeback. I am very snappy and confrontational when stuff like that happens but sometimes you are not prepared. Sometimes you are just trying to live your damn life and be happy about it.…

Well exactly. I don't think it's right to do that either, that's why I wanted to ask your opinion rather than yell at you "YOU DON'T KNOW BETTER YOU OPPRESSED GIRL YOU," because I don't feel like that. It's so much more complicated than that. That's a human failing I think, especially depending on our circumstances,…

Why are they not allowed to be smiling?

Good point. The only picture where they show people is the bathroom with the man and his child, and I'm pretty sure that they photo shopped the woman out of the bathroom because they don't intergender bathrooms like that 'over there'.

Thanks for this! I was wondering what the hell they were talking about, seeing as how there are some sexy as hell Isreali ads. (And women, oh god Isreali women so prettty)

I was reading other comments, I don't know if you are still reading comments or if you have left. That other person's post was pretty rude and messed up but I wanted to ask you a legitimate question, I hope it doesn't come off as rude or confrontational.

It is most rude. That question contributed to me feeling uncomfortable about my race my whole young life, cause I didn't know how the f*** to answer. I only just recently got to a place where I am comfortable with my race, but that doesn't mean I want to answer any questions about it. So the next time you want to ask…

If the Western world is going to continue to make these culturally appropriated fetishistic sexualized illusions of different cultural dress, and people are going to continue to wear them, yes you are going to have to deal with people of that culture being offended by them, some of them will be, some of them won't be,…

Ugh that's so messed up too. I remember a girl in my high school who had an ED and she struggled and struggled with her weight. When the treatment finally stuck and she was gaining weight back, people, the same people who had called her a "lollipop head" for being so thin had the audacity to say she was getting…

I don't know if she is shamelessly garnering accolades, I mean she has always been about acceptance of self no matter what color or shape you are. I really do think her "popstars don't eat" was a facetious comment but it is possible, as she has claimed she suffers from ED herself that she has her bad days and good…

Exactly. Of course Lady Gaga can experience the pain of an eating disorder, but she still has the privilege of being white in a country that values white beauty. Being a WoC and overweight, especially a darker WoC is an even bigger struggle because there are those who judge you based just on the color of your skin as…

:D

Ugh you have no idea. Do you read the comics? Season 9 is getting pretty good.

His is much more advanced.

LOL, as I saw the headline for the article I was just thinking that...

Does the isolation between single men and women in Iran also create this factor? How do they court on a normal basis?

I'm not sure how much these generalizing observational catch all's of genders is really helping us. I'm kind of tired of it really.
