The current trend in pop music seems to be women who are 30 and over pretending to be tweens...it's really fucking creepy.

That's not a burden of Judaism—that's a burden of religion, period.
Because, dummy, the psycho who shot all of those kids was not part of a political group and the killing was not a political statement. That is why he is not labelled a terrorist.
Uh, Africans aren't too keen on accepting black Americans either. Ahem, the term "akata" (sp.?). Just sayin'. Anyway, I don't think it's about sharing the sentiments of a line from a movie- a line that most people probably don't even remember- when it's likely more about feeling really disconnected from the culture.…
It's not a question of distaste, shame, or self-hate, but simply a lack of cultural connection. Italian-Americans & Irish-Americans describe themselves thusly because of an attachment to & identification with the those cultures. My family immigrated from the West Indies, & thus my chief identification is to that…
I don't think the first part of the commentary had anything to do with self-hate or not wanting to be associated with Africa, nor was it shade. I believe it was there to serve as commentary about why a group of people who have only known one country must self-identify in a way that makes them seem like they recently…
I don't mind being associated with Africa—I mind the double-standard that I'm called "African-American" when my family has been in America for 12+ generations and has no real ties to Africa, while my white friends (whose families emigrated 3-4 generations ago) are simply called, and self-identify, as American in…
Great post hwright, I just want to a add a little addendum. As a current student midwife and secretary of the Arizona Student Midwives association I don't know any LMs who allow a placenta to stay in as long as two hours. That is extremely dangerous for the reasons you already mentioned in your post. The midwife I…
I'm pretty sure what he's doing here would classify as 'whitesplaining.' This makes me confused and I don't like it. If you can whitesplain without even being white (just like it's possible to mansplain without being male,) perhaps the term 'whitesplaining' isn't what we're really looking for.
"Help help! I'm being oppressed!"
You know what's weird? Seeing your college classmate as a model for American Apparel.
I'm super confused about that as well. I've been menstruating since 1993 (woah, it just occurred to me that in started in April too, so happy 20th anniversary period! I love/hate you!), and as far as I can recall, the pad itself has never been pink, regardless of brand. Maybe the plastic backing, or the wrapper, but…
