I've never been pregnant, this isn't even a maternal instinct issue. It's common sense.

Yeah I had to buy it in NYC a couple times. Imagine my delight (brief delight because damn if that pill doesn't make me feel like shit) to find it for 7 euros (less than 9.50 USD) in France.

This is the point everyone seems to be missing. At the end of the day you are paying for your own healthcare, not your boss.

Yeah, I don't really see the big deal about the cat. I'm pretty sure that in any given time in any country there is a cat perched on a street sign somewhere.

I have said a million times I don't think objectification is bad. Now you're conflating my views with other feminists because you have an ax to grind.

Well...obviously I disagree.

I don't think you know what hypocritical means.

All right well the brows, 'luminous' skin and even symmetry are most likely gifted to her digitally, but the rest is pretty typically west african. And I know striking and pretty are different. The 'striking' is a result (imo) of what we're usually exposed to, not her being particularly exceptional.

ugh I know (racist) white women will never stop with the whole 'a nigger did it' thing but every single time I read about it I'm so pissed off. It's just a violation. A black man who breaks every stereotype thrown at him and there he was, handcuffed and being escorted out of his home by the police, a gun trained on…

LOL do white people spend a lot of time whipping black people in 2014?

I have never argued against objectification as inherently problematic. It's not hypocrisy at all. You're the one arguing that some imaginary feminist thinks objectification is bad.

I think you're just refusing to understand the complexity of the issue. Any reasonable person can judge a light tap from a hard smack. One leaves a mark and lingering pain. Most reasonable (and educated) people know that a culture of objectification is damaging not because of one instance but because of the collect…

lol did u 4 real just say 'colored'

I would agree that it's not problematic, but I also understand the reaction and, as black woman, kind of roll my eyes at it too. I guess I was just trying to explain how it sometimes comes across, even if that isn't the intent.

Smacking someone lightly isn't usually a problem. They'll generally brush it off or interpret it as playful. Smacking them, with the exact same force but over and over and over and over again will become a problem. How harmless a thing is very often has to do with it's frequency and intensity. The most benign action…

I can't speak for anyone but myself but I don't think objectification is problematic in and of itself. I think a culture which continually and mercilessly objectifies one group, to that group's detriment, is a problem. If we had full equality, I'd like to think that a bit of objectification there and there wouldn't be…

I think what's being picked up on here is that the way her features are presented/edited makes her seem almost a caricature of blackness? It's like when white women see a big curly afro and go on and on about how 'beautiful' it is. Feels like exotification. She has big lips, high cheekbones and wide set, almond eyes…

there's nervous and then there's hitting your own mother. A kid who is moderately rude around strangers is a complete dick at home, no exceptions.

can you cite that majority of the assaulted women in military are assaulted by a higher up? I don't believe that's the case.

Nightlife and fashion photography are famous for tits. Mine are floating around all over the Internet (including gawker, actually) thanks to all the partying I did in NYC during my college years. I was told to show my tits so many times I began to do it without being asked. But guess what? I had a lot of fun and not…
