"Butts Are Back FOR WHITE PEOPLE"

"Her literal use of people as props"

Okay.... but can we talk about the problematic and racist nature of her performance? Her literal use of people as props? Her association of her newfound sexuality with the traditional codifiers of black female culture, thereby perpetuating the Jezebel stereotype that black women are lewd, lascivious and uncontrollably…

What this totally skips over is that "I feel" and "I think" is actually a technique taught to you by different therapies (CBT, DBT, non-violent communication, etc) that help people have healthy relationships. The purpose of I statements is to be able to communicate your needs without getting derailed into a discussion…

There I was, a perfectly heterosexual (though chaste) woman with a library card. I checked out the book, never suspecting the devastating effect it would have on my life. The content of the book itself was no problem, but when I turned to the author's biography, I suddenly saw the words that changed me forever: he…

Just a minor point to bring up for discussion. Is there something to be said about how these just are strictly vulva of white cis women? DISCLAIMER: Obviously, I could be wrong about any of the vulva depicted. But if they are just white cis women...I just wonder about such a profound empowerment statement leaving…

I... don't love the idea of that role being played by any child. "I Know Things Now" is a snoodge on the suggestive side, and "Hello Little Girl" is way past a snoodge.

I hate how shows like this show straight people denigrating the sanctity of gay marriage.

Aw man. He should have called them "uplifting messages" instead.

This article is clearly the appropriate time to show off my own vanity plate:

BORING. I was hoping for Benedict Diana Cumberbatch.

BUTT why, you mean.

In the words of my cousin Tyler when he was 3, "Don't! DO! Don't! DO! Don't! DOOOOO!" Also:

Okay, I see this thread mushrooming into something terrible, so I'm going to try to respond as best I can to what you're expressing. For me, as a white woman, there was never a question that Zimmerman was guilty. There was never a question about whether I'd side with Martin. There was only the question of how far…

Minorities & women are seen as being complicit in their own injuries in ways that white men aren't. Trayvon Martin was followed at night by a stranger, ends up being killed, and debate ensues about the part he played in the situation. Much like how women are raped and debate ensues over the role she played in her own…

Overly broad generalizations aside (which I'm sure you recognize, but I can't say I blame you in this very moment even as a white woman), your statement that "Minorities & women are seen as being complicit in their own injuries in ways that white men aren't" makes me want to cry. It's incredibly poignant, moving,…

Don't know, do they?. Guess you gotta ask other Black people. We're not a monolith, ya dig.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a cohort of Jezzies that aren't so great at handling their white privilege. Pretty much anywhere you go where there are white people, there are going to be some white people who are particularly bad a dealing with their privilege. That's not a surprise.
