The problem is white women, who objectively have it pretty good, often drown out women of color and transgender women, who objectively have it way fucking worse.

I suspect she is on the young side, only because I know, as a former pretty little white shoplifter, that there can be a lag between becoming aware of your privilege and realizing how fucked up it is to consciously take advantage of it. I hope her "novel research" doesn't go beyond her scheme with the library book,…

I explained what I meant by "in some ways" in the post.

In an interview. Nobody asked Beyonce to make this.

"I always consider myself a feminist, although I was always afraid of that word because people put so much on it. When honestly it's very simple. It's just a person that believes in equality for men and women.

Someone who thinks that shoplifting for "novel research" is a good idea probably needs to be told that they're already so far removed from the real world that it doesn't actually matter.

Wow...this sounds like a bunch of self indulgent crap.

Are you black? I ask only because for black women, the idea of not wanting to hurt black men by reporting them is a tale as old as time and not even remotely surprising. Why do you think black women have some of the highest rates of DV and sexual assault? Because we don't trust law enforcement either, and we know that…

You're welcome to dislike her but that's a dumb question.

Thank you for addressing this in such a straight-forward way. Mayweather may be a lot of despicable things but the death of subsequent suicide of the guy shouldn't be attributable to him. (unless something really crazy is exposed).

The fuck? As much as a scumbag Mayweather is, he didn't goad this dude into murder/suicide. Judging from the lyrics from 2010, the ideation had been going on for a long time.

Girl, please.

SPOILER ALERT: One person calls it "Mail Kimp."

Not trolling, legitimately asking RE the Garner case: What are your mixed feelings?? It's on video. There's no question as to what actually transpired, so I'm curious about how you have mixed feelings on the facts because it's not as if there are conflicting witness accounts as in the Brown case.

But don't you think it's possible that some commentors (me, for example) do see it as satire and telling an uncomfortable truth in an amusing way. Is it the best example of it in the world? No. But, IMO, the joke isn't "get a black friend so you look diverse and someone will teach you how to dance," the joke is "this…

I hear you. But might do it again.

Let the tears flow.

I think you have a different case. Like, you would be there more if you could but you really just can't right now, rather than you won't be there because the whole situation freaks you out. When I got divorced, mostly what I wanted was people to act normal around me, be cool, hang out, don't be awkward or assume I…

I remember reading that it's actually the bookstores who take on a lot of the risk. So, if I understand correctly, the publisher could have made up the advance already by selling like a bajillion copies to Barnes&Noble, Indigo, Amazon, etc. who now have the responsibility of moving the books to recoup their…

Those seem like really low profit margins. Lena got $3.7 million? If each book nets the publisher, say, $10, she's going to have to sell ten times as many books as she has already before the publisher begins to see profit.
