Or if she actually served her punishment.

Nah.

It also gives the appearance that there is some knight in shining armor who is maddeningly in love with you and he will realize this once you kill yourself.

I thought the camera angles and direction of the rape scenes were the worse. The sexual assaults seemed sexual instead of assaults.

The premise of the 13th tape is idiotic. If she has already decided the counselor is a reason for her suicide by taping their conversation before knowing what he will say, then she is not really seeking help. He is just a party to her melodramatic revenge fantasy.

At the root of these biographies is that it is not feasible a successful black man would willingly choose a black woman when given the options of white woman.

The boys weren’t too old for statutory rape charges.

Ahh but the plaintiff can legally consent to sex with the defendants under Maryland statutory rape laws.

His poor, beautiful black girls.

I see no lies though.

There are plenty white people born in South Africa, Zimbabwe, etc. A lot of North Africans consider themselves of Middle Eastern or white heritage. A continent of birth doesn’t dictate race. But the easiest way to know someone’s race is to ask him. Montana has not (to my humble knowledge) described himself as a black…

No. You and the author are arguing that Adichie is implying trans women are not women or are not real women. She said no such thing, and in my estimation she didn’t imply it either.  Adichie was making an academic argument about the influence of male privilege on women who transition later in life, the blogger is…
