    Why is it that Americans are infinitely more comfortable with black men playing sassy, matronly black female characters in drag, as Kenan Thompson frequently does on the show, than with black women playing black female roles?

    I agree... the guy is obviously a) trying to stir shit or b) adamant about some sort of "male bonding" experience for these young guys.

    I don't have a problem with Hooters... it's vilified way past the point which it probably deserves, especially in comparison to most independently-owned sports bars, Tilted Kilt, etc.…

    I'm saying that people, especially kids, can think for themselves much more that anyone seems to give them credit for. Not every experience you have in life turns into a learned, conditioned behaviour.

    It seems so easy to imply that anything that happens leads every male on a downward spiral of misogyny.

    "Men need to get in touch with their feelings"

    Man exposes feelings... gets ridiculed.

    Eighth grade boys don't typically sit around in groups discussing nothing but banging nearby chicks. In fact, aside from your average stereotypical frat douche, men in general don't sit around in groups discussing every chick in the vicinity.

    Random erections happen no matter what... I'd prefer to be sitting when it happens.

    H+

    "And" what? My comment was a direct response on why she doesn't date anyone other than white guys on the show. I'm sure she has a say.

    Phantom of the Paradise?

    Maybe she personally likes white guys...

    Sexiest thread ever.

    Using "feminine" things doesn't bother me in the least. I honestly couldn't give a fuck less. In fact, my favorite deodorant is Secret... I love that baby powder smell.

    Ha!

    "I still mantain "mansplain" is essentialist"

    Most sane person in here.

    I live in a major metro, as I think you know

    I think they just mean the Aryan gang on the show... not Nazis running rampant in the real world.

    Well the article states that it's "irrational" to hate her. It's really not. She's an asshole, as is nearly everyone else on the show. Should she get a pass simply for being female? Should she she get outlandish amounts of shit for being a female?

    IMO, no either way... however, she's still an asshole.

    Good fucking lord.
