The story is not that the defendant is still blaming the victim. Doing so reinforces the idea that women still can't seek justice as citizens. This story is precisely the opposite. While you've highlighted everything that was done right by the prosecution, highlighting the defense inadvertently paints this story as a…
Yacht > book.
Okay so, I got trapped under a hair dryer in the salon, and read through a few of these rags. I've learned two things. 1.) What most of the people on The CW are doing when not performing (mostly nothing and posing a red carpets), and 2.) That the tabloids want us to believe that when very wealthy people break up, they…
Not to be nitpicky, just accurate. Looking mostly straight into the camera is not technically called a side-eye.
That was the most humiliating aspect of the show. But it was like pulling a bandage clean off.
You play too damn much.
Wait'll you get to your thirties. Then you'll be confronted with your version of Beyonce. And she's been making hits since she was 16.
Like GWAR. They have a great sense of humor, and it made me kinda said when I found out the leader singer died so young. Here's GWAR covering Billy Ocean's "Get Into My Car."
The trill is gone.
The trill is gone away.
So, we like Azealia Banks this week...
...until she beefs with some rando on Twitter, and we're back to hating her again.
M'kay.
I'm not sure what the ethnicities are of the producers, but it doesn't take a white body to perpetuate stereotypes about other people.
Well, I think the true measure of the success of Girlfriend Intervention isn't whether or not it's on the air. It's whether or not it gets picked up for another season. All the shows you mentioned lasted for two or more seasons, meaning the audiences were there. If the audience isn't here for Girlfriend…
So, I'm a pretty good dancer. Not because I'm born with it. But because I went to a few dance classes, know how to count, and know to move to the rhythm. That's not in my DNA, I effing learned how to do it. However...
If I am at a party or a club where there's music, and all the non-black people in the room are not…
Or assuming that all black women can sing like Jennifer Hudson. I love karaoke, but I seriously get performance anxiety when people expect me to saaaannng the hell out of Aretha Franklin, when I'm really singing Fiona Apple.
I do enjoy that one woman in particular noted that there is not one particular trait that transfers from one race to another. Gives me more hope that some of us are evolved enough not to fall for the bullsh*t.
True. Noticed it in the '70s as well with movies like Dirty Harry and Joe. However, that trope has been used to empower seemingly disempowered white men. Then Republicans get back in the White House, and suddenly they're magically empowered again and oddly quiet. Hmm, wonder how that works.
Unlike the Angry White Man…
I'm with you. While many will defend her approach as necessarily basic — the assumption being the humanity is obviously so basic that they need a crash course — is passive and lazy at best and insulting at worst. It assumes in our thousands of years of societal evolution, and talking about women's rights, that no one,…
YES! Even positive stereotypes have negative effects, because they are not interested in the fullness of the human being.
