Everyone else has done a great job of showing you how you're wrong vis a vis racism, so I'll just be the history pedant here who says "Greeks didn't wear togas."

Considering the original poster is nowhere to be scene I think he was a troll and deserving of every bad thing they got. Sorry.

I disagree. I think that's a bullshit myth. I think women are far kinder to each other as a whole and men as a gender are much more critical and mean and judgmental towards women.

Instead of having to go to multiple threads to say the same thing, I'm going to put my response to the Emily Yoffe fiasco here and hope it explains a few things about the reason pieces like her's are a problematic. And it's not because those who have a problem with her have "reading comprehension skill issues". It's…

I think the idea is that she may miss how offensive blackface can be. As far as the Greeks/Romans/Celtic inspired theme... That history is told in depth in many places. Do you know about the Mali/Songhai empire? Do you know the story of Sundiata? Most people do not, so to address the costume nature of this with our …

Do you have any idea how much time the writers at Jez would spend educating the masses if they took the time to respond to each ignorant comment that followed an article they had penned. They aren't paid enough nor is it their job. The comment was ignorant. Fact. It's not like there aren't a dozen helpful people…

It's not like this is the first ever article that's ever popped up on Jez, and as mentioned, awareness over this issue has been going on for 30 years. Face it, you're failing the class because you skipped too many days and now you're asking a classmate to tutor you when you just stole her glitter pen last week.

Ignorant is not an insult. It's just stating that someone lacks a certain perspective that would be beneficial to understanding anything in its proper context. If she would have said "You are incredibly stupid", then that would be an insult. You can change ignorance. People just don't want to b/c it's inconvenient.

But that's the end of it. The only advice that gets sent out is "don't get raped", and the "don't rape" side of the conversation is totally silent.

Well for starters, there are black Scots. Plenty of them. I lived there and gave birth to three half-black ones. So a black man in a kilt could very well be from Morningside, Govan, Kilwinning or Melrose.

Jesus, Mississippi thinks these guys should tone it down.

That's actually a really awful joke if you unpack it. The going excuse for a longtime for why men deserved to be paid more is because they were supporting families. Now most families are supported by a single mother, with two working parents coming in second. Men really aren't supporting women and children anymore…

Because I was 24. :(

I want to be Mrs. S! That woman sounds like my kind of hero.

Seriously how can you say no to that face? That teen bitchface?

Please. She is wearing a badass red blazer.

We're not good enough for those men. They're entitled to women who are gorgeous (and may or may not have other characteristics, since those are of secondary importance) because they have a few extra dollars to throw around.

Why is it that every time a guy says "I'm a nice guy" he's turns out to be a complete ass hole.

We're failing to address that the boys in this scenario also were sneaking out at 1 a.m. and consuming alcohol. None of them expected to get raped, and no one expects them to expect to get raped.

I totally hear what you're saying. But I'd also like to note that I am an adult, and I go out at 1am, I expect the following things to happen: I might forget that whiskey is a fickle bitch who always does me wrong, I might decide I'm an amazing dancer, I might make out with a stranger, I might eat an embarrassing…
