I think you have a lot to learn about "accurate discussions".

What privilege do I have to wear a headdress that a Black or Asian person is lacking? If anything, I have anti-privilege as apparently all actions of all white people ever are square on my shoulders disabling me from free expression in clothing. Because some white dudes disrespected a culture, I can't make use of that…
You certainly have the right to make baseless generalized statements about people you don't know, and you are doing this quite well currently. I am not attacking anyone with my opinion, but apparently having an opinion you don't share makes me a racist asshole. How about growing up and discussing issues instead of…
She doesn't have the right because...? Because you say so? Does that mean I get to tell you not to wear pants because it's a white thing? I am super offended that you realized pants are comfortable and versatile and since I am white and get to say how white things are used by non-white people, you don't have the right…
You might want to check facts and statistics before saying the truth makes me racist. In my opinion there are more pressing issues than clothing. If that makes me racist fine, but if pointing out real problems in a society makes me racist then I should probably be opening my mouth a hell of a lot more.
Totally agree, people get to be offended by whatever they choose. But that doesn't mean I think their offense should change what I or others decide to wear.
I feel you that I have white privilege, and that helps me in things like job interviews and not being followed while shopping. But it has nothing to do with what I wear. Black or Asian women could (and do) wear clothing from other ethnic groups, so this isn't really a white thing.
I don't care about the hurt that I cause. Not because I don't care about other people, but because I care about my rights. I don't have the right to physically harm someone, and would never even consider doing so. But, I do have the right to wear, think and say whatever the fuck I feel like. So do they. So they have…
Ok, so the problem isn't that she is wearing it, the problem is that she is a she and not a he?
I have to be given them because... you say so? Other people say so? Or so that I don't have to be worried that you will be pissed? I'm sorry, I don't dress for you, or for others, or for you not to be pissed. If you don't like what I wear, don't wear it.
This is ridiculous, so what if someone wants to use, or "re-appropriate", an idea or concept in their art? I'm white, but I like to wear Indian saris, Thai fisherman pants and even Muslim-style hijab/ hair covering, along with any other kind of interesting clothing I can get my hands on. If I had a headdress, I would…
Logic!
I know, that is exactly the thing I noticed. He is like "Oh god, the shame. The shame...".
I'm Annie Natural, which fits me perfectly as I am a red-headed hippie.
I lol'ed.
Bibamus didn't say "get over being raped". S/He just made the point that getting upset over someone else's speech is rather useless. Yes, it annoys me if I am cat-called; however, it also annoys me when Christians strike up a conversation with me about Jesus when I am trying to walk to class. Are either threatening?…
...? What the hell is the point of this post?
Their choices aren't being limited, they can still get formula. The only difference is now formula is being treated as it should be: as a medication that does in fact have some negative side effects. This is the same as putting Plan B behind the counter; the purpose is not to make it more difficult for women to…
It is ok if you want to feed your child formula, but women should know it is not the healthiest option. Formula doesn't have the antibodies, nutrients, etc. that breastmilk has. If you aren't producing enough then I can understand using formula as an addition. However, acting like it is somehow an affront on mothers…
