Plenty of white people were in fact oppressed.

Lynchburg may not be the "deep south crazy racist redneck wasteland", as you claim, but it is the most ass backwards, bible thumping, scared of gays city in VA.

They're clearly not upset or they'd pull their children as well. If you say you're upset and do nothing, you're WORSE than the jackass administrators.

That asshole school is called Timberlake Christina, which means they named it after two Mouseketeers.

I don't understand why it's necessary for anyone to integrate their religion with the education of their children. Just like I had classmates all my life who went to extracurricular courses on Saturdays (for Mandarin, for Hebrew, etc), I think that if parents need someone else to teach their children about religion,…

I'd like to submit this picture and blog-post of my parent's house. My father does this every year, and it is an insane psychadelic christmas art piece. My parents immigrated here from El Salvador and love the shit out of America,so upon finally getting to own their own house with family they went a little crazy for…

This represents about 1/10 of my collection of trees. I buy them from Marshall's and Home Goods and I CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY!

"Versatility is what we look for."

"That's a weird sort of way at looking at it because you don't judge comedy that way," Mr. Michaels said. "Versatility is what we look for."

As a woman in a polyamorous trio...fuck you. Monogamy works for some people, and no one should judge anybody else's relationship choices by declaring that they are "natural" or "unnatural."

You know what? Even when you put in a kindly worded letter of resignation and two weeks there is no guarantee you will get a good recommendation in the future. A lot of companies have policies in place that forbid management to give recommendations; they're only allowed to confirm that a person worked there.

Adultism (prejudice and discrimination against young people) is one of the few acceptable forms of oppression and discrimination left in our society and I'm seeing it rampant here. Knocking/mocking this person's experience ("it's only been two years, pah!"), 'oldsplaining' (like mansplaining, but when an older person…

I think that's a valid point, but I also think it a mark of millennials to put their lives, relationships, and happiness above any job.

Oh please. Don't you see similar problems with, say, chivalry? It's about kindness and respect on its face, but because it's deeply problematic, a lot of people agree that it's better to do away with the concept of chivalry and replace it with actually being nice to people regardless of their gender.

It's an archaic formality, which does not prevent an individual from being as passive aggressive as they wish to be anyways. Southern women are know for their polite rudeness. The "politeness" is for fools too thick to read between the lines.

So if sexy clothes = no self-respect, what does that say about women who (GASP!) wear different sorts of clothes in different contexts? If I wear a conservative suit to work and then change into a latex bikini before I go out in the evening, does that mean my self-respect was high all day and then mysteriously plunged…

Eesh, I really don't like that. I just think that genuine respect isn't conveyed through using terms like sir and ma'am and formal tenses—it's conveyed through being respectful.

It is weird. And all other issues aside, it seems dumb (and problematic for genderqueer and androgynous folks) to constantly refer to people's gender. It's like, just so you don't forget, we're choosing to categorize you first and foremost as a member of your gender!

Ms. Robertson seems like a lovely young lady. But as a New Englander, can I just say I think it's HILARIOUS to hear kids who were raised to say "sir" and "ma'am" whenever addressing an adult?

Exploiting power imbalances is pretty much the point of being a cult leader, historically.
