I love penguins!! So adorable! But...I can't watch penguins in aquariums/captivity without thinking of Happy Feet....and that makes me sad. Especially after watching the documentary Blackfish (not about penguins, but does address the horrors of captivity).

simonedeboudoir is a pretty toxic individual on this site. I just had an argument with her on another thread (the one on MRAs) calling her out on her horrid Islamophobia and in turn she called me a fake feminist because I'm a practicing Muslim who identifies as a feminist. I told her that Islamophobia is a form of…

Well, I just read some of your other comments on Jezebel and it seems I'm not the only one calling you out on your racism, bigotry, and ignorance. That may be a hint. Just confirms that your comments can't be taken seriously. Good luck with whatever you're trying to do.

I love this tumblr. I'd forgotten about it though, so thank you for posting it! :)

You have no idea what racism is. Let me guess, you're white? You probably believe reverse racism exists, don't you? Your hate, Islamophobia, and racism have blinded you. You can't even see the irony of telling a Muslim feminist that she is a fake feminist and then implying that we're intellectually inferior. Wow.…

You don't know anything about Islam. So stop acting like you do.

Every argument you've made is exactly the argument of Islamophobes. Nothing I haven't heard before from right-wing extremists. Just because you deny it does not mean you're not a bigot. And just because you don't understand what bigotry and ignorance is also does not mean you are not a hateful bigot. Your comment…

I'm glad you don't make any effort to hide your Islamophobia and total hate of Muslims. As well as your complete and utter ignorance. You have as much credibility to talk about Muslims as MRAs have to talk about women. You and MRAs - different sides of the same hate-filled, ignorant, and oppressive coin.

"My mistake here was taking the subject of the headline at face value and responding in a serious manner. I have an interest in body language and psychology etc, so I was coming at the discussion from that angle. Probably the wrong arena."

Yes. I agree. You read waaaaaay too much into three pictures of one person in…

Nah. It just seems like you're looking for a reason to put brown men down and/or demonstrate your generalizing skills. More than likely Lima had limited contact with locals. And even if she did, and if they did behave with her as you say they did, (since you know Dubai so well) I doubt that a few minutes of it would…

So why can't H&M maintain affordable prices and increase workers' wages by deciding to decrease their profits? Of course, multinational corporations would never do that. They want us to pay more to them out of our paycheques but would never consider taking in a few million less, out of millions, to ensure livable…

Yes. Perfectly said!

Yes. I've noticed this too! I thought it was just me being a hyper-aware but it does seem that people are saying "Merry Christmas" almost as a "fuck you" to those of us who don't celebrate. It's hard to take it in other ways considering how much hate is spewed this time of year toward non-Christians. (I know not all…

Just to add and in light of another post on Jez, I do agree with the critique of her use of the word 'whore.' I don't know why I didn't notice it earlier. I still think her critique is really good, but, yes, her use of the word is wrong and shouldn't be supported.

I didn't think I could love and admire Rashida Jones any more than I do. But I was wrong. This woman is dead on. I've always been an advocate of everyone being aware of the social consequences of their actions. We live in a a very unjust and imperfect world. It's a patriarchal mess. I think we should be aware of how…

I agree with you. It's a stupid joke and not at all equivalent to ATM machine. In the ATM case you actually say the word 'machine' twice so it's redundant. With the 'Ansari sari' thing it is only the repetition of a sound.

And anyways, if you say 'Ansari sari' in the proper desi(South Asian) way then they're not even…

I know what you mean. It seems to ruin the style of it. It no longer looks like a sari. It just looks like a sexy wrap.

I hope they will also focus on rape and sexual assault perpetrated by American and British forces against Iraqis and Aghans, both women and men. There are so many horror stories there as well.

That's just it. Women directors do not mean progress. If they're perpetuating racism and xenophobia then that may as well have been some rich white dude behind the camera. It really makes no difference and it is not revolutionary or anything to be celebrated.

Agreed. I am so not impressed by her.
