I'm not a 38D and above, but I WANT NON-PADDED BRAS!!!!!!!! Where are all the non-padded bras??? When the fuck did it become so shameful to have nipples?!? I work outside all day and don't need the fucking insulation and sure don't need any fucking MODESTY padding. What the fuck else is all that fucking padding…

Bra makers: please for the love of Christ make unlined bras for us 38D's and above. I don't need or want padding! Not even nipple covers. Don't care & don't want the added bulk. Thanks!

There is a gloriously cranky woman in Philadelphia who has a bra fitting place and it's the only place I buy bras now. I walked in for the first time and she took one look at my chest and shouted "NO! At least two sizes wrong! Get in the changing room right now!"

Plus, look how fucking angry Fitz gets when things don't go his way with women. OMG.

so,woc of color don't know what white women go through concerning sexism? mainstream feminism consists of nothing but white women's narratives.

Seriously? That was my point. As a white woman I don't deal with racism, just sexism. A lot of the stereotypes in this article are rooted in sexism, so all women face them. Then you add on the racism such as being "an angry black woman". I was acknowledging that it was different and it sucks. You dont need to tell me…

Also, was it just me or did this sound like a fancy version of 'she's pretty for a dark girl'?

Can I just say how much I appreciate this? I originally replied that I loved those characters and didn't see them as 'ABW' then deleted it for good reason.

"Ms. Rhimes chose a performer who is older, darker-skinned and less classically beautiful than Ms. Washington, or for that matter Halle Berry."

The only person who is angry, ALL THE TIME, is Mellie. Who is white. Super duper white.

I think I heard her on the say it on the Oprah show about her. This was a dumb reporter and really sad because this is a huge moment for WOC. She writes shows that are dynamic, interesting and gossipy without losing wit or relying on tired story lines and in a time when people think reality TV killed scripted shows.…

This is ridiculous considering the character most like her by her own words is Christina Yang.

Black women aren't allowed to be upset or vulnerable — they're just angry. Black women are not allowed justifiable reactions to the myriad of bullshit — racist, sexist and otherwise — that they face. Oh, you know those black ladies are just so angry all the time.

Excellent article, Kara.

BURT, YOU INSPIRE ME:

Off topic, and infuriating:

That'll be me.

"Why are women so afraid to say "no" and instead lie to get out of a situation as quickly as possible?"

Er, did you see what happened when they actually said no?

Whaaaa? First Kenneth Brannagh, now this superb specimen of manhood?

Some people think he was a paedophile.
