LOL sorry but you're ridiculous. photographers and photo editors aren't under the obligation to light and photograph everyone the exact same way. Maybe there should be a law that says photographers have to use certain lighting when photographing black people, lest there be faux-outrage on jezebel...
Yeah, I don't feel sorry for her. She could have easily nipped that on the bud.
Really? In the 1950s, a 51 year-old women asking for directions in a popular shopping district of major US cities could expect to be gang-raped? Oh please tell us more about the 1950s!
I don't see it as victim blaming. I see it as not giving tourism (and money) to a country that treats women poorly. I am from India. Where I was from, getting leered at, yelled at, creeped was so common, even if I'm just walking to the store. I am so glad this has come to light in the international community, and I…
The problem for the blog's author is that he is a black man in public.
My issue with this blog post was that it was crazy. It was exclusionary and inaccurate and wrong. My issue was the assumption that PIV was always rape and that women all share the same experiences to the same degree so "real" rapes are just the same as a catcall. My argument was that while patriarchy hurts us all,…
Rape is a key, unifying (sadly so) factor that affects women in the same way worldwide. It's not something that was generational (while the work women of her generation did made date rape an actual thing and brought more visibility to the issue). It's not as though rapes have stopped happening or women in the…
Many commenters brought that up, and he acknowledges it in the comments. MRAs are reactionaries; they are far more likely to get their foot in the door with the mainstream than a faction as wildly countercultural as the TERFs.
What guns would she be sticking to in this case? And remember, any discussion is based on an annual holiday card from a former presidential candidate, featuring the African-American infant of his non-political son.
So liberals should be immature little children like their conservative counter-parts and not apologized when they've done something fucked up even if that was not their intention? Hmm, sounds legit.
Bullshit. When you are bullied into making a false or dishonest apology, then of course it's a weakness, as it shows that your inner compass is at the mercy of external blowhards. But this is not a dishonest apology - it's clear that MPH stepped back, listened to criticism, analyzed her actions, and is apologizing…
She didn't apologize to conservatives — she apologized to transracial families. In doing so, she made it harder for conservatives to use what she originally said in a damaging way.
Acting like trans-racial adoptions are something to joke about though is tacky as hell, especially as a news reporter. As someone who is a product of a multiracial family and who was adopted, I cringe whenever I hear jokes like this or "Angelina be buyin' a baby" jokes. I despise the Romney's, but acting like they…
I especially like how accusing women of making false accusations isn't accusing them of telling lies.
Repeating crap doesn't make it true.
How are "falsely accusing" and "lying" not the same in your mind?
A false accusation IS a lie, genius. Every time you attack women with that you are calling them liars. When you say men were falsely accused you are calling their accusers liars.
Out of the thousands of players to have come through the FSU football program, how many do you know of that have been charged with sexual assault?
They called it a CHRISTMAS parade. You can't win em ALL conservatives!
WTF, are transwomen supposed to just be dudes who know so little about the internet that they think they have to expose themselves to prejudice and abuse so they can watch women pee through the cracks in the doors of the stalls in the ladies room?
