Again, not saying it doesn’t happen, just that there’s a stronger racist association with black people being from “the jungle” or similar than simian similes. I’m not defending H&M, just pointing out that excuses of cultural ignorance COMPLETELY ignores half of the offending slogan.

Swedish. Hi.

We’re talking about the girl who walks into an established story and impresses Han Solo the first time she flies the Millennium Falcon so much that he immediately makes her co-captain, right?

Thing is, people at the gym, we’re there because we know what it’s like to want to change something about our bodies. It’s not people AT the gym who are (usually) going to give you shit for wanting to work out, we’ve ALL been there (and most of us are still - we’re just more comfortable in it), it’s the people who…

Relax, this is a progressive diner where yellow minifigs and yellow minifigs can eat next to each other in piece.  

I recognize the humor in the situation you’re proposing, but you suggested that the picture was weird because it was for the male gaze. My argument is that while it’s for the male gaze, it’s still just plain a weird picture, regardless of who it’s for.

I don’t know enough about Argento outside her dad weirdly having her undress in movies a lot, so I can’t comment on anything she’s done recently, but there are risks in speaking out against powerful people for men and women alike. Up until very recently, both Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were written off as jokes in…

But there’s also 0 requirement for a militia the way you describe them envisioning it. Even if the idea is sound, you don’t even need to be able-minded, let alone able-bodied (or even part of a militia) to own a gun. Surely it’s at the very least fair to say that the way things have worked out is very different from…

I don’t actually disagree with what you say, but I actually find that the blanket term “toxic masculinity” oversimplifies what I agree are very complex issues, especially when it comes to assigning blame. With a term like “toxic masculinity”, there’s zero doubt who the Bad Guys are supposed to be, so when it’s men’s…

This is the problem with patriarchy and toxic masculinity: it reinforces harmful and untrue ideas like (a) all men and boys will take sex whenever and however they can get it

A recent interview with comedian DeRay Davis proves that not all pedophiles are men

That would add another layer of tragedy to an already insanely tragic story.

An influencer is just a role model for cool kids. ;)

I love the internet.

You’re kinda dismissing Sarah Silverman’s popularity, power and influence because she’s a woman. There’d be people who’d believe her, there’d be people who wouldn’t - there always will be. She’s not some first year stand-up making the rounds, she has as much responsibility to risk her career by going after a powerful…

Name change 1,979.

The legal term is a “whoopsie”.

What the FUCK was a 17-year old and 19-year old going to do with a fucking EIGHT YEAR OLD’S sneakers? Even fucking selling them, how much could they fucking make? Absolutely heartbreaking. That poor dad, that poor child, that poor family. I hate to see someone’s life get thrown away at 17, but at 17, you also fucking…

I agree completely, but you also need to accept that especially as a mainstream artist people are going to emulate you, possibly without proper context or understanding of what they’re doing. If they accept that, then mazel tov. But worst case scenario, you’ve got someone like E.L. James getting rich off of 50 Shades…
