Oh for fuck's sake. What Martha said above is true but your attempt to squeeze in your libertarian shit is just vile. White society in America is racist at its core. It doesn't change if it is left or right.

I feel your pain as a racist white woman so much right now. Those scary brown and black people are out to get you. It is always about you. Always.

Paula Deen is melting quicker than butter in a deep fryer.

And sometimes, in the wonderful system of capitalism, companies also have to realize when said R&D along with prototypes is a sunk cost and walk away from it. Virtual Boy was a waste of money in the long run for example.

Mursi has far stronger ties with the USA/Israel then he has with Iran. The antagonistic attitude towards Shi'a in Egypt and his stance on the Syrian crisis make that clear. S_T_R points out correctly that the Gulf States and Iran are in a cold war of sorts. Also, Saudi Arabia is a regional power making it a logical…

There is a special subset of ~40+ yr old gay men who age with all the grace one can expect from someone thinking that AF makes them look like a twink. Think Amy Poehler in Mean Girls but as a gay man.

I've gotten negging before but it comes off as so clumsy and awkward. In my case, it it is the eye color thing - are they real - blah blah - but the real kicker is when they also fold in my skin color as if to highlight the eye color in their neg. Ugh. The negging is bad enough but then to more or less act racist to…

I did too and I think that the homophobic aspect being played up neglects the complexity of the sentiment behind it. Yes, there is a homophobic root in the insult but it stems from the idea that the "fundraiser" masquerading as a wedding is a sham and that they are lucky it is legal for them to do it as a same-sex…

Isn't the BMI now treated as near irrelevant for children/teenagers? I was told that long long ago when growing up that the BMI was a measurement tool for adults.

What is there not a stock photo of?

I am more confused by the belief that she thinks people want her and love her. Being the trainwreck that everyone can't turn away from shouldn't be a life goal or a sign of being loved. That should be the red flag for stupidity.

I hope they clarify this. I skipped this generation (first time since the days of NES) and I would love to just get the PS4 in 2014 so I can play the Final Fantasies and Grand Theft Autos I missed alongside some other games... and not spend 300 USD or so to pick up a 'new' ps3. I hope they give a fair price on the…

It does change the dynamic (I'm saying this as someone that does not go often to LGBT spaces for a myriad of reasons). There are many problems in the gay community related to racism, sexism, and classism but heterosexual females do change the atmosphere of a place. Your view, that you want a space to claim within…

Apparently Huffington Post is a clothed and ever so slightly more diverse Abercrombie and Fitch catalog.

You are very right on this.

I do not disparage local movements that understand their own situation better than a group of white women that justify a country's occupation and destruction by an invader. If you go to RAWA's website, you'll see they are not terribly keen on Americans wrecking their country or having their movement appropriated by…

"But I'm a white feminist that votes Democrat. I can never be racist, classist, or a cultural appropriator and you're just bigoted and not-openminded enough if you criticize my actions! Now let me go back to eating my quinoa, while I talk about saving some women in another country."

The initial sociology comment was directed towards me. I do not care for most sociology nor view his/her framing of that subject (flawed as it may be) as correct. What I see here (and yes, it screams American or perhaps certain parts of Europe), is a strain of white privilege and Orientalism.

Here's a pro-tip: Jezebel does not equal what I do for research. Am I going to lay out a detailed theoretical framework for a post here? No. The stuff here reminds me of even less nuanced versions of the shit I hear from people in my day-to-day life.

Hahaha. No. I never have taken sociology. Never looked at it. I'm aware of it but it doesn't interest me. Especially the majority of it taught in the USA. I've heard the horror stories from WoC and people not from the US at the graduate level. Full of privileged white men and women talking down to brown people, while…
