You're correct, you didn't say it. The original poster did. It's quoted in the second post in this thread, and has been the topic of discussion of all of the messages in this sub-thread.

Given the demand that started this discussion, people have only two acceptable options: agree for the sake of being agreeable or…

It's touched on very lightly in this Wikipedia article.

When an author of a post specifically calls out for a group of people to "admit" something and they respond by saying they won't admit it because it's not true, that is not derailing. If I came on here and wrote Admit it straight people, you're homophobic! and straight readers DIDN'T respond by saying I was wrong I'd…

I'm going to suggest that in the future before you make any claims about the whiteness of Jewish people that you do some actual reading on the subject. It's quite fine that you're upset about the historical issue of black face, not quite as fine that you're dismissive of the historical issue of Jewish ethnicity and…

Maybe it's because people who are not dedicated racists don't walk around with encyclopedic knowledge of what things are racist.

Funny. I keep reading your posts and having to remind myself "Not all straight people are like that."

Digitally. No one particularly cares if you masquerade as a person of any race inside a video game environment where you get to design your character (although a couple of ultra PC people have branded this "racial tourism" and want to put a stop to that too.)

Jezebel is the absolute last place I'd ask a question like…

Since there is a good chance the OP is at least one of these things: straight, cisgendered, non-disabled, and/or young, I'd also recommend to her not to use such broad language, because I or someone else could copy-paste her post, replace a few words and come back at her with a diatribe about how people like her are…

Clearly customers of all races will be better served in the future if a successful Black businessman immediately pulls out of his deal with an expensive retail chain that is providing visibility and prestige, as opposed to keeping a cool head and making internal changes to said business that will be effective. The…

It's meaningless without more info. We don't know if the other options are"we shop together" or "we switch duties."

A women's costume shaped like a hotdog or cockroach would look... exactly like a men's costume shaped like a hotdog or cockroach. Except for women with very large breasts, finding an unsexy costume shouldn't be hard, because most costumes thought of as "male" are actually ungendered. It's true that the packaging is…

Tread carefully. The elephant in the room here is affirmative action, which rests on the prerequisite that racial boundaries are concrete and that an applicant can be legally proven to belong to one race or another. I'm actually surprised no challengers to affirmative action have adopted the tactic of simply claiming…

I'm curious whether someone has investigated the possibility that this guy has a disease on the autism spectrum disorder, particularly Asperger's. Armchair diagnosis is of course irresponsible. But his original statements and his replies seem so literal and so blind to context that it makes me wonder.

Someone with Asperger's or a disorder on the Autism scale might be an exception. I obviously don't want do an armchair analysis from across the internet, but his original post reminds me a lot of someone I know with that disease.

I disagree with a side premise of this argument RE: men can be anything, men are not ornamental, etc. I hate to throw the word "heterocentric" around because it's a pretty extreme term. But gay men are expected to be beautiful and eternally youthful by our own allies. The reasons for it are complicated. A lot more…

If this is true I would guess it has something to do with how eldest children are also often assigned the dual role of child/teen and caregiver. That's how it was in my house at least. The elder kids helped raise the younger ones.

I'm not ready to speculate on how little "injustice" he's felt. He's presumably either gay or bisexual (based on his Facebook page). One of the naked photos makes a joking reference to how he prefers a "hung jury."

Okay some of the pics are corny and the cock shot is from a very unfortunate angle. The "I believe in a hung jury" photo though? If that popped up in a Adam4Adam chat I'd be driving to Delaware right now.

Fuck Perez Hilton so many ways. Okay, it's not fair to lay the gay marriage debate in his lap nor is it his fault that on some level gay (semi-)celebrities get scrutinized on a number of different wavelengths that straight ones just aren't. But the fact remains that this idiot got rich while making gay activists look…

Actually it's probably a nod to the fact that the real Laveau was thought to be a hairdresser.
