I was disturbed by two supposedly feminist friends’ reactions when I was in a middle of telling them about the first big argument I had with my boyfriend. We were both emotional and yelling and he started to cry as he expressed his frustration. My one friend seemed disgusted and said she “would have laughed right in…

Of course it was an argument of semantics.

According to Jia, that guy could not possibly be bullying Amy Schumer, because she has more money than he does.

Your screenname is apt, you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. Having a safe, proper outlet for aggression has helped to reduce violent offenses immensely. Rape is down and has been for years, which many people attribute to the ridiculously easy access to porn. It turns out, if you make it easy for most…

So that means you’re going to be doing exactly what you call out in the article by covering more YouTube drama for page views? Love it.

If it doesn’t have a spaceship on the cover, I’m not interested.

This strikes me as putting the cart before the horse.

Why have I never before heard “got two birds stoned at once”???? I’m going to have to use that all the time now.

To pretend that slaves were never happy or never had a good day or never smiled is to deny them a basic part of their humanity. That some were friendly with or even loved their masters is undeniable.

It is not offensive here in Hungary. I haven’t even heard about blackfase before, nor have the 99,9% of Hungarians, I guess.

You and the Hungarian woman of color seem to be the only sensible people in this entire pile of hateful comments. And I daresay the vast majority of the ones making those comments are the ignorant ones, oblivious to the fact that this woman was probably taking a risk to do this considering the harsh racial climate in…

This is a terrible article.

I’m sure this woman has no idea she’s being racist. I personally didn’t know blackface was bad until I read about it on American websites.

I would like to have that discussion too. I would like to read that article too as a Hungarian woman of color, but I’m too busy looking at everyone’s super cute dramatic gif war.

There is something very US-centric about responses to this. I’d be interested to know more about how this related to race & Hungarian history.

Could we have an actual discussion, maybe? Wouldn’t it be more helpful to explain to people who might not understand how this is not an appropriate way to draw attention to a worthy topic? Instead of mocking and condemning dogmatically, could we explore the ways that this cause could be better served, and educate one…

No, “women” as a whole are neither better at nor worse at anything than men are, but each of us has our own individual strengths or weaknesses (GASP I KNOW).

Good old General Veers, the only imperial officer that didn’t screw up.

I thought this was an interesting, proactive approach; provide cultural training to new immigrants based on what standards of behavior are expected in their new country.

Did anyone actually read the Yale professors response to the halloween costume letter?
