There are definitely situations where you need to get right to the point and not try to cloak things in kindness. BUT (and I had this discussion earlier on another article), often your entire point can be lost in the way you speak and the words you choose. Many a valid point is lost because you said it in a rude or…

The only man I live with is 6 so I have yet to experience any of that washing yet...and if any lady juices get on anything I usually rinse them in the bathtub before putting them in with my clothes. I've been dealing with a sinus infection for two weeks and the thought of any of that coming out of me ends up anywhere…

Snot and skin cells or hair are not the same. I also find cloth diapers to be pretty gross too. But get this! Everyone has different opinions of things. Shocking, I know, but disposable tissues and pads and toilet paper were invented for a reason...cause somewhere along the way someone thought, hmm, instead of…

Counterpoint: Ew

My point is that her point was automatically lost on me the second she said "so why don't you put aside your privilege and listen for once". Keep pretending that you don't understand that though, it's cute.

I think that's exactly what they are trying to tell us with this study...we have not tried nearly enough diets in our lives.

8 is the average??? Forgive me lord for I have sinned....also I need to start a lot of diets.

Actually, the tone of a comment significantly impacts the content of the comment. Part of being an adult is knowing how to make your point tactfully. The whole argument of this is not the same as that is lost when you end your comment with "so why don't you put your privilege aside and listen when someone says…

I completely completely agree with you there. And that's why I think often people are not aware that they may have crossed a line. This is when intention does become important. We all take parts of other cultures that we consider to be beautiful or important or interesting and incorporate them into our lives to…

My stop lecturing comment had nothing to do with race. It had to do with tact in presenting an argument. You could have easily said that homie and hoodrat are not equivalent because one is a racial slur and one is not considered to be without going to add the "so why don't you listen when someone tells you something"…

Beyond the incredibly random weird tips they come up with, I really do wonder who they are targeting with these articles. Cosmo is supposed to be the grown sexy woman magazine, but any woman who is grown and has experienced sex knows all these moves they scream about being new. "Rub his nipples playfully.." WHY HAS NO…

I can see where you are coming from. The author says she said she "respects the debate" but used no quote to indicate exactly what she meant by that (did she say she understands that people were offended and realized after it was a mistake or say something dismissive like "everyone is entitled to their opinions I…

First of all, calm down with the lecturing. You don't know me and you know nothing about me so stop with the privilege bs. I don't go around calling anyone a hood rat. Katy Perry calls her best friend a hood rat, apparently. If Rihanna had a problem with it then she probably wouldn't do it. Whore and slut are gendered…

Who is giving her a pass?? What she did was wrong but their is a difference between not knowing something is offensive and knowing it is and not caring. And being obsessed with another culture isn't wrong. That whole I want to wear them was a joke she made because she knew she was coming off as a creep. Also, who…

Unless she continues to use the same imagery in future performances, I don't think you can say she's learned nothing. Sometimes shaming people into not repeating a behavior is enough, regardless of whether or not they believe what they did was wrong. I say this because I have had to deal with a lot of ignorance from…

I barely understood any of the words in this article because holy shit she looks gorgeous on the cover!! Love the lip color especially!

I remember Beyoncé saying in some interview that when she performs she wears something like 4 pairs of nylons to keep everything looking nice and tight, so I don't think this is new for her.

The conversation on the couch was the most emotionless discussion of a separation/marriage I've ever seen.

I agree!! Especially with the R.Kelly nonsense. She has so obviously tried to back away without actually taking a stand or saying "hey I didn't think this thing through and in light of recent articles I am distancing myself". Nope. She re-releases a version with Christina because "people loved the live version with…

I especially like the part where she says it's a horrible word that she can't defend, which is why she used it as a term of endearment for her white son. O_o
