As someone with real scalp health issues (yes, they exist, and they are awful), the pressure to do this is awful. I am not af am, but my doctor treats primarily af am ladies who have serious balding/scalp/skin issues because of years of these treatments. It's just terrible.

Less media attention?

I think people really underestimate how much Jews who are obviously Jewish (because of their yarmulka etc.) experience harassment in this country, so she touched sore spot. Coming from her, I bet it was semantics - coming from someone else it might have been antisemitism. So it wasn't semantics - it was trivializing…

When you chose to specify another oppressive group, it stinks.

It should have been on the black experience, and the author side tracked it by bringing up Jews. Seriously? There's a whole group of people who argue that Jews don't experience discrimination in this country, and try to trivialize it, and she walked straight into it. Again, not comparing it AT ALL to the black…

Kara brought up the Jew Fro - it's on her. Honestly, for someone who (rightly) demands empathy from white people to others, she seems capable of zero empathy in her writings herself.

It was a crappy move of her to use the example in the case of another people who were horribly discriminated against. I 100% agree with her on the substance, but she isn't winning anyone to her side by playing the oppression olympics.

In my experience, looks are a really sensitive area for Ashkenazi jews - looking Arian, including straight light hair as opposed to dark curly hair - saved some people's lives only 70 years ago. Obviously, in today's U.S. specifically, there's no comparing at all the black experience with - well, anyone else's,…

I'm one, and I get the same shit dark skinned people get in white societies get. There's no secret cabal where I wave the Jew card and my dark skin is ignored. Obvs. in the U.S. specifically there's a very terrible history with the Af Am community, but to pretend that all Jews enjoy white privilege negates the lived…

This is creepy. It's a joke, right?

I strongly disagree - I'd say saying terrible things about "white trash" from the South is the most common form of bigotry. It's something I hear again and again people around me say.

Thank you. The route cause is institutional racism, not white people trying to make friends with black people for tokenism's sake. Nobody wants to be a token (or to befriend one). If segregation weren't such an issue, white people would have more black friends.

A lot of the language is sloppy and not period appropriate, which is why I quit the show. I mean, to me, it's the equivalent of having a plastic water bottle in the photo... it just takes me out of the fantasy. I mean, there's a rich literature from England and Scotland from the mid 18th century through WWII, anyone…

It's really easy to be Tilda when you have a body like that. Clothes just fit because they are designed for her. I'

Wow. I wonder if they are even legal in the U.S.- I mean, some of the active ingredients are actually toxic.

Um, anyone with boobs who wants to run or jump?

Hello_my_lover made a great analogy. What you are saying is analogous to a case where someone in a BDSM relationship consents to being slapped on the cheek and then they get spanked. Just because you consent to one thing doesn't mean you consent to another.

Oh, be still my beating heart...

Thank you. I actually think that publishing nude photos of someone without their consent is a type of sexual assault.

But a lot of it is habit forming. I needed to go to a lot of expensive gyms in order to learn how to do those exercises that cost maybe $50 in equipment that would last for years. If no one teaches you, you don't just know.
