everyone get off your high horse and think for one second: BLOOD IS BLOOD. I don't want it on or near me no matter where it comes from.

plebeian.

this is obviously the reality if everyone would stop knee-kerking and think for one second.

verbally attacked maybe. isolated physical violence, maybe. beaten, stoned and imprisoned all while being condoned by the government and its religious leaders? No.

how do you define oppression? if a woman spends her whole life being dominated by men, being forced to behave in very specific and very harmful ways, and has no concept of other value systems that allow women to drive and vote and leave the house without their husband, and still claims she's not oppressed, is she?

it's truly bizarre you say Nashville, because that's where this dude is.

I acknowledge that these aren't actually supposed to be worn, but I still don't get the point of stuff like this.

this is so comically wrong-headed I don't even know where to begin.

one of my roommates friends is very stereotypically "hipster" (ugh)... lots of tats/piercings, pretty liberal worldview, etc. Nevertheless, he argued for like, a long time about how he's allowed to use the n-word because he's from Detroit (?!).

and people in the north wonder why everyone else thinks they're elitist.

and especially when the dance moves grotesquely objectify women.

it's a white liberal pastime.
