Yup, also for women in politics, if her children are not in their 20s people "worry" that her children aren't being cared for well enough because she is working.

Well I am interested. Being Black woman I get tired of people trying to define black culture based on stereotypes. So I really want to understand subcultures. Vague images, IMHO, of any culture is usually based in ignorance.

Yeah, I thought this is what geek culture was. I love video games now (I even was really into pokemon as a child),I am into a few comics and when I was young I was really into manga (I would draw them). I also thought geeks were people who loved science, (I like psychology and biology). However I do not consider…

It not about her age, it is just a way to insult her as a woman. I would not be surprised if they call her ugly next, or make fun of her clothes, question her mothering skills, all because she is a woman. GOP probably considers a woman, "old" if they believe she is beyond her child bearing years, has gray hairs, or…

Excuse my ignorance, but what constitutes geek culture? I have heard different explanations...

Yeah I do not either, but if she catches hell for it I bet she will try to say it is a joke. Also, some people think if they admit what they say is racist that is it okay (I had a former roommate who did this when she said something awful about asians).

I guess it is so easy not to care when you do not feel a target on your back.

It is possible to "fix" people, I met people who went from fearing blacks to actually being able to interact with them and treat them like they treat other people. Not saying that people will be perfect, but it is foolish to think that we have to accept people. These behaviors are learned an it is possible to unlearn…

where being African American doesn't dictate limitations on what I can do – but I don't want to live post-race. Our differences are so fascinating and wonderful.

I never understood why people have an issue with the grunting. As someone who did sports all their life (and a little for track college team), I never cared how the audience felt or wanted. I never tried to look 'girly' when competing (On my high school volleyball team some girls would put on makeup before the…

I agree with this. She is the same complication as me, we have similar features (I have two black parents). People think my dad is everything but black! He has even been mistaken for white (which is super weird for me because I see him as black)! Why? Because people can't believe that a black man (with black parents…

It took that long? Wow. I do not understand why it is so hard to use models of color? I do like the look of the new black model! She has gorgeous features!

Even though I never been pregnant, this makes me feel better about my stretch marks. I still struggle with the stretch marks on my butt (and some light ones on my boobs). I spent a lot of money and time trying to get rid of them but I just made them more noticable. So now I am just learning to accept them. Even…

No, I do not think there is a unified goal, maybe people agree on smaller issues (such as abortion). I identify as a black feminist and I met white feminist in person as well as (some comments on jezebel) who only want to improve the lives of white women and white gays/lesbians, and does not care about WOC or…

Women are in all the groups listed.

In a newspaper filled with vicious attacks on immigrants, Muslims, blacks and gays, the one thing that really pisses people off is some girl's knockers on page 3? Jeebus, people really suck, including people who think they're totally progressive, yo!

Based on your comments I disagree. I also feel that if you were being disrespectful you should listen to black women discuss hair!!! I did not feel my first comment to you deserved your response. I try to avoid name-calling and rudeness because then discussion is less of exchange of ideas and more petty.

Ok, I get it you are trolling me. Carry on because you are not admitting to anything (or staying on topic) and you seem to think you know about black hair issues better than a black woman who lives this issue daily (as well as a black woman who has discussed this topic to death with other black women and researched…

THIS!!! I was such a fool, trying to talk to a troll. I mean how can one not listen to MY experiences? I am a Black woman and I can tell her my experiences when it comes to hair yet she kept calling me racist and seems to think she knows the issue better. Um I live the issue. Every.Day.Of.My.Life.
