Same with racism. Only racists are "colorblind."

Jay Z looks like he just discovered a miniature family of gnomes living in the back of his wife's hair. And the gnomes are listening to Harry Belafonte.
It doesn't matter. Some people think "weave" has negative connotations and is viewed as ghetto. It does have a bit of a stigma because "weave" is more associated with Black women. But the words are all interchangeable really.
It's more likely a lace wig, actually. It would be difficult/impossible to blend a weave or extensions into hair the length of her cut.
Dang Bey! I mean, you do you and all, but I really wanted to see the pixie glammed up instead of just in a mirror selfie.
Not overly sensitive, just eager to make myself clear, and respectful enough of you and this conversation to see it through. I'm sorry you have chosen to react with such hostility. I've enjoyed this exchange with you and it's given me food for thought. Now I'm done, although I appreciate that you have your own…
Context. Instead of profiling a woman who used to be a skinny "cardio queen" and discussing her transformation, Jezebel decided to use the article as a jumping point to make a general statement about how we should accept everyone. Uh, yeah, obviously we should. But what's the message when you only do that when a…
Thank you. And let's also mention how thoroughly the media shames women who are muscular, regardless of their size.
Jezebel, you need to get your shit together. Seriously. You took an otherwise innocuous article, one that values functional strength over "thigh gaps" and managed to make a whine fest out of it. Is this a company policy? You talk about how women should like themselves. You talk about how women should value…
Because that's exactly what it's saying. Notice no one is holding up female weightlifters as a beauty ideal. You still have to be skinny, but you also have to have some muscles. Skinny in the right way.
Every time one of these posts are published I want to scream. Hey we hate the idea of the patriarchy telling us what our body looks like so let's bash women who look like that.
This makes me sad, because I really love weight lifting. It improves bone density as well as all the other health benefits. But it does NOT need to be the new competitive woman-thing. If the competition is based on how much you can deadlift, that's okay. But not how toned your butt is. They don't mean "strong is the…
Points well taken. But I'm not sold on the idea that our physical bodies are just for ourselves. I'm active - I run and go to the gym. And yes, it makes me feel great about myself and is the primary reason behind my fitness.
So what you're saying is that people who are not doing anything wrong should stop playing a game they like to play, or turn of features they want to use, so that people who make violent threats can continue without consequences?
It seems like you're saying that someone who is being bullied should just leave. That's not a very effective way to deal with bullies, and why should a victim of bullying have to give up something he or she enjoys because of a few assholes?
And what about people who enjoy Call of Duty but not the harassment? And what about the people who want to use voice chat legitimately? The real solution is for MS to actually do something. The violators don't own CoD. They don't own voice chat. It's not up to the victims to stop going into "their" territory.
Why is empathy so damn difficult for gamers? Seriously, why? This was a horrible thing to do to a person, and it was clearly a targeted threat based on her being a woman. People doing crap like that should be perma-banned. Playing online and communicating with other players isn't an inherent right. Act like a child…
It is confusing, but I can't stand people who harass others like that. Every time I play COD or another game online (PS3) you always get some asshole guy who throws around the N-Word all the time. To Black gamers. Why can't we do anything about that?
