Thankfully, the ruining didn't go public, but my Father in Law was such an epic asshole that it ruined both my and my husband's subjective experience of the day. The day before the wedding, he (a known alcoholic bigot with an even bigger mouth than his drinking problem) decides to walk over to my mom's dinner table

But if asexual people consider themselves to be under the queer umbrella (it is an alternative sexual orientation after all), who are you to say they don't belong?

Ditto. I was super weirded out.

No. This isn't based on anecdata. This was the results of a study done by the university.

Right. Because discussing rape in an article about rape is somehow inappropriate?

1 in 5 women at my university had been sexually assaulted AT the university. So yeah, that's a reasonable impression to be under.

Find something with baking soda in it.

As a lady with giant boobs, that's how I know my posture is. The extra weight at the top needs to be shifted backwards, and so the hips come forward to compensate. Counting down the days till my reduction surgery.

Yeah, it's so weird to see colonialism right next to a plaque recognizing that UVIC is on unceded coast salish territory...

It's kind of everywhere. I live in Victoria now, where I would say it's likely among the places that First Nations are treated the best by white people in Canada, and it's still pretty bad here.

Sorry, I should have said what I said in another comment. People, of all races and genders, treat WOC worse than white women.

I know! She's only asking for $400,000. Her settlement should have at least one, and maybe two, more zeroes on the end of that number.

Native people are treated like shit in Edmonton. That's a major city. They're treated even more horrifically in Winnipeg, also a major city.

Tomato, Tomahto. People, of all races and genders, treat WOC worse than white women.

Gender, race: inconsequential. If it had been a white woman, this wouldn't have happened.

Men of colour, just like white men, treat women of colour worse than they treat white women. There's just a general idea out there that there are less or no consequences for treating WOC poorly. Doesn't matter if he's Inuit or not. I'd bet money that the same officer would have treated a white woman differently.

Oh for fuck's sakes. I'm a white lady in Canada and I never got cuffed or put in the back of a police car when parties got shut down. They just sent me home. The things people think they can get away with just because of someone's skin colour...

We're not mocking you for enjoying Greek life. We're mocking you for having to point it out on an article that clearly shows the issues with it. Hence the reference to #notallmen.

It might have been the imitation stuff, which is cheap.

If the editors refused them, she could have said so. But she didn't.we can't come up with elaborate possible scenarios in which our idols are innocent of any wrongdoing to justify their actions, when they have not given us any reason to think that's the case.
