I know this wasn’t on The Chronic, but I fucking HATE the song “Ain’t No Fun If The Homies Can’t Have None.” I’ve hated it since junior high and, to this day, I walk off the dance floor when I hear it come on. Even as a young girl I could tell the lyrics were super sexist and rape-ish. West Coast hip hop always had…

And you absolutely don’t have to do this sort of shelving with Tribe or De La, except maybe on a few #Problematic tracks. (“The Infamous Date Rape” comes to mind.)

Yep. Jay-Z had a variant on his when his first daughter was born, some insight on how awful it was to call women “bitches” and how being a Father To A Daughter meant he understood that now. Oh fuck off. You understood it just fine before, but you now have the fear that some asshole is going to be just like you to your…

From a Jezebel article (which addresses female novelists, but which, imo, applies to the difference between the privileged and the marginalized):

It amazes me. NO ONE ever has to say to a woman, “imagine if it was your son or husband or father” in order for her to feel empathy or compassion. Empathy and compassion should be inherent for evolved human beings. It’s the fact that men rarely see women as 3 dimensional human beings unless or until there is one in…

I am a PR person who has worked in politics and government for almost 20 years, including Capitol Hill. You’re totally right about the Disney example, however for enormous blowhards, who are just so fucking sure they’re right no matter what you say, all the coaching in the world is irrelevant.

It implies that men only care about women when they are their property.

They cant pass up an opportunity to mansplain.

Exactly. Also, If you can only empathize because you have a daughter, then you have no business raising sons, because they’ll never get it either.

I’ve said it before but I especially hate the Father Of A Daughter line. Fuck you. Either you care about this because you’re a decent human being, or you don’t. I don’t have a daughter. I have a son. And I’d argue that as a woman who’s been sexually assaulted, I care more about raising him to properly respect others…

Children are so much easier to teach than grown men.

They also admitted they didn’t lock their doors

As a dweller of brownstone Brooklyn it never ceases to amaze me at how prevalent this no curtain BS is and it is spreading. I have to call my lady on this all the time because if I wasn’t vigilant she wants to roll like that and we black. I drove my point home to her by pointing to the naked white guy across the…

This is related; my roommate’s room doesn’t have a door.

Damon, I thought I was the only one who noticed this trend in New York. I am glad you are bringing it to national attention. While I have blinds, I leave them open 99% of the time. Perhaps it is because I am mixed. Perhaps it is because I like sunshine as much as I like moonlight. We will get to the bottom of why this…

And movies, don’t forget they’re spending their money on booze and movies. (Thanks Chuck Grassley). Anyhoo, yeah, I’m a 49 year old white woman and curtains are the first thing I’d put up or I’d be unable to sleep in my new apartment. I guess it’s part and parcel of the architectural feature of having all that…

Stick a note on the front door asking them to do more squats. If you’re going to see bare ass, it might as well be a nice ass.

The amount of bare asses I’ve seen in curtain free windows while dining in downtown Jersey City is alarming.

The Daily Mail are per usual are trying to hide their racism behind a sheen of Middle-Class respectability which I had been expecting because, gasp, the UK is increasingly non-White and they can never deal with that but I wonder just how pissed they must be given their old love of the “No Blacks, No Irish” days of the…

I’m glad this is an across the pond discussion because we can bring out the history of the “one drop rule” and educate the youth, Dwights and other curious non American Blacks, why we claim all mixed people. It’s for their own protection. They are our cousins and they need somewhere to go when the klan finds out they…
