She spun her cultural appropriation wheel and landed on “Berber,” apparently.

Some of our country’s current policies are just so absurdly, cartoonishly, overtly evil. The fact that the terms “refugee” and “seeking asylum” no longer seem to elicit automatic sympathy is deeply disturbing to me. I feel like the whole conversation around refugees these days is a conversation about the potential…

The bubbles celebrities live in are just so sad. It makes me wonder what amazing things they could have done with their minds, their lives and their platforms if they had maintained their connections to the outside world. So many start out as truly incredible people, full of talent, creativity and intelligence, brimmin…

Seriously, it’s like she’s working off a checklist or something! Has she really managed to make it to 2018 without coming in contact with the term “cultural appropriation”???

What drives me nuts is that I feel like everything I get so upset about on ~those~ days is actually completely reasonable, so then I’m afraid to let on that it’s a hormonal thing because I don’t want my family to take me less seriously. In fact, when I think about the possibility of going on birth control just because…

“We don’t talk anymore.”

Well, first of all, while I will admit to being no expert on the Vietnam War, even I know that the Viet Cong were the rebellious forces in South Vietnam, and Jane Fonda was visiting North Vietnam, which had its own military. The stuff I read indicates that the more brutal practices by the North Vietnamese, such as…

I honestly have no idea what you’re trying to say here, buddy. Maybe try again? Or not, whatever.

Would it have been too on-the-nose for her to add a beret? I feel like it would’ve been cute with her lil’ pixie cut! But yes, the color and fabric are nonetheless perfectly gorgeous, especially against that carpet and backdrop, with that draping and those earrings and ARGHHHKSNAHXGIDKDNHZHAAJNSKDKHH I LOVE IT SO…

In California (which is where the assault took place), it’s 18. Age of consent laws are very inconsistent across the U.S., and “Romeo and Juliet” provisions make things even harder to keep track of. It’s complicated enough that if you search for maps that show the age of consent in each state, there are several states…

...Especially since this is exactly what women are conditioned to do AUTOMATICALLY. If you give a woman a compliment and she doesn’t deflect it somehow, or if you congratulate her on an accomplishment and she doesn’t immediately give credit to someone else, then she risks being classified as a tone-deaf, stuck-up,…

That reminds me of the party story that opens Rebecca Solnit’s infamous 2008 essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” i.e. the essay that lead directly to the coining of the term “mansplaining”:

It’s still a good practice, although it could be argued that while X, Y, and Z may all be men, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they ~happen to be~ men. ;)

As someone barely old enough to call myself a Millennial, I never knew about this whole controversy until today... which is why, apparently unlike those who have such a visceral hatred of her, I was able to get the full story from multiple credible sources online, as opposed to parroting falsehoods that some friend of…

...AND apparently the son was raped in this movie, as though this whole situation weren’t already disturbing enough on plenty of other levels.

“Later that day she posted a close-up of their faces on Instagram... That post and others were included with the notice of intent, along with three photos apparently taken by Mr. Bennett that depict him and Ms. Argento in bed, their unclothed torsos exposed. (Only one of the photos taken in bed shows both their…

Wait, you’ve never heard of the Hawkeye Initiative? *Eek!* I’m so glad I could introduce you! :D

*Psst* – That’s pretty much exactly what I was saying, underneath all the sarcasm. ;)

Thank you for your input, William! We’ll keep it in mind. :D

You’re not wrong, but I have to admit I find it rather amusing that you’d cite Gwen Stefani as proof that any fashion motif wasn’t appropriated from POC. It reminds me of when Miley Cyrus wore Bantu knots for ~that~ VMAs performance and Vogue.com or someone credited the style to Gwen Stefani. (You may recall that the…
