I think this interview will feel very familiar to any women that wants people to know what happened to them was not okay, but also feel pressured to go along to get along.

I think it goes beyond sexual frustration - it’s frustration that they are not in control of a woman or women.

I was excited about this line until I saw this photo.

As a guy I dislike 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 cleansers because my hair never feels properly clean and they all smell like a mass media’s idea of what a man should smell like. I’m a personal fan of Lush Cosmetics as they have a variety of fragrances from fruity to flowery, I’m a personal fan of things with the old-fashioned…

It wasn’t unusual to see one of the movie stars stalking around Santa Fe wearing what he probably imagined was local garb: an absurdly fringed leather jacket, a precarious 10-gallon hat, gleaming boots looking like six months of someone’s salary.

Whatever anybody thinks about the overall quality of Last Jedi - and I think you can have honest disagreements about how well the whole thing hung together - it was an absolute masterpiece in messing with tropes, both in general and of Star Wars in particular. The whole movie is an exercise in how overrated heroes are…

Honestly, speaking as a European Mutt myself, I think a lot of it is rooted in a general awkwardness regarding “White Culture”. There’s just not much of a real cultural identity in there that doesn’t get tinted with a fuckton of racism.

So you’re going to act oblivious to the fact that Jez didn’t make these rumors up and wasn’t the first who posted one? The victims didn’t want to put their names to their accounts but they were nonetheless talking. That talk was newsworthy in and of itself. Jez claimed there were rumors because there were rumors.

I have never been on the receiving end because I don’t fucking harass people and people don’t make stories like that up out of thin air. If the accusations are baseless, they will collapse under a modicum of scrutiny. Hell, even if I DO go around harassing people, there’s little to no chance I’d ever see consequences.…

Will never come remotely close to the lifetime you force girls into women to spend looking in the mirror and wondering if today’s the day they can go 24 hours without an assault, a catcall, a talking over, an “accidental” grope, to move about fully and freely, to not be told to “smile for me...”

Kids that age don’t have fully developed reasoning abilities, and the ability to really think about the consequences of their actions. They also have a shite understanding of physics. They’re literally not at that stage of physical development where they’re going to consistently think about long-term consequences.…

I wasn’t defending anything she’s done in the past (or present tbh) but that still doesn’t change the fact that ppl were so willing and eager to dismiss the fact that she was assaulted. And that still doesn’t change the fact that Russell got off scot-free for assaulting her. It’s just really funny to me how easy it is…

I believed Azealia then and I believe her now. I put nothing past the depravity of white men, so it wasn’t all that far-fetched to think Russell could do that. Isn’t he known for being an angry summabitch anyways? AB is frustrating in a lot of ways but she still deserves to be respected, loved, and protected within…

There are plenty of non-binary, agender or genderfluid people who might choose ‘they’ as a pronoun, and to call them ‘transsexual’ would be - in general - inaccurate. Transsexual is not a pronoun, and other labels do not supercede the function of the pronoun, which is primarily to differentiate between subjects, and…

Don’t make excuses for disrespect to trans people. Major publications should know better. They caused pain. Even if it was inadvertent, that doesn’t mean it’s OK to brush off that pain with “Oh, they didn’t do it on purpose”.

As someone who is currently in school to be an ASL interpreter, this situation is one that happens daily. The only difference is that this one was televised instead of happening in a private doctor’s office or K-12 classroom. Deaf and hard of hearing people deserve qualified and certified interpreters who are held to…

I love how Gawkfugee came in here to troll everyone and then ended up being the angry snowflake himself. It sucks when you want to behave like a psychopath, but feelings of your own inadequacy and uselessness rise up and lead you to lash out at strangers on the internet.

In this particular case, it’s because Taylor Swift herself makes a BIG deal out of being like “hey look at me I am a feminist I am all for girl power yay women!” and uses the feminism movement for her own personal gain. If she didn’t try to co-opt feminism, and in the process present a bastardized twisted form of it…

I think she means this though specifically in an American context. Japanese citizens probably wouldn’t be offended by someone in a geisha costume because they’re not a minority group. Japanese Americans on the other hand might have a different experience because they are a minority group.

Exactly this. I’m Indian and I have met a few non-South Asians (usually white or black people) who studied Bharatanatyam (classical South Indian dance) for many years, studied under Indian gurus, lived and danced in India, and hold great reverence for the dance. That’s not cultural appropriation, that’s having a deep…
