On a related note, I feel genuinely sorry for all my friends and neighbors who feel the need to drink wine just to get through the day with their families. Like, I get it. Ha, ha. So funny that your wine box is your adult juice box.

Tide commercial?

When I saw the photo of them together I thought they might genuinely get back together, if only to capitalize on the fact that feminism is (relatively) popular and their whole thing was girl power so they probably think they can make a buck. Maybe I’m being cynical here but this feels pretty calculated.

Meanwhile I’m still scared about unplanned pregnancy and I’m 29.

FinDom, the art of insulting and humiliating men and then making them pay for it.

It’s also instructive in looking at the 47% as well. Look at the women protesting busing in the 70's in the picture and look at what Sam Bee thinks about sending her kids to school with kids she considers less desirable.

I read this and felt like instead of telling any stories about the event, or try to connect with the people, you wrote a diary entry about how you went somewhere you weren’t super comfortable and weren’t welcoming in return to the people who tried to speak to you and then you left. That’s a huge bummer all around and…

I was reading the comments recently on an article on a website generally aware/sensitive to prejudice and discrimination, and basically a handful of people were arguing that the american readers don’t get how racism against Black British people in the UK isn’t even ‘a thing’, so they’re just seeing racism when it…

Yeah French person here, the “racism doesnt exist in France” is total bullshit. I grew up in Marseille, which is one of the most racially diverse cities in France, and also one of the most racist. I’m white but I grew up seeing people being discriminated against. I’m 99% sure that the reason you have to attach a photo…

Yes we are a racist country, yes french people believe racism doesn’t exist any longer and yes as black people we are discriminated against, harassed, silenced, erased. The first time I saw a black tv presenter and a black person in a commercial non-exotic related was in the UK in 2006 (I’m black, french born and…

You’re saying something that is very true for Black Americans. Check out the This American Life story on a late author who grew up in the hood and went to an Ivy League school. She loved the fact that she could put on the thick U.S. accent and be equal there. I have several issues with her “passing” and being so hyped…

I wish she had added it also reflects poorly on the interviewer that she would take her time to prepare for this event and include that ridiculous, insulting question.

Many years back I remember hearing a black American author on This American Life (sorry, I have absolutely no recollection who it might have been) talking about how when she first arrived in France she didn’t experience any racism, and it was absolutely liberating after growing up in The United States. But after…

I have an American friend who learned French in an African country. He later got a telemarketing job and was regularly subjected to racist abuse over the phone by French people who assumed he was African. Pretty awful.

We truly live in the Upside-Down where the Satan worshipers are the de-facto good guys.

why you gotta refer to him as “apres Obama” - the rest of your comment was lucid and well written but the message gets lost when you use vile racist terms

Honestly I think the whole claim is silly. I’ve been groped in gay bars by men a lot less appealing than Kevin Spacey and it wasn’t hard to get over. If it’s continued and prolonged abuse then that’s one thing, but a one-off dick grabbing shouldn’t be a big deal for most gay men.
