"I'll put it this way," Huckabee says. "I treat my wife very differently than I treat my chums and my pals. I wouldn't worry about calling them on Valentine's Day, opening the door for them, or making sure they were OK."

Separate the cat and the baby and keep them separate until the cat calms down and/or eventually learns to tolerate the kid. Maybe it's a pain in the ass, but that's something you should probably consider when you decide to have both pets and children. If you can't handle the responsibility of caring for something…

I wish I could find a link to the story of those two guys. They were really smart about their careers, and when Disney started controlling them too much and actively hindering them moving out of acting and into directing and producing (including Disney poaching an idea they created and pitching it back to them minus…

Yes. This person is a troll. After checking the comment history I wish I'd never replied. Every single comment this person makes is misogynist MRA bullshit. Every last one.

Ahhh, "females." My favorite dehumanizing term for women. Whenever I hear that in real life, I ask "Female what? Squid? Groundhog? Oak tree?"

You're perfectly allowed to not like the piece, of course, but I'm always bothered by the "Don't define yourself by your sex" comment when people make it.
The whole point of the article is that existing as a woman in society comes with certain baggage. It's like accusing people who call out racism of being obsessed…

you're a troll aren't you

Maybe someone should let her know "I don't see color" is a catchphrase of a noted cultural satirist who is available for viewing in cable or in snippets on the "Internet". If, you know, she would understand basic satire.

You can tell this is fiction because no one has ever masturbated thinking about Shia LeBeouf.

Thanks, but my culture is not demolished or even nearly so. Treating us as if we are gone does help to contribute to our lack of visibility, and makes casual racism towards us feel more acceptable though, I'm sure. It probably helps the town council of the town near my reservation sleep at night when they choose not…

Finally. Finally white people get to tell their side of the story.

Every semester, there is at least one incredibly stupid white kid (I gotta admit, almost always a boy) in each class who says, "I don't see color."

Protip: When the culture you're appropriating from steps and and says "Hey, that's disrespectful. Please don't do that." the best recourse is to listen, not bury your head in the sand and ban Natives from commenting.

I'm going to address the Native American headdress specifically. I'm not Native American, so I am not in any way attempting to speak for Native Americans, but someone gave a really great illustration a week or so ago to explain why wearing a head dress is disrespectful and wrong (this will make sense mostly to…

Hoping this doesn't come off as flaming... The headdress is a sacred symbol. Assuming you're American, you probably wouldn't want someone wearing a Purple Heart because it looks cool. It is a symbol of sacrifice and honor. So is the headdress.

In my tribe headdresses are sacred. They have meaning, both personal and cultural. Wearing it out of context, as fashion or a jape is offensive. Additionally, Native American culture has been oppressed, co-opted, suppressed, and parodied throughout US history. When the dominant culture continues to exoticise us, place…

As an American Indian and Oklahoma native, this is actually fascinating for how it highlights the misguided notions of what constitutes a "progressive" attitude toward race. I could at least understand the beginning of Pink Pony's press release; Native culture does manifest itself in almost every facet of day-to-day…

"You should be honored that a white person deigns to wear pieces of your culture." *vomit*

They are actively responding to many of their facebook comments and making it way worse. From their "we don't believe in racism or gender roles" as a retort to someone who chastised them for the usage of a non-native and female headdress wearer to arguing their understanding of Native American culture among what…

And the "honoring of Native Americans" is where, exactly? All she said is that she found her new avatar. Are Natives supposed to be honored she wore their headdress and will use it as her avatar for a span of a few weeks, if that?
