Why was a doula delivering her baby? Doulas aren't midwives andaren't licensed to assist at homebirths.

(It's effective because it's going to be hard for him to grope people from his weelchair.)

Well-said.

Just wanted to say that I really agree with everything you said.

It's not an easy thing to admit that you were wrong, publicly. I give this woman credit for that.

The Last Airbender movie is a perfect example of a cast of characters that were written as POC in the source material and completely whtiewashed.

Have you ever considered that the reason why most people HUGE in Hollywood happen to be white is because it's white people that get cast as leads in most films so the odds of the next HUGE person being non-white is slim to none?

Which fact exactly? That she lied about the time? That she lied about drinking?

Call me when they get round to making a movie out of Tintin in Congo.

Firstly, by switching gender with race in this particular case, one is not stepping into chauvinistic territory but into offensive territory: the same way that in reality, for example, if a White woman were to tell a group of Black men that she knows what it feels to be prejudiced by race because she is prejudiced by…

Since the Foundation funded the evaluation - and not this specific program HIV-in-India - won't it be in the best interest of the Foundation to be as fair as possible?

For example: all the good teachers in the world cannot…

And to repeat myself since you didn't get it the first time: If it's sexism for girls to believe in their formative years that they are as good - and secretly even better - at STEM subjects than boys - then there should be more of that sexism in the world.

Maybe it’s the chosen picture that is distracting, but I think this study is skewed towards single-sex boys schools vs. co-ed schools and which school is better for boys to attend. I went to an all-girls school and that sexism promotion thing that this article alludes to is, frankly, Bull. We had girly-girls, tomboy…

Could we not tag articles about Islam under "Racism"? Muslims are not a race.

(For reasons of living a somewhat independent life as well, not just the gross factor...)

I was giggling about half-way through the article but I'm in tears at the end.
