I understand how you might feel that way, but I think the article as a whole makes clear that the author is in fact decrying the utter callousness and indifference to human life evidenced in Hershey's director of corporate communications tone deaf statement assuring everyone that our ability to gorge on chocolate…

"I don't think the "red card" is about stirring fear in men as it is addressing women's sexual safety, but personally, I thought the episode was about exploring the idea of consent in a comfortable relationship." Perfect.

Oh gawd, this is awesome. I love the random zumba class/flash mob interlude

I was NOT trolling, I was sincerely not trolling. I only read your initial comment / retelling, and did not realize you would later post more details. I believed that the man who "saved" you did not call the police or ambulance because he was a squatter and feared reprecussion. You have EVERY right to decide to leave…

I am glad that story ends with you alive, I wish you'd gotten to say thank you to the man that saved your life.

yup, nailed it; your life experience validates the entire premise of this article. I'll just go back to cooking for my man instead of arguing with him about Demarcus' Cousins' & whether his stats prove that he really is one of the most underrated in the game.

dang, that transformation is cray

Chocolate Hair / Vanilla Care: she needs to jump on this ASAP.

I think Portia is playing the chairperson of the RNC. Also, this show is the best thing that has ever or will ever happen to me.

Don't worry; Lilly will inevitably drink of the same bitter brew of neuroticism, narcissism, unhappiness, self-doubt, cynicism and ennui that all modern women have sipped from. But right now, her smile is genuine. Isn't that all that matters? *Kanye shrug*

As you can tell by my avatar, I may be a little biased. But I think this is the best gif that has ever EXISTED. ever.

Great great great response Kara. Nail on the head about how mind boogling the entire article reads. Alessandra Stanley is incredibly out of touch. This reads like a parody article on one of those terrible fake news sites. I didn't even know we were still holding on to the "angry black woman" cliche anymore. Geez…

I am genuinely confused by this comment.

"The man who hit her had just lost his job and been sent home—to her. Was she safe? Did anybody ask? Did anybody care?"

Sadly, my first thought when I read this headline was "no it won't."

Oh my goodness, those books...I read the triology when I wss 14 and I still remeber thr Captain's bejeweled dagger...*fans self vigorously*

I feel ya, but I do get better service when I dress nicely to travel. Have been bumped up a class twice while dressed nicely. Never happens when I am dressed down. Even though I still ask if there are seats available... what's weird is I get treated the best by airport employees when I wear a scarf or pashmina as part…

wow. That is a remarkably privileged viewpoint. I agree that this school's dress code policy is both repressive and damaging. Probably extremely damaging. But it is not even close to the mental and physical hellscape that is prison. No one is being denied necessary psychotropic medication, or forced into a cell, or…

Well said! I just have 1 small note to make, white women can have similar issues centered on the acceptance of their hair by white society. I would never have believed it until I witnessed it. A white co-worker has incredibly curly hair that she has struggled with all her life. I personally witnessed a female…

Don't feel bad, I didn't know that a cat panting = "terrified out of my mind " until I took my Mr. Cosmo to the vet. He began panting heavily in the car and by the time we got to the vet, he'd fainted. They had to put my baby on an iv drip. He is a sooty black like the cat in the video, so it hurt my heart a little to…
