Jay-Z's PR peeps working overtime to smooth over BarneysGate. BarneysGate? What I already forgot about it! Grammy Noms for the win! Veganism!

This seems a good a place as any to quote Emma Thompson:
Amen! Let's all keep the emerald green another year in protest. Or maybe we should just declare dark purple the new orchid. Because I look rockin' in a dark, royal purple.
TELL IT SISTA!!!
Awesome. A dude telling a young woman to behave. Talking about how "girls" do this and that to create controversy. Tell me more, I have never heard this before!
If she were any more wooden, she could play a marionette in The Lonely Goatherd.
So here's the thing:
I worked at Victoria's Secret for five years. I worked there during college, and then for a few years after I graduated because I couldn't find a "real job." (Eventually, I loaded all my hopes and dreams into my Kia and moved to the Big City and got a job that relates to my degree.)
With this in…
This happens to me from time to time with male friends. It has made me so overwhelmingly sad to feel so misunderstood by them all of a sudden. I just hope that as I sharpen my rhetoric skills and continue to live life and get wiser, that one day I can begin to help break open their perceptions. It also makes me sadder…
I guess you have to ask yourself if his good points are worth putting up with his bullshit for. In my case, this friend I have grew up with me. We were kids together, and he is one of my favorite people to have an intellectual discussion with. I think part of the reason it shocked me so much that he really thinks this…
OMG, you touched on my fav argument of all time. "My experience as a white man doesn't flavor my views. I'm neutral!" I have to gasp for breath from laughing so hard whenever that lovely little tidbit comes up during racial, orientation or gender debates.
That's because you wax and have to deal with it regrowing. I am all natural, never waxed, and that's never been a problem.
Hi, are we the same person, or just have the same friend? Because I just finished dealing with the exact scenario you described. One of the smartest and most progressive people I know, and he seriously brings up the draft as an example of how my gender benefits at the expense of his. I am disappoint. :(
Anyone who uses their intellect, education, academic sounding language, and what seems like a straw man argument to justify their misogyny is not worth your time.
The educated men I know tend to have actually learned something from critical theory. I'm not sure how modern feminism (which in my mind is just a…
Tammy:
I'm one of those people who has a late November birthday, which means every 3 years, or so Thanksgiving is hangover central. This is not a bad thing, I've gotten used to it, but it helps give some context.
I don't know about Gwen's appropriation being "admiration". She used Asian women as accessories. Those Harajuku girls never uttered a single word and were simply toted around by Gwen as little accessories to increase her cool factor; this felt just as demeaning and fetishizing as what Katy did (Dita Von Teese is…
Yes, open thread. I've been waiting for this! So, as many people here know my relationship with my boyfriend of six years has been slowly and very painfully coming apart over the past few months. I'm finally getting to a place where I can recognize that this might really be the end. As in over for good, never see him…
It's hilarious how he can't control his butt. No worries, silly rabbit, everyone reacts that way to early jazz.
I promise you, there are more guys like him out there. I entered back into the dating field about 3 months ago. I was sure (and I told everyone) that I wouldn't connect with any guy as much as I had connected with my ex. I was so wrong. Ted Cruz-level wrong. There are a ton of decent, smart, sexy and single men out…
