Uhm, what? I think Shakira has stated in the past that she doesn't really give a shit about a marriage certificate.

I agree that "vag with a vendetta" sounds misogynistic to me, but this person has a point — if Shakria wants her man to be assertive/dominant/possessive/jealous that's her right. She might submit her video ideas to him for approval, but nobody is forcing her to be in a relationship with him.

Don't you think there are healthy ways in which you can tell your partner, "I don't want you doing x because it makes me feel y?" For example, "I don't like you wearing skirts that short because other men will look at you and it makes me feel uncomfortable?" Obviously, moderation is the key — if the boyfriend is

I can see both sides of the argument here. She's a grown ass woman and shouldn't ask for permission from anyone to do her job. On the other hand, she's a grown ass woman who voluntarily choose to be in a relationship with this man, and choose to submit to him.

I didn't say you had to pick one or the other. I said that just because you're of a certain descent doesn't give you the authority to speak for that culture.

No it's not. If you're not raised as an active participant in a culture then you aren't a part of that culture and don't have room to comment on it. I'm 1/2 white, 1/2 hispanic (with an indigenous background) and I wouldn't presume to speak for indigenous people nor hispanic people. If I was raised speaking the

White people have been oppressed in America? Orly? Everyone knows the Irish aren't really white. :P But seriously, you can't compare the struggles immigrant groups have gone through to those of the indigenous peoples of Americas. It's apples and oranges.

Are you trolling or dense?

The people who's culture is getting appropriated gets to decide if they approve of your "borrowing" or not. Plenty of native american right's leaders have spoken out against this and they've made documentaries on this subject.

You might be of native american descent but that doesn't make you culturally native american. If you didn't grow up in a household where native american values/traditions were instilled in you, you're no more qualified to opine on this than any other non-native-american.

You do realize that denim, although iconic and beloved by all, doesn't have anywhere near the same cultural significance to us as a headdress has to native americans, right? We wear denim every day and it's not considered an honor to be sporting it.

I'm sorry, have white people been historically oppressed? Were they uprooted and forced to travel thousands of miles? Were they forced to assimilate — taken from their families at an early age and placed in schools to systematically strip their culture from them? Does a crown have religious significance? Did kings

He is outed though because now his name is forever associated to this ridiculous porn story and any future employers know he's a little snitch who can't keep his mouth shut. Is it going to ruin his job prospects? No. But you can cross top-secret-government-agent off the list.

It is a risky move on the porn company's part, but I like that they're standing up for the girl. Regardless of whether you think it's right or wrong how they went about defending her, I still appreciate that someone came to her defense.

The issue is that a real native american headdress is a ceremonial piece and is considered an honor only conferred to a few individuals. Considering the historic injustices they native americans have suffered, it's particularly insulting to pop up on Instagram with a picture that flaunts you don't have respect for
