I know you mean well, but that’s kinda rude. They’re consenting adults. We shouldn’t infantilize or penalize women because of their height.

I’m not sure why you’re quoting what you are because I never said that. What’s weird is to think what you think is beautiful is NOT influenced by society. Of course it is. That’s hardly a controversial statement. It doesn’t mean that it’s the sole determinant, but certainly a major influence.

They looked like models because that’s our Westocentric definition of beauty - tall and blonde! (Just looking to add a bit of wokeness to your day ;) )

This is the same person who went off on me, a WOC, after I suggested that she reconsider her sympathy for Ivanka Trump. She told me I had issues, insulted my English comprehension, called me a simpleton, and told me I need to be careful before “I dare comment.”  http://jezebel.com/did-you-just-call-me-racist-because-i-…

Why was Biden a better candidate?

From your own linked Wikipedia page:

You don’t even have to be beautiful - you just have to be blonde!

He isn’t a jerk. He is very kind but also really shy and introverted. Famous people are people, too.

Agreed. Thank you for taking my point respectfully. I simply say that we should support and empower female activists in Morocco, not pity them. We are all in this together

Thank you, people are horrible

You’re clearly a troll, but I just want to make the point that gay people are not executed or hanged in Morocco. Clearly what happened in Morocco with this makeup thing is a travesty. Moroccan female activists are fighting back. My point is simply, let’s empower them, not pity them 

You realize our country just elected a sexual predator for President, right? You realize that 1/3 women have experienced domestic violence in America, right? And I bet if that statistic was broadened to psychological, sexual, and economic violence, it would come damn near 2/3, just like in Morocco?

I am glad we are…

...how does it suck to be a woman in Morocco? You do realize our country just elected a sexual predator for President, right? Can we please get off our high horse now?

Uh, no. I am a Muslim American woman who is totally screwed now that Trump is elected. Being deported or interned in a camp seems pretty horrific to me.

He’s clearly not well. Who knows if he even meant what he said. We should have more sympathy

I realize and understand the point you’re making, but it ends up privileging straight white male voices all over again.

The sad part is that I genuinely believed that she was stupid enough to think Ben Carson was Barack Obama.

She’s supposed to be really funny, actually. I think she is just so beaten down and cautious in public that we don’t really get to see that side of her.

Thank you for this response! I was so taken aback when I saw the NYT article. He still interrupted her more than she interrupted him, and was a genuinely horrible human being - and yet somehow, she’s still the bad guy here.

He definitely started running for the attention, but yeah, that’s the way it seems to be going (his son-in-law just approached a media deal firm).
