Well said! I too, am a white woman that has also noticed that many women of color take more shit for being sexual. They take more shit it every area really. We only have to deal with sexism, not sexism AND racism. I hate when another white person decides their ego is hurt because THEY aren't racist. Since THEY aren't…

Yeah. Sometimes women of color are pressured either by family or by strangers (if they're famous) to work to come off as 'good girls'/'modest'/'ladylike' in order to combat the stereotypes, and it leas to some feeling like they can't really do as they please in that area. This didn't happen in my family, but I've…

Both your point and the author's can be true at the same time. Indeed, it could be argued that her point strengthens yours.

Well put. The knee-jerk, indignant privilege denying in the comment section is disappointing, but not surprising. Because Internet. :/

You can post that link until the cows come home. It doesn't change the fact that Kim Kardashian is a total outlier in the sex tape business. Plenty of white reality starlet's sex tapes have gotten out over the years. And none of them, except Kardashian, has moved past it into other non-sex-related profitable…

Let's face it, there are really only 3 'sex tapes' that were highly successful- Pam Anderson, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.

SO many comments on this page telling you you're wrong. I'm just here to say that I'm a white woman, and I've definitely noticed that women of color take a lot more shit than white women for being sexual. I think some people don't want to acknowledge that women of color have a more difficult time, like it's somehow…

Who's denying white female privilege? I said regardless of race. Kim's sextape catapulting her to fame is an anomaly, period. Another woman would be hard-pressed to duplicate it regardless if she were white or black. Then I gave examples.

As much as I loathe to agree with your argument (because I still don't get/care about the Kardashians), Kris KNOWS how to control and dominate a media empire. She saw how to make Kim's tape a battering ram into reality TV. Without someone with that vision, it's just a minor celebrity sex tape which will be boring in…

Well she wasn't trying to get famous though. She wanted to do porn. That's a legitimate choice.

listen grandson, in my day, sex tapes were shot with bad lighting , muffled sounds. No make up or hair, flabby tits and asses, no steadycams or union lunch breaks . Just nasty fucking.

I'm thinking the point here is that Mimi is being mocked, or whatever, for this tape while the Ray Js and the Stevi Js keep doing their thing. Not sure she won't get a Vogue cover 'cause she's light enough...

The difference between Kim Kardashian and everyone else that makes a sex tape? Kris Kardashian. She may be sleazy and money hungry but she's also a force of nature. I respect and admire her in the same way you would respect and admire a competitive eater. They both do impressive things but in ways that are less than…

...I know a lot of girls that are 5'2" and just under 100 lbs. I'm 5'1" and just over, so... what. That's not exactly outside the range of normal. Get your shit together, Yale! (God, I just realized how long I've been looking for the chance to say that.)

I don't agree with what they're doing at all but yeah, they're trying to cover themselves. Courtney Martin's book Perfect Girls and Starving Daughters: the new normality of hating your body, has a chapter on college culture and disordered eating, and cites a few cases of students with clear cases of ED actually dying.

That's not at all what I'm suggesting. I'm saying that it's better to say no than say yes and be resentful about having said yes. And I do think that brides should recognize that it's expensive and a big time commitment, and not everyone is at the point in their lives where it's possible, and if a bridesmaid says no…

I really can't help but feel like this whole article is basically telling people to "tell it like it is" in that way where you say or do a rude thing and then tell people they can't get mad about it because it's the truth!

Since when do brides or their moms EVER pay for their bridesmaids' gowns? And, believe it or not, it's hard for people to say no when asked to be in a wedding of a good friend. Saying no can make you feel like you aren't being a good friend, so people say yes even if the wedding is going to be a hardship.

I am pretty sure what I did was illegal, but hopefully the statute of limitations has expired. I dated an terrible person, when I became pregnant, he told me that he didn't want to hear about it. When I broke up with him he wrote me a long letter detailing all the reasons I should kill myself. He would call, text,…

I'm on a month-long camping trip with a bunch of other college students. There's this guy I like, and he likes me. We sit together every day, tell each other secrets, it's cute as hell. There's a girl on the trip who doesn't really have friends yet, so one day I invite her to sit between me and this guy. The three…
