I know right?! Whine about the nut shots when it’s women writing, directing and producing those films. For now, I get skeeved out when a team of men decide that a “strong woman” needs to be punched in the face to be relatable.

If you can’t do the same things for female character as you can for male characters, why have them there? Why not just make it a sausage fest and not offend anyone
The guy who brought us Sucker Punch, one of the most rape-y movies of all time, and just a terrible movie maker in general.
Thanks strawman. Who said that?
This. Hoyo is also dismissing colonial history Liberia in a similar thread..Le sigh.. I this is one of the saddest threads on kinja ever
Of course not. And as far as I’m concerned, it hardly matters. I think those photos are beautiful. I was simply making a point that African Americans (presumably the majority of black attendees to Afropunk NYC were AA) have long borrowed from and played with images and aesthetics associated with Africa. I don’t have a…
Are you making some sort of joke? Dismissing this very recent history because “as a child of Africa” you have some sort of hunch that we’d all come together in a happy felabration-like chorus.? How? And why? What evidence do you have to support this and What makes you think the entire continent would function this way?
About what?
Stop? Why, though? Why is my opinion less valid than yours?
Did I ever say that Africans have a right to insult or disrespect African American struggles, sacrifices, oppression, or mock and take for granted their deaths at the hands of a state which benefited from their captivity, free labor, and misery? Did I ever say that Africans have a right to exploit anyone’s culture…
Convenient. According to your original logic, that statement does not apply both ways.
Ok-so now can we talk about black Americans playing dress up with African culture when it suits them—and discarding it when it doesn’t?
what am I missing?
How dare she? I mean, seriously.
The thing about Oprah though that I haven’t seen from Rose is that Oprah is very, very well read and her emotional intelligence makes her very charismatic. That made her a good interviewer. Does Amber have that? I don't know, I haven't see that as part of her brand. I know there are many others though who find her…
Wake me up when Amber Rose, Paris Hilton and the Kardashians (ALL OF THEM varmints) get a fucking college degree under their belt. Think what you will of Oprah (and boy, I sure have thoughts of my own on the topic) but nobody can deny that she’s an educated, cultured, sophisticated woman. She can hold her own in…
I think she’s a vulgar, unschooled asshole and I’m frankly over the notion that people without even a college degree deserve their own “show” on TV.
I don’t get the Amber Rose fascination. I think she’s beautiful, has a smokin’ body and seems to be a loving mom. Which are great things that she can take some pride in, for sure, but really, what else has she done? Pretty much any success that she has had has come from knowing or being with the right men. She…
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with them fighting for equal pay. They have the luxury of fighting the fight we all want to fight without bringing their income down to zero, as often happens when mere mortal women try to fight for equal pay. I commend them for bringing the fight public and demanding it. Just…
