I had almost an identical experience in Rome, Italy. Which is not a Muslim nation at all.

I use La Rouche Posay's Duo Effaclar (which you can get at CVS) followed by vitamin E oil. It got rid of all the little annoying breakouts around my nose and mouth, and the vitamin e is helping to get rid of all of my past acne scars. I'm kind of obsessed.

I beg to differ : )

I posted this on another comment, but I took a personal defense course, and the instructor told us that rhetorical questions are the best way to go when responding to harassment. Like, "That is so interesting. May I ask why you thought you could touch my boob?" She said it forces him to answer for his actions without…

I took a personal defense course, and the instructor told us that rhetorical questions are the best way to go when responding to harassment. Like, "That is so interesting. May I ask why you thought you could touch my boob?" She said it forces him to answer for his actions without escalating the situation. He'll either…

Oh man. It was going so well and then BOOM.

Someone asked me this when I was having an actual bad day, and I started crying. It was awkward for all involved.

As long as all topless men are as well, you have a deal.

Whites are the only ones who can be racist, because racism implies that there is structural power behind them. Any race can be bigoted, but only the race who has institutional power behind them can be racist. Which in our country are clearly white people.

There are a couple of guys who pee on the side of the road I live on all the time. In broad daylight. In a manner in which they force me to see their dongs. So I really have no problem with them being branded sex offenders.

Last time I was on a flight, the woman sitting next to me was on the larger side. She apologized to me 4 separate times for being in my space, and she wasn't even half as bad as some of the average sized dudes I sit next to on the metro every day. She was so nice that it made me want to punch society for making her…

I lol'd : )

Au contrair, this is absolutely a form of oppression. Small acts of aggression like this are what allows discrimination to continue in this country. "Microagression usually involves demeaning implications and other subtle insults against minorities, and may be perpetrated against those due to gender, sexual…

"When it comes to people who have no voice, we are OBLIGATED to be the keepers of their dignity. " This line is perfect!

I did haha, and I think she immediately felt bad for her meltdown. She's normally one of my most supportive friends, so I was surprised. But that socially ingrained body hatred can be a real bitch.

I had a friend borrow one of my skirts, and then have a meltdown that it actually fit her. I was like, yeah, it fits me too. That's why I bought it...

Exactly! The term "white trash" was invented because poor whites are seen as the exception, not the rule. There's not an equivalent term for any person of color (aka "black trash") because a poor person of color is seen as the rule, not the exception.

My mom was my Girl Scout leader, and she was awesome! We did all sorts of volunteering, and we took a field trip to one of my favorite radio stations. We didn't really camp or anything, but that's because none of us were really interested.

My parents are getting divorced, and my dad is still planning on having Thanksgiving at our house with 23+ people this year. I honestly don't think he has any idea how much work my mom always did to put on Thanksgiving, and is going to be in for a super rude awakening next week.
