I cannot wrap my mind around that much money. I usually don’t care much about the royal family but I’m excited for this show.

I’m sure this woman has no idea she’s being racist. I personally didn’t know blackface was bad until I read about it on American websites.

I have. The reasons? “oh I don’t feel safe not wearing it, men won’t respect me if I don’t wear it”. Isn’t that marvelous? Besides I don’t give a single shit what alienated women think about wearing the clothing. Women are often their own worst enemies and can be as sexist and misgynistic as men.

Like that’s ever going to happen. Right. Muslims can keep their oppression clothes, thank you

This is Jezebel, it’s not surprising.

Jesus christ. Do you listen to yourself?

Burkhas, abayas and hijabs follow the exact same logic: women should be convered because they will tempt men. It’s fucking unbelievable to see this praised on a supposedly feminist website.

You are the voice of reason. But of course American Jezzies are too busy being terrified of appearing racist that they are totally downplaying and even doubting the women who were harassed.

huh I think you’re confusing me with somebody else. I’ve never once mentioned anything about Oktoberfest. You’re accusing me of things I’ve never even discussed. You’re insane.

Do you actually live in a European country where harassment and catcalling is in majority committed by Arabs/North African people? Do you actually know what it’s like? Do you think we’re making it up? You’re refusing to listen to what several posters have said: harassment and catcalling are predominantly a North…

I don’t see what power players being Jewish has to do with anything.

I genuinely don’t see the problem with people who want to date within their own race. There are many reasons for doing so: shared experience, same references, social pressure, the wish for your children to look like you, etc. People should date whomever they want to date.

This reminds me of Meryl Streep claiming hse was not a feminist but a humanist WHILE promoting Suffragette. Sometimes the icons fall off their pedestal.

Agreed. Her comment sounds a lot like damage control. Like “ooops didn’t expect the backlash, oh yeah of course women should be paid as much as men”. That’s also not the first time she’s said something idiotic.

No. Everytime someone brings up the fact that yeah the Quran contains pretty violent passages, someone shows up to remind us-as if we’ve all forgotten- that the Bible is equally worse. First of all I don’t believe the Bible or the Torah is equally worse and second of all, nobody does the same thing when people are…

Why on earth does there need to be some sort of moral equivalent brought up everytime we discuss the many many problematic versets of the Quran?

There’s a French version (Le meilleur pâtissier) of the Great British Bake Off and it’s AWFUL. Like they turned a delightful, lovely show into a pompous, pretentious one with horrible judges and boring contestants who are all men.

I know! I love how everyone is polite and not super ragey and competitive like most cooking shows. The Great British Bake Off is such a delight with Mel and Sue and I love learning about the history behind cakes and pastries.

You know there’s also the illegal option. How do you think we Europeans watch American shows?

Ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians are two different civilisations. They’re not the same. There’s no big mystery: Ancient Egyptians looked like modern day Egyptians. Why is it so hard to grasp?
