I checked the link to see if my memory was correct, but it was. Proverbs describes a WORKING woman, with GREAT LEADERSHIP SKILLS (she buys a field with her earnings... etc). It’s incredible how crazy people can distort a sensible text.

I’m italian so maybe I don’t get it. Her name is Raven and she justified discrimination against people with unusual names?

Do Americans seriously feel hot at 26 Celsius degrees?! In Italy most workplaces are even warmer, in summer.

This causes me a lot of quarrels, being a non racist person who happens to belong to the etnic majority in her country (Italy). Other italians tell me some racist bullshit and when I strongly disagree they treat me a like traitor. People who belong to a minority have it much worse, anyway: racists usully don’t tell…

The Guardian is one of the most reputable papers in UK. I doubt they misquoted her.

“Real Women have curves” enrages me to no end. I have an almost stick-like figure and I am as real as any other woman. And a lot more real than Vogue photoshopped pictures of “real” women.

I discovered her existence from the Guardian article and I don’t like her at all. She sound egocentric and histerical. How can anyone stand in the street in her underwear and expect people nonto at least look with some curiosity? No, Tess, I’ve never seen a fat girl standing in the street in her underwear. Nor a thin…

It’s a quote from Magritte famous painting “ceci n’est pas une pipe” which translates into “this is not a pipe”

This discussion is not about Kiki Willems’s body. We don’t even know if it’s really her body or a photoshopped image. This is about the message this photo sends out. IMHO the only body image that should be promoted is a healthy body, which meets the World Health Organization criteria, including weight. Images of obese…

This is just a joke, isn’t it? Of course all the actors in Mulan should be Chinese or asians that can “pass” as chinese. Europeans (or Africans) would spoil the oriental athmosphere of the story...

At 12, I had crushes on my teachers, too. It was their responsibility to keep me safe, not taking advantage of my totally immature emotions. Thank God, they did just that. What i “wanted” was not what was good for me, because I was immature. Have you ever wondered why children are not allowed to decide for themselves…

I don't know in about the USA, but in Italy they add a strong smelling substance to carbon monoxide, so that people can smell it. It leads to false alarms when a can of this substance is dropped, because a lot of people report they smell carbon monoxide.

Some girls in my school felt it was they duty to tell me I was fat. Now, i'm a size 2, they're still stupid.

I don't think "Marsala" refers to the italian city but to the deep red wine which is produced there.

Well, I think Socrates DID fully take part in symposiums and some of the hottest men in his times, Alkibiades, for instance, where crazy about him.

I hope he's not Classics professor: greek philosophers did get drunk at symposiums and often ended up having "casual" sex with each other LOL

I wonder how a trigger warning can be worded without being a trigger. "trigger warning" is not enough, because people have different traumas. "Child sexual molestation" IS a trigger in itself.

At age eight I was held down in the dirt by three eleven year old girls, while I was screaming "no!" . Thay stripped down my pants and one of them inserted her filthy finger in my vagina and kept it there until I stopped struggling. Adult's attempts to persuade me that my "friends" just "wanted to play" resulted in a…

maybe because models are people, too

I keep my opinion that the "Paninaro" look was ugly and that showing off brands is bad taste. I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree.
