Mary-Louise Parker is 50, Jennifer Aniston 45, Jennifer Connelly 44, Lucy Liu 46, Rachel Weisz 44, and Sandra Bullock 50. ALL UNFUCKABLE, OBVIOUSLY. Let's not push our boundaries here. 42 is the LIMIT.

She's dismissing comment that call her out on her racism, how cute.

"It looks bad and won't garner any sympathy" cause when you're so poor that you're on WIC, your first big worry should be what people think of your personal appearance. Not getting a job or paying debts or reorganizing your life, but what randoms on the street will think.

I would argue that embarrassment is not a major force behind a vast denial- it's that Koreans generally do not think of their beauty standards as part of an international context where colonialist beauty ideals have been a major force. Most kids who go to the local mall in the US to pick up the latest trend in…

So you include no links to actual studies, except one (http://www.academia.edu/3069101/The_Pr…). And that one would accuse you of being simplistic and ignorant of history if you had actually read the link. Seriously, read what it says in the conclusion, because if you did, I have no idea why you posted it as evidence…

You're right, it's not racism. It's colorism. And it's harmful because people with darker skin tones in that region get discriminated against because of it and by promoting and using these (often dangerous) skin creams you are encouraging discrimination against a whole lot of other people based on nothing but the…

Your assumptions sound reasonable and well founded. Get out, you don't belong here.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about white as in skin color rather than white as in Caucasian. Asian society has been emphasizing white skin as a beauty standard for CENTURIES. Impossible beauty standard, yes. Bad English translation, yes. Racism? Questionable.

Ari, you're talking about two extremes here — having kids and spending all your money on your kids or not having kids and "spending it on myself, completely selfishly." This might certainly be something you dream about, especially if you've worked damned hard (as most parents do) giving so much to your kids and have…

I'm Asian, and most of my friends are not. I am not an exception in that way.

Why is the Popular Discussion always someone who just. doesn't. get it?

I'm like black or some kind of other minority and I heard Asians were opressed in different way. There were obviously huge differences, but there were certainly some Asians who were just as persecured as some black people in American history, but I don't remember all the details.

It's a troll, pretending to be a "feminist."

Huh, that seems... undercut by the universalizing, essentializing language.

I will agree with you when I hear about a woman murdering a bunch of people because she didn't find her "prince". They are not equivalent.

???? Is there a reason it shouldn't be? Is NYC not part of the state of NY suddenly? Not having a part of a state's population is a misrepresentation of that state. That's like saying "China would be 100% Chinese if we just didn't count the non-Chinese people".

This makes me so sad because I never ever hear it IRL. All you hear is how absolutely fantastic motherhood is, how you don't know real happiness or love before you have children, and how they give meaning to your life. And I notice people who dare say anything not 100% positive about that experience get a lot of…

I'm heading for 36, and I don't have great health, and live in a different country from my family. I am leaning strongly towards not having kids mainly because being isolated </p><p>without that responsibility has been hard enough.... </p><p>I think it's crazy that the way so much of life is set up (nuclear family…

While this is clearly upsetting to some people here, I think it's important to see things like this.

Hi! I'm an actual Japanese American and my grandparent's generation (nisei) wear their shoes inside the house. Coincidentally, they were at Rohwer, with Takei!
