While I'm not disputing the decidedly Euro-centric representation of features, I do take a little issue with dismissing all of these women as "white" - a lot of them are of mixed-race, and are of a time when intermarrying of wildly disparate family backgrounds for political alliance was the norm. Yes, their features…

Don't hide it in your office fridge.

THIS. ALL OF THIS. Yes. You literally get it from both fucking sides. "How dare you not speak up" or "But why did you speak up?" Fuck. That. Noise.

Can I be your friend? I'm not white, but Asian and from what I hear, you may not have any Asian friends yet.

Yeah, see that's the kind of potential dynamic that just makes me squint real hard at the advice "make more black friends."

Dear All People,

Manamana.

The stylist for Girls said in an interview that she alters Hannah's clothing to make it more ill-fitting and unflattering on her. I feel like Lena does that sort of thing in real life.

Um, what? Sometimes Beyonce wears a leotard with sleeves. Sometimes it has a bustier top. Sometimes her leotard is all sparkly all over, but sometimes her leotard only has a few big crystals. And sometimes her leotard has a print. And sometimes she doesn't wear a leotard at all, she wears a skintight catsuit to…

That would look pretty hot ... on Blanche Devereaux. In 1986.

Oh right - definitely need specifics. I just don't like the tone of 1) went on nude reality show, assured your parts would be blurred 2) your parts weren't blurred 3) you have no dignity, what did you expect?

It's almost as if, by being naked and agreeing to have her parts blurred, she was ASKING for that agreement to be violated! See? Naked = asking for it!

But if they told her they were going to blur the naked parts, and they didn't, why is she in the wrong here? This is pretty...blamey.

Taking the kids out for pizza is one thing. Participation ribbons/tropies are just patronizing - I don't think they make anyone feel better about themselves.

BUT, giving kids who aren't good at sports doesn't really help them to feel better about themselves. Everyone knows the "loser trophy" or "loser ribbon". I am tired of having students who won't do a damn thing unless there is some "reward" or "ribbon". What about doing things because you want to try something new…

Am I the only one who hated getting a "participation" trophy or ribbon as a kid? It always made me feel like more of a loser. Like "you suck, but we don't want you to feel bad, so here."

I literally gagged upon reading the words "potency of his seed".

This video makes me weep for my people and women. Nicki can do whatever she wants but as consumers and audience we should realize what larger role this plays in society. I fully remember the days when hyper-sexualized female rappers were not the norm. Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Missy Elliot, MC Lyte, Da Brat, Roxanne…

I don't know who this Wilson Bethel is, but I like the cut of his jib.
