What the hell is wrong with Indian men?

“There’s a pressure to correct women’s move away from marriage by fetishizing it.”

Also, I have noticed that most plus sized models have very slim faces compared to their bodies. I say this with envy, because when I was a size 12 or so, I definitely had about 4 chins.

At this point, I’m pretty sure I’m getting naturalized to Citizenship to vote AGAINST this idiot.

Oh! I haven’t got to that yet and I’m Indian. Why do American TV shows need “Bollywood” numbers now? At least the other shows have Indian characters.

Also, what is up with the race politics of this show? Token diversity? Comical/dramatic hispanic man? Sassy black receptionist?

Andrea Barber has a masters in women’s studies! I wonder what she really thinks of Candace Cameron Bure.

She was Hindi? Hindi is a language. Hindu(ism) is a religion.

How wonderful for her.

Is it just me or is this woman herself a shade of orange?

As an academic woman of color married to a white male academic, I can unhappily attest to this. My spouse has been called “brilliant” “genius” and what-have-you. He’s a great guy, very smart and an awesome teacher. But we have the same training and I have been told “the teacher has a lot of knowledge” exactly once.

My parents dressed us in hand-me downs that made us look like middle-class Indian men till we were around age 12. Mortal embarrassment apart, my sister and I turned out fine. We are also happy to inherit the money they saved not buying us crap.

They are also missing something very important here, if this is true (are you surprised?). The issue of abortion in India, where Mother Teresa lived and worked, is very different from what it is in the United States. Female foeticide or gender-selective abortions happen a lot in India, though the practice has been…

If you’re looking for a legitimately addictive chili oil with real chili flakes, I highly recommend Lao Gan Ma’s Spicy Chili Crisp.

Super duper Bechdel test fail. Is all.

This is an R1 school in the South. To be fair, this one eval stood out because it was so rare. I never get more than one “too much feminism in class” comments in a year.

When I discussed the Bechdel test in a film class for college seniors my students got really, really riled up. One of them even mentioned it in their evals, saying that I targeted white men and the class should have been taught by an older white man.

My response to a baby announcement is general enthusiasm because I am happy that the people who want kids are having them.

Omg. Cue a million people being “so surprised” by their pregnancy because “we were not even using an app and it happened!”.

I second this. I have always had self-images issues and don’t like others looking at me as I exercise. When I exercise at home I can make no excuses about time or going elsewhere or the weather.
