Oh I do know, in fact, I mentioned the Nefertiti bust being in Berlin and how shitty that is in another comment. Also, what this has to do with anything I've said before is beyond me as I didn't imply that it's only the Brits stealing stuff from countries deemed "unfit to take care of their treasures." I find it…

Egyptians are very fond of their historic past and can find ways to protect their own, they don't need Westerners to do it for them. It's their property and their choice what happens with it and it isn't cool to use a "white man's burden" style argument to justify keeping their stuff when it's all about money and…

Or all the indigenous peoples of the British Empire, who lost their sacred and oftentimes holy artifacts to British museums!

Of course you are right - let's not give these crazy savages back their artifacts and national treasures, clearly they can't handle them as well as we civilised Westerners can! Thank God we stole the stuff from them - basically, it was just for their own good really!

But in the case of a natural disaster like Kathrina, how was it any of the humans' fault to be trapped and in danger? How can you believe that a human in such an extremely hostile environment is better suited to survive than a dog, who has hunting skills etc.? I never understood people who say that they'd rather save…

Preach. I'm not fond of war movies either, only one or two have truly been able to depict the awfulness of war for me (best anti-war movie is a German movie called Die Bruecke, The Bridge - amazing movie, so devastating, all about the pointlessness of "war heroics"). War and heroism does not mix well for me, probably…

And yet the point is that there are plenty of Afghans who would NOT betray American soldiers and do NOT hate them, yet the story chosen is the one where the Seals WERE betrayed. That's the problem here, the deliberate selection of thesetypes of stories that reaffirm stereotypes, in fact being made worse by the "true…

Yes, my comment was more about the "every hot guy in Hollywood is in this movie" headline, not the casting choice as such because I presume that, indeed, since it is based on real life stories there's not much they can do there. It just bothered me that the author claims EVERY hot guy in Hollywood is in there…

It's called exaggeration and is used quite a lot on the internez, my friend. Not the same as a straw man argument because yes, there ARE comments like that all over Jezebel - not just on this article - loudly and clearly proclaiming that they have a problem with uncircumcised penises and yes, that they find them…

Or they don't understand privilege is my second guess.

I've slept on countless used mattresses during my student years because I was too poor to afford furniture and also had no car for transportation of said furniture and so only flatted in already furnished houses throughout the years. It's really not that hard to do when you know you cannot afford a brand new 200$…

If these are all the hot guys Hollywood has to offer (Mark Wahlberg...really??? Is this article from the 90s?!) then we have a big problem! Also...these are exclusively white dudes... just sayin...

I actually agree with this and find it highly irritating how many women on here who call themselves feminists and deplore the way female bodies are fetishised and objectified can still take themselves seriously as feminists when saying "but uncircumcised penises are so UGGGGLY, how can anyone want such dirty, ugly…

Psssst, Americans (not ALL of them, obvs!!!) don't always understand that the world works differently than America does...they often think that America IS the world...

The short answer is yes. The long answer is: yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!! Watch it in a double feature together with Dark Crystal. You will thank me for it later!

Jewish AND Muslim... But yes, otherwise I agree, and it somewhat baffles me considering that there are so many commenters on Jezebel speaking about accepting different female body types and not judging etc., but apparently when it comes to circumcision they cannot see that what is the norm in the US is NOT the norm in…

You deliberately misunderstanding me, which has more to do with you than me so I don't really feel like engaging with you, cheers.

You haven't travelled/fucked much outside the US I presume...

But she isn't saying that beauty isn't worth anything, she is saying we should actively work to change that cultural paradigm. If she is being naive than you are being cynical - neither viewpoint represents an absolute truth. It is certainly true that it seems near impossible to change the perception of beauty =…

Same here, most of my life I've been fat and thus overlooked by men. I remember there was that one year where I managed to lose quite a bit of weight and I actually found the sudden attention I got revolting, seeing as the only reason for it was that I had lost weight while nothing else had changed about who I am and…
