It’s funny how we are paranoid when we are singled out in airports, paranoid when we are not shown homes in certain areas, paranoid when we are harassed by police, paranoid when we mysteriously die in jails after being illegally arrested, paranoid when we find out we are being paid less than other people, paranoid…

Holy crap. I have never seen so much not-getting- it-ness. Thank you for correctly identifying this as humor.
Travelers who were trying to depart Houston’s Hobby Airport...
Yeah, I feel bad for participating in the pile on here. This dress may not be super-successful as fashion, but at the risk of sounding like an old biddy, *this never would have happened in the olden days of Jez*. Harumph. This kind of borderline body shaming would have been smacked down, for better or for worse. Yes,…
TROOF. I also still get the “You look like Tori Amos.” Still. STILL! And when I waited tables, old dudes would ALWAYS ask about the carpet matching the drapes. I would just look at them like “Fuck you?”
That would have given me a complex for DECADES. I had huge abandonment issues as a kid and, as a 40 year old adult, I still hate it when I can’t find my family in a store.
Bless my soul have I got a story!
I was feministing my way to work this morning, when I realized how great my rich, white, female demographic is. So I decided to text my extremely privileged fans about it, but my stupid iPhone autocorrected the phrase “co-opting the word feminism for personal capital” by removing all of the text I wrote and giving me…
Mine was $100 for the week but that’s because it was an amazing 4-H camp that was anti-discrimination like no other. And if kids couldn’t afford it, the organization gave them aid. It was the shit.
Given his self-professed right-wing leanings, probably not so uncharacteristic.
Your standard male MMA fighter is saying this kind of shit, times ten, about everyone. He calls other dudes worthless layabouts for not being as strong as him, or worse, he calls them feminine. Does it make their statements right? Probably not. But the measure of this outrage will be because of Rousey’s gender and the…
I love this. I know it’s not kosher to judge other people for how they choose to live their lives, and it’s not great to have women knocking other women down, but damn. It’s refreshing to hear such celebration of non-standard beauty. And there is such a tremendous pressure to look pretty for others, to be in the…
Although it sounds like the result of some freaked-out parent being annoying, these sunburns are legitimately terrible.
The discrimination of redheads is obviously not on the same level of POC, but that shouldn’t make it a non issue. My problem with the ginger jokes and bullying is that it is somehow seen as socially acceptable. You can make jokes about gingers having no souls, being less than human and it’s allowed. Even is this very…
OOf, peach and orange are no-fly zones for me, and I just recently was able to find a yellow that worked (mustard, if you are wondering). My hair is a really light strawberry, so people think it’s blonde, until they actually see it blonde, or see me next to my brunette sister and blonde mother and brothers. It’s…
Well, I’m a black chick who once dyed her her hair red. Looked great until I got a tan. I looked like a bootleg Raggedy Ann doll. Never again. I like it on OTHER people.
You love us or you hate us. There’s just not an in between opinion regarding gingers.
Honestly, redheads are discriminated against. It isn’t as bad as other discrimination that other minorities feel*, I’m certain, but basically anything, even the color of your hair, that makes one different from someone else and/or the discriminators perceived notions of what people should or shouldn’t be provides…
Uhhh...hello, “Pretty In Pink”?? Molly Ringwold? OF COURSE WE CAN WEAR PINK. :) I particularly think I like good in peach though. I do agree Orange is a bit more iffy....
Now playing
