Why do people do this coy "Not gonna say it but I'm saying it anyway! Tee hee!" BS? If you don't want to engage, don't. Since you clearly do, why bother pretending? It's spineless and never 1/100th as clever as the speaker seems to think it will be. And it does a disservice to both the issue and your audience.
The whole term - Angry Black Woman — is mass gaslighting, courtesy of the white folks in charge. Anger stems from the metric shit tons of systemic injustices POC face every day of their lives.
This makes me want to set up a fake (or is it?) Yelp account and just proclaim on as many places as I can, "THEY WOULDN'T LET ME MASTURBATE." Just to see what happens.
As an unrepentant former slut, I think the problem (albeit one that comes from a loving, protective impulse) is to think that we can protect our kids from the mistakes we made.
Ugh, I can't believe I'm about to share this.
I played house and barbies with my cousin and I was (ETA: and am, lol. was) a guy. But at home, I had GI Joes, Batman action figures, TMNT action figures, Power Rangers, Micro Machines, K'Nex, Legos, Hot Wheels.
It's possible! This morning I am overbrimming with pride because I went out with my (24 yo) son and his gf last night, and he's just such a natural feminist! He gets it! I couldn't be more proud of him. His gf thanked me for raising him so well, too.
I have many male relatives and friends whom I love and respect dearly. But very, very few of them care or think about women's issues at all and I find it extremely frustrating. There are always the exceptions, but again, it's very rare.
Yes, and also: ALL asian men? Like ALL of them? EVER? That's just lack of imagination/googling! I'd be willing to bet money that, for every person, that there's at least one person out there of every ethnicity who they're attracted to.
I know right? I wish people would stop telling me "I don't find people of your race, height, weight, body shape, head size, and eye color attractive. Plus I hate your face, and you have a stupid name."
EXACTLY this. If you don't find asian men attractive, ok, but you HAVE GOT to realize that vocalizing it is tactless and possibly offensive and you should keep that shit to yourself.
"Some white men will only date people of asian decent. Are they also considered racist?"
That's female hormones for ya. Your body's like, fuck no, we're keeping this fat. It's comfy.
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the world of online dating, but people openly communicate things like that CONSTANTLY. This is not an isolated or bizarre case.
Since dating is not a democracy, it's not racist to have a preference for a person of similar background. But... when people say stuff like "I don't find Asian men attractive," I have to wonder, did you really need to communicate that shit to me? It's called an inner life — that's where you put those thoughts you…
"Some white men will only date people of asian decent. Are they also considered racist?"
The article was about attraction based on RACE, not sex.
I'm completely serious. I realize its the same guy. But fat Andy Dwyer wouldn't be cast in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie and if he gains that weight back he won't be in very many movies going forward.
I see that going on in my life. When I got out of grad school and got a good job, I put everything into my job. I let my diet, exercise and health slide. I got up to 250 pounds, which is a lot, even on the frame of a 6'3" man with broad shoulders. I wore nicely tailored suits that hid a lot of it, but when I started…
