All I know is that the next time someone accuses me of being drunk or high I’m gonna scream "MYSONGONY!" and ride off into the sunset on my tricycle

Have white people ever claimed to have invented saris? Renamed them Wrappy Fabric Dresses or something and tried to sell them in Little India as the latest fashion? If not, then this is a faulty comparison.

Traditional Indian women STILL wear braids as their preferred hairstyle. If you see an old Indian lady in your neighborhood in a sari, she’s either got a long braid or a bun. Guaranteed. But we never claim it or get worked up or upset when other people wear braids. Indian people for the most part don’t really give a…

Guido Drumpf is disappointed there is no one appropriating his hair style.

Also... Not even trying to be controversial but I’m part Indian and i grew up thinking braids was OUR thing because long braided hair is a very traditional classic Indian look... Whenever I would go to Indian dances or weddings or other functions growing up we used to have extensions braided into our hair so we would…

Your mom gave your sisters an “ample” supply so they could share with other girls who forgot their own. Just so you know.

Notice how men are the only ones who are sensitive about it? I bet you this guy has no problem watching a violent and bloody Quentin Tarantino movie, but the word period is just too icky!

Your euphemisms are nauseating. If you can’t even say the words period or menstruation you should not be commenting on an article about tampons. Yes, that time of the month where women bleed out of their vagina because their uterine lining is shedding.

I've thought the same thing since middle school. I hate when people (asshole old men) think menstrual products are luxuries.

Gay lady here. I can’t speak for all of my community at large, but in the wake of this controversy I’ve seen something really important happening which I find incredibly valuable. People are sharing their memories of the Reagan years and the AIDS crisis, talking about loved ones who suffered and died, and many…

Good for her for apologizing. Although it will not be enough. Remember! She’s Satan!! We must hate her, all evidence to the contrary. Get those Republican talking points back out there!!

I don’t know about you, but after reading all the comments picking you apart, second-guessing your actions and passing judgement from on high, I want to go to bed and pull the covers over my head. Jesus.

when my son was about 2 or 3 he was toddling through town pushing his blue-clothed baby doll in his sister’s pink dolly stroller. He got a few funny looks, but one older man who I will love forever smiled at him and said, “I see you’re practicing being a good dad.” What a great attitude!

My moms obnoxiously christian friend had a sit down talk with me about watching RuPauls drag race “with your son in the room. You don’t want that life for him do you?” Okay first he was all of 16 months or something at the time so I’m not sure he really got the whole drag aspect. Second, if drag Race is how you become…

I can say my parents sticking up for me in moments of sexist bullshit made a difference. Though I will say you can’t always be there and there has to be some acknowledgement of that.

I wish my mom had been more like you! Between getting picked on for having boobs to having someone hit me in the head with his trombone mute almost every day (that sucker really hurt), junior high was the worst time of my life. I could have used a parent that didn’t dismiss it as “boys will be boys” behavior.

That karate anecdote really hit home for me. Karate was my life from ages 10-16, when I finally got my black belt. However, once thrown into class with the other black belts, most of whom were men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, I quit within six months. Why? Because they made inappropriate and sexist remarks about my…

I am so glad you are calling this shit out every single time. I have two daughters. I see the same stuff happening around them and I also call it out.
