Ah, the old "if it won't make a huge impact, don't even bother!" argument.

I don't think this article is about people who have it rough. It's about college kids using their parents money to buy bags of fast fashion clothing and then dumping it a month later because it is out of fashion. It's about someone who has an extra $100 and the time and transportation to go shopping just for fun,…
But it breaks the chain of "Fast Fashion." Instead of throwing clothes away and purchasing new ones, we are recycling clothes to make them last longer and not contributing money directly to companies that use sweatshops. Ideally, you would be able to purchase money from ethical companies at the same time to help them…
Girls push themselves out due to cultural expectations and stereotypes. We should be combatting that while also supporting the humanities.
Yeah its not like cultural trends push girls out of mathematics or anything.
Due to the byline, I was really expecting it to be revealed that Burt Reynolds founded Burt's Bees. Disappoint.
Agree! It seems like one thing to me for someone to throw slurs and then issue a non-apology *cough Alec Baldwin cough*. But, if you make a mistake and admit you screwed up, is that really unforgivable?
Yeah I didn't realize until I read other comments after I replied. Oops :/
Considering how hard it is to be accepted and get treatment even today, this statement comes across a little tone deaf.
They are so comfortable. I might need to reinvest.
Replying to promote.
My favorite is the "random sketchy NYC jewelry store" that got turned into a fucking froyo place. A classic part of the city gone!
Heaven forbid I have a differing opinion on a joke by a mid level comedian. I didn't realize Amy Schumer was above critique or reproach. I hate the "it's satire leave it alone" reasoning. Just because it's satire doesn't make it good satire.
Hm. I suppose I can agree with most of that. I still feel most of the audience is laughing due to her having an abortion not how she is making a clever statement about how people don't know the difference between plan b and an abortifacient. If that is the deeper layer than good for her. I think the joke would have…
Perosnally, I found the sketch I linked to just be flippant about abortion for shock value, not for irony. I feel like many people don't know the difference between plan b and the abortion pill and it was just Amy Schumer making a joke by throwing out misinformation and that it's perpetuating the myth that plan b…
Now playing
If you say so.
Oh, Amy Schumer, another abortion joke. Aren't you hilarious. The last one I saw was her calling Plan B an abortion pill. Funny and factual! (not.)
I just saw your random "what if a crazy person on the bus calls me a racist!" comment. Even with the hyperbolic title of this article, that example is outside of the scope of intelligent and thoughtful debate on this subject. Every example in this article is something that clearly has a little stink of racism to…
Your vague hypothetical is pretty much impossible to answer. Are you saying someone did something racist in ignorance? (Their action is still racist.) Are you saying someone was accused of doing something racist, but it wasn't racist at all? (I'm in the camp that if something has a waft of racism, it's probably…
