Just for a little perspective on how severe this is...

That’s very true!
And, personally, I don’t give a shit.
Where did I say they should? I was very pointed in what I addressed from the article above. Nowhere did I give blanket support to the fashion industry or state of modelling today. I agree with you. I mainly think it’s ludicrous because a girl isn’t a woman. And because it sets up an exploitative situation that no…
These aren’t opinions, though. It’s the state of the field right now.
But in this arena there is the implicit notion that it’s a complaint.
Exclusion is the nature of luxury. If everyone could have it, why would you want it? That’s the thinking. It’s not illogical. It’s animal brain stuff that we all have. I’m quite sure there’s something you prize in life that you would, on an emotional level, feel was devalued if others could easily have it.
It’s a niche because there aren’t that many 16 and over women willingly to spend thousands a seasons on outfits reliably. A lot of women are that size and higher, yes. But how many want to spend $1,000 on a ready to wear blouse or skirt, $3,000 on a coat? And do so regularly? That would support more than a handful…
I think the fact that most women are at least a size twelve is precisely why those sizes are never going to be the high fashion norm. Designers are all about who they can exclude to drive up the price and prestige of their clothes. I remember an obese Lagerfeld insinuating that if women couldn’t wear his tiny Chanel…
It may help you to know what BLM’s actual goals are before deciding if you support them
blasphemy! don’t even think of comparing Seinfeld to this campy mess. no matter the time that hass passed, Seinfeld is still brilliant. even satc has some merit, still-at least with Sam and Miranda, or it can still be funny, sometimes. ally mcbeal was always too much of whimsy and neurosis.
You’re awesome!
I was at the gym on January 2nd of this year. There were many heavy people on the sacred cardio machines, doing their things. There were a handful of already fit-looking people hovering around that area waiting for machines, getting huffy. (I was in the adjacent weight area for the first time, my…
How about the fact that she will send cease and desist letters to fans selling Taylor swift items on Etsy, but has not denounced the KKK or other white supremacists for their infatuation/usage of her likeness.
Predominantly white religious minorities include Jews and a large percentage of Muslims. Atheists aren’t religious but it is a belief system that experiences discrimination.
I’m not really sure which white religious minorities you’re talking about here.
If, in your eyes, the actions of a few BLM affiliated individuals can undermine the entire movement, you never strongly believed in the cause in the first place.
Thank you for approaching this with something other than “you are clearly white so your opinion doesnt matter”
I don’t know if you’re listening to BLM folks or only hearing/seeing what takes others are offering about BLM folks. BLM is pretty squarely and consistently against the escalated violence by police on citizens period. That the vast majority of the cases we’re seeing out there happen to be instances of cops doing…
BLM is unconcerned with winning allies, least of all allies like yourself.
