White people can be concerned about the mistreatment of people of color, too, so your comment does not make sense.

Read that as Jared Leto, Meathead Actor.

Just jumping on the Weinstein coattails. Whatever you say about Weinsten, THIS is a guy everyone knew about. The galling part is, his work isn’t even that good. Like, if you’re going to say “I was in it for the art/money” or some kind of justification, then you were on the wrong team twice.

Now that some repercussions are happening in the entertainment industry, I hope we normies get to benefit from a little trickle-down. It’s all well and good for everyone to clutch their pearls when these douchebags are exposed—and punished—for what they are, but quite another for people to pay attention when…

Hallelujah! I CANNOT WAIT to hear all the cussing and/or celebration that comes out of the photography dept tomorrow (ooops, today and it’s near my office). It’s gonna be muthafuckin’ glorious. I know enough about the situation, but can you give a sister some ammo to use against dipshit white boys?

Why on earth would the type of bra your 11-year-old is wearing under her clothes even be an issue though?

I think at 11 years old she’s still very much figuring out who she is, and a black stripper bra sends a certain message to an impressionable mind about “what is important” (i.e. sexiness).

I’m not trying to do that at all.

What is the right way to have this conversation?

You kinda lost me in the second paragraph there. Ya, maybe they shouldn’t feel shame, but I believe they should realize that their actions (or lack thereof) have meaningful consequences.

I think you can teach them how to defend themselves and how to avoid getting into some situations and how to say no while not making it about how they look or act around people.

But western feminists keep telling us the hijab is empowering.

Well of course “feminine modesty” (notice it’s always women who have to be “modest”, men can just wear whatever the fuck they want) is rooted in patriarchy. But somehow it’s totally fine to say this when it’s about Judaism but as soon as you point out the same thing happens in Islam, progressists lose their shit.

There are plenty of people with high IQs who lack a dollop of sense.

As a haver of an advanced degree, it really really doesn’t. It means you have very deep knowledge in a very narrow, specific area, and the bloodymindedness to finish a massive multiple-year-long project with the knowledge that maybe 20 people in the world will acknowledge the value in your work. It should mean you’ve…

She’s kinda been on both sides of it. A lot of her pro-vaccine statements are more about how people should decide for themselves, which is bullshit. They also came after the big outbreak at Disneyland when celebrities started coming under fire for their beliefs on the matter.

She’s also a promoter of homeopathy and anti-vax. Having an advanced degree does not make you a source of wisdom.

Judy Davis played older Judy Garland in Me and My Shadows (based on Lorna Luft’s memoir). She was sensational and got the Emmy Award for it. (Both the TV miniseries and especially the book are as close to definitive as it gets).

Didn’t Judy Davis do a Garland film taking place around that same time period?

Please, Prince in heaven, let him stop in the middle of Bye Bye Bye or some shit and have Janet come out with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to kill it with Control.
