I think you shouldn't conflate "non-egalitarian" with "low-socio economic class". This definitely has to do with what is socially acceptable from place to place but that does not map directly onto poor nations or even poor people within rich countries (the point the original poster was making). Currently, I live in…

Yes, living in DC I get the "SMILE!" command just about every-fucking-day. I have to do everything in my power not to punch men in the throat on a daily basis.

I dont think I've ever heard one song of hers...Is she a singer? Rapper? What is she exactly?

I honestly cant think of any famous man who deserves Riri....she is the queen

Yes! they should never change the illustrations. thats what made the book so memorable and fun to read with your friends. When I was a kid my BFF and I used to read this book over and over during sleepovers. I'm sad kids today wont be able to have those same memories.

I think that a lot of men - even the good ones - don't realize the sheer amount of harassment that women, particularly young women, go through every single day.

How do you go from "its a uniquely US thing" to "well at least not in Northern Europe"? I guarantee you this happens everywhere.

"do you ever remember being in Wichita, KS?"

I fucking LOVE the Rih Rihport!

Black girl here: ummm....everything he said was pretty vague for a reason. and you just proved the exact reason why he doesnt want to comment on these issues by REACHING for outrage at what are really banal and uncontroversial statements. I'm also really tired of people pushing this "new" vs "old" black thing like…

In Missouri, if you are HIV+ you have to get written consent from all sexual partners. they wont take you at your word in terms of informed consent

Couldnt agree more

Yes

I know! maybe your dad should sue for false advertising

omg I have a few friends who are now obsessed with baby wipes (I also work in the water sector) and I'm like "Please! Stop!" but there's something about it once you start you cant go back to regular TP. and the companies are now selling these wipes that are supposedly flushable so people wont listen to reason.

I love R&B and I dont feel like its making fun of fans, just regressive lyrical content.
