It’s sad because they know they’ve seen age discrimination with the same flimsy excuses and double standards - is it really a stretch to believe that someone else has had similar experiences based on a different characteristic?

Hollywood badly needs its own version of the NFL’s Rooney Rule. It doesn’t set up a quota system that requires a set number of POCs get hired, but it forces predominantly white power structures to at least meet with minority candidates every single time they’re looking to hire someone for a senior management. Even…

Close, but I think us white western males are, to quote Frank Sinatra’s letter to George Michael, “top dog on the top rung of a tall ladder.”

Pretty sure she’s refering to the fact that she’s more likely to be given a book about a dog as a main character before one with a black girl as a main character.

YES. I want some Jewish protagonists that have nothing to do with the holocaust k thx.

Darn it. I can’t edit my comment!!! I wasn’t trying to be dense. I misread the statement. I’M SORRY, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! And now I have to keep repeating this because people now think I was being a racist asshole.

We had to read Where the Red Fern Grows out loud in my 7th grade classroom and it destroyed me. I’m fine not reading that kind of dog story.

I misunderstood what she was saying. I apologized in another comment. I don’t know how to edit my original one.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH, yeah, okay. I read that as she was tired of reading about those two things separately. Not about white boys AND their respective dogs. That’s why I was like um.. I get it. I need to add an ETA to my comment!

I feel like most popular children’s books with black girl protagonists are historical books (about slavery or the civil rights movement), and while those topics are undoubtedly very important, it’s like... Being black isn’t the only thing that black girls have to offer. And don’t even get me started on the white…

Naw, what she said is she was sick of reading about BOYS and their dogs. She wanted to see representations of people that look like herself. Her issue was not with dogs, she used the ‘boys and their dogs’ as an example. #notalldogs

THE TIME IS RIPE FOR CAT NOVELS

Because, in kids books, the dog always dies.

Lucky for folks like us, Marley Dias is on the case....!

It was OK, but kinda rich coming from SNL.

So, I took the time to reply thoughtfully about how women are more likely to be killed by someone that they’ve been in a relationship with, and how men have the privilege of not worrying about that as much, all to maybe get someone to think about things from another’s point of view. Then you come along and willfully,…

And yet, I have seen more than once, a man’s response to the Atwood quote be: “sure killing is bad, but being laughed at is a really serious thing that men fear.”

If 100 men get murdered, and 2.5% of them are killed by their SO women, that’s 2.5 men. Fixed that for you. Not sure why you compared 100 to 1000. Not even close to equal

I’m so glad you escaped. I hope you have tons of support and that the nightmares go away at some point.

It’s obvious you’re just going to repeat the same comment as if that will somehow make it true (it’s not). I’m out.
