I’m black, and I’m perfectly fine with the double standard regarding who can and cannot say nigga. White people are going to have to let that one go.

Cool, I really hope this spurs a conversation on talk radio amongst old white guys on whether or not young African Americans should “be allowed” to use the N word. This is the most pressing concern regarding race relations in this country and it needs to be discussed.

she got keds on w saint laurent

all yall are h8rs that shirt is fly

She doesn’t owe it to anyone else to be decorative in her personal life.

I think her clothes fit well and that she looks appropriate for the occasion and very cute. And her tee-shirt is Saint Laurent and retails for $450.00. But...ok. Fashion tastes differ, of course.

What pisses me off is that some of his advice is terrible for people. His shit works if you are eyeballs deep in debt. The notion that if you are in any sort of debt, the only solution is to stop all 401k contributions is insane.

Yeah, no, that’s not how the world works. It’s a wonderful view to hold, but it just isn’t the way things are. The boss and the person on the street aren’t analogous because what you’re talking about is a crime (theft, assault) for which one can face legal punishment. Someone you’re dating for a few months? All you

He doesn’t seem to know that the M is for Math. The chicks have obviously addled his brains with all their thinky-talky female folderol.

Right!? The clearest proof that sexism still exists is every damn comments section on an article about sexism.

Here’s the disconnect, as I see it. I’m not acting like a girl. I am a girl. It’s a part of me every hour of every day, even while coding! For reasons I won’t really get into, I’d like to be treated like a human adult, meaning that I think people should be respectful towards me and treat me like a colleague instead of

“We need to be more polite” “Women are fickle, moody, and easily slighted, can’t take a joke, and are basically ruining everything because they’re tired of being treated poorly in STEM fields.”

To everyone insisting that the first three questions quoted here are either “always rude” or “sometimes fine” and otherwise not about gender: you are willfully ignoring the context of the article. The author clearly included them because they were OBVIOUSLY motivated by gender bias when she heard them, not because she

EVERY time I see an article where women are trying to share their experiences and issues that they face, a SWARM of derailing people - mostly men - flood the comments with the same crap. But I’ve said that to men too! But it’s been said to me! But I am going to focus on a pedantic semantic issue rather than the topic!

See, the whole “quit acting like a girl” thing is what you need to avoid. That’s a key point that doesn’t seem to be sinking in for you. If your brain formulates thoughts like that, then yes, you should walk on eggshells and self-edit. If you can manage to string together a few nonsexist thoughts, then by all means,

Yup. If a woman prefers being referred to as a girl, fine, but referring to all women as girls is just infantizing.

If you call someone “boy”, it’s a grave insult, especially if he’s a person of color. Call a woman “girl” and she’s supposed to be flattered and giggly for being referenced in a younger and presumably more helpless context.

Also stop calling women “girls”. Girls are children.

OMG, this lie about “not being the same down there” after childbirth needs to stop. It’s the most ridiculous piece of misogynistic propaganda. Fucking hell, what happened to feminism?
