Seriously. The royal love here on Jezebel is kind of weird, but ok, whatever.

I never had anyone clean for me - growing up or as an adult - until I developed arthritis. Now that there are things I literally can't do, I pay someone. But it's fucking weird. I "clean up" for the cleaner but still, the notion that some one else cleans up after my own adult self is off. There's a power dynamic…

I hate the "this color is in fashion" thing. People look different, guys! As someone with a healthy dose of melatonin, I look terrible in the pale pastels that look so good on people with fairer skins. A few years ago, when pastels were the only thing you could buy, my only options were black and grey. We need…

I think that just like some people have a gene that makes them think Cilantro tastes like soap, others hate Bjork. I find her precious (in a bad way) and her voice, specifically, unpleasant. I recognize that it is very much a 'taste' thing - I'm too distracted by my dislike of her style that I can't appreciate her…

In my experience, there's plenty of class issues remaining in Europe. Being able to buy a title would bring a lot of bad memories, I would guess. UK being the one exception but then again the UK's just weird on class.

Don't know if a picture of a character who happens to be blond, blue eyed queen adored by the unwashed dark skinned masses whom she frees from slavery is really the appropriate one in this thread.

I don't disagree with you, but why look at Western empires, when there are plenty of Muslim empires ISIS is learning from? White people aren't in fact the center of the world, for good and for bad, although they tend to think they are.

Except that these antiquities are part of these people's identity and history; so sure, it's better to destroy people's identity versus their lives, but it is still a terrible blow.

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter.

Really? That's funny, because all the people who sexually harassed me at work were men. My anecdote is no more scientific than yours.

I have arthritis and the mornings are the worst. Even though I wake up before 6 AM naturally, getting to work before 9:30-10:00 AM is not realistic. I need to warm up, stretch, take care of myself before I can even think of leaving. Point is, many people deserve consideration in the workplace, not just parents.

You seem to think that abusers are evil people with horns, and not the kind of folks who might comment on Jezebel. But that's not how it works.

Maybe it's that dreaded "parenting judgement", and maybe it's people like me, who were once children and had parents like that, who know first hand what it feels like. Good on you for knowing your faults. If you have such an uncontrollable temper, than no, maybe the answer is you shouldn't have kids.

Thanks for making this really important point.

Your point of view is incredibly condescending. So us brown people are unable to be feminists and should not be held to the same standards? What happened to the universality of human rights?

Oh for fuck's sake. Feminism has made far more inroads in the West than it has in India - or most of the world, for that matter. If you can't acknowledge that incredible success, that's just... crazy.

It was the mindset of much of the world before feminism. India's in the fairly unique position (like Turkey) that it has a very progressive press with a still deeply conservative society. The fact that this is happening in the open, as terrible as it is, is in my mind real progress.

Yeah, like all powerful nations in history ever, on every continent? Read a history book once in a while.

It's terrible how hard you made me laugh... poor woman.

It's hard to believe that people who grew up with so much privilege, and act like a jerks, will ever redeem themselves to be awesome, amazing people. They don't need to.
