I know right? Sounds like she’s still someone who thinks that listening to TED talks makes you an intellectual. Uh, a little late on that Ivanka.

I get what you’re saying, but I’m not sure if I’m with you on that final point. Drake is seen as a rapper because he’s first and foremost a rapper. He also doesn’t have a particularly good singing voice, and there are tons of black male singers with incredible voices who are well-respected as singers. The Grammys…

I mean like I said I don’t think this girl (I’ll just assume it’s a female) was poor. I don’t really get the sense that most other people are defending her on that point either. I also wouldn’t make so many assumptions about how “well to do” anyone is just because people have hinted at attending private college. I…

Well, not quite. Private colleges (the top tier ones anyway) have huge endowments and can give full aid to any student who qualifies. If you’re high-performing and low-income there’s a good chance you’ll go basically for free. That said though, I agree, the poster doesn’t sound that poor.

Yep, Kurt would’ve turned 50(!) today. He didn’t even live to see 29. Kinda strange to think about.

As much as I also “stand with immigrants” this protest really wasn’t worth any of them losing their jobs over. If you know your boss is an unsympathetic asshole please don’t risk it. Also, I think the organizers of these protests need to start thinking about ways to engage people that don’t result in vulnerable people…

“Stop giving this guy a platform not because he is dangerous but because he is so silly.”

I’d say unless you’re currently living in Siberia or the Northwest Territories and are trapping, killing and skinning the animals yourself to wear in -40 degree weather you DO NOT get to wear fur. This is the only time I think fur anything is appropriate.

Yeah, I dunno. There are plenty of ways to be creative and successful without being in the public eye. You make it sound like Gaga just wanted to be an artist who happened upon fame as opposed to an artist who was single-minded driven to become famous for her art. Everything I’ve ever heard her say about her early…

Oh, can I also mention that I’m a lifelong self-identified liberal, feminist WOC who a few months back was called a “clueless white woman” by another commenter on this forum. Even though I’m usually in agreement with people here, I’ve noticed that there’s often no room to offer a differing opinion without getting…

Well, I’m sorry but I have to disagree with you. I don’t think that acknowledging that the victim made a decision that perhaps enabled/made them a target for a crime inherently blames the victim for that crime. There’s never anyone to blame other than the person who committed the act. Kim can acknowledge that…

I’ve been thinking about how to find the right words to say this exact same thing. I get frustrated regularly on this site with the fact that it’s nearly impossible to raise any questions about someone’s actions/decision-making without immediately getting accused of victim-blaming. I don’t see why it’s so offensive to…

I actually checked out the comments section in Breitbart because I was genuinely interested in seeing how his supporters would respond to this. Apparently not paying federal income taxes makes Trump a very smart man for knowing how to take advantage of the system without breaking the law. Keep in mind that these…

She obviously won the genetic lottery, but I can’t get past how close together her eyes are. IDK just something I always noticed about her.

Seriously. Also, the fact that anyone could ever conceive of a headline like this perfectly demonstrates why people who talk about not seeing race, but seeing “individuals” are usually bullshitting themselves. It really IS still a struggle for POC to be recognized as anything beyond what their racial/ethnic label…

Hmm, I assumed maternal mortality specifically meant women who died from complications from childbirth not just women who happened to die during pregnancy. Maybe not though.

Well, at least make room for some interesting white girls. I spent years listening to riot grrl punk rock mostly played by white women. Maybe not the most musically gifted, but at least they were badass and actually had half a clue as to what feminism actually is. I really don’t think white people have no choice…

Agree, and I think RuPaul makes a great point with this. Anyone who comes from a position of always existing outside of traditional systems of power has to be exceptionally diplomatic and compromising if they want to ascend within it. This isn’t necessarily selling out or corruption, but it’s a strategic understanding…

Huh, I’ve seen her before and after photos and never even noticed that. Now that you mention it though it’s very obvious. No one’s face can change like that without some kind of surgical intervention. I don’t have any problem with procedures like this though. I mean if I could afford to make minor, barely noticeable…

Yeah, I had a friend living there, so I stayed with her and she was able to take us around the city. However, without that support I think it would’ve been quite difficult especially if you’re not proficient in Spanish. I got the feeling that it’s difficult to move around the city/country autonomously as a foreigner…
