I've written and erased this like seven times now, it all comes out so awkward. I've been in the deep dark pit of despair of feeling like your entire world is shit and that everything would be better if you didn't exist. But it's a lie. Depression lies to you. They're sweet, easy lies. But it kills.
What's worse is that this phenomenon in failures of recognition of discrimination permeates still to racial discrimination, all the way to our very own Supreme Court. Sadly, white men, a set of which I am (sadly) a member, continuously cast a blind eye in the direction of the Other, whether it be sex, gender,…
I kept waiting for a discussion similar to this on what was problematic about DJANGO, but it never happened. Few people seemed to have a problem with that movie whereas I wanted to leave the theatre. I honestly don't know who Tarantino thinks he. So now when I see this discussion in reference to OITNB sprouting up, I…
No, I agree with you. It struck me as odd that the TITLE CHARACTER was the most underdeveloped character in the movie.
Um DJANGO anyone?? Where the African American hero was a quite unexplored character compared to the white european man (except Django's snazzy choices in attire)...I was so annoyed by that in addition to the ridiculous ultra-violence that in its most torturous form was doled out on the Django character. But NO ONE…
She was walking to work one day and tripped and what do you know - the CEO job of her dreams held out its hand to help her up. It was just meant to be! Later the CEO job proposed under a starry sky in the park.
According to Mayer, it's actually a total accident that she became one of the few female leaders of a tech company because she had no real "grand plan" for any of her success.
A headset is optional, sure, but a fun and safe gaming environment shouldn't be as well. No one deserves to be harassed, regardless of the situation. Implying that it is her fault because she was wearing a headset takes the blame completely off the jerk that ruined her gaming experience.
Yes, a headset is optional. However, playing a game and being able to communicate with other players is a service that you pay for. You shouldn't have to not use that service because people are assholes, and especially when there is a system in place that is supposed to make sure that assholes are weeded out.
Sick victim blaming.
Just cause she has the ability to ignore what happened doesn't make it okay to do it to begin with. You have the option of ignoring the fact that someone raped your wife/girlfriend/mom/sister. Doesn't make it right to do so.
.. Are you kidding me? That's like saying you can just "delete" someone when they insult you in person. Yeah, shit happens, people say mean stuff, but they shouldn't get off scot-free because they say such things. They need to be punished, and it's a shame that Microsoft took such a long time to do that.
I'm sitting here wishing I could *view* that Whoopi Goldberg-sitting-next-to-Jenny-McCarthy photo as an eyeroll gif. It *will* happen, though, sooner rather than later, I'm guessing and hoping.
i'd like to start an atheist school where religion of any stripe is banned and if parents want their children to learn about a certain faith they do so at home. what's that? that's how the public school system is supposed to work? i call BS.
Seeing as how Ms Hodge's mind was blown by a Muslim school, she'd probably go into a full code if, say, a group smaller than one of the three LARGEST religions in the world applied to the voucher program.
Numbers are the tools of the devil. Muslims are responsible for algebra, after all.
A thousand Muslim schools in Louisiana?
Atheists still horrified we're having any conversation about religion at all.
