I saw the video that went with the campaign and even my white husband thought it was “off”. It’s not racism. It definitely is more ignorance/bad editing/poor decision making. But it does not let GAP off the hook. That’s why you have folks of diverse backgrounds actually creating your content.

I’d rather see this face. All day every day.

I’ve been on the McKinnon train for a while now... there is nothing bad about her.

I used to think my Cetaphil regimen would be all I needed until I noticed my 39 year old face looking a little...dull. I started subbing in Philosophy’s Microdelivery Face Wash just two times a week as an exfoliant, and I use their Hope in a Jar (reformulated version) as my moisturizer. My face is so much softer, and…

I was going to write the same damn thing. The fact that there is absolutely NO language in this bill referring to birth control is evidence that they only care about FORCING women to give birth rather than abort. They don’t want to touch birth control or family planning with a ten foot pole. They don’t actually want…

Change that to abusing people, period. I know plenty of men who have been sexually assaulted as well.

I’m a survivor, too.

I think I knew that happened... it may have been a plot element in an Anne Rice novel, actually. That is an aspect we often overlook!

Um, yeah. I just wish someone fat and famous would say flat out “If you continually bully me for being fat, it will lower my self esteem and I will continue to hate myself. If I constantly see images of “perfect” bodies in my face all day it will make me continue to hate myself. However, if I see many types of bodies,…

Seconded. My Dad did his “I’m a shitty person” act when I was 9 and by the time I was 11, my Mother had enough. I reconnected a good 15 years before he died, but the relationship was always filled with regret on his end and anger on mine. My husband is an awesome man and I like to think that if we had a kid, he would…

Where the flip do you live????? I mean, is it some fabulous racial utopia that I haven’t heard of yet? I’m seriously intrigued. I hate comment flame wars and would rather spend my time in debate or discussion in order to understand where the other person is coming from, but for someone who may not (and I don’t know…

It may not be your “norm”, which is EXCELLENT. But it is a problem that exists for people. You may not see it, or live it, but it’s there. This article is not “making a mountain out of a molehill”, but rather illuminating a frustration that almost every cosplayer of color that I know has first hand experience with.…

What? He should be proud of that! Unless, you know, his free ancestors owned slaves. Fully possible.

I have too. And I definitely don’t have endometriosis. I go through so much Ibuprofen during my menses that I avoid it for almost every other regular type pain like headaches due to being afraid of getting ulcers! I tried herbals that screwed with my cycle (don’t mess with Dong Quai unless you have a professional…

I’ve had people tell me to my face that I should not be cosplaying a certain character because I’m black. It was only once, but it stung. It was real and it happened. IN FUCKING ATLANTA, too. My own home town let me down...however I know tons of black, asian and latino cosplayers in ATL.

Is Jordin Sparks gay or did I miss something?

In my day it was “The Snake”, “The Smurf” and “The Prep”. The names change and some of the moves change but honestly, that is what kids do. They have time on their hands.

And yet... almost every chick I know who has a healthy child got pregnant after nights of drinking. I’m not saying it’s right, just how it is.

Agreed. I took ballet from the age of 3 to 14... never once did I EVER hear a teacher tell me that my body was “wrong” for ballet or that I didn’t have the feet or the turnout. Maybe I had a natural body for ballet, but I never heard my teachers say such things to other students. Fair enough, we were a small school in…

I don’t think the point was that you have to change yourself to get a guy. I think it turns that idea on its ear when BOTH characters try and change because they like each other so much. Danny even does it first! He joins a team and tries to get a letter jacket.

OMG. I just noticed your name... and then realized that I commented on a thread about CATS and my own username. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
