Snap! I didn’t remember this one, now that’s a 10 year gap between the marketing used now. Makes you wonder in their studies after “I wanna be one less”marketing is that when they decided to start going after the parents. Can’t help but notice that the ads left the girl powered theme alone & started focusing in on the…

Oh, if only it actually led them to care about Malaysia more! If anything, I’ve only ever seen it manifest as an excuse to appropriate the culture of their 2% heritage with an entitled sense of impunity.

I am Mexican and I thought it was cool to find out what portion of me is Native and what portion is Spanish. I found some African too which we always suspected but the history of African slaves was basically erased in Mexico. I think it is important to talk about it. Another important thing I think we should discuss…

On the other hand, they’ve also been a godsend for those of us who were adopted/are trying to find their birth families and half-siblings. So like anything, it’s about what you use it for I suppose.

The commercial DNA tests have issues. Their cohorts usually have certain ethnic groups underrepresented, and it’s all guesswork, anyway. The ethnicity groups are based on ratios of genetic variants and probability of certain haplotypes (sorry for the jargon) existing in certain populations. So the broad strokes are…

Jesus, I am so, so sorry for your loss and that you had to put up with that from your husband. I’m not trying to cast aspersions on his character, but he should have known it wasn’t about him and you needed him during that incredibly painful time in your life. I hope things are better (or getting there) for you <3

I think you’re spot-on here. (So, so sorry for your loss.)

He’s never going to pay, but everyone with a functioning brain cell already knew that, regardless of the outcome of the test.

Miller was in her life for much longer than Davidson, Miller was there for her through the horror of the bombing and the concert after it....not to mention what I’m sure she went through trying to help him cope with his addiction. I suspect, like a lot of people, she didn’t break up with him because she didn’t love…

He isn’t bipolar, for one.  And for two, the speculation and gossip that I’ve seen is not that he HAS a disorder, it’s that he is managing it incorrectly, should never be in a relationship with his disorder, etc etc etc.  

Harrison Ford’s character rapes Rachel. Don’t lecture me on agency and gender in that film.

BladeRunner is not a good movie. It’s boring, the plot is so-so, Ford’s performance is mediocre and disinterested at best and the entire affair is emotionally distant in the worst way. Ridley Scott has always been a hit or miss director and BladeRunner was another miss.

Someone who cites BladeRunner as a a relationship “must” is definitely a douche. That film’s (and its sequel’s) gender politics are painful. 

His response was fine. It backed up her initial interview. She was a normal, healthy person getting married to a man who used drugs and narcissism to treat his mental illness. It didn’t work. She was boring, he was a chore. 

The precedent has already been set that women who bring their cases to court either a) can’t get it all the way through or b) watch their rapists get off. An infinitesimal number of rapists are actually jailed. Your assertion that women should subject themselves to an invasive and traumatizing process as “the only…

Yes, surely the only way to change a system that already doesn’t listen to survivors or send their abusers to jail is by *using that system.* WHY DIDN’T ANYONE THINK OF THAT BEFORE.

Everyone shut up about your rape unless you plan on torturing yourself publicly for the next few years of your life! Dwayne said so!

#MeToo has been around for 12 years, actually, and was coined by a black woman to help other black women process trauma. It’s not a movement by or solely for famous actresses.

Additionally, stop telling women that they are hurting other women by not naming names. These experiences are extremely painful and rehashing…

Man, if you can convince STRIPPERS to call you a cab? That is a BAD DATE.

I really feel the date should have ended with a “Deere John” letter...
