We have to accept that educational institutions are not equipt to be the judge and jury inregards to sexual assault. Period.

Not to be a bummer, but is there any reason to believe that expulsion results in the rapist being less rapey in other environments? Does the reason for the expulsion even follow him? Is it recorded on his transcript? I understand why people like the idea of expulsion, but it's a bit too much like transferring…

Um a mosque was burned down in Texas and 3 Muslims were killed in Chapel Hill last month...so uh yeah, we're not as far off as we should be.

There are people who are determined to get rid of their babies and would do so illegally and unsafely if they thought they'd have to face a person and answer questions while doing it.

dude i thought skanking was what white kids did at mighty mighty bosstones & rancid shows

She said she was receiving scripts. They just weren't making sense to her. She won the Oscar and they knew she could act, yet they were still keeping her wages down. This is where equal wages comes into play. We should be supporting her stance.

Too be fair, I very much doubt Gabby Sidibe could fit in a coach seat and it would be pretty humiliating to try. It's also true that if they were flying the cast to France, it would be the industry standard to buy the star a first class seat.

That's exactly what she was doing. And that is exactly the problem. Well, one of them. There are gay people and people of color that ARE women. Those groups are not mutually exclusive.

That's where the problem lies with the whole speech. 'Those folks' ARE us, already, and they've been a part of the fight long before white women came to the forefront. Women can be both gay and of colour, so her lack of clarity comes off as very privileged and tone-deaf at the very least.

It was written by Lena Dunham and Jezebel has had a hate boner for her for awhile now. Don't really know why, but they quickly went from "LENA DUNHAM BEST PERSON EVAAAARRRRR LOLOLOL SHE WORE UGLAY DRESS 2 AWARD SHOW LOLOL SHE SO GRATE" to "Like ahmahgahd what a bitch like all the time why does she wear stupid things…

Sometimes Twitter IS perfection.

I still can't get over the fact that the Australian guy is a known child molester.

... ideally, regulation that would improve pay for surrogates, monitor living conditions and pre-and-postpartum care, and levy taxes on this stellar womb bargain in a way that would benefit in-country education for young girls and reproductive care for women.

No more womb to rent.

"A transaction part business part sisterhood." No. Just no. Fuck the "Jennifers" of the world. Labor isn't "labor." Other vulnerable women's bodies aren't factories in which to construct your family. Find a volunteer or live with your own personal existential tragedy. You aren't owed a baby.

I'm not personally comfortable with commercial surrogacy, and I have nothing but blind hot rage over that piece of shit Australian couple.

I may not necessarily agree with the Houston/Brown families choice for BK. But I feel in situations like this its their decision to make. I couldn't imagine having to make a choice like that and I will not judge.

If it was some socio-political commentary on the violation of privacy and identity of celebrity children AND/OR the lack of safety for minority minors, that would be one thing, but I have a feeling Kanye just thought it looked cool.

I'd also point out that Kylie Jenner is the daughter of Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner. Both of them are of northern European ancestry. Even if you are going to apply the WOC label, which I think is inaccurate for the reasons people have mentioned, it doesn't apply to ANY of the Jenner kids.

Absolutely, but that myth is definitely not exclusive to black people. There are dozens of videos on Youtube with white folks talkin about how men and women can't be friends. Whether or not he wants to be white, I think it's safe to say he values whiteness more than blackness.
