I can’t figure out why this would be. *scratches head* No idea.

I hate country, but I love me some Dixie Chicks. I drove hours to see them about 15 years ago. So worth it. Their talent! And remember when they came out against Bush? Oh, I'm going to have a little walk down happy, feminism lane now!

I’m still agog at this. Gloria Frickin’ Steinem!! Is it 1970?

Have you never heard of Loving v Virginia? Probably that last major use of the word, but used repeatedly in the decision. A decision that made interracial marriages legal all over the country. Education. Great thing.

But that means the OP doesn’t know Loving v Virginia. I think that’s worse.

I’m adopted and got the “they’re not your real parents” shit all the time because I’m obviously a different, undermined race/ethnicity. The comments seemed to come from white people only. It always hurt me, because those are my real parents and have been since I was 2 days old.

Um, that kid could very well be their child and biracial. Way to perpetuate racist stereotypes!

I had the exact situation. Dated Vietnamese guy, who was shorter than I was to boot! We received a lot of comments within the Vietnamese community that I, gladly, couldn’t understand. People said mean, ugly, gross shit and he heard it all.

You deserve so many stars for this. That would be perfect poetic justice.

You don’t think it’s worse being said by a black man?

Exactly! I was getting worried no one else noticed that. I guess being a misogynist is fun no matter the fucked up implications?

Yep. I’m 100% certain you’re correct. Said the same thing in another thread. It pisses me off that there are many people who just don't get this.

I also think a lot of his comment (we paid for you) is due to a dynamic of misogyny. I can’t see someone doing the exact same thing to a male celeb (in this way). I think fab would generally be, “oh, okay. Sorry.” And walk away, instead of foisting this shit on a female celeb.

Mom:

Are you sure you’ve seen her mom? She’s obese and has huge breasts. Her sister’s aren't huge.

Ms. Workman has HUGE breasts (she’s obese), so she should understand the weight of large breasts. Really, this is just another way she is trying to insert herself into the lives of the children who legally and emotionally divorced her. What a fucking piece of work.

Kirk—if a woman isn’t married, what’s her purpose then? (I think I know the answer to the question—that we have no purpose.)

Military experience is a BS “requirement” that is intended to disqualify women.

*sigh* Edwards. I’m still hurting over that one. I thought he was the white whale—an honest politician. He made his career in personal injury law. I know many PI attorneys and all are dishonest to some degree. I should’ve followed my experience, not my hope. *sigh*
