It just comes across as the dad's struggle to maintain black stereotypes rather than breaking them. For instance, his kids show an interest in something he doesn't find black enough and instead of supporting them to do their own thing, he tries to push them to do the more "black"thing.

It's amazing that he felt he had the authority to start an acting school after his contribution as Dodgson.

The USDA apparently first learned of the case on June 23 (one wonders how, if it's been going on for more than a year),

I feel like we need to sort "sex work" in the sense of women who choose to enter the field, whether they're strippers, porn stars or prostitutes, and what Oakland is trying to combat here, which is essentially sexual assault on an industrialized scale.

Thanks for making a distinction between sex work and sex slavery. I work in an office and I am reimbursed for my labour (although I think I could stand to get a bit more reimbursement) that is why I am labeled a worker. Had I been forced to work 9-5 and only been paid 10% of my salary along with all of the mental…

Does it ever occur to these asshole fathers that the only reason they are afraid of their daughters dating is because they treated women so fucking horribly until they met the one they decided to marry/procreate with? Why doesn't anyone ever discuss the desire to teach their sons how to treat women like human fucking…

I concur. A few weeks ago, my Best Friend for Lyfe told me that he'd never interfere if one of his geek friends took advantage of a drunk woman - because the poor geek might not get another chance to "get some" in a long time, and the woman shouldn't care anyway if she were that drunk.

I realize this is a blanket statement (and that young men can be lovely and young women can be dipshits), but it boggles my mind and turns my stomach to no end that men fill federal, state, and private leadership positions with a staggering majority while women stereotypically have their shit together much earlier in…

PARANOIA. That's right, keep letting the "experts" (have you checked their *cough corporate cough*) qualifications? I like to rely on my friend science (and my other friend history when I'm not sure about my first friend).

a lot of these foods wouldn't affect us so badly if we hadn't become a nation of hand-sanitizing bubble boys. keep a little bacteria in and on your person, and it'll help you stave off a worse bug.

I practically have a shrine for my cats and those fuckers are still alive

Thank you.

Ugh. Science writing on Jezebel.

This is a valid concern. I agree with it whole-heartedly. I have submitted examples of my own feminist science writing, but apparently they prefer clickbait.

I'm going to avoid the temptation to drag this conversation down to name-calling level so let me just be open about my concern:

Rest assured, Kanye won't rest until he can get a diamond star for Kim.

She looks like David Bowie.

Oh come on, it didn't take 22 firefighters to get him out, the call came over the radio and they all had to go check out the doufus

Anderson Cooper giggled uncontrollably during his date with Randy Rainbow too.
