I heard that people used to request donors who look like them, but these days, people request super-donors, people who are exceptional in every way, including family health history and conventional attractiveness.

Maybe if we had a wider socioeconomic range of female pundits, the US would actually have some family friendly policies.

Yes. Also different cultures have different ways of naming people. As a Black woman, I do not see taking a man's name as selling out, despite having "mom's lastname- dad's lastname" because they are both slave names. If I marry someone whose name is not from a slave owner, then it is more real to me.

How does sweeping a chimney curl a person's hair?

Me too. I thought watching 12 Years a Slave would be traumatic, but with modern-day stories of racism, from "flesh" toned heels at the tiny end, to microagressions in public, to non-Black people killing Black people (not in self-defense) AND getting away with it,* I. Can't. Even.

But the sweet potato street food is SO GOOD on a cold day!

This is probably less offensive to Japanese people, who are at home and more offensive to Japanese-Americans, who have to deal with ignorant ideas about their culture on a regular basis. Japanese-Americans are at home in the US, but it's not welcoming to frequently be referred to as an outsider and for people to…

Thank you. Not every girl is reared with princess fantasies.

People really do themselves a disservice when they focus on identity more than behavior, because people like the man in the suit will take advantage and many like him get away with it.

It's interesting how many commenters are giving the rude retail and other service workers the benefit of the doubt. It must be nice to routinely get the benefit of the doubt in life. Yet POC workers do not get the same with stereotypes of the curt immigrant shopkeeper, rude black DMV employee, etc. It's as if some…

In an environment that is open like a restaurant, a person can observe if a server is treating other people differently. For example, is the server rude to you and polite to others? Are there people seated after you who get their meal much sooner? Are the people getting better service in the same group, a group that…

A giant ass trophy? A grammatical notation? A trophy for one's hindquarters?

If not Photoshop, then perhaps she was hanging on the side of a pool with her shins on the deck. Someone put the shoes on and she took a deep breath and did a handstand. If she has synchronized swimming skills, the same could have occurred in the deep end with her dry on a large flotation device.

Some call it a "drinking problem"

It's such a specific body type, even more so than the thin models!

Yes, clearly that opinion is from a boy or a man unfamiliar with office professional wear.

With the comment on "men's" suits, I assume middle school kids were polled.

African-American; studied abroad for junior year of college; zero dates.

I appreciate her willingness to be goofy in an unsexy way. She dressed up as an Angry Bird for Halloween once, despite all the "sexy ____" costumes she could choose from.

Whenever the latest intolerance-related story comes out, I think, "[insert oppressed group] people just want to live!" Folks just want to live in peace, but too often other people get in the way of that.
