It's a name so upper class sounding it has an ethnic slur in it.

This is late but I knowwww. Actually, the first thing I would do is not paint myself with shoe polish like a dick then I would scrub my social media.

I also take issue with her comments that these cultures are on the “brink of extinction.” I mean, my anthro degree is fifteen years old and I still remember how completely academically and morally wrong it is to characterize contemporary living people as “living fossils” who belong to “exotic” (read primitive)…

Yes! The ruffles. Uggh so unflattering on me. I’m short and curvy, ruffles are NOT my friend.

Not only that, but one of the parties seems distinctly evil nowadays.

I’ve conceded the Yangon point above.

Her silence on the persecution of the Rohingya Muslims is disgusting.

Look, I love babies. I like moms (some of them). But if I was invited to speak in from of hundreds of people, do a book signing, and participate in an intense professional conference, I’d arrange for child care for the day. No, you can’t bring your baby to work, sorry. That includes adjunct teaching. Advocate for…

I try to explain this at least once a week on Jezebel and I never even make a dent.

Mr. Beam’s also a troll, I’d ignore his ‘judgement’.

you’re probably right! but it’s still such a dumbshit unforced error. She knew the rules, she didn’t follow the rules. The end.
