For real.

Another was just really hungry.

*ahem*

So, hah. This is a case of the author not doing research. She makes it sound like the women were treated well: "oh wait you WANTED to bang that guy? INTO THE DRINK HARLOT"

But to say that she "Banned Rape" as the HEADLINE of the article suggests is bullshit. This was in no way the banning of rape. She just didn't want her sailors raping the captives when they should be pillaging and plundering and taking as yet more captives.

So....

So Cheng I Sao's pirates required a permission slip before getting down, under penalty of death. Those who disobeyed, or employed the use of force against a woman without permission, were executed on the spot.

Yah, I had this revelation (probably isn't in-all-likelihood-is-not a revelation to black women) while walking one night. I was wondering about the womanist movement and people's reactions to feminism (how the word engenders negative feelings in people). Somehow, it just suddenly occurred to me that "feminism" still

Mac and Cheese and Fried Chicken aren't regional. That is nation wide. As far as Coconut cake, none of my aunts (all southerners) ever made it: it was always chocolate cake. The only two coconut cakes I ever had were from my Illinois aunts on my dads side (who suck, but for more reasons than coconut cake).

Yes, please. I can't see the image at work either (AM AN OLD). What the hell is Taco Bae?

We keep pushing back the age when people are supposed to mature. Like, 20 years ago 18 was considered almost there, and by 22 you were an adult. Now, we have freaking 25-28 year old celebs acting like children. Hell we have 25 year old NORMAL people acting like children. En masse.

like, Chris just totally doesn't deserve Rihanna, ya know?

Wait what? Do you have a link to this comment?

God, there's probably coconut in it, huh?

Psssh. You are downright ELDERLY. Its time for you to start making ugly sweaters to give to people as genuine gifts.

Thing is, THAT IS EXACTLY WHY you should be asking white people about race. Everyone knows how black people feel about Eric Garner and Michael Brown. Nothing is in doubt there.

It's ironic how the article mentions the so-called "Third Wave" of feminism and how Cosmo adapted, at an event so dominated by white women. They had Gabrielle Union. One woman of color, great. Good job. That is progress. *sarcasm*

...... so I just now realized that "Australian" and "Jewish" are not exclusive concepts.
