Are you for real? It wasn't just a discussion about her ass for shock and awe, it was an opportunity (christ, a plea!) for her to not just shake her ass, but to talk about the intention behind it, to discuss her empowerment and use of sexuality in modern society... but she had nothing. How the hell is it slut shaming…

Dear la times

I hate that as I am nearing the end of my twenties, my bubble of "people are just ignorant because they don't know better! They'll be better once they understand!" is popping and transforming into, "Nope. People just don't want to know better."

Fund a female. Not woman. Female. I fund a female cat. We met on Whiskr.

This is more eloquent than my reaction, which was this:

Sexism is a whole different beast when it's crossed with racism. The ugliness of sexism is real and oppressive but the intersectionality of sexism and racism is intolerable. In Canada, it is First Nations women who bear the weight of this cross.

I may have exaggerated the extent of my romantic involvement with Idris Elba.

here's a novel idea if you don't want to be called a rapist don't rape people.

Jeez, the only way this article could be whiter is if they left the page blank.

But remember, black people are the ones with a penchant for theft.

he teachers are, obviously, mostly white women. But the movement they are supporting is not even close to being female-led. Your original comment seemed to miss some of the overall context, is all.

Thank you for highlighting this. The thing that struck me most about the 1863 draft riots in NYC was the burning and looting of the colored orphanage —- white mothers stole toys and clothing for their own kids as black children burned. Yes there is a correlation between institutional racism of public schools and the…

A larger phenomenon that is not just white men. Plenty of comments on the Darrin Wilson fundraisers were white women, plenty of people at the "protests" in favor of were too.

I do. I also know how defensive white women get when you point out their unique role within systems of oppression. I'm not trolling here, I'm mentioning this because I feel it's important to this particular story. As someone else so politely pointed out, teachers are largely female, and the school system in the US…

I've posted about this before, but when judging a science fair in Mississippi, I was told on more than one occasion 'Look how good this poster is and (in a whisper) she's black'. The expectations are completely different for children of color. I also work with a guy who has his kids in public school around here and…

Well, seeing as schools are kinda the essential step of the School-to-Prison pipeline, I'm not all that shocked that teachers feel the need alienate and intimidate their students, especially those of color. Call me when teachers start to give a shit about their students again.

At least she died doing what she loved.

I honestly think it looks cute and while I might have later come to the realization that it looked like a concentration camp shirt I don't think that would have been my initial reaction to it. My initial reaction was that it was some sort of "western sheriff" thing. The star looks like a sheriff's badge from the old…

Here, this is my first Kinja post and I am a long time reader, who is shy and does not like to partake in internet comments. But I cannot let you trash talk Tim Hortons like this. My darling Tim Hortons is superior to all other food chains, in that it is cheap and mildly flavourful. The post-coffee stomach cramps are…
