After seeing what friends have gone through in custody battles with abusive men, I find that myth bizarre. It seems like the courts will go to great lengths to preserve a father’s access to a child, even if that father is abusive to the child and/or mother, and is using the legal process as a way to manipulate the…

Sorry, no, this is absolute horseshit.

You are correct. Women usually have custody because men usually don’t seek custody. It becomes a whole confirmation bias thing. When men seek custody they are virtually equally as likely to win as a woman. They just don’t even try to get it. Now that’s usually shared custody. To have a parent of either sex fully lose…

I am sorry that your friend is having problems, but Slut Panic is right.

I could be wrong but I remember reading that courts don’t favor mothers in cases where fathers fight for custody. Most fathers don’t fight for full custody.

So many people seem to be missing the bigger point. We understand that Africans and the black diaspora come in various shades. The point is light skinned women and biracials have become the face of mono racial black women. Light skinned women in film are the rule rather than the exception which is what makes Black…

And yet these same people were weirdly *eyeroll* silent on the pale, white skinned/light green eyed girl playing the main character with described as having “black hair, grey eyes and olive skin.”

You are of course correct, and I apologize for the generalization. I would’ve written “pure Wakandan,” but it seemed ridiculous in reference to a fictional place.

Excellent article. One thing though, Rue was not described as blue eyed and blond haired in The Hunger Games. She was described as reminding Katniss almost exactly of her younger, blue eyed blonde sister, EXCEPT for her “dark brown skin and eyes”. Katniss also innnocently says her dark hair resembles moss. So she’s…

Good for her from the perspective of fighting colorism, especially given that Wakanda is meant to be an untouched, thoroughly sub-Saharan country. She would have been visibly out of place.

Oh my god when did this happen and how did I miss it?

And here’s your cowardly proof...

Of all the horseshit he and this administration have asked me to believe, this takes the cake.

So you respond to his homophobic shit by headlining your article with a homophobic, gay baiting slur?

Btw, just google “ethnic hair”, in case you still want to believe that White Norwegian hair qualifies as ethnic.

Um, context.

“women are sacred” is only a call to go back to a point where women weren’t allowed to do much. We know that throughout history, women were never viewed as “sacred” let alone people with equal standing.

Poor General Kelly.

In private, Porter reportedly told acquaintances that Holderness’s black eye—photographs of which were published earlier this week—was the result of an argument over a vase. During the argument, the vase somehow managed to hit Holderness in the face, leaving a black eye.
