In the most neutral possible way to say this, every time I read a Tracy Moore article (that isn't about motherhood), I can't help but think she must be incredibly beautiful and was incredibly popular growing up, and was never teased or ridiculed or made to feel bad about herself ever.

because pants are for boys, heathen.

I agree that you shouldn't put down women who straighten their hair, but I think it is also fair and good to lament the overall lack of visible black women in the media who do NOT straighten their hair or use weaves.

I mean the takeaway that I always took from Good Hair is not "these people are doing a bad thing and…

I guess you get a really deep vagina? Yay? o_O

Kschang, I want to add to your statement that dowry is illegal in India. And I think by saying "it was NOT unusual until recently to have the new bride killed" that that belies the experience of the majority of Indians. India is diverse in culture and it does often depend on state or region what experiences you will…

Or a "Women get to worship from outside" rule will join it.

How long until the pastor himself is checking each woman personally to see whether they deserve these "grave consequences"?

Oh please. I've been nursing a swoon-style crush on this man for at least the last twelve years.

Dear Susan,
You're a relic of a bygone age dishing out advice to a generation you don't know or understand. Your book is an attempt to justify your life choices, even though your marriage didn't work out. (Shockingly.)

Do you have a recommendation for an airline credit card that gets you the most bang for your buck? I''d like to explore that too.

Hmm...that's interesting. But I'd say a bit far-fetched. What sort of study was this? I'd like to read about this if you have any links.

Honestly, I don't care if she's tokenized. Remember that when Brown v Board of Education broke and little Linda Brown was told she was going to an integrated school, she too was a token. Eventually, when enough tokens have entered the system, the tokens become standard currency. Based on the depth of her acting and…

I think these are really good points. I didn't grow up in a situation where I was the "only one" but I do feel I ended up socializing very early with a lot of people that weren't of my ethnic background. Most of the guys I've dated have been white, and its not part of some internalized self-hate or disdain for my own…

I'll bet Mindy is real embarrassed about it. Oh what's that? She can't hear you over the sound of money rustling?

Flesh colored is the best...those people who are inside out are icky.

I do want to know, but also I don't.

Sames. These women aren't models but I feel like the only thing keeping them out of the realm is age. They are very striking.

Wow thanks for the inspiring post. I guess the rest of us are losers since you've obviously won marriage?

I've seen a lot of debt reduction tactics on this website and this is by far the best one. Paying off the highest interest debt first is the BEST way to pay down your debt in the shortest amount of time. The whole "I feel so overwhelmed and wah wah wah" BS people talk about "small wins" "it gives me confidence" is…
