delete b/c I've lost the entire thread of this convo and don't care to parse it out.

The issue is with white males not wanting Asian males as "competition", which is why Asian guys got no pussy for the longest time.

I was so happy when these dolls came out because they looked like school age girls-for a while it was baby dolls or Barbie, no in-between. Also, they were excellent quality . So I saved up and bought one for my daughter. The other day I picked up one at Goodwill marked $5.00-a few black marker lines behind ear-but…

While that's a disappointment, it's their prerogative to set the rules for membership if they're a private organization. And I was glad that my women's only gym enjoyed the same prerogative. Yes, the reasons are different, but we have to be okay with private organizations doing things for whatever reasons they please…

I am actually perfectly fine with guys having dudes-only clubs. I belong to a women's club myself. The only objections are when the group is used widely for professional networking, as a lot of the old-timey golf clubs were. I am not sure this place would count.

How does "Being a feminist" equate to supporting a woman actively engaging in affair with a married man, while blindsiding the wife?

I'm basically you. And yes, I've lost people for that, but I don't think they were true friendships after all. I would want people close to me to call me on my shit, too. Not that I go out of my way to act like shit, though.

I had a friend who was having relations with a guy who had a girlfriend and had a child with her. I basically told her that what she's doing is wrong and asked her not to talk to me about this "gentleman" ever again (because sometimes she would tell me how much he makes her feel good and I would be rolling my eyes in…

"A judgmental friend isn't going to help her rewrite her moral code." - So, people should not point out to their friends that it is wrong to make racist / anti-gay / misogynistic comments towards / about other people if / when they do so?

The only other one I can think of is Tim Kang as Kimball Cho on The Mentalist, who gets a fair amount of action. His character's had at least two girlfriends in the show.

"He took vows. She never took vows. e" Yes, which like I said makes him shittier. You're capable of making absolute moral judgments there, but you're not making one in her case.

This is something that we SHOULD be judgmental of though! A person who knowingly dates a married person whose spouse is completely unaware is selfish and deserves to be called out on it.

That's a real weird moral hair splitting game

I went through this. Best friend survived some shitty life experiences, and her behavior changed, and one of those changes was that she became a serial "other woman". I wasn't okay with it — for the reasons you mention, and also because I don't support the concept that being an "accomplice" in someone else's breach…

My mom had lunch (when she was 7 months pregnant, high risk pregnancy too) with the woman my dad was cheating on her with. She asked her to please leave the situation and let her and my dad finish the pregnancy. My mom told her, if they split up after that, whatever. What's done is done.

But it was your responsibility to determine that "what HE was doing was wrong!" So you can determine his moral code, but not hers?

That's not true, they aren't going to ban a child from coming in because she has a rip-off. If anything that's a possible new buyer standing right there. Don't publish made up info. because you're bitter about a doll.

My grandmother and her little sister played with one of those dolls. Here's a picture of them taken back in 1924 with one.

Whoa, not true there! My daughter recently attended a party at American Girl. Guests are encouraged to bring their own dolls, but there ARE dolls loaned to anyone who forgets or doesn't have one. No one is made to feel badly, and the party itself was adorable. I'm sure it was crazy expensive, but the girls all had a…

I was OBSESSED with the Kirsten series as a child but my family was too poor to ever even think about buying me one of the dolls. The closest I ever got to one was wistfully looking at the catalogs. I was so SO happy when I read that the New York Public Library was lending out the dolls. I live on the west coast but…
