It’s pretty humiliating. But remember, Donald Trump is going to be sworn in as POTUS in a few weeks.

Yes, because shockingly she’s the same person in private as she’s in public

And we have an extremely talented actress on the one hand, and a kinda-sorta-used up C lister on the other. It’s not as if it’s hard to figure out which of the two is milking the situation for attention and clicks.

In the comics, Swinton’s character is a stereotypical “wise Asian” character, which many people find offensive. Rewriting that role as a white woman removes that, and creates a role for a woman. And then, they wrote a new Asian role and cast an Asian actor. No Asian actors lost work, a role for a woman was created, a…

Is The Ancient One no longer Tibetan in the Dr. Strange movie?

I’m guessing that Cho doesn’t understand why a lot of people are pissed at her. It has nothing to do with her feelings that Asian actors should play Asian roles, which is completely valid. Everyone’s pissed because she took what was supposed to be a private conversation, twisted it into the worst possible…

Dumb. She isn’t American. I’m sick of people screaming racist for someone who both had no hand in rewriting (or casting) the character, nor someone who experienced racism as we might

Lol I always thought the only thing ethereal about her was how paper-white she is.

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use…

i've never commented before, and I feel weirdly shy typing this out, but I just want to say....

Love your story. It really makes me happy the transformation you went through, I pretty much went through the same thing.

There's nothing wrong with lesbianism nor is there anything wrong with bra burning. But of course the side that is most repulsed by them/ served least would give them such horrible, negative connotations. There is absolutely nothing bad about either, like all subgroups, minorities, they simply exist alongside each…

Ehh, it's important to vocalize discontent when shit is fucked up. Not getting paid as much as your male counterpart who has less experience? That requires a complaint. Prosecutor refuses to take rape victims seriously because of what they were wearing? Please complain. You can't just "positive energy" your way…

I just realized that my post is heteronormative. It should say "choose their own partner." Sorry 'bout that.

I am one of those WoC you're referring to. If other self-proclaimed white feminists displayed half as much introspection and thoughtfulness as you just did in this post, we'd be having a different conversation now. But unfortunately I think they're just going to keep self-righteously proclaiming everyone else…

Sad so many women would want to distance themselves from this word, especially since I was one of them once and understand their flawed reasoning very well.

I don't agree with every Democrat out there, but I'd still call myself one. Most of these explanations strike me as cowardly. If we started owning feminism as a positive, multi-faceted movement, maybe then others would stop associating it with "bra-burning lesbianism". And by the way, which half of the population is…

I think it's important to look a bit beyond at what these women are saying. Yes, it's misguided, but they are all public figures that perpetuate the notion that "feminist" means "white, middle class, possibly lesbian, woman who is angry, hates men, wants equality at the expense of others". So those of us who *do*…

Well, some of them are articulating pretty ignorant concepts of what feminism means. Like the implications that it's nothing but complaining and being angry and not actually doing anything. If strong, powerful women are out there in society propagating those stereotypes, don't you think it hurts women who DO choose to…
