Again, no one is saying that black people and hip-hop artists are the only ones who have love for a big ass. The issue is that the white majority has laughed at and demeaned us for years and now wow, suddenly asses are awesome because white women have discovered twerking. That's pathetic.

Well, I think a good start would be to call those items/dances/words what the original culture calls them, and not act like it's suddenly amazing or edgy because white people finally realized it exists. It's a durag, not an "urban tie cap." That's what pisses off black people (and other POC) the most, to be honest:…

I can't speak for Chinese people, but as far as the whole "embracing American culture in other countries" thing goes, well. Pretty sure that the U.S.'s history of settler colonialism and exploitation complicates things a bit. America has kinda forced shit down other cultures' throats for some time now; They don't…

Oh God. I used to spend long periods of times staring at photos of unattractive men because I hoped that eventually, I could "train" myself to be attracted to them. If only it worked.

I'm at the Who Gives A Shit point in my online dating experience where I send flirtatious messages to men waaaaay out of my league just for shits and giggles. But they never respond anyway, which proves my hypothesis, BUT it makes me feel like a superhero without any risk of rejection so... score?

I don't know why people are being so obtuse about this.

I thought the whole issue with the Spider Woman cover (besides the anatomical issue) was the fact that super heroines are sexualized in a way that superheroes are not. Last time I checked, Nicki Minaj is not a superhero.

I thought they sprayed the shit out of every crop with pesticides? How do those hellish things come out of the box alive?

Same here. I'm one of the privileged(?) women who are blessed with invisibility. I'm just attractive/normative enough to escape violent hostility from men, but just undesirable enough that they're not knocking down any doors to get to me either. I browse online dating sites when I'm feeling bored but I'm not really…

Which I get, but as far as I know Hillary Crosley is black, so I still have no idea what the OP is talking about.

I thought "shade" was AAVE, how is that co-opting anything?

I haven't joined the workforce quite yet (dreading it every minute), but this is pretty much how I felt about college. Lectures are a joke. There is no reason to require me to be in my seat for six hours a week when I can miss a month and still get an A.

Yes, agreed. I don't personally want children and never have, but I wonder how many of these parents would've have a better experience if they had better support systems. I don't see this as millennial selfish entitlement at all - I see it as a symptom of widespread systematic failure. It truly takes a village.

I have to co-sign the other commenter... I think it's unfair to say someone is not worthy of being a parent if they say they'd rather have a child without disabilities. There are children who are born with fatal disorders that mean they will live short lives filled with pain. No one WANTS that for their kid. It's…

Personally, I think morality comes from empathy - if I don't like being punched in the face, how the hell can I justify doing it to someone else - so maybe that fits with the whole "middle ground" theory you're talking about. Most of the Christians I know are perfectly reasonable regarding other religious…

I'm going to go out on a limb and say zero. There are a lot more white families looking to adopt than black ones, so it would stand to reason that any of the so-very-prized white children would go to white parents rather than non-white. Fewer white babies born, too.

UGH, same. I don't care if psychologists don't recognize it as legit - trypophobia is totally a thing. Now excuse me while I go scrub all my skin off.

Wow, that's so obtuse. Their transgender status is irrelevant - the story isn't that he or she is trans - it's the fact that they murdered a kid. If it doesn't matter, don't put it in the story. That's Journalism 101. The fact that Dr. V committed academic fraud is relevant, her transgender status is not. The author…

Sure, him finding out she was trans was probably inevitable... but why did he have to out her to an investor? That is not ethical journalism. He fucked up not in pursuing her identifying information, but in what he did with it.

I just discovered that you can download internet plug-ins to bypass these! And they actually work. So, you know. Google. :P
