Why are you comparing Azealia Banks with Amandla Stenberg? It seems kind of random to pull to celebrities out of the universe like that.

In any case, Azealia Banks, who’s built her brand as a provocateur, made homophobic remarks before her beef with Iggy Azalea. Before that people didn’t know her at all, they just…

Yeah, Rekia Boyd’s death and the subsequent verdict, as well as the judge’s explanation are ridiculous and sad.

She’s got “the popcorn waiting.” It’s so weird and antagonistic and personal at the same time.

why do you think that?

Perhaps the experience lends itself to seeing the world with a wider lens.

This seems to be difficult for you, but she brought up her previous experience in education as it applies to dress codes in schools.

You injected both irrelevant and incorrect assumptions about her character, profession, and abilities, which she then responded to. Night.

It’s not like they’re not allowed to buy their own lunch..

the end.

Not sure what you’re responding to, but again you brought up an individual’s character, ability, and profession, and that person responded accordingly. She didn’t bring up her background in the rest of the thread because no one but you made assumptions about it.

Why are you answering my question with a question, and what hypothetical are you referring to? Commenter LucilleTwoSteps mentioned “we make these clothes and tell [women] to wear them”; isn’t that the heart of the issue?

And the question still stands: Why are we making gender designations based on what’s sold at Target?

not at school if it’s against the dresscode.

But you are the one who started with assumptions on Milo’s character and profession, so Milo was providing clarification for your sake.

Not surprising that the civil rights lawyer has a more nuanced understanding of gender binaries than you do.

I mean, feel free to answer the question, rather than deflecting it.

Well it seems we’re addressing the wrong part of the problem then. In early part of your statement: “we make these clothes and tell [women] to wear them.”

I agree with MiloMinderbender’s concern above:

Why do you think it is not currently a viable option for boys? Genuinely curious.

I don’t mean to quibble; I just don’t understand what is so fundamentally feminine about spaghetti straps.

So then the solution is to get Target to stop selling spaghetti straps in the girls’ section?

To be fair, I’m sure boys can’t wear spaghetti straps either.

What’s the fundamental source of their conflict in the first place?
