Not to disagree with your overall point, I don't see her lyrics as "universalizing and idealizing those traditional gender roles." What a lot of people don't get is that a lot of her music is actually very conscious of her position as a black woman. In the US, BW didn't get to be the housewives. They had no choice but…

Those comments are disgusting and unprofessional on her part. Please report her to HR, but in the meantime be well and congratulations on your pregnancy.

Here's my favorite new cartoon kitty gif:

Hey, LaComtesse, I know this is weird to just randomly respond to you on a Jez comment, but I don't have GT posting privileges and I was just MORTIFIED in a meeting where my female boss (the president of the company, also, is French and therefore thinks its ok to point out fat Americans) told me that just because I'm…

If you're the CEO of a company and your presence is damaging the product, you were likely forced out. Your CEO should not be damaging your brand and if his ongoing presence just continues to damage it, well, you don't care about the business.

I'm replying to you, but also kind of to everyone in this thread that is missing the point dramatically basically due to a very simplistic way of looking at both feminism and the lgbt community. I'm not meaning to sound aggressive, but in an effort to be efficient, I'm going to number my points and my comment is going…

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I did a fair amount of oat-sowing my freshman year of college. The school wasn't known for its diversity, and I was one of the few black girls on campus. Since I stuck out like a sore thumb, most of my hookups were followed by a fair deal of boasting and gossip. Depending on your gender, I was commonly referred to as…

You all are so mean. I responded to this ad and this gentleman was fantastic. Sure, he "murdered" me, and now I'm a "ghost" speaking to you from "beyond the grave". But before he stabbed me 30 or 40 times(I know-you were expecting death by gun, weren't you??! he's full of romantic surprises like that). But back to…

Color photography - people of color, you'd think we were a match made in heaven. Apparently not.

Ok. Keep on fighting for the right to cut babies dicks. Really strange to be so on board something like that, but I'm not going to change your mind. I'm just going to think you are some weird perv and give you side eye.

When I lived in Eastern Europe, I "made a friend," who was horrified when I explained (in broken Eastern European-ese) that, "In America, we don't have these." The look on his face was akin to that if someone had said to an American, "in my country, we cut our ears off."

"half of all uncircumcised males will, over the course of their lifetime, develop some kind of medical issue related to their foreskin"? That's the most bullshit bullshit ever to have been bullshitted.

Stop buying into the propaganda. Europe has extremely low levels of circumcision and no increase of HPV or HIV is apparent. It's a very, very dubious study. In fact not that dissimilar from that research claiming vaccinations give kids autism. Go read more reports and then make your decision.

Please take this information with a grain of salt. Even the American Pediatric Association's official stance is "There's no particularly compelling reason to do this across the board."

I find it hugely problematic that any feminist would support such an act that is undertaken entirely without consent. The above research sure appears to be pushing the circumcision agenda. Europe has very low levels of circumcision yet does not have increased levels of HIV or HPV.
