That’s because it doesn’t. Did you even read my comment?

But there’s always someone like you in the comments crying “what about the mennnz”

I don’t have any problem with her viewing HER rape through that lens... and sometimes acknowledging how you got to be in a certain situation can be empowering. By taking the blame she’s kind of denying the rapist agency.

I just would like to say that the original comment seems to be particularly vicious and doesn’t really seem to be about how white women benefit from racism without realizing it, but about how much the OP hates white women.

Uuuugh. I’m going to be a pedant and say that “brava” is the feminine version of “bravo.”

I got the last 4 bars of the soprano line of Mozart piece I sang/loved from my ribs and around my hip bone. I still like the idea of it... and it looked really good... when I was still skinny and didn’t have stretch marks from a **failed** pregnancy.

I’m OK with fashion snarking at the Oscars as long as body shaming stays out of it.

Bouillabaisse has shellfish!?

Look up “long pig” and you’ll know why some people are too disgusted to eat pork.

Just so you know, I’m sure you don’t intend it this way, but saying “I’m not a feminist, I’m an EGALITARIAN” is something men’s rights apologists do to dismiss feminism as something that’s no longer relevant.

Hahaha. I just wasn’t entirely sure if it was supposed to be a “the french are cowards” joke or something else...

Huh? I’m American.

Morsel?

I am more than happy if Tom wants to lead the way in correcting the imbalance.
