Yeah, sure.

Outsized? How, exactly? I think it’s proportionate. I actually think it didn’t go far enough.

Hey now! Pepsi was trying to get people to “join the conversation.” Which conversation is unknown, but you can be damn sure the masses were confused about how to communicate their frustrations before this commercial.

Smarting. Yes. Traumatized? Come the FUCK on.

Can you imagine the kind of pain that not even jetting off to Paris at a moments notice can solve???

Nobody experiences anything anymore unless it’s in the absolute and superlative form.
We are ruled by our noisiest authorities.

The entirety of her being was raised into building a brand around herself. Her only self worth is her brand and now it’s seemingly very publicly damaged. So of course she’s freaking instead of doing the smart thing and realzing where she went wrong and correcting her missteps. It’s how she was raised and understands…

I imagine that when you belong to the kind of shallow, narcissistic world that the Kardashian clan has built for themselves then the smallest bit of criticism must be really hard to take.

Sometimes when I see ridiculous commercials, I try to imagine what that pitch meeting must have been like, and I feel like the phrase “protest is the new brunch” was uttered in this one.

I recently read the book before I started the series and I REALLY, REALLY wish they had explored the classism of Celeste’s storyline like they did in the book.

I think that making excuses for the racist Trump supporters needs to stop.

How about repeal and replace the GOP? Every last one of them.

To all the moronic fuckers who either actively wanted/turned a blind eye to this racist, sexist, xenophobic, and downright vile piece of shit because “he was a strong leader”. Look at your strongman President now, running like the fucking coward he is, unable to get his own Party to vote against the ACA which they…

Do you understand the kind of brainwashing that woman has been subject to for her entire life? People in Quiverfull circles actually think that divorce is worse than murder. She’s under incredible pressure from both sides of the family to “forgive” him. And since she’s probably been homeschooled her entire life until…

They are expecting their fifth child. *barfing*

Exactly this. I just keep thinking, “Now his supporters get to say that he pays his taxes.” I feel like it did way more harm than good.

Yeah, I agree. I think the biggest problem I saw with her statement (and I should say I’m not trans, so my perspective is limited here) was the fact that she shied away from outright saying that trans women are women. The implication being that trans women don’t fall into the larger group “women,” but rather than…

This whole conversation has been incredibly illuminating for me, because while I agree that transwomen are women, I didn’t see anything wrong with Chiamanda insisting that the experiences are different, although the language she uses undermines her point (she’s gaslighting like the author says, refusing to acknowledge…

I actually can’t think of any famous trans person whose present​ation doesn’t align with the societal norms of the gender they identify with. Maybe it’s strategic or easier to put forth Laverne Cox as opposed to Jenny who used to be Jimmy and still looks like a “guy”. However it gives the impression that being a woman…

What makes you a woman or a man? If it’s not genetics, or the way society treats you, is it a gut feeling that it’s what you are? When you look at people like Kaitlynn Jenner (not the representative of all trans women) who speak about make up and high heels as being the essence of woman hood, it makes me wonder if…
