First thing I thought. She’s doing the coy, cutesy thing. Flutter your lashes, ‘accidentally’ show some leg and sit in a way that emphasizes how totally harmless and non-threatening you are while managing to subtly twisting the surrounding men to your will. At least that’s what I imagine her thinking. In reality she…

I think that this is what makes some white people so uncomfortable and angry with the movie. It’s a reality that they either honestly don’t understand or like to pretend does not exist. It’s showing that racism is more than just Neo Nazis and the KKK. The racism here isn’t bombastic or cartoonish. The story isn’t an…

I’m so sick of this. It seems that way because you refuse to look any deeper than that and only look for the views that support your already very narrow view of what feminism is and isn’t. And yet you still benefit from the core feminist value that your gender does not limit your role in society. You still take…

Right. I can’t be a racist. I would never burn a cross or lynch somebody. But those people need to learn how to act. What do they expect when they dress/act like that?

People are capable of amazing mental gymnastics when it comes to protecting people they care about. I doubt she would care one way or the other men falsely accused of rape if she wasn’t caught up in proclaiming the innocence of her man.

I’m sure I’d be pissed off is kids decided to short cut their way across my yard all of the time even after I’d told them not to. Kids are frequently disrespectful little fuckers. However getting into a physical confrontation and firing a gun is over the top, dangerous and irresponsible. Is protecting your property…

Waiting lists only work if people are willing to wait especially if the wait is going to be more than a couple of months. If this had been a larger or more well known company, customers might have been more willing to wait. People do get on waiting lists for designer bags and high end cosmetics. But this was a small…

It sounds like they were having some problems even before this. They may not have the money or resources to get more product out there. Even if they had been able to build up the inventory, with some trends people want their items right now, not 6 months to a year later when fashion has moved on. There would have been…

It’s so bizarre. I’ve known women who became penpals with guys in jail for the purpose of eventually marrying them. A couple were very much into the idea of ‘saving’ someone but I just couldn’t wrap my head around the idea of purposely chasing after someone that you know has committed heinous acts.

Unfortunately people don’t like things to be that simple. For me feminism is about having the freedom to choose who you want to be rather than being forced into a particular box because of your gender, race, religion or sexual identity. It’s about equality.

Not only did he relish it, he has a fanbase that laps it up. He’s never had to face really significant repercussions for his behavior.

Fame, money, and charisma can make assholes very attractive. Unfortunately I think Chris Brown has a fanbase full of women willing to deal with him and his abuse.

If you’re saying she’s at fault for the abuse or deserved it, then yeah that’s wrong and judgmental. But it’s legitimate to question a person who chooses to date someone who has a history of abuse. It’s one thing to be in an abusive relationship when you had no real prior warning that the person would become abusive -…

I have a client who is here legally on a student visa. He’s been trying for years to become a citizen but can’t afford to complete the process because he’s a student working part time. He has the opportunity to take a job in Texas at a company that would help with becoming a legal citizen. He’s now afraid to fly there…

I think it’s always been there lurking under the surface but in the U.S. it was essentially overshadowed by larger institutional racism against black people, Native Americans, and now Latinos. It seems like the current upswing in overt racism and xenophobia has brought it back out of the shadows.

But they’re not the right kind of white i.e. Christian. Anti-semitism is a perfect storm of racial and religious bigotry with a heaping dash of nationalist xenophobia and conspiracy theorist craziness.

The whole failure to make basic connections is just baffling to me. It’s like they’re purposing skipping over the fact that the more people who choose not to vaccinate, the weaker herd immunity becomes. By choosing not to vaccinate, they’re already part of the problem. When they encourage other people not to…

Glad your dad is doing okay. My husband just got out of the hospital after a bout of the flu. It triggered his asthma which then lead to him hyperventilating. And he had the flu shot. If his immune system had been weaker, he would have been a lot worse off. A lot of people don’t seem to understand how dangerous the…

It would make way more sense to work on streamlining the immigration process for people like Rayos who have been here for years, who have lives here, and who are productive members of society. I get that what she did was wrong. She should be fined for that or placed on probation. Deporting her serves no purpose other…

Those images are certainly going to stay with me. Just one more reason for me to stick with collecting Barbie dolls.
