LOL! 

1)Why, yes, I lived in France for 5 years. I worked for the UN and lived in Paris and Tours.

1) People like your Dad remind me of the goodness in this country.

Ouch. but somebody had to say it!

1) When that whole ‘French Women Don’t Get Fat’ nonsense started, I - and many others- called BS on it. Certain classes of women in France, from the time they are mere little girls, have their diets and appetites policed and shamed. They are not satisfied with a crust of baguette and butter,, they don’t have superb…

It really isn’t a joke: from the time they are LITTLE, French girls’ appetites are policed and shamed.

“and both Sanders and Warren have to overcome the perception among primary voters that Trump can only be beaten with an ardently centrist Democrat at the top of the ticket in November”

Dr. Ben Carson is a shining example of how so many brothers in our community will literally turn around and hurt the most vulnerable of us, in the search for White legitimacy. He was already a brain surgeon (!)- who made it because so many people banded together to give him a chance.

Best comment of the goddamn year, for real.

Yup- like many women, she is mortal and imperfect. Yes, she’s very beautiful and elegant- but imperfect!

Not just English, but a number of European languages-French, German, Italian, Spanish*- were given ‘rules’ not just to ‘clean up’ the language but to also establish a ‘national identity’. Until relatively recently, people spoke Welsh, Cornish and Occitan, despite being in Great Britain and France.

Christ, I forgot about Jameela’s condition.

1)Before The Good Place, Jameela Jamil was an actual, honest to God journalist. She not only knows what the heck she is talking about, but has researched the issues IN DEPTH. If she is putting this stuff out as a discovery to her audience, THAT’S A GOOD THING. That allows her audience to ‘go along’ with her and maybe…

Her thoughts are her own, but they are not honest; they are snipey and dismissive. It’s Mean Girls criticism.

Were you here during the 2016 elections? Boy oh boyoo, it was bad, and there was the shock that participating in media driven sexism would backlash on them. Oy.

Jesus, thank you for this. I read that and thought “Did this person literally call a dark brown Indian actress who has been amplifying womanism, queer people and body acceptance a WHITE FEMINIST?”

And they survived!

I think this is a good trend, as hair can dull guillotine blades. 

Yup! Because they are fundamentally the same person. If you notice, Jonathan and Drew, despite dressing differently and the slight difference in height and weight, also mirror each other in speech patterns and body movements.

Oh, okay! Thank you for this. Zooey is awesome; I was just really confused!
