I love that when white males feel disenfranchised to the point of drug use and suicide, it’s an epidemic and we should reach out and help. Minorities have been purposely and systematically abandoned and blocked from progressing for centuries, and have still thrived in spite of that. When some minorities have faced a…

Fair point. I’m not even a fan of his aesthetic (I hate those overexposed, everyone looks wet Terry Richardson glamour ads, and always thought Gucci was overrated), but he does have a strong creative eye. I think his prices are accepted because he’s successfully packaged himself as a “glamor lifestyle brand.” I think…

Totally. Alexander Wang and Proenza Schouler are two others that are youngins putting out more beautiful designs than many legacy houses. Just depends on the level of detail and quality.

Yeah, but he was creative director of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent for decades, and revitalized those houses before getting his namesake line. Agree the price point is a bit high when compared to a Prada or Lanvin, but he has a solid body of work.

I agree. I was a retail manager for years and would have to handle situations like this a few times a week, mostly from well groomed women. That’s a lot of mentally ill middle class people out shopping ha. More like a combo of entitlement, delusion, and persecution complex.

Like how what constitutes sexual harassment and assault keeps being diluted. Reaching up a woman’s skirt and grabbing her privates at a bar? That’s just him hitting on you! People’s desperation to block out the awful truth is astounding.

Of course we can. I’ll be at the march in January, just like Ive been at many protests and marches, some of which made changes, some of which were fruitless. My original point was, no matter how much empathy and understanding you have for someone or a group who seeks to keep you subjected, at the end of the day that…

Ah yes, the old “victim mentality” argument. I also went to college and know many successful black people, it doesn’t change the fact that racism exists and there are far more obstacles for minorities. Being successful doesn’t shield you from being followed in stores, being told you’re articulate for a black person,…

Yeah that’s also rooted in insecurity, but I was referring to the original conversation about men feeling like they have to be the provider/breadwinner, and if they don’t feel “male” enough they get resentful of the woman for going above her station as the “feminine” one (i.e. needs to be taken care of/not ambitious)…

I agree. White women who benefit from a patriarchal system, women like Paris Hilton and Melania Trump. Because if you dare to be in opposition to a system made for men, by men, you have an almost impossible time surviving. I’ve been sexually harassed out of enough jobs and shut down in my career enough to know that if…

Yeah, that resistance is like the hatred and push back that progressive whites got for helping with the Civil Rights Movement. When Ruby Bridges became the first black child to go to a white school, white families who refused to pull their kids out due to her presence received horrible harassment and death threats.…

I definitely agree with you about resistance from other comfortable men being a road block for woke men. I’ve had this happen in my personal life with guy friends and boyfriends who I thought were more progressive or even “male feminists.” Just one example: one ex who was an environmental conservationist, millenial,…

I think the awfulness inflicted by men for thousands of years specified in this article perfectly demonstrates why Trump is President. If most men really wanted equality they would be along side women making it happen since they have more power, not shrugging when men like Trump berate women’s looks or endanger us…

Watch “The Mask I Live In” on Netflix. Documentary that goes in depth on what you’re saying. Of course when fathers are absent assholes and mom steps in to try to raise sensitive, aware men, mom gets rebelled against and still blamed. So men need to get it together and fix their problem, like how women have gotten it…

Right, like how girls can’t play with the boys cause, duh, girls have cooties.

Like my entire family before me having to keep their heads up, be polite, be respectful, do well in school and jobs etc while their homes are vandalized, my mother violently tossed out of a shopping center at age six for drinking out of the white fountain. But don’t dare call out obvious bigotry or demand change, or…

He’s a rich hetero white guy. He’s what the forgotten working class aspire to be. Outrage and responsibility are reserved for lessers (Browns, women, non white poors, and gays)

Riiight, the presidential family wears J Crew, but Milania Trump wears a $1000 hot pink blouse and it’s fine. Most Americans couldn’t afford Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, or Ann Romney’s wardrobes which were definitely not on the level of J Crew. How dare the black presidential family wear anything above Walmart or…

Just rewatched Idiocracy recently. Terrifyingly accurate depiction of societal regression and fear/distrust of knowledge. These people want to stay ignorant, anything else is too much work. This is the country that calls Kim Kardashian a “business woman.” Laziness and ignorance covered up by bravado is championed…

There was an article, I think in New York Times, about this clustering. It’s complex because even if you know there are some good people in these areas, if you are liberal, smart, and forward thinking there are very few opportunities or solid backing to change things positively. The article interviewed a young woman…
