Yes. Just posted this sentiment.

Like how African Americans absolutely needed white allies in powerful positions during the Civil Rights Movement and white allies during the Underground Railroad. No one was saying black people were too weak to stand for themselves. We’d been standing and fighting for ourselves for decades, but integrating the schools

Nope. I am black and know the deal with acting “respectfully” with police/white people etc. No matter how polite you are, you aren’t going to change a racist persons perception of you. That’s the point. Men like Harvey don’t see any boundaries, even when they were clearly set. The black people who acted responsibly in

Just posted something similar. Even if you can’t see any hint of curves, boys have always imagined and fantasized about what’s underneath. As stated in this piece, its men’s issue/problem, not ours as “stumbling blocks.” Why do so many assaults still happen within these strict communities with all this segregating of

Exactly. This stuck out to me. It doesn’t matter what you look like, how you’re dressed, where you are:If you are female, men will harass you. It’s really messed up that she’s basically saying “If you’re beautiful it’s your fault you attract negative male attention. Good thing I was ugly by Hollywood standards.” Like

I caught that contradiction too. He talks about how when she turns over angry and threatens to break his arm he freaks because he knows he messed up. Yet, he “wasn’t sure she was asleep.” And “she didn’t invite anything.” So, she was laying there totally still and then startles to motion angry. Um, she was clearly

Canned food with visible expiration dates can just be dropped off at centers. I’ve done it. It’s just a mentality of wastefulness from people who have never had to eat ketchup soup and white bread for dinner. I work for a luxury beauty brand and we regularly host catered seminars. One particularly extravagant spread

The cult got shut down and the guy was tracked down after leaving the country. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2016. He’s 55 now so he’ll probably die in prison.

The writing is amazing and they are very clever with how they point out misogyny. The interactions and tone between the male cast members and Sweet Dee are spot on. How horribly misguided and selfish Charlie is with stalking the waitress because it’s all about him, The D.E.N.N.I.S System episode, when Dee is exploring

The parents ranged from equally evil to severely brainwashed. The main girl who escaped and got justice for the other girls tried to forgive her parents and even get them out of the cult. They shunned her and acted like something was wrong with HER. It’s insane.

It’s crazy how many boys/men really think sex is owed them and that our bodies are for them. My first realization of this was my freshman year of college. My first week in the dorm my roommate and I got invited to a frat party at this beautiful old mansion. Half an hour in a handsome well dressed preppy guy struck up

Ugh I know. Makes me ragey. There’s an episode of “The Hunt,” John Walsh’s new show (he did America’s Most Wanted) about a cult where the leader created a “special” group within the cult called the maidens. They were between 11-15 year old girls who’s parents had to “give” to him in a ceremony. Some of the girls

Sadly there are a lot of lost, confused, abused, hopeless people who lack their own core strength and contentment. Humans need love, support, purpose, self fulfillment etc, but many people don’t get those things at critical development stages, so they constantly seek it out and overlook the danger because they’re

Absolutely agree. He’s that pathologically shallow and petty. Like how he regularly sent photos of his hands to Vanity Fair after being lightly teased about them being small. This went on for years. What grown man does something like that?

Taco Bell execs are furiously taking notes.. But seriously, McDonald’s in Paris serve wine and beer with your value meals. It was really satisfying having Cabernet with my Big Mac.

Ugh she’s so try hard. She didn’t even get the genre/aesthetic right. That was grunge. Like, when I think of the look she’s describing I think of “Singles”, “Empire Records”, “Reality Bites” etc. Punk is Sex Pistols, Ramones etc. So embarrassing.

Oohh I’m into this look. It’s like Trump had a baby with Amber Rose, and then that baby is best friends with Lil Kim.

She’s desperately trying to rewrite her own mythology.

Or like what rich people actually do in NYC: have the assistant call an in-home service to come fix her hair. Upper east siders don’t even leave the house for manicures or tans.

Duh, the ammonium phyglocolate would be ruined with water.
