The sad part is you'll probably never see the issue, nor will you ever understand. It's not really your fault, you are probably male, and born male and have had male privileges that you've probably never really even realized.

I really want to address the insane need for people to feel "normal." There is nothing wrong with being different, none, yet people all have this overwhelming need to be labeled as "normal" or "average" due to the desire to not want to be outside the norm.
These women are much braver than I, kudos to them. Also if you're selling plus size lingerie, then of fucking course your gonna have plus size women modeling and buying them.
It actually pains me a little to say this as I was totally set about not giving a crap about Frozen but damn, it was much better than expected.
Hair as a platform element or a weapon could have been super cool. but the game developer in me thinks they just got conservative with it, the mechanics of that are way more complicated than swinging around a frying pan. Laziness really but whatevs.
Most of it is whatever, just people trying to have a kitschy event to attend, but it's not quite the same as the wild west theme cause that's not appropriating a whole country and culture into an ignorant, simple, exotic stereotype. And who knows, cowboys nowadays might find that equally offensive, or, they might…
I'm sure there was a classier way to do this.
There will always be a beauty standard. ALWAYS. This is irrefutable. I definitely understand the impulse behind this sentiment as "everyone is beautiful" as an extremely average person myself, but by saying everyone is (physically) beautiful, really means no one is beautiful.
What about that one asian dancer, and that one white dancer? Does an asian woman count as a woman of color? Or is she just "white enough"? Is she appropriating black culture?
I don't think that having money is the reason for true skill. That's the crux of it, a skill is EARNED, yes the ability to afford luxury ingredients in this case is part of it, but the reason a skill is considered a skill is because one works hard at it. It's completely unfair that kids with less resources do start…
I think talent as a whole is pretty bullshit concept, most people worth their salt in anything came by it as hard work and dedication, something that money can't buy. It's obvious to me those kids loved cooking, and were lucky enough to have parents to provide an avenue for that.
Which without an educated populace, will be even more insurmountable. It's definitely a valid point, and an issue that affects many, many people, but I just don't think it will get better if the message we send is that a degree or higher education isn't worth it. Our school systems need drastic reform, that is for…
Standards are hypocritical if you do not hold yourself up to those same standards. Odor and grooming standards all around please.
Maybe I'm just picky, but for the short two weeks I was on okc, the volume of the messaging didn't yield any real... I guess options? I'm also wary about "yellow fever," the industry I'm in has an unusually high number of asian fetishists.
My friend Chris deals with the same thing as he has a pretty common and normal surname as well, he wears glasses(he does have a prescription, just not bad enough for daily wear) to interviews to not come off as "threatening." Legit horrible.
My issue with this costume is that just because people are promising WORST make this costume not so bad!? People are responsible for their own feelings and actions, one bad decision that causes a bad reaction is less awful than the original implication? What's the responsibility ratio on this? Her costume sucks, the…
It also depends on the way you pose, if I stand normally, no thigh gap, if I set my feet a bit apart, push out my backside, boom, thigh gap. That's why models in ads always push out their butts. Ridiculous pose to do irl.
I wouldn't say women do it to each other just to be bitchy, more like consumer industry has sold young women an image of an ideal that many feel pressured to conform to in order to buy into the increasingly narrow beauty standard that is sold to us for profit and our society's increasing obsession with physical…
Wine gives me awful hangovers no matter how little or how much I drink. But gotta say, nothing beats the image of holding an entire wine bottle to your face and drunkenly singing disney songs to drown out the inner sorrow.
I feel like I have to point out that, that this sentiment itself is also problematic. Paler Asians are not exactly rare, especially when you head north or east. The fact that they don't look different enough to be considered progress is worrying, because Asians are some of the most underrepresented groups in media,…
