There is such a duality to it as well. On one hand, the woman is seen as essentially passive, a decoration, an object, there for the taking, and a sexual toy; on the other hand, she is seen as powerful, predatory, devious, and a sexual danger.
I would like to say that I took me like until the age of 30 to figure out why objectification was a bad thing.
Fun fact: The very first article I ever wrote for The Root was titled, “5 Signs You’re About to Be Racially…
Human rights campaigners are accusing Saudi Arabia of torturing several women’s rights activists using electrocution…
LOL they think they OWN people whose work they're fans of. No Boo. Mariah is bi/tri-racial/mixed, whatever else you want to call her, as an individual. AND her ex-husband/kids' father is black, her favorite producer is black, she tours with other black artists, and her kids, though mixed, will likely see themselves as…
“One Sweet Day,” folks are going to get out of their “Emotions,” admit the real reason they’re so “Obsessed” with…
Offensive is in the eye of the beholder. You can’t compare it to racism cause there’s tons of women who do actually like being sexy, dominant or both. The article even states that shaming those women is just as bad (in a way)

The Buffalo News did a story on it. Sweet, sweet justice that these parents are going to deal with their abuse being covered in the local paper. If the comments are, in fact, local they may have a shunning of their own in their futures. Also interviews the “father.”
Oh her parents are worse. After they learned of the go fund me page they reached out for reconciliation and therapy. Guess they got scared of being outed as evil bigots and tried to make nice.
Fuck her shitty ass parents. Bill for family vacation... I hope she never pays and it fucks up your credit forever, you trifling, nasty assholes. I hope Discover calls you nightly. I hope this article gets you hate mail.
We do such a great job with our kids, eh? Her parents disown her. The school that’s supposed to be leading her through the last stage of becoming an adult tries to fuck her over. And the only organization that could theoretically protect her from the asshole Jesus freak fuckwads at the school sees what’s going on and…
Apparently not in Ireland.

Every group has them, and they are an unspeakable shame in each of our minority populations. Pick a minority group in the US and maybe 10 or 15% identify as conservative/right-wing. But from those 10-15%, the most outspoken and shameless will be promoted to prominence by the Republican machine (“See, we’ve got…
