Wow, that's an indictment of the entire capitalistic system.

In that same vein of logic, you should not be allowed to tell girls what they should feel about depictions of themselves in culture unless you go through at least one course on gender politics. And yet, here you are.

I wrote this when the criticisms of the video first came out:

The whole plot of Gone Girl and the mass of articles pertaining to it has to do with a self-declared Cool Girl that is murdered, possibly by her husband. The book supposedly treats her more three dimensionally, and her forays into feminist lit in her journal are thought-provoking even if she turns out to be…

Where have you been where you haven't been subjected to all of the articles about Gone Girl that argue David Fincher is sexist for not striking the right balance and turning the movie into another "women are crafty, they kind of deserved to get killed because they'd totally blame their death on their husbands" tale?…

When I was 11, I tried and declared that I didn't like sushi. Last week I was given a chance to go to Japan and I took it, went to the Tsukiji fish market, and ate a frickin' boatload of sushi. I must be an opportunist.

Do you read Magi? That one's been my go to Shounen fix.

I spent the first half of my life with F and the second half with C and much prefer C. However, thanks to my F experience, I always forget that a 5 degree difference is a WORLD until I accidentally go out in a t-shirt in 20C.

Really? I actually like how this seems like a big F U to journalists who want to focus on her body just because she's put the focus on her body before. If that's not a lesson in taking back the power, of having full and utter control of your own sexuality on your own terms because - quite honestly - you can and who…

Hear hear! I wish every company took death threats made against their employees this seriously.

As someone who is an introvert and was painfully shy and was forced into interactions with large groups of people, I can tell you: socializing with confidence is a muscle just like everything else. You may never be the Adonis of talking to women (just like I will probably never bike the Tour de France), but you can be…

Well, I was in Manhattan/Brooklyn and the bulk of these experiences happened around 2000-2010. I dunno if it's different now (no longer live in the country). I think my friend group - or at least acquaintance-wise - is pretty diverse. Bankers on one side and indie rock musicians/bartenders on the other. I also don't…

Speaking from personal experience, it's always been easier to say a "soft no" for me because at some point in time, I move countries or the guy moves on. The several times I tried a polite but firm no (along the lines of "Sorry, I'm flattered but just not feeling it."), the guys have:

a) poured a drink on me the next…

The key words to that last sentence were "WITHOUT EVER BOTHERING TO TALK TO ANYBODY BLACK IN AMERICA." This is actually a constant problem on Jezebel for all POCs, where - usually the white staff, though I guess Kara isn't in this case - give some lip service to POC issues without any understanding of what's actually…

I'm sorry about my unnecessarily snarky comeback, but I'm not sorry about my thoughts about the post because, yes, I did read what she wrote. Twice even. China offers one of the first opportunities for white America to confront a race that (apart from the people born in America, whose struggles I understand - being a…

Actually, very sorry about that last comment. I wrote it but immediately regretted it. I wish I could edit it out, but I guess kinja doesn't work that way. So, I apologize again.

Well that makes it worse then. You should know better.

Kara Brown, please whitesplain more why I should be offended by an event that hasn't happened yet, is backed by an institutional arm whose sole purpose is to collect and curate Asian culture and has two of the most powerful Chinese celebrities on the board. And please continue not to talk to any Chinese people or…

Yeah, I wasn't so offended by the Met's theme (even its a little on the nose name, at least they didn't put dragons in there?) as by the fact that Kara Brown used a picture of cultural appropriation that was pretty much 100% Japanese cultural appropriation. What's the deal, Kara? Do all us Asian appropriations look…

Hormones aren't horoscopes. The less we as humanity think of our bodies as machines with a simple input output system, and more as a whole ecosystem interacting in all of its complexity, the better. I'm as against acknowledging the existence of hormones as I am against acknowledging similar things we are just…
