No, it's only a tribute if the designer isn't white. If the designer is white, then we must call it appropriation and make accusations of racism and get suitably offended. Duh. You're obviously doing it wrong.

Seriously. I have so-called cultural appropriation faux outrage fatigue. It's like no one's realised that people have been borrowing from other cultures forever, for fashion, art, design, etc. It's not blackface or anything actually insulting. This is a part of diversity. Yes, it's superficial and silly. But it's also

How do you get scars from putting stickers on your face?

Matt Lauer is totally a dick. But he's right about Lilith Fair sucking.

But it was because I wanted to look like my old self, not because I HAD to, and I sure as hell didn't consult any wedding-specific diet or fitness plans.

Yes, absolutely. My point is, if they're donating or volunteering and at least doing some good in that respect, does their hypocrisy matter? If a millionaire gives to charity, and his or her main motivation is to look good in the press and the tax benefits, or if his/her main motivation is genuine altruism, does it

Please... Because Christians aren't ever hypocrites.

Yup, I'm serious. I never said my judgment was fair. Without a doubt, I'm biased in the patient's favor. My own history makes it impossible for me to be impartial.

And she admitted to that herself, knows it was wrong, and she and her husband have moved past it. But people are still judging her for more than the initial cheating and you know it. They're judging her for not being entirely selfless and for having the balls to tell her husband that she can't just be a sexless

But what about empathy for the partner who's expected to live life as a sexless eunuch in the name of fidelity and monogamy?

Do you similarly ask guys who say they're single to "prove" they really are? Because there are also married/involved men on these sites, pretending to be single. Or are you only suspicious of the ones who say they're in open relationships? Because you think there's something inherently untrustworthy about them, maybe?

Yeah, funny how that doesn't seem to matter at all to a lot of the commenters. People who don't enjoy or need sex don't understand that it's a vital part of life for some people.

Couldn't agree with you more.

So she should suck it up and resign herself to being a caretaker to her husband and never have sex again, even though she's only in her mid 30s? What about her needs? Or do those not matter anymore if your partner is ill?

Judging her for what? For not wanting to resign herself to a sexless marriage where she's also a caretaker, by her mid-30s? Are you serious? No one can stay in a situation like that without ending up seriously resentful, depressed and unhappy. It sucks that her husband is sick but people forget that an illness is

It gives her the upper hand in some respects but it also puts her at a disadvantage. If she leaves because she can't stay in a sexless marriage where on top of it all she has to be a caregiver, she's the monster, she's the one people are going to judge. So she chose a somewhat unconventional alternative, and it might

And I think the important thing is you know it and you recognise it. It's just as important to know what you DON'T want as it is to know what you DO.

But it was working even LESS when she was faithful and they weren't having sex and she was starting to resent him and feel like shit from the constant rejection. It's pretty obvious that if she didn't have her lovers on the side, the marriage would have ended. So it's not perfect, sure, but it was even further from

That's funny. My mom actually showed me some of her old love letters when I was in my late teens. And no I didn't feel funny or like she was betraying my dad or anything, I was just helping her clean out her closet and some other stuff before moving houses and she found that box and I asked what it was so she showed

Most people become more conservative as they grow up though. And honestly, spend enough time hanging out in leftist circles and the naiveté, idealism and humourlessness would be enough to make anyone rebel against it and go full neo-con. I had to remove myself from certain circles or I was going to end up in the same
