you could also make the argument that Kesh (perhaps unconsciously) copied Versace first because Versace had been known for infinite variations of that same roman face and border surrounding it forever. In fact, it's their logo. The shirts are definitely similar but for the above mentioned reason (the Versace shirt is…

Try to see it from a different point of view: it's hard not to develop an attitude when a good chunk of the jezebel commentariat is trying so hard to be the most outraged and offended and, when someone makes a comment like Cassie's, practically falling over each other trying to see who can make the loudest…

I'm feeling victimised? LOL

Why not? Especially if the point you want to make isn't about his race per se but about his belonging to a group that has also been historically oppressed (as have women, of all races, and LGBTQ people, and the disabled, etc.), as in, you would think there would be some kind of solidarity among different oppressed…

So do you get just as butthurt when people make (alleged) generalizations about white women?

So what are you saying? That transphobia is not as bad when it's committed by a POC, or that white oriole can't call POC out on their prejudices and that only POC can criticize other POC? Or all of the above?

That's not how I read her comment and I don't understand how anyone could take it to mean anything on the least bit racist or derogatory. I understood it as saying that suffering oppression doesn't make you immune to being the oppressor yourself, for different reasons. And I agree. Because I agree with her that…

I mean, it's the same accusation that gets thrown at white feminists all the time but it's kind of fun to see the ones who usually make those comments getting butthurt when it's made in reference to something a POC says.

How is what Cassie said any different than the accusations that get thrown at white women for being "white feminists" and the argument at they only care about white women and not WOC or LGBTQ people? Saying that being a feminist doesn't make you automatically empathetic to other oppressed groups despite knowing what…

I took it to mean that it's unfortunate that suffering one kind of discrimination or oppression (in this case racism) doesn't necessarily make you more empathetic of people facing other kinds of discrimination and oppression, and doesn't even make you less likely to hold prejudices against LGBTQ or other minorities.…

I had the initial side-eye that you did but then I thought about it and realised that the problem isn't the mothers' stress as opposed to the fathers', it's that women stress and feel guilty about every second they spend away from their kids and men simply don't because they haven't been indoctrinated to believe that…

Oh gawd, not you again...

Yes, I know they are different. But they're both very much of our time and (I think) have similarities, which is why I listed them together.

Of course he's an asshole. It's not like Mariah was suddenly going to develop decent taste in men overnight. Girl's got issues. And I say that with love.

No, of course I'm not saying that. I do have conflicting feelings about this whole debate though. Because of the reasons you cite and because I also know what it's like to have loved ones born to people incapable of raising them. In most cases they're even incapable of taking care of themselves or living on their own.…

I know they're different things. Which is why I listed them separately. but thanks for the explanation. I just think they're both mostly bollocks though, for different reasons and to varying degrees.

Thanks for the information. Interesting.

Why would you be scared at the prospect of a generation of supremely self-confident, entitled snowflakes with no life skills or coping mechanisms? What could possibly go wrong?

Why? Because it might finally make people realise that the current trends of attachment parenting and helicopter parenting are bullshit?
