I didn't see the years at first and thought that the non-appropriation magazine was the newer one. Silly me for thinking that in the last 40 years we would have progresses rather than regressed. Sigh.

I almost think they were striving to be a legit magazine for teenage girls and the profile of a Navajo was an interesting profile. Fast forward and they don't care for substance, just whatever appropriated style is in. That type of things changed long ago, though.

Holy shit. Never have the words "clicked anyway, was not disappointed" been more appropriate, brava!

Will no one speak for my people?

I know - it is so unfair to white people, that there are literally no articles about the dangers of tanning, or about the dangerous standards that people are striving for in the name of beauty.

Male anger is not just constantly validated, but glorified. Whole media franchises are based around it. Anger is what we're allowed to express. Noble visions of men still focus around the direction of anger towards deserving targets and exerting mastery.

Did you have a problem with the original WaPo headline? Which literally says that all women would would be safer married? Or do you only have a problem when ridiculous generalizations are made about men?

I wish my friend who was killed by using statistical evidence instead of anecdotes, could have read this. He might still be alive. Statistically, probably not, but anecdotally, he totally could be alive.

So the original WaPo headline that kicked off this whole thing was this. I'm pretty sure Kate was using her headline to make a point about those that would twist data to draw broad, unrealistic, laughable conclusions.

Also satire.

Wait, you mean we should start with the CAUSE of the problem?

There's also some interesting commentary from a reader at TPM here: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-gross…

This is one of the better commencement speeches I've seen in a long time.

Her point is actual real world and not shitty at all. You prioritize your career, and that is okay. But if you REALLY want to travel, you can find a way to do it. And she was not saying do everything at once, but to not get stuck in the inaction of merely dreaming when you can be doing.

There will be plenty of people who will completely miss the point of this speech, and complain about hashtags and not being able to travel.

The dream part of her speech reminds me of a friend of mine. She's the biggest dreamer you'll ever meet. She wants to become an actress and live in Manhatten. The problem is that she has absolutely no acting experience and she, like most people, can't afford to live in the city. I've never seen her act, so I don't…
