The more you valorize masculinity (by associating it with the active, often penetrative, role), the more you despise victims (who have, in your eyes, “lost” that masculinity). It’s beyond gross.

You ever notice that “unpopular” opinions are almost always middle-of-the-road?
I think that’s an overly simplistic view of zoos. I grew up with a zoo that just seemed sad, so I get it. But like the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park and the DC Zoo actually are for protecting endangered animals. So no, this is not an accident like the tragedies of Seaworld in which animals have been plucked out of…
Yeah, in this case captivity is kind of necessary to keep the species going, unfortunately.
There are a couple hundred Malayan tigers left; just leaving them all where they live is maybe not the best way to still have Malayan tigers in ten years.
They aren’t made to look white, they just look subjectively white to you. Because in the US white is the default, unless you put some racist caricature like yellow skin or slanty eyes, people will see them as white. I mean people see yellow skinned, blue afro haired Marge Simpson as white.
No, this is what happens when self-centered white people and Americans see white as the default. To the Japanese, anime characters look Japanese. To Americans, anime characters look white. In regards to GITs, if you bothered to even watch the series, you would know that nearly all Caucasian characters (e.g. American…
...And to Japanese people they look Japanese. They sometimes look like Japanese people with blue or pink or yellow hair, but what you’re seeing as visual signifiers of whiteness are typically taken by Japanese viewers as signifiers of being Japanese, or as typical flourished of the anime style (the huge round eyes,…
My boyfriend and I were talking about this last night- just because the characters look white, doesn’t mean they’re meant to be white.
I rather describe it like this: I don’t take away from anyone their success — I don’t. She worked hard and is a genuinely nice person. That’s awesome.
A+ Job making an interesting story about a convention involving women in an environment that imposes many restrictions on them in to a way to bitch about inclusiveness. Bravo!
Especially since that particular look and context could be applied to an infinite number of Smokey and The Bandit jokes.
I think the fight over abortion has always had a classist element to it. The women most effected by laws banning or making abortions difficult to obtain are frequently poor, working class, or lower middle class - the women least likely to have the resources to carry an unplanned pregnancy to term let alone raise a kid…
From the article about the poor 19 year old kid who went on trial:
Oh my God this. History tells us that we can wear the most modest pilgrim outfit ever, and we’re still going to scandalize someone with a flash of sexy, sexy ankle.
Let me tell you, as a black woman, her ‘isn’t unfair that there’s a corporate glass ceiling so sad I can’t make partner oh no I’m not getting paid as much as my husband (but at least they’re both employed) #whitefeminism doesn’t go over so well for me. Those are all important issues. (And I am a white collar type…
I walk my dog alone at night...not usually super late, but the sun goes down so early and my pup has to pee before she goes to bed. Anyways, I don’t stop. I don’t fucking stop walking for anybody. At bus stops people will ask me for change, or just random people will try to stop me to talk, and I don’t stop walking.…
