I'm originally from Texas, with some other Southern states thrown into my early-childhood mix, then a move to Northern Virginia, CT, and NY after that, and have learned to be a good mimic as well. But, dissertation ahead.

As a beyonce hater representative* I thought she was the only one who really did a good job last night.

This video makes me weep for my people and women. Nicki can do whatever she wants but as consumers and audience we should realize what larger role this plays in society. I fully remember the days when hyper-sexualized female rappers were not the norm. Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Missy Elliot, MC Lyte, Da Brat, Roxanne…

Right, and we're getting the trans perspective in the piece above. I was trying to explain to the cis hetero dude up there why it's really not as simple as he's painting it and why radical feminists are causing a "fuss." It's not really a fuss so much as it is a long-standing, massive conflict of thought.

What you're missing is that trans feminists and intersectional feminist are casually tossing out DECADES of feminist thought about sex and gender. Many radical feminists see trans women as yet another example of people with dicks demanding access to their spaces, telling them they know their shit better than they do,…

Trans women aren't women like women born with female anatomy are. They don't experience the same things. They are a different category and women who were born female still need their own spaces. I don't understand all this trans sympathy in the place of maintaining spaces just for women or for the gay/lesbian…

As an idea, perhaps we can not comment on a woman's physical appearance? It's great that you think she's beautiful but it is also completely unrelated to the topic and unnecessary to say.

Whatever happened to Lady Sovereign?

insider secret for you, if you see any logo or hear any brand name a lawyer has to approve it for aid, therefore any brand mentioned is more than likely there on purpose, therefore an ad. Most shows have brands they have to sneak in, some are blatant like Project Runway (use the Aldo accessory wall thoughtfully) but…

Actually, dicephalia (having two heads) is a rare but super interesting mutation that happens to almost every species on earth. I imagine it's harder to find examples of it in marine animals since the young born with two heads often die, but go into any weird medical museum or bizarre curiosity shop and you're sure to…

Many are.

Bullshit. That "social contract" theory that you are morally obligated to sit through commercials is network hogwash that even the Les Moonveses of the world didn't buy.

Just another reason why media literacy courses should be a mandatory part of K-12 education, honestly. Advertisers will continue to adapt to new technologies and ways of consuming media; the logical response is not to fight against it, but just work harder to ensure that kids are natively aware of what advertising is,…

I personally know a good cop. I know that he struggles with his own moral compass as it comes to the job of protecting and defending the public at large just like ANYONE has issues with that in their jobs. Cops aren't perfect, and a lot of them are downright awful, but waging war on all cops only fuels the issue. What…

but they aren't doing this because they are muslim... they are doing this because they are evil, selfish, controlling, jerks. stop conflating what they are doing with the teachings of their religion

I think she's actually a mac.

I do believe the bible has passages giving the go-ahead on slavery and taking the women of killed enemies as property. What exactly is your point? (Don't answer that, I know exactly what your point is)

I'm a pro choice Democrat but I feel like your sentiment is disingenuous. Republicans honestly believe that abortions are murdering children. They don't view it in the same light you do. No Republican thinks "Well I agree fetuses aren't children but it just makes me so mad that women want control over their own…
