I must say that I am shocked, SHOCKED, that people with enough money to throw a huge wedding would be the same people who are not making minimum wage and overall, in general, might be able to make ends meet without skipping this bill this month in order to put food on their table. And those people would be overall…

The more money part if a big thing. The couple who moved in next to my parents held a seemingly thousand person wedding on their lawn (my parents yard is 8 acres, their yard is like 10)(also it was probably only a few hundred but still). They had a band, a specially made gazebo, etc etc. It was friggin posh (and for…

If you're going to trace it back that far, then the only real Americans are aboriginal Americans. That means white people don't count. People who were born and raised in the US and identify as American are American.

Did you really just attempt to teach a Jamaican about Jamaica?!

Yeah but she didn't grow up in Jamaica so how is she appropriating by wearing what you consider American clothes, as an AMERICAN?

"western African heritage"? Um, no. I'm a black American, born and raised, of Jamaican descent. None of your questions prove that cultural appropriation is not real. "Blue jeans" is not part of one culture. Neither are weaves/hair extensions and marriage...

I didn't need to acknowledge that question (without a question mark) because there is no culture that "tailored dresses and shoes" belongs to. And no I wouldn't want Miley's opinion because she's an idiot, but if she showed interest in Ferguson, I would gain a little respect for her.

I disagree with everything you just said. Cultural appropriation isn't simply "borrowing" from other cultures. When people talk about Miley Cyrus and her instances of cultural appropriation, they're talking about the fact that she uses aspects of black culture for her monetary gain. She may supposedly enjoy being…

Anybody who thinks it's hypocritical for us to hate rape and like sex isn't very good at thinking.

I'm on OKC and it is the best policy to exchange a couple friendly messages and then meet up for a drink/coffee. Anytime it goes beyond that it is somehow misleading or a let down because you build someone up in your head, and it's so incredibly important to have an automatic chemical connection in person (in my…

Yes, my point was absolutely that all men are sinister and not that this particular man is tiresome. I hid it very cleverly and you are to be congratulated for finding my secret message.

Good breakdown of why his conclusions are dumb. I have found no lack of people interested in having meaningful conversations on OKCupid. Generally, if you find that all your conversations are shallow and boring, the problem is probably you. You're the common factor.

That's because movie execs think watching people fall in love is interesting, watching people in love is not.

Men have no idea what tampons and pads cost and how deeply essential they are. There's a huge stigma about menstruation that makes a dude buying tampons for his usually overly emotional girlfriend into a tired TV comedy show trope. Women in poor countries either have nothing to bleed into it (and lose jobs and school…

Depends on her definition of "fight" maybe? Or, like I imagine many trolls to be, he's a spineless dweeb in real life and releases the anger he has no constructive outlets for on internet people he perceives as weak and identity-less. ...which is more or less what he admitted to her. Ugh.

I have stains that aren't period stains. I have discharge stains. Many. Am I actually the only one on earth, or is talking about discharge such a taboo that no one will admit it?

South Tyrol is in Italy. It was German up until WWI, but was ceded to Italy afterward. Most of the people who live there still speak German (hence the German names), and there have been a lot of discussions about independence or seceding to join Austria, but it is an Italian province.

"[Firth] has a briefly seen, occasionally mentioned fiancée named Olivia (Catherine McCormack), who is a fellow skeptic and an intellectual peer, meaning that she has no chance with him."

I don't think you understand what ROYGBIV is about. It's all political here. This is an LGBT+ News, commentary, and discussion part of the Jezebel domain on Gawker Media. So fine, let's talk about the unrealistic expectations of the fashion industry, but let's not do it at the expense of women's bodies. Not those of…

How exactly did you miss that the model is a woman? How on earth did you get to the article without reading the title?
