That person has a mutation that doesn’t allow them to see pure white hot burning sex appeal.

I cannot comprehend the levels of hot in that gif. I’ve seen it many times, but it’s always welcome.

Ugh. There is room for a critique of the self-esteem movement, but this is not it. So ugly.

“Latino is an ethnicity” — if you think this, and if you think the quote you pasted says this, we don’t have a basis for conversation. You’re both wrong and unpleasantly condescending, which is an irritating combo

White is a race. Latino is NOT an ethnicity, but a cultural-linguistic label applied to people from Latin America, a large area with many ethnicities. You can be Latino and be of several ethnicities, and several races. Bye.

Lol. He’s white.

Spaniard also means descendant of Spain, but fine, do your thing.

I hope to find some time to check those out, thank you!

Excellent point. I was raped, but the traumatic part was less the rape than the extremely awful reaction of the police in my country or origin. I would say *that* was what left a lasting impact, not the attack itself.

You are, of course, right. I just object to the automatic view that everyone from Mexico is “of color,” ignoring the history of that place and thus exonerating the colonization process.

Men, and Whoopi Goldberg and others unfortunately. It would be puzzling why they do that if one didn’t suspect it’s because they too have had “sex” in iffy circumstances, and don’t want to be labeled as rapists.

del Toro is also white. White Hispanic, but white. I don’t like it when we turn Spaniards into people of color, because in Mexico there is a HUGE stratification between whites and everyone else.

Look, what I did wasn’t murder-murder. That absolutely wasn’t murder, because when you use the word murder you mean I mashed his head into the shaggy carpet with the tire lever. Don’t just throw that word around. What I did was more like a gentle ushering of his consciousness through the tunnel that reaches into the…

thank you for this comment - amen!

That seems like an awfully rough way to do it. Thank you for looking it up!

I think you replied to a fascinating question, and one where there are still empirical facts to be ascertained. When you say “categorizing the experience as traumatic allows survivors to start processing and healing from the experience,” I sense that there is / should be empirical evidence to back that up. Is it true…

“nearly 3 percent are transgender or gender nonconforming, meaning they don’t always self-identify as the sex they were assigned at birth.”

Finally someone I agree with. I don’t get this performative “backlash” that seems completely unmoored from reality. It was fine. Not amazing, because few things are amazing, but definitely nothing worthy of this involved trashing. Ugh I’m bored even typing this.

So, so true. She had to mention all these “discrediting” details (“Isn’t she precious, this superficial actress lady with many marriages”)

Absolutely right. I have been disgusted by Haberman’s “who, me?” routine and her constant enabling of Trump.
