YES. Home-grown feminism is far better than us invading and 'liberating' burka-clad women. This is perfect.

You know what? I think this is kind of cool. They're leveraging their own culture in a way (while also clearly taking in influences from outside, like anime and ninja) that lets them have a positive message while also saying, "this stuff exists."
I will say this for Kate Middleton - if I had to get dressed in actual human clothes and take my newborn out to a screaming throng of people and reporters merely 24 hours after giving birth, I'd just be crying into a pint of ice cream. Shit, I don't think I even managed pants for the first two weeks. She is a brave…
Is "...who is a woman" is the new "I have black friends"?
"It was developed by our creative director, who is a woman,"
The problem is obviously a more systemic one. Girls are taught — not all girls, but many girls — to be pleasing, which makes haggling and negotiation very hard.
Tentacle porn massage???
Gasp! You mean my ONE anecdote doesn't prove that all people are racist? I had no idea...
I am insistent on actively reshaping the way those who work at your location see me and those who share my identities
If I had the guts to work in retail (specifically a clothing store like J. Crew or something similar) I would profile the hell out of White teenage girls and White women in their 20s because I know they're the ones who shoplift in those types of stores. I'd just be watching them and following them. Their lives…
And yet my (white) husband and I were easily able to return an opened tool with no receipt, despite the fact that Home Depot has a specifically policy about accepting tools without receipts (due to the limited warranties) by batting our eyes and explaining it was a wedding gift we didn't need (which was true). A few…
Woah now. The credit goes to the Prince, who happened to have the right swimmer in the right place at the right time.
Home is home. If all your friends, family and loved ones are there, why would you move? People love their homes and I think it's more noble to stay and stand up for what's right and try and change the mess than to just say "fuck it" and up and leave.
And 2000. ;)
We certainly have our problems in Florida (see Zimmerman, George), but we can't be the perennial champions of the red states' unofficial League of Whackadoodlery because Florida went blue in both 2008 and 2012.
The average Afghan citizen didn't care for their taliban. It stands to reason that we wouldn't like ours either.
The ban on sex-selective abortion infuriates me, especially in states with mandatory ultrasound requirements (currently unenforceable in NC).
As shitty as what's happening in North Carolina and what happened in Texas is, it's very encouraging to see cold, hard numbers reflect the fact that the majority of people are against this garbage.
At first I was offended that my state of Texas did not even show in the red states' unofficial League of Whackadoodlery until I realized that what is happening is here pure evil and is far beyond Whackadoodle.
