It’s aspirational, because they probably believe their targeted consumer - upscale moms exercising their tushes off - wants the body of never having had children, even if they have or will have children. I think this is their fucked up reasoning. And it’s such patriarchal bullshit.

I laughed my ass off about Duke and Ocean after my first day of orientation. My husband did not believe me when I described that shit.

I guess they think their employees should aspire to have no kids, either.

Duke Ocean sounds like Ron Swanson’s smooth jazz alter ego.

So Lululemon = Scientology - aliens + yoga pants? That’s what I’m taking from this.

They also had Native slaves.

Hell, I think a lot of us have relatives who are still alive who seem to be veering into the wrong side of history territory (thinking of my rabid Republican great-aunt). The past is the past, and sometimes you find out that you had some really cool ancestors who did amazing things, and other times, they were potato

Hmm, yes, why bother reviewing something you have an opinion about?

at least you got some sense. wtf to that reply by rar. focus on the positive...focus on the positive...

I wish other people in the entertainment industry had this kind of integrity.

“showing leadership through social responsibility”

I don’t understand this. Why would he demand to hide that part of his history? He is white, and his ancestors have been in this country for a while. There’s probably a good chance that every white person in the same situation has at least one slave-owning ancestor. Heck, I remember watching the episode with Wanda

Everyone has weird stuff in their family histories. In my family there were amazing Irish rebels who helped push the English out and a brave Italian immigrant in NY who became a journalist on the front lines in WWII. There was also family members who were in the Revolutionary War on the wrong side and mafia in Sicily.

This is so stupid. It’s an interesting show that displays exactly how complicated the racial makeup of America is like every single episode. It’s not journalism so if some insecure moron wants to omit his slave-holding roots, that’s unfortunate. But it’s not like this solves anything.

Nooooo! This is one of my favourite nerd shows and I have a nerd crush on Professor Gates. Damn you to the fiery pits of hell Affleck!

Of course you can like what you like—no issue there. The mistake is in extrapolating your personal opinion to a broader perspective. That’s where it gets offensive and ignorant. Women’s sports are not boring, they just aren’t interesting to you.

Somehow I doubt you would manage a layup if inserted into a WNBA game

If you tried to play one on one with any WNBA player, you’d get your ass kicked. You can’t shoot, dribble, etc. like they can at all. Bad take. A better take is that the WNBA is boring and no one watches it because the players don’t have the same freak speed and size (and the abilities that come with those attributes)

Someone would like a word with you:

Women’s soccer and women’s tennis are every bit as good as the men’s game.
