If only they could dick themselves to another corner of the world I wouldn’t mind it. Like I want to defile the Taj Mahal with my grappling hook or Machu Pi or rediscover Maybe Aliens in the Nazca Lines.. I’d even be an imperialist if it meant we’d see India or China or something not so Eurocentric as the recent.

Their replies have ranged from stereotyping Asian women as short (and they’re willing to spend their dying breath on insisting that it’s factual and endless references to wikipedia), as submissive to just an intuitive preference for Asian women that they cannot pinpoint. Usually it’s their idea of who Asians are,…

To me, at least, a racial preference does not immediately give a negative bias against all races. Or a negative bias is not the necessary consequence of a racial preference. Preference isn’t equivalent to a belief of superiority, but it often is indicative of it as you say (and at least in my experience). It does…

But what if the preference is built on stereotypes like: Asians are short; therefore my preference to them? Like whassa mentions, Asian men or women are problematic categories. I doubt people who put up preferences of Asian women are expecting a Russian when they do so.

Yeah, he sounds like the worst. The kinda dweeb that thinks his racism is totally justified because “they do smell”.

What about people with racial preferences? Not exclusionary preferences like you described, but stuff like “I like only/prefer Asian women.” Are they racist or just racial fetishizing?

I’m sorry for your experience. Has had similar experiences (but none so direct) when dating, and bullshit likes that just hits you on all levels no matter what kind of douche you’re dealing with.

It’s a problem cycling has as a sport worldwide and then you’ve incidents of racism like the racial abuse Eritrean Natnael Berhane was subjected to during the Tour of Austria. But I’ve also experienced a gender and wage gap in cycling too. You’re less likely to be cycling if you’re a black woman with low income and…

I for one think it’s great. It will increase the safety of bicyclists now, and when the “saturation point” of bike lanes you expand the bike lane network. Of course it should be accompanied by a serious investment in public transport because of all the reasons you’re pointing out and to make it possible in itself. But…

I agree. The first time I saw an episode I thought he was an asshole. But then the next one and the next went the same way with the addition of dismissive being Kourtney’s standard setting for Scott. And she is really hard to read. So I thought it was like their storyline for the show (they break up to make up), and…

Ah, it comes from PMT for asbergres. A behavior/sex can be coercive in a context. For example can a history of domestic abuse make one consent (although I think submit is a more appropriate word) to sex out of fear, exhaustion or wish to end an episode. Or it can happen through emotional manipulation, normalizing…

I think it’s a combination of male gaze, entitlement and transphobia, but mostly transphobia. I’ve heard similar comments from some relatives and acquaintances (who turn horrible when it comes to the t in LGBT). It’s like they find it personally offensive that the woman they’ve glanced at isn’t cis. Their complaints…

Consensual or not, it’s still sexually coercive. It’s a situation where continual consent would be difficult to ensure and where (if there was) initial consent is easily exploited and coerced. Most people, I think, would also have trepidation about what would to them if consent was retracted and other would maybe feel…

I think any protection marriage might have against interference stops when a spouse raises their hand in violence to the other. The man has literally been charged and arrested for domestic abuse. A victim of domestic abuse should not be chained to their perpetrator just because of legal procedure or be stopped from…

That’s great to hear :-) Wish you all the best and many kind words :-)

I’d like to say the right thing, but it’s difficult and always sounds a bit trite. But it’s like things I’d liked to hear. You’ve nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to worry about. I’ve found there’s unimaginable many wonderful people out there and you should let yourself be surprised and experience them. It’s your…

Prejudiced as it might be, if a guy starts talking about artificial uteruses and father rights (especially with Sofia Vergara as a conversation starter) our acquaintance might be under revision when he’s finished talking. Those talks turn creepy real easy.

As someone with a father who is always lost in his phone and their predecessors, this isn’t a right I’d fight too hard for. The feeling of not being seen however irrational or unwarranted is not something I’d wish on anyone. I’d rather people stop policing and shaming other people’s parenting.

I thought she was good in Entourage, but my opinion is probably heavily influenced by the fact that she is playing herself. It’s awkward to doubt the authenticity of Ronda’s portrayal of Ronda? Headache. In other movies, eh. She does silently intimidating and staring people down pretty well though? And she can…

As I’d sell it, I totally would’ve climbed through mountains of trash (the thought that stink would reduce the resale value) to get it. I’d probably do it as long as I’d be saving money (depends on how much it cost for me getting to NY) no matter the price. Sigh, the labours of being cheap.
