I have an off-topic question (for a friend, of course). Is it the dick sucking or the fact that it’s a bag of them that’s supposed to make this a bad thing. Because, you know, it’s really not...

No. A lived experience is having an autistic child. A lived experience is not having an autistic child whose autism was caused by a vaccine, because that simply does not happen. Sorry, your belief does not trump science and a feminist website is not obligated to support your decision to cling to a fable.

Wait, what?!?! I..but.. It really says that?!

This isn’t about braids generally. It’s about a specific type of braids usually associated with Black girls and women. Read some of the comments here about being teased for wearing their hair that way. Being called ghetto. But that hairstyle on a white woman is cool and new? No one is saying white women can’t wear…

This isn’t about White people wearing braids. No one is saying White people can’t wear braids, or that Black people invented braids. What this post and many others are pointing out is that a style that Black people have been wearing in Africa and in the US for hundreds of years, is called “ghetto” when Black people…

Oh, I love this story!

Thank you for saying that. It’s hard for me to find the words - - odd, since I’m a lawyer - - to talk about it with anyone. But I know it’s lurking there. There’s also anger at myself for the last incident because so many warning bells went off in my head with that guy and I ignored them and betrayed myself for the…

It is oddly normal. I was molested at 9, assaulted at 20, and raped at 39. There isn’t a single person in my life who knows about the last two. I don’t know if it’s shame or not wanting it to change how they view me. I especially wouldn’t share it with any man I’m in a relationship with.

And you don't hold your own earrings! You pass them off to your girlfriend to hold! D'UH.

Not sure why feminist is in quotation marks. Oh, wait, I do. You don’t seem to know what either feminism or cognitive dissonance mean.

Ah yes, there’s that cognitive dissonance of asking why folks are laying this at Taylor Swift’s feet and then asking about Beyoncé in the same breath.

Thank you for not posting the worst message - the woman who wrote a long paragraph listing all the reasons Black women are ugly and white women are beautiful. The naked hatred took my breath away.

The Fremdschamen I experience when seeing any video of this dude is off the charts.

Broncos-hating Boulderite here. Today’s parade is going to put me in a bad mood (I work in Denver).

Exactly! When Jessie J sings — and she sings decently, not amazingly — every vein pops out in her neck, she squeezes her eyes shut, and she looks pained. You can see the tremendous effort it takes her, while as you pointed out, Aretha and Whitney look like they’re expending no effort.

It’s what happens when Ugg boots and Nikes mate.

I watched my mother remain trapped in a terrible, abusive marriage for years because she was a stay at home mother and had zero resources of her own to escape it, much less escape it with her children. I promised myself that would not be me and thankfully was able to keep that promise to myself. Within two months of…

I know EXACTLY which commercial you’re talking about. It plays here in the West too. 800-588-2300 Empiiiiiiiiiiiiire!

Wow, what an ugly view of the world you have.
