She’s not the final arbiter of what’s racist and what isn’t. I think the ad was likely misinterpreted and taken out of context, but just because she’s IN the ad doesn’t mean she’s the only one who gets to judge.

That’s not a comparable situation, since religion is a protected class under labor law.

That is so painfully not how this works.

You absolutely can fire someone for talking in the office, with few exceptions (mostly union-related).

I think that’s the POINT.

I feel like 90% of y’all are completely missing the point of the original article.

Did you read the article? Because she addresses in it why she didn’t want to do this. It’s actually the entire point of the article.

First of all, how is “I want you to hire me a cleaning service” expecting him to be a mind reader? She literally told him exactly what she wanted.

No, she wasn’t saying that’s all it took to be a feminist ally. The point she was trying to make is that a man can be a feminist ally and understand the surface level stuff and still have these deep-seated gender issues...much like a random white person may understand the racism 101 and even 202 kind of stuff but…

Why did she need to say why she wanted a cleaning service, though? It was a Mother’s Day gift. She said “I want a cleaning service.” He ignored her express request and did something else because he wasn’t listening. How is this her fault for not being explicit enough (when she said exactly what she wanted) and not HIS…

Hmm, I don’t know - I think it is pretty normal/common for men to respond to criticism about housework in a very patriarchal way. That’s one of the reasons that even in two-income households women end up doing most of the housework.

How has she failed? She said “I want you to hire a cleaning service.” Not “I want the house to be clean,” or “I want someone else besides me to clean the house” or even “I want the house to be cleaned as if a professional did it.” She literally told him exactly what she wanted him to do and he lazily assumed she…

The point is that men are also grown ass adults. I don’t have to tell my husband what needs to be done around the house and he doesn’t have to ask me, because he has two eyes and can SEE that the sink is full of dishes, the bathroom needs to be cleaned, the laundry needs to be done, etc. Keeping a list in my head of…

Yeah, that’s where I think this falls down. I don’t expect to have to give step by step instructions to a grown ass individual for how to buy me a gift or hire a service. That’s what Google is for.

Frank Ocean, SZA, and Jhene Aiko aren’t rappers. Bryson Tiller is debatable - most of what he does is singing.

I wholeheartedly agree with this whole post, even Frank Ocean, who can actually sing.

If schools are a place of learning, what if you learn that people of your race are being killed disproportionately by the police? If schools and football fields aren’t places to protest, where is? It’s nonsensical to say someone should keep this “at home” because that’s not a protest.

When you’re 19 a lot of times you get that drunk on accident because you don’t know how to regulate your liquor yet. You’re going for a nice hard buzz, you don’t realize that the 2 drinks you already drank will get you there if you just wait 20 minutes, so you drink two more and suddenly an hour later you’re sloppy.…

That’s what makes me so mad about this case. Duh she died from freezing to death; I’m not sure that was ever in question. That doesn’t rule out foul play, because the real question is how the fuck did she get inside the freezer in the first place? And since commercial freezers can be opened from both the inside AND…

Contraceptives do not promote risky sexual behavior among adolescents and young adults. Contraceptives are in fact the exact opposite of risky sexual behavior.
