"On the other hand why must men have daughter to suddenly get that girls are people, or that they face a daily onslaught of cultural prescriptives that reinforce super retro roles?"

Are we really going with the word "racist" to describe dating preferences or attraction? Clearly in many cases these preferences are the result of historical and contemporary attitudes towards men and women of different races and ethnicities. That's an important discussion to have. But I'm so uncomfortable with the…

Sorry but I don't think its racist to only date people of your race. I'm a black woman and I only date black men, does that make me racist. Or is it just racist if someone that is non black only want to date within their race.

I get accused of being racist on there because I said I am attracted to pale women

I don't think not wanting to have sex with people that are of a different race than you makes you racist. Sex is not that important.

Is having preferences in sexual attraction considered racist now?

When I did the online dating thing, I got more response from hispanic and white men and I did from black men (I'm black). Just to check if I was imagining things, I changed my race to "mixed" and sure enough…a lot more black guys took notice. How crazy is that? I think people have this idea of what a ___________…

I think you are going to date whom ever you're attracted to, what ever that happens to mean to you. I've dated men that aren't of my ethnic background, but I'm generally more attracted to those of a similar background to mine. Does that make me racist? I don't think so.

I find it interesting that in 2009 - black men seemed the least racist of all. Everyone in their eyes was within 2-3% of the average (probably close enough that it's not statistically relevant).

So you can't date a fat guy because that guy is a good date? I thought this site was better than this.

Especially when she said "Sometimes I'm afraid of you and how you will react to me."

It is not about seeming nice. The discussion of enthusiastic consent etc. is still a new fresh thing NOW. In 1992, it wasn't talked about other than in academic feminist circles. Do I think he should have gotten enthusiastic consent rather than just assume that by agreeing to a date and a booty call Desiree Washington…

Are you guys mad the US took Celine Dion? Will you stop it if she is returned? Or are you just tired of being known as super nice and want some street cred?

Seriously. He did his time. We can argue it wasn't enough time, but that is on the justice system, not on him. I get angry at celebrities who get passes for their shitty behavior, like Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen. The ones that actually pay for their shit, like Tyson and Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Downey Jr? Nope.…

I met Mike Tyson about 2 years ago at a charity event for a hospital's aneurism/traumatic brain injury department . I was a camera operator for producer who interviewed him. On camera he talked about wishing how he could have been the person he is now back then. Off camera I got to chat with him for a bit between…

lame attempt to ride the coattails of Team Dog.

I'm not an MRA [nor have I ever met one and I don't know anyone who has met one either], but I'm thrilled with this. Male birth control is long overdue. My birth control should always be controlled by me. Soon, it will be.

But that's true of women and almost all of our contraceptives now. We can abuse it and say, "oh, I'm totally on the pill/have Implanon in my arm/have an IUD with really short strings" and trick men into impregnating us when they don't want to, or vice versa, and saying we're trying to get pregnant while taking The…
