I like seeing how powerful my body is. Keeping track of my lifting form, I give my curves a non-stop pep-talk about how great they look. The more I sweat and grunt, the more I'm reminded of great sex. :) I wouldn't want the other gym goers to know how lifting weights makes me feel, though. Yikes!

I don't find any of this empowering...

Because they give a shit. Seriously. That's all it is. If you give a shit about something, and practice at it, you'll probably get good at it, especially if very few other people really give a shit. It doesn't even necessarily mean they're any smarter than anyone else- spelling has pretty clear rules depending on what…

Most people who have a certain privilege victimize themselves because it's better to disassociate yourself from the problem rather than acknowledge that the problem exists and then help eradicate the marginalization of the unprivileged.

These people are complete idiots.

This is why the term "all American girl/boy" pisses me off. You never hear that term associate with non-white people because it reinforces the racist ideology that only Caucasians are the Real Americans(TM). And this explains why the media rarely shows Asian Americans in tv shows and movies. Asians are only allowed to…

A man calling himself a feminist is kind of like a white feminist calling herself a womanist or a chicana.

You say you don't like them and I believe you believe that's true. But you don't know them. And any space they're taking up in your brain is real estate you're selling for below-market value. It has very little to do with them. What you typed is about you. If I knew you and we were friends, I'd recommend…

Ah yes, the old "nouveau riche PoC and wife can't possibly appreciate fine European culture." Effectively calling a rich black man an imposter is done backwards nonsense.

what they want isn't "most women", though. They feel entitled to the size 4, white, rich, blonde sorority girl (80% of this or more is about looking good to other men!) and see the women they could actually get as "beneath them".... while the women they want, are so far out of their league that they're in orbit. If…

I'm a straight woman who feels like no one's attracted to me. I "peaked" over ten years ago according to men. At least men don't depreciate like fucking cars. Whyyyy do men think women are never lonely, rejected, ignored?! Is it because the "dime pieces" are literally the only ones on your radars?

I'm not defending them, basically because I don't follow the Kardashian stuff , and while I actually like some of his music, he definitely is an annoyingly cocky asshat. But I know people who have been fortunate to visit amazing places and they haven't appreciated any of it. They just tick it off their List Of Places…

Two people you don't know went to Ireland and you feel strongly enough about it to post something online. That says more about you than it does about them.

That's effing ridiculous. They have money. They got married in Europe. They went on their honeymoon in Europe. They're doing normal stuff. Other people are reporting on it. None of that is about status or desirability or how you're supposed to feel about it. You're projecting because you just don't like them.

jealous they went there and not her.

It was assault. Will Smith has been an outspoken ally of the LGBT community, but even if he had never uttered a word about us, this was an assault by a stranger. I would be mad as hell too. This guy is all about shattering other people's personal space, to the point of violence.

You're being a snob. If they want to holiday in Ireland, treat the place with respect and leave four-figure tips for hardworking pub staff, they are well within their rights to.

How despicable, can you imagine, a weight (not ability) requirement for government sports funding. And what of that black people, on average not always, have different muscle development and weight setpoints to white people, eugh, just eugh.

I watched the last set on my lunchbreak and my heart was in my throat the entire time. She was up 5-2! And when Cornet broke her, Townsend did not give up. Girl held her nerve and finally served it out for the win. I LOVE to see a young player break through and not fall to the pressure. Not only was she moving on…

I also think it has to do with classism, had a homeless black guy made a similar manifesto, he would have been in prison but a rich white and they are like meh.
