She said she wasn’t wearing makeup. She’s wearing makeup. To you... who wears makeup a lot, it’s not makeup. To me, who doesn’t... it’s makeup.

 This is a really simple thing.

I mean, call the side whatever you want, as someone who personally enjoys wearing makeup I was a little put off by her self-righteousness when she originally came on the scene with this whole make-up free personal branding and this strikes me as disingenuous and hypocritical. I would care less if she hadn’t made…

I kind of don’t care, but I do think it’s frustrating for someone to make a huge deal out of not wearing any make-up but then wear “some” anyway. Why the “some”? And why not just say you are wearing some? Because if the point is to encourage ladies to feel comfortable being make-up free, and you aren’t comfortable…

That’s like the people that hire an interior designer to give their house a “lived in/rustic” look. She looks great, and she is clearly going for that “no effort” look with the makeup and hair, but in reality is spending a significant amount of effort to cultivate just the right amount of “no effort” in her look. I…

Uh, yeah, I am also #TeamAdam on this one.

It’s true, but it’s also true that she said she stopped wearing makeup because of the unrealistic expectations for appearance that women face, so wearing makeup and pretending you aren’t wearing makeup is just as bad as photoshop and crazy contouring in terms of setting up unreasonable expectations for how women…

I would gladly contribute to Alefantis’ legal fund (though where are the left’s billionaire sugar daddies?) if he can take down Alex Jones as Peter Thiel did Gawker. Both sides can play at that game.

Yeah, I agree. I think the biggest problem I saw with her statement (and I should say I’m not trans, so my perspective is limited here) was the fact that she shied away from outright saying that trans women are women. The implication being that trans women don’t fall into the larger group “women,” but rather than…

This whole conversation has been incredibly illuminating for me, because while I agree that transwomen are women, I didn’t see anything wrong with Chiamanda insisting that the experiences are different, although the language she uses undermines her point (she’s gaslighting like the author says, refusing to acknowledge…

I actually can’t think of any famous trans person whose present​ation doesn’t align with the societal norms of the gender they identify with. Maybe it’s strategic or easier to put forth Laverne Cox as opposed to Jenny who used to be Jimmy and still looks like a “guy”. However it gives the impression that being a woman…

What makes you a woman or a man? If it’s not genetics, or the way society treats you, is it a gut feeling that it’s what you are? When you look at people like Kaitlynn Jenner (not the representative of all trans women) who speak about make up and high heels as being the essence of woman hood, it makes me wonder if…

I grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood. In junior high - the height of body awkwardness - was when I first realized my ass was larger than everyone else’s. I used to squeeze my cheeks together (like someone would squeeze their stomach in for a picture) thinking that would hide my derriere. Fortunately, in…

On the flip side, I’m a Black woman without much ass and I’ve been made fun of for it constantly, often by other Black people BECAUSE I don’t fit that mold. On black-ish, the teen daughter Zoe makes a comment about how a boy broke up with her because she had no booty. That’s totally happened to me. And remember Martin…

She’s a black woman, discussing a subject that’s a problem with the way society views black women, and how that effects how they view themselves. I don’t think the problem here is her failing to recognize her privilege, I think the problem is that you’re missing the point of the article.

So you’re not for body positivity then. Only certain women with a specific body type are allowed to feel uncomfortable in their skin? Statements like yours drive me nuts.

She’s talking about her ass, which black women have been mocked and degraded for having, for decades. We have been hyper sexualized as CHILDREN because of it. It was a mark of such embarrassment for many of us growing up, and I absolutely include myself in that. I was overly concerned with the way my butt moved too…

I don’t get the Hiddleston hate. Especially here. The man is on a promo tour for his movie. Talk about his movie, for Pete’s sake. If you want to talk about his love life, call his agent/publicist/whatever and set up an interview about that. Don’t get upset that he is upset that you talk about his private life when…

It’s pretty bad when it’s a toss up between Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon as to who is more batshit crazy.

We don’t really live in a age where a trans person is the victim of a random act of violence.
