He’s a terrible actor, too. My wife recently binged all of “Mr. Selfridge” and he was by far the worst part of that show.

I watched ‘Alias Grace’ the first day it came out —- not because I was hotly awaiting it, I’ve never read the book nor I did I watch ‘The Handsmaid Tale.’ Rather, back in the day, I listened to the audiobook of ‘The Handsmaid Tale’ and loved it. As I loved Sarah Polley’s ‘Stories We Tell.’
Mary seemed like Grace’s first, true friend and while there was genuine love there, I didn’t register it as romantic love. To me, their relationship was about sisterhood and family. Not only that, but Mary was incredibly maternal and nurturing to Grace when she first arrived. She taught Grace about politics and men,…
That hypnosis scene where Mary Whitney comes out of Grace just freaked me out. I felt like someone was at my back the entire evening after I watched it.
That’s not at all what the article said. It said white women shouldn’t speak out to center themselves, but the number of likes your wilfully ignorant comment got makes it clear who reads this site and gets their pink pussy hats in a wad any time things aren’t about them.
I’ve seen a few of these exact comments, including in progressive academic spaces, and I’m a Black woman. I literally just screenshotted this today. So why are you here using anecdata from your own personal circle to throw doubt on a larger discussion? No one is asking white women to shut up entirely, just not to use…
When I discuss abortion issues, my focus isn’t on a worry that I might impregnate someone and she won’t have access to an abortion, leaving me partially responsible for an unwanted child. That’s possibly true, but it’s beside the point. The point of abortion is that it allows a woman fully bodily autonomy.
“They’re all being genuinely outraged and dismissive and asking what they can do to help”.
GIRL.
Read through this comment thread. So many “I’m white and here’s my hot take on Nazis” or “I’m white but Jewish, do I count”. Me me me me me me me. It’s the well-meaning people who just have to make it about their moment to be great. I’ve seen a lot of it from good people who had to put their whiteness at the center of…
With all due respect, white liberals have been telling us that ‘few bad apples’ trope for the last 60 years.... which is why you were all so stunned at Trump’s victory. America is RACIST AS FUCK, we’ve been telling you so, now it’s time to stop telling us what we’re saying isn’t so bad. It fucking is.
So basically you saw a criticism of some white people, and you were so blinded by rage at the very idea that white people were being criticized (and by a white lady no less! race traitor amirite?) that you completely missed the point of the article and instead rushed to pen a wannabe snarky comment that was…
Making this tragedy about yourself is offensive. It is NOT significant that most of the protestors are male. Most of the protestors likely have white women at home, backing up all this bullshit just like they did when they were emboldened before:
Yep. Like I don’t really understand why this is so hard for people. When all the stuff about white women voting for Trump came out, I read the criticism, I read what POC women had to say, and then the stuff that I felt like I didn’t do, I gave myself a little pat on the back and moved on with my life. The stuff that I…
I think what Kelly is trying to articulate isn’t that white women shouldn’t hijack this moment and make it about themselves.
“You can listen to someone be frustrated and bitch about white women, even in an aggressive way, and CHOOSE to not take it personally.”
Also applies to gay white men thinking they’re POC.
It rhymes so that White people can memorize it like their favorite rap songs:
The dick can reach further when the cheeks are 100% out of the way!
God, I can see my body sweat fogging up those windows now.
