Judgemental much? God beware women wanting partnership and family, with men you don’t approve of!

To be fair, this guy isn’t really a Brock. His real name is Takeshi.

Even this barely curly white woman has had her hair touched. I don’t even want to imagine how it’s like for black women.

Maybe the skirt thing was aimed at Mayim Biyalik (sp?) for her piece on sexual harassment in Hollywood?

While German has female, male and neutral nouns and pronouns, just like English, using “it” as the third option for gender-neutral persons is dehumanizing.

I’m a white woman living in Japan with my Japanese husband. The number of white men telling me Japanese guys were the worst fit into a Venn diagram circle with white men who have Asian wives.

Before you call others morons, maybe learn how to spell? And some empathy would be great, too.

So we can’t know for sure. I think both are used.

I’m not sure I agree with that. Maybe my friends all talk super politely, but I’d have to see a statistic.

Maybe she’s on a scholarship?

I don’t think 女の人 is used more often than 女性. Im fact, I mostly only hear 女性 or a plain 女.

It’s こんにちは, though: ko n ni chi wa(ha)

If I view this correctly, they took out 女人, which seems Chinese to me, and left 女性(josei) which is Japanese. I only speak Japanese, though, no Chinese.

I think marrying a foreigner sounds worse to Japanese than marrying a commoner.

Isn’t it sad that sometimes a fictional medieval country like Tortall with all its problems deals with rape better than a real one in 2017?

I found it okay, but I mostly brought it up because it is super honest about her divorce from Peter Marc Jacobson.

Have you read Fran Drescher’s Cancer Schmancer?

Japanese? Five weeks? In Japan, you’re lucky if you can take five days.

At least Asians can definitely grow armpit hair. My husband is hairy all over, but he can’t grow a beard.

This German agnostic agrees. I still don’t tell Germans about my Jewish ancestors. Once, a friend told me she wished “the Jews” would stop complaining so that she could stop hearing about WW2 history.
