There is no way to advertise feminism as sexy enough, as fun enough, as “caring about men’s issues too” enough in order to satisfy misogynists.

The problem is not with how we market feminism - as if its a brand or a product - but the fact that so many men hate women and revel in our suffering. So long as feminism seeks to redress the abuse women endure there will be men who hate it. No matter how we dress it up.

Anybody here Korean or of Korean descent?

Or just knowledgeable on the topic, I 'spose If so, can you tell me a bit about Korean skincare products & any faves you might have? Also, can someone speak on whether or not there's some truth to the claim that Korean skincare science/products are leaps & bounds ahead of other countries?

Since you guys haven't seen me in awhile...

#yes i know im lookin washed out #flash people its flash

so i read the conversation you posted on here about race with a white colleague and i just got to say as a white female i send you a internet high five. it is in my opinion that one must accept and recognize different races in order to respect and form equality around them. not to be that one "white girl who has to be stand up for rights of everyone to make herself look good" (yes that has been said to me a plenty of times) but that was just fucking awesome. ok the end.

Much appreciated

It must be so comforting to be so racist you can allow yourself to blame all of your problems on white people. Try to come back at me with something a little more comprehensive than "HAHA LUK AT DIS IDIOT', and maybe actually address what I'm saying.

Um. Do I know you?

please tell me you were not implying that some of us, as white people, have to own up and be responsible for the wrong doings of some one we probably didn't even know. please tell me you are not suggesting that.

Please tell me you're not implying that the historical & current beneficiaries/perpetrators of white supremacy are not culpable for dismantling it. Please tell me you're not suggesting that.

White Colleague: Did you just call yourself Black?

Me: ummm, yes

WC: hunny, you're not Black.

Me: that's not really something you can decide for me. my father was black, very dark-skinned actually, & therefore so am I.

WC: let me ask you this- do you see color?

(she thinks she's setting a trap here)

Me: yes, I most certainly do. we all have unique cultures, histories, ethnicities, backgrounds & it's unfair & illogical to ignore them.

WC: well yes... but I'm colorblind because I know we're all equal.

Me: I never said we weren't. But let me ask you a question- if you're colorblind, then how do you know with such certainty that I'm not black?

I just found a self-constructed "thinspiration" scrapbook I made at 17 years old. There's all these pictures of incredibly thin white women juxtaposed with my own naked selfies, along with commentary about how disgusting I am in comparison.

I can't believe how much I hated myself because of my body and skin.

Ugh. Fucking tragic.

…the fact that the term “black-on-black crime” exists in our lexicon, but not the term “white-on-white crime,” is one of the clearest signs that racism is a guiding principle in this country. And all one needs to do is look at the facts: 94% of all crimes committed against black people are committed by black people; 86% of all crimes committed against white people are committed by white people. Surely, 86% is a number at which we can safely say that white-on-white crime is a very serious problem. Yet, we never do. The term is not in the dictionary. There is no Wikipedia entry for it. It is not browbeaten into the public consciousness. The media makes little to no mention of this term. There are no news specials dedicated to looking at this problem. Neither Oprah nor Barack have touched on the topic. As a result, black people are scapegoated and pathologized as especially criminal when, in reality, we are merely, pretty much, keeping pace with the rest of a society that thrives on violence. If black people are being asked to focus on black-on-black crime, then why aren’t white people being asked to focus on white-on-white crime? Why are some people so focused on black-on-black and black-on-white crime, but get upset when we focus on white-on-white or white-on-black crime?

“Mobility in the United States lags most other advanced industrial democracies.”

"There’s always been a gap between the wealthiest in our society and everyone else. But in the last 30 years, something changed. That gap became the Grand Canyon.”

"This is what America’s economic pie looked like in the decades after World War ll (1947-1977). Income gains were share by everyone with big portions going to average Americans. But since the late 1970’s, the bottom 90% have seen their share of the pie completely devoured by the top 1%.”
