    I liked thejacket as well. I liked that whole costume.

    The Most Dangerous Woman in Videogames - Anita Sarkeesian

    Thank you thank you thank you. It absolutely astounds me that you can say what you've said, and I assume people have said that many times already, and certain people on the Net can still shout, "She got too much money!" Honestly, her most recent work has a lot of polish to it. I disagree with...

    The Big Picture: Baggage

    Seven minutes of my life just to hear him say, "There is no normal." Ah, well. Maybe next week.

    Poll: Would you take a pill that makes you bisexual?

    1) "I like my sexuality" does not mean "I like girls" or "I like boys." It means "I like liking girls but not boys" and "I like liking boys but not girls." 2) The people who don't want the pill perceive becoming bisexual to BE a negative side effect. 3) No, it doesn't. You can have sex...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    Thank you very much for your 2 cents. I hope you speak more, because your comment was measured and intelligent. You mentioned the media, which I think has been sorely overlooked in this thread. I was in a bookstore a few weeks ago and decided to check the magazine racks to see how many white...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    Read more of the thread. People call back to him and his overtly racist statements all the time. The main point of the thread, however, is whether the stated idea itself is inherently bad, not whether it's bad because it sits in this guy's brain next to ideas of beastiality.

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    You're absolutely right; you can't know what it's like to date a person of a different race withou dating a person of a different race. You CAN know whether you find that person attractive, and people generally don't date people they don't find attractive.

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    Eating pizza is like evaluating women to a romantic end. You and I both know you understand me; please stop feigning misunderstanding as a rhetorical tactic. I should ask you from these posts of yours: does a person have the right to evaluate another person for romantic potential and decide...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    And *once again* I disagree with you. I don't MIND that the conversdation has a bit of a tangent in it that discusses the Sleepless in Austin guy in a direct way. Me writing a forum post about this subject this week means that was likely to happen anyway. Someone would have pointed to one of the...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    The analogue isn't dating multiple women of X race, but romantically evaluating multiple women of X race and not finding any of them to tickle your fancy.

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    A lot of people are using the following argument around here: "You can say that you haven't been attracted to anyone from a cetain race yet, and that's okay, but to then extrapolate that you never will find a person of that race attractive is racist." I want to challenge that. Say a man...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    I disagree. I left in what I left in because the article itself has pictures and paragraphs that loudly insinuate that just not wanting to date a black woman is racist and, furthermore, despicable. Later on in the article, they showcase his more overtly racist comments, but that idea is clear in...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    I agree; he is racist. That's why I didn't mention him specifically. The other things he's said clearly paint him as a racist, but I wanted to know what others thought about just saying, "I won't date black women." I didn't want t obfuscate the issue.

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    Well, the word ain't "racist," because that's HATING people or finding them inferior based on their race. And I don't think anyone has actually said anything that looks like "any amount, big or small..." You're not dealing fairly with the question. Most people don't have dating pools that...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    I was on a feminist website recently and came across a post that blasted some white guy's website devoted to finding him the perfect girl. They took issue with his high standards on appearrance and education, which really doesn't seem like something big enough to warrant public shaming by a...
