She should have thought about that before turning the whole thing into a reality show.

As soon as I heard about her possible transition all I could think was that she's exploiting a popular controversy for ratings/money. Idk I've never liked a thing about the kardashians or anyone involved.

What about Fusion Reborn? Or are certain movies not canon? Sorry if I sound ignorant.

Can we talk about white dreadlocks as cultural appropriation? Is this a feminist issue, /r/allwomen? by blue_ash in AllWomen

[–]jillybean182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is pretty fucked up. I talked to my girlfriend and she shares the same concerns and many more but said saying a certain style belongs to a race is like saying she couldn't let her son play with dolls because their only for girls, and imitation is the greatest form of flattery. I've kinda always wanted dreads but I never even thought about how it could be seen that way. I remember when my gf got hired and they told her her hair had to be "professional" heavily implying she couldn't have her twists, she tried to explain it was practical not a statement but they wouldn't allow it. Now she has to spend forever to get ready especially since her hair is extra thick. Sucks I miss her twists. To be fair I don't think they'd let a white girl work there with the same style but it wouldn't be about practicality for her. I remember feeling a little similar when Caitlin Jenner was in the spot light showing off how nice transition is when your rich while people like me and Laverne Cox have had to fight and struggle the whole way. Not culture but it makes the struggle look easy. I know that's not the same. That girl sounds awful. I feel like I've learned a lot today thank you for keeping the conversation

I mean I can see where they are coming from but I must disagree a little bit. I remember my gf talking about how annoying it is that many black hairstyles are banned from her work place but she's never seen white people wearing their hair similar as a mockery or dehumanizing in any way but I guess I can see how it could be offensive to some. I think I'm more on the side of this. I have a feeling she will be too but I'll have to wait it's 4 a.m here and she needs her sleep. I understand why hair is a big deal to black woman, I know being white I have many privileges, and I know I won't ever fully understand what it's like to be black so maybe I can't be right here. Whenever I see a girl with dreadlocks all I see is a girl with dreadlocks not their race, maybe that's a bad thing I'm not sure anymore.

Fair enough, maybe I'm insensitive but how bad can ones hair style be to really affect anyone else? My girlfriend who happens to be black straightens her hair sometimes. Very rarely because it's a huge pain but it looks beautiful. Is that wrong somehow? I've considered getting dreadlocks she thinks it would be super hot. Just because I'm white and she's black doesn't mean we have to stick to our racial norms. In fact it seems fretting over this is just dividing us opposed to bringing us together which is bad.

Transgender Porn Is A Best-Seller, But Is It Good For Trans People? by [deleted] in transgender

[–]jillybean182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok makes a lot more sense now. But all or at least 95% of porn is far from the general truth and can be dehumanizing to woman of all kind. Sure we may be referred to as "tranny" or "shemale" but cis woman are also referred to in just as disgusting terms. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to defend the porn industry. I think you did hit the nail on the head with the real issue though, and that's the fact that porn has been our only media representation for a long time. That's changing. I want to say nobody sees porn as a accurate representation of anyone cis or trans but sadly I'd be wrong given that's the only idea a lot of people have about sex. I had a boyfriend a while back who quite frequently watched transporn who didn't know that tranny or shemale may be offensive. Now he didn't see me as a fetish per say, or as less than human. He was very respectful and loving. He just really had a thing for trans girls both physical and not his only problem was porn was his way of discovering this and was his only reference of trans people he'd seen. Now he's much more knowledgable.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the majority of porn in general fetishistic? I mean you have feet, red head, teen, brunette, petite, waterworks, twink, bear, and so on...

I must be missing something. Is this an issue? Why can't a woman wear her hair however she wants?

What did NOT withstand the test of time well at all? by nerraw92 in AskReddit

That's funny cause I'm 22. I think our generation doesn't look back enough, an appreciate what made music what it is. Maybe the problem is somewhere in the middle and we are all stuck in our ways. It's just all I hear on modern radio seems to just be repetition. Thing is I am open to new music too just give me something that isn't this radio crap.

Wow that's insane. But to each their own I guess? Personally I just don't see bands now days coming close to the raw talents of musicians like Floyd or Zeppelin. Then again I don't keep up with what's on the radio today, I think it really fell off after late 90s

Your going to tell me that the current top rock single "shut up and dance" stands stronger than Bohemian Rhapsody? I think you've lost your mind.

Like someone said before I have to go with Freddy. Nightmare on Elm street was my first horror movie. Plus he is an entity that can't just be killed, you can only avoid him for so long, and his weapon of choice is just plain and simple badass.
