On nohomophobes.com: lol at the “we no longer tolerate racist language” bit under their about me, but otherwise a powerful site. I know what they’re getting but… lol.

I complete agree! I definitely have a hard time wrapping my head around it, too. I have so many conflicting thoughts with Slutwalks because I support the ideas it stands for, but am still uncomfortable with some of the collateral damage – like walking around with little clothes for a major feminist awareness campaign might [...]

Okay sure, sorry for misunderstanding – I kinda cast a wide net and hoped something stuck. Maybe this is more of what you’re looking for? 1) I think that the racist tropes that are used are a pretty big part of the story: it has a negative impact on WOC because it makes the potential [...]

Sure! Thanks so much for your input – Angel beat me to the punch a bit, but here are a few points that I hope address your questions: 1) Generally, sexuality is usually presented and talked about in a white racial frame.

A SYTYCB entry Hanna Rosin from the Atlantic recently asserted that the elusive “college hookup culture” contained elements of female sexual liberation and empowerment. As a recent college graduate, I agree with most of her general sentiment – I firmly believe that the hookup culture is more nuanced than the ubiquitous, pearl-clutching “Oh no! Premarital sex!

From what I understand, a lot of the negative response comes from the “for real” at the end of the tweet, which can be interpreted as referring directly to Jay-Z and Kanye with a racial slur (although asterisked), so I can see why the tweet was ambiguous (because it could also be interpreted as the [...]
