“We Call It A Movement”: Couple Releases Photography Book To Elevate Beauty Standards For Black Kids

Demi - perfect reply in my opinion. Thank you for putting into words what I couldn't.

“We Call It A Movement”: Couple Releases Photography Book To Elevate Beauty Standards For Black Kids

"Redefine beauty standards" usually means showing how normal people are beautiful too, not just models, without the need for makeup, photoshop, elaborate costumes and sets. This goes exactly the other way. These are perfect kids, perfect faces, perfect weight, perfect skin, perfect makeup, etc. They are absolutely stunning, no doubt, but his isn't 'empowering black beauty' in my book. This is 'empowering perfect people in perfect circumstances who happen to have dark skin'.

People Are Applauding This Mom For Teaching Her Daughters That Virginity Doesn't Exist

I feel like this is, again, an American thing. America is so big on violence = fine, sex = bad and virginity is such a big deal (but only for women, men don't have to be virgins ever). Here in NL virginity isn't a big deal. The only thing we hear about here, is that your first time should be special, too, and not just a one night stand because you feel you need to have had sex.

People Are Applauding This Mom For Teaching Her Daughters That Virginity Doesn't Exist

You forget the “too” and ranted about something I didn’t say. I said the first time should be special TOO, just like every other time. Some kids feel they should lose their virginity before a certain age and thus have sex just to lose their virginity. You shouldn’t do that, the first time should be the same as every time, special. For one person special means having sex because they like it, for others its having sex with someone they’re in a serious relation with, but it’s never ‘having sex because you feel pressured into losing your virginity’.

Why would they ever become whores and get bastard children? Not caring about virginity is not the same as having sex for money or having children. You're mentally ill.

Not very difficult. Present yourself as a s**t and even the not so pretty ones get plenty of swipes. Most people on there are just looking for casual sex dates.

Guy Shares His Reasoning Behind Refusing To Give A Pregnant Lady His Bus Seat, People Are Not Convinced

So why does he have to give up his seat and none of the others do? Anyway, you’ll always be the asshole when it’s about breeders, because they are somehow holy and untouchable. I agree with the guy. She made a choice, live with it.

35 “Invisible” Privileges That Most People Don't Notice Because They Have Them

So everything that is not bad, is a privilege? I was lucky to be born in a first world country, but you can also choose to move to one, or seek asylum. We work hard for affordable healthcare and pay taxes. Many things on this list are not privileges at all.

35 “Invisible” Privileges That Most People Don't Notice Because They Have Them

I think it is important to be thankful for the good things we get in life so thank you for listing all this positivity. :) I would, however, not call most of those "privileges" as this is something that has a negative ring to it. Privileg is often used to describe a somewhat undeserved/unfair advantage, given by some form of authority. Today you kinda feel bad if you find you have a privileg and this list is surely nothing to feel bad about. Lets just call it "Things we are thankful for". ;)

This seems very far fetched, like almost all stories about women from America. You’d think they get abducted, raped or killed around every corner. Maybe they should watch a little less crime series on tv.

Anyone noticed they are now using recaptcha to verify we aren't bots? I wonder if they'll fix all the downvoted to oblivion statements or just leave them? I just gave everyone an upvote so we can read the comments again (for now)

It's not that high quality mendable stuff isn't being made, it's just that most people don't want or can't pay what that actually costs.

50 Items That Have Withstood The Test Of Time

I love this. Items used to be made to last and to be repaired fairly easily; now it is all about planned obsolescence/being built to break after a few years. I still have my Sony alarm radio clock I got when I was in 9th grade (I’m 46 so that was a long time ago) and it still works perfectly. Probably one of the last things they made before quality took a nosedive.

50 Items That Have Withstood The Test Of Time

There's some sad trolling going here by voting down lots of valid comments. I'm sure I'll get it, too. In recent times, the standard business model is planned obsolescence, meaning thing are made to break after a couple of years or so. This is simply so that businesses can keep selling their products because people have no choice but to replace things. We deliberately get sold lower quality materials in our goods when, as this post shows, we could have things that will last for ages.

50 Items That Have Withstood The Test Of Time

Things used to be built to last. It's sure not the case nowadays.

50 Items That Have Withstood The Test Of Time

Everything in our house is old. We have an MCM time warp house, although I do have 30s furniture in the kitchen and 40s in the master bedroom. Everything else is 50-70s. My engagement ring is from the 1920s. We love cool old stuff and try not to buy new made in china things when possible.

50 Items That Have Withstood The Test Of Time

It just goes to show that top quality can last a lifetime.
