Shaving is the pits: Take up arms with Lena Dunham, Madonna and Miley in the fight against body hair oppression

Yes, women are being urged to "stand up for equality" by growing bushy pits. Lena Dunham has proudly made it the number one item on her "2 Do List," even above important things like a self-tan from the knees down and using her "feminine powers" to get what she wants (like iced-tea refills). And to make it even more exciting, there are prizes to be won! First prize is 100 condoms, second is a vibrator, and third prize is 10 female urination devices (which allow women to urinate while standing up, like men).

Apparently shaving is an offensive Western patriarchal intrusion on women's rights. Who knew? "Women's underarm hair can be adorable, interesting, humorous, sexy, serious, connotative and ever-changing," we're told at Shanghiist.

I wonder if deodorant is next?

Maybe they could just tattoo armpit hair on, like some women do with their eyebrows, and have the best of both worlds.

Be hygienic, sexy, AND pc - all at the same time

Did NAACP president lie about her race? City investigates

SPOKANE, Wash. - The City of Spokane announced Thursday it's investigating whether the president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP violated the city's code of ethics in her application to serve on the citizen police ombudsman commission.

Rachel Dolezal serves as chair of the independent commission, in addition to her work as an adjunct faculty member at Eastern Washington University and president of the NAACP local chapter. On her application to serve on the commission, she identified herself as African-American. But public records, including Dolezal's own birth certificate, list her biological parents as Ruthanne and Lawrence Dolezal of Montana. The Dolezals told KXLY Thursday that Rachel is their biological daughter and that they are both white...

...

On the NAACP Spokane Facebook page, a picture was posted earlier this year showing Dolezal and an African-American man. In the post, he's identified as Dolezal's father. KXLY4's Jeff Humphrey asked Dolezal about that claim Wednesday afternoon.

"Ma'am, I was wondering if your dad really is an African-American man," Humphrey asked.

"I don't understand the question," Dolezal answered. "I did tell you [that man in the picture] is my dad."
"Are your parents white?" Humphrey asked. At that point, Dolezal removed the microphone, ended the interview and walked away.

KXLY4 was interviewing Dolezal Wednesday about several hate crimes she's reported over the last several years. Most recently, Dolezal said she received a packet of hateful letters and pictures at the NAACP post office box in North Spokane. That crime led to rallies of support outside Spokane City Hall.

Police are still investigating, but say in reports that whoever placed the mail must have had access to the box, as it was not processed through the regular mail. Dolezal denied any implication that she was responsible.

Dolezal says she's been the victim of eight documented hate crimes in Idaho; a public records request filed by KXLY yielded just three reports. Each was closed by police because of insufficient evidence to prosecute.

Elizabeth Warren all over again. The interesting thing is that for any race except for Native American you don't have to prove you're that race. You can just claim it. For Native American you have to show youre a member of a tribe. Which is interesting. About four miles down the raid from me is a house. In it lives the solo surviving member of a California Native American Indian Tribe. The property for the house is the reservation. The guy is in something like 70's. He receives about $800,000 a year for the tribe from the federal government. He's got "people" taking care of him and taking that money. Last I heard they were trying to get a casino.

What? Being a woman isn't enough "victimhood" for her so she does herself up as black?!?

My female being currently out of town and not handy, can a female here tell me how much it costs to have that hairdo to look African American? She can probably take it off her taxes as work related. Well, maybe the 'do' and the tanning. How much does that all cost to maintain?

My girl is right here. Says, the hair? $200, every 3 - 6 months. And the tanning, $30 - $50 per month, maybe. Depends a lot on where you go and what the local prices are

Why are we still having the shaving conversation? Shave or do not shave. It is not an "empowerment" issue. It is a personal body care issue.


Pretending to be black? Umm. . . what the hell? Is this like anorexia or being transgendered where what your body looks like is not the way you think/feel it should look like? Or those people that think they should be an amputee or blind?

I recall reading a sci-fi story where the protagonist had himself changed into a tree. Is that next?

Well I don't know. My property is populated with oaks and pines. If your protagonist made himself into...say...an elm tree he couldn't claim any of my property as his ancestral right. But, I may have a battle on my hands if he chooses to be an oak. I'd probably be made to pay reparations.

Or at least be made to re-distribute fertilizer, sunlight, and water. In fact you would probably owe them a plant light and be required to put in a special irrigation system. You DO live in California.

Stop making excuses for Rachel Dolezal: The Spokane NAACP official’s fraud is unforgivable

quote:


But based on what is currently known about Dolezal, this is not a case of feeling more comfortable within a different culture. The Chicago Tribune reports that “Rachel Dolezal has said she has biracial parents, was abused by a step-father, and lived in South Africa as a child. Her parents say they are white. They also say she never had a step-father, and though the couple did live in South Africa, it was from 2002 to 2006, it was after Rachel had left the house and married.” And the Washington Post notes that her father told them that “When Rachel applied to Howard University to study art with a portfolio of ‘exclusively African American portraiture,’ the university ‘took her for a black woman’ and gave her a full scholarship.” The family also says that she has claimed that her now 21 year-old adopted brother, who is African American, is her son.
