What Steph and Liese and ita said.

So if I, as the minority, have to be the one to educate the minority, I will have to do it ad inifinitum. I may be the only minority the majority person has ever encountered, but I have encountered many many of her.

Following up on this point, if a black woman asks me, Whitey McWhiterson Chick, if she can touch my hair, NBD. It's actually never happened to me. But white people asking to touch black people's hair, or even touching without asking, is ridiculously common and rude.

IMHO, the minority's obligation ends at "It's none of your business." A link is kindness.

I'd hate to think I was oppressing them with my testicles.

Is that a fancy way of saying "teabagging"?

Hey, it's me with another boobie-related delurking! I know there are Wacoal fans on here, so thought I'd share this deal from zulily.com: [link]

You CAN do that, IF YOU WISH, but it is not your obligation. If my husband says he's Jewish, is it okay for a stranger to ask if he is circumcised? Is he then obligated to "educate" him about Jewish customs? Assuming that because someone is in a minority you are interested in they are then obliged to answer your questions about themselves is a pretty big assumption.

I usually choose to at least give a link to one or two good resources in these cases, just because I know how much ridiculous stuff you'll get if you try to google information on pretty much any Jewish topic. Generally, at least one antisemitic site within the first page of results.

Glam, what's the deal? they want you to sign up to see it.

What it is is billyteabyou know what, I'm pretty sure I don't want to go there.

zulily has a deal on Wacoal bras. I'm a member because they do lots of mom/kids stuff, but the bra deals seem pretty good.

So, I bought two bras. I'm thinking I need to enjoy my new, pregnancy-enhanced boobs before they become sore and well-used. Which I don't mind, but I won't be thinking sexy bras at the time.

ION, have I mentioned that I look like Voldemort? Both eyes are now red, although the one is way less puffy and oozy and is just red and slightly puffy. This conjunctivitis is the sickest I've been since I had mono. No joke. I have done nothing but lay on the coach since Tuesday.

Please remind me I need to step away from Facebook and not keep responding to my cousin's post that's happy there are Planned Parenthood clinics closing in Texas.

This won't end well, I won't change her mind or her husbands and they won't change mine.

And they don't make comments on my political posts so I shouldn't make comments on theirs.

Actually I just went and deleted my comments. Which I think is the better thing.
