But how crusty do you have to be to ask the person you just insulted to come on your show (and boost your ratings)?

Not a good look. Abdoh’s been explicit his insecurities. Hopefully, he can recover with a strong collection. He should reach out and put some shine on up and coming African designers like Colrs Baby.

Carol Channing had a great attitude and great talent. Miss her.

That would be a fair assumption in a more general discussion about the marriage of minors, but the article above doesn’t make any mention of stupid kids asking their parents’ permission to make life-changing decisions with other stupid kids. The article only mentions minors being married off to adults, where parental…

Every time I look at Virgil’s creations, I get a chill and such a feeling of pride to see what he is accomplishing. I loved that black jacket that represents African and America. 

The houndstooth suit and coat are amazing.

Just a heads up Maiysha, this Whiggly character here trolls the Root regularly by accusing people of color of being anti-Semitic. A sample of his work:

The glow in the dark bags and shoes! This show was terrific from the music to the staging. I loved the draping. There was something for every man.

The turmoil that the Women’s March is undergoing was a tough one, and I was relieved when I saw you were the author of this piece.

Is your predominantly black audience expected to be familiar with the daily beast?

The Mallory stuff is beyond problematic. Your quote of Sarsour, though? You can quit that shit. There is nothing remotely controversial about that quote.  You have some others, you can come with them.  But to use that as pinnacle of what you must see as her alleged anti-Semitism.  Nuh-uh, come again.

Agreed on the exhausting-ness of men except my issue is the exhausting SAMENESS. Under 40s want a stripper/co-signer/mother, Over 40s want a cook/mother/fetish model. Educated, intelligent ones are still Neanderthal emotional illiterates, Unschooled ones are Neanderthal illiterates who admire Rick Ross’ approach to…

Also, because football without black men would just be...rugby.

I don’t really know how to measure the amount of “credit” the different writers here get, but I do know writers who cover fashion and beauty are often considered lightweight. I love how the Glow Up shows the complicated politics at work in everything, from thin eyebrows to the Women’s March. And I love the way Ms. Kai…

The Jez article from November? (https://theslot.jezebel.com/linda-sarsour-tamika-mallory-and-the-long-shadow-of-l-1830563850)

lax & permissive are synonyms. Parental consent is a very low bar when there is a concern that parents are forcing the marriage in the first place.

“It’s a de-facto ban.”

Can a thirteen-year old legally drive if they get parental and court approval? And is a driver’s license less significant than a marriage license?

I agree, wholeheartedly, with EVERYTHING you have said. Two months after my 17th birthday, I was married to a man 18 years my senior. My parents arranged the marriage. I believe that no one under the legal age of entering into a contract should be able to marry. No exceptions.

It strikes me as an adjunct to the topic of family-based migration, especially in the situation described where the young woman has US citizenship or legal immigrant status and can be forced into a marriage to sponsor someone else.
