Just like art, it is up to the viewer to decide what conversation they want to have. Neither an artist or a protestor can force viewers to have a singular interpretation.

I also love making sweeping generalizations about a stranger's knowledge on this forum. The smaller the data sample the better!

It's what you do with your life, not how long you lived it, that matters when it comes to life experience. I've lived enough to draw a parallel to the following quote:

Men like this infantilize women, so women (they believe) will not have the confidence to leave them. They want to keep their wives, if not barefoot and pregnant, at least without the skills and confidence needed to have a career that could support them well. Similarly, at work, they define their secretary's role as part mother, part wife, so they always will be taken care of. Finally, they are so dependent upon the regard of their male colleagues, bosses, and oftentimes even their subordinates, that they will violate their own sense of ethics rather than face the possibility of not being one of "the boys."

She's not that young, she's been doing music for a decade and working service jobs till now. And you can understand something and still feel it is unacceptable.

Given that the amount of habitable land will decrease causing mass migrations, you don't need a 1 to 1 ratio to maintain a population size.

I imagine the joy is similar to an addict learning they can cook their fix at home.

How we view that past is how we treat the present. The fact Nat Turner's family has not gotten closure is reflected in our more modern acts of racism.

Holy fuck they made purses out of the guy and they're still figuring out which skull is his. What. The. Fuck.

Wish tumbleweed was on there, considering how it was used to undermine American farms.
