Anonymous asked: 2) Kaiser is the last person who should address social issues about race or women. CB is not diverse. All of the women of color left a long time ago. She wants to appear woke and she isn't. BTW Ted Cruz is only half white Cuban, his mother is American. Marco Rubio is a white Cuban but he is fully Hispanic. No one I know in my community thinks of Cruz as a Latino. He does everything he can to distance himself from us and hurt us legislatively.

Anonymous asked: 1)As to your comment about Kaiser being progressive. I don't think she is progressive at all. She was deleting comments from progressives or any criticisms about Clinton during the campaign even before the primaries. It steadily got worse. Her comments about the percentage of white women voting for GOP isn't totally wrong. She just isn't well enough informed and lacks the logic and ability to address the issue intelligently.

It is a difficult issue to discuss. But I want to brag a little bit about my county, and the black girl magic and hopefully lighten the mood a little bit. ))) We did good -  19 black women elected judges out of 19 that ran in my county. Not all of Texas is deep red, and not all of it is hopeless.

Anonymous asked: So if Meghan gets a pass for everything.... why did they feel the need to rip Kate to shreds and constantly attack her on previous occasions - going back years? Isn't that a bit hypocritical? It just screams of envy, jealousy, and miserable bitterness towards Kate imo.

Anonymous asked: This is a total 180 from her previous stance - somebody called them out for their horrible stance on the maternity leave convo and she changed her view. Another example: Whenever posters rightly criticise MM for her excessive spending, they always flip flop, twist themselves into knots to try and justify, essentially, what they have been slagging off in Kate for a number of years.

Anonymous asked: I know ppl might get fed up of all the Kate asks, but this seems to be one of a few places where people can talk about the double standards and hypocrisy which run rife in the Royal comment section. For example, one of the "Kate does NOT deserve maternity leave - she needs to get back to work NOW" posters, is now flip flopping by commenting that she thinks every woman does deserve maternity leave/rest regardless of whether women work or not.

Anonymous asked: It's not only Celebitchy that goes with the speech "white women" are responsible for the patriarchy. This is a speech that is becoming bigger in every place and although there is responsability on white women that support a misogynistic system, that way of thinkingt take the attention from white men that created and keep working hard to keep the system.

I really don’t believe anybody should be held  responsible for other people’s choices just because they share the same skin color. But every decent person, regardless of their skin color, should be helping those who are oppressed or disadvantaged.

I really hate to be the ahole here, because I know that a great deal of you in Texas and in other parts worked very hard on these elections and with getting the vote out and educating people on issues. And far be it from me to bring race into this conversation so quickly, but exit polls indicate that roughly 60% of white women in Texas who voted, voted for Ted Cruz. The numbers are even worse for the governor’s election in Georgia, where 76% of the white women who voted voted for Kemp over Stacey Abrams.”

I really don’t understand how something like this is helpful, and this is peak Celebitchy right here. What is point of this comment? I am a white woman in Texas who voted for Beto, I knew it was a long shot, this is Texas after all. But I did my part in bringing the vote to only 3% difference between Beto and Cruz.  And, of course, I was disappointed that it wasn’t enough.

So, now let’s beat women like me, who are already facing the uphill battle in  Texas, over the head with the fact that Texas is a deep red state where a lot of people vote Republican. Because that is going to make me feel so much better! 

And this is not even about race. Beto is a white American, while Cruz is hispanic. Cruz is actually a minority here. This is about class  - rich vs. poor. Wealthy people vote Republican, evangelicals vote Republican, and yes, most of those people are white. 

Sometimes progressives in the US don’t see the forest for the trees. Some of them are conditioned to see everything in terms of racial or sexual discrimination and they are completely oblivious to the main societal struggle  -  the wealth inequality struggle. And this CB comment is a prime example of that.

Additionally, according to  the stats 71% of white men voted for Cruz, and 59% of white women, So, actually more men voted for Cruz , but in the usual Celebitchy fashion, it is only women who get grief.

Anonymous asked: Do you ever tire of all the questions being about Kate or Meghan? Lol. I sincerely don't know why anyone cares anymore. These two women lead pampered lives of luxury provided by the UK taxpayer. If I had to choose I guess I am partial to Meghan but it doesn't mean I dislike Kate at all. In fact I think royalty is a ridiculous institution in 2018. I really don't understand why so many come here and complain about CB and how they are about Kate. It has been years of this. It is nothing new.

The Kate hate is nothing new, but it did get more vicious since Meghan appeared.

I know why people come here -  they want to voice their opinion. And they are not allowed to do so on CB. Since this is why I created this blog to begin with, I am completely fine with that.

As far as royalty is concerned, I think it is an insult to all of us who are not aristo. I mentioned this before, - accepting aristocracy and royalty as normal means you accept that your station in life is lower than theirs simply because you weren’t born to the “right” parents, and that some people are simply better than others because of their genes. I will never accept that. It might upset some people, but this line of thinking is not far from racism and has no place in the modern world.

Anonymous asked: How is Kaiser dumb enough not to realise "people tell me to give the baby booze to get her to sleep haha" is a JOKE? Does she genuinely think Brits habitually get newborns drunk??

Yeah, I don’t know. It is obviously a joke.

What happened to the post where Kaiser said something along the lines that braids are inappropriate for Sam Johnson’s  age and statue? I wanted to check it out again, and I can’t find it. Is it gone? 

Anyway, I loved Sam’s braids and her dress. And, yeah. Kaiser your shouldn’t be telling women what is appropriate and what is not “for their age”. I also loved Emily Blunt’s dress -  it is comfortable and interesting at the same time. It is something I would wear.
