I know most people love it, but I just keep thinking it's not going to seem real and that it's going to weird me out.<br /><br />I thought about the pregnancy analogy, too, even thought it's not as politically *fraught*.Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396296859297638787.post-81407958302554831272011-02-18T17:50:52.514-06:002011-02-18T17:50:52.514-06:00GEW: I stopped reading The Help.

Did you see that the author's family domestic is suing because the book seems to be about her? I think that's hilarious. <br /><br />Regarding the hair thing: I often thought it when I was pregnant and people kept trying to touch my belly. Also, not cool.The Steel Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328240056707198233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396296859297638787.post-12479299275461956382011-02-18T16:42:46.036-06:002011-02-18T16:42:46.036-06:00BTW, what did you think about The Help?BTW, what did you think about The Help?Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396296859297638787.post-51575700595073057712011-02-18T16:41:19.807-06:002011-02-18T16:41:19.807-06:00I think the strangeness of such a move might becom...I think the strangeness of such a move might become more apparent to white people if they thought about the reverse--someone, whether a person of color or not--reaching out to touch their hair. There is a weird sense of entitlement in such a move.Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.com
