The sexism issue is all contingent on how that tattooed man was treated by the management, which we don't know. I fully admit that I'm seeing a problem that is potentially not there based on the knowledge that Korean culture treats men better than women. IF this is true in this spa, which is in LA and not in Korea,…

absolutely.

Meh, if you're going into a Japanese place and they have signs in Japanese...it's your own fault if you can't read that, imo lol

If the business is treating tattooed women different than tattooed men, then this is not ok. To be fair, we don't know that as Ms. Cho just made reference to the fact that she saw a man - maybe he was just as bothered by management as she was. But if they ARE treated differently, this is a problem.

What about the heavily tattooed man who was also there and seemingly not bothered? Furthermore, the tattoos she has aren't banned - they were more than happy to accept her patronage and money for her services. She was asked to cover up because other patrons were uncomfortable because she was female and tattooed. If…

This is a great thing to do for her little brother! so cute!

If someone were to simply say "i'm pro-choice but not a feminist" while I may ask them to expand upon their beliefs, I wouldn't instantly assume that don't know what feminism is. I'm talking about people who fight against strict gender roles, fight for equality for all, for reproductive justice, against intimate…

Considering the great number of men and women who profess feminist ideals but are then quick to say "but I'm not a feminist," I can completely see where her point is coming from.

I can't speak for either party mentioned in this article about what they meant by imitating men, but from my experiences in the legal field, an extremely male-centric profession, women imitating men to get ahead is quite the norm. I'm not talking about simply pretending to like things that they don't really like…

I did end up vomiting on her couch. Karma's a bitch :-)

to read the label and know what the label means. I mean I still bad food too (as I sit here eating microwave popcorn) but now I *know* it and it's something I can make a conscious decision about when I choose to.

I have this debate with people all the time! Not all packaged, processed or prepared food is bad, it all depends on what is in it. My fiance used to work at a health food store, and we still got bagged chips, mac'n'cheese, etc just now in packages that we knew what all the ingredients were lol!

I agree with most of what you said. And while I don't think we should blame *specifically* people who choose to go GF for non-medical reasons, I think there is something to attacking the social viewpoint of going GF as a trend diet. Misinforming people about nutrition is not going to help our growing health problems.…

I have a mushroom intolerance - most people assume I make this up. I have had mushrooms either carelessly put in my food or deliberately put in my food to "call me out on my crap" (direct quote from a friend's gf), leaving me sick for hours. Super awesome

do you have a source for this?

First off, I'm sorry about your digestive problems, those are never fun. Secondly, if you've found a diet that works for you, keep at it and that's awesome. But just to say, gluten-free =/= non-processed foods. There are plenty of gluten-free processed foods. also, wheat =/= gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, barley,…

So if you're looking to be dominated and kept in a secondary position, it's easier to lean out? Is that what you're saying? (not confrontational - attempting to understand)

But these women AREN'T arguing that women should be just like them. They're arguing that women need to stop internalizing secondary status. This has nothing to do with working out of the home vs. in the home. You can lean in while staying home - taking charge of your children, staying on top of the home life, being in…
