"Lack the upper body strength for construction" Women? We either mean it when we say body shaming and societally defined gender roles suck or we don't. This is like making fun of a woman for not having "child-bearing hips".

It's so cute how you young girls like to try to feel old.
Look, it's obviously not an offensive photo and shouldn't have been deleted but holy fuck is this NEWS?
I just can't really clutch any pearls over this one. Like most women, I have a visceral reaction to the word cunt, but, honestly, where did people grow up where they DIDN'T hear discourse like this at least a little? I mean, we can absolutely say he shouldn't have "said it" in public, but what he said— and who he was…
This really needed an article? When Kunis said it I thought, "Sure. This is a throwaway line about something that bothers her in the same way people who say 'irregardless' probably bother me. You know, worth a quick mention, not really a political stance. I see where she's coming from." But sincerely, we needed a…
The word Redskin has a history. No, i's not on the same level as ni**er, but it still has a history that's worse than, say, cracker. It's a demeaning term kicked around from one group in power to another group that got, literally, slaughter.
I'm a black woman. I'm not part of the supposed "white guilt" stuff many of…
I feel plenty sexy after I've done a bunch of reps and a ton of cardio— I feel strong, in charge and primal.
Of course you don't know what else to do. Your'e a middle-class white girl and this is as much awfulness as you've faced in your life. You don't understand that while you correctly tell educated upper class white dudes to shut up and listen, it's also advice you should take, too.
My girl on girl fantasies I've had with her since high school have gone from nostalgia-fueled to grudge fuck.
No, she's just telling an unfunny joke and taking far too long to do it.
This... wasn't funny.
Wow. 1500 people surveyed. Amazing.
Same band. Cause.. all black singers apparently look and sound the same.
Let's not forget that we're not really encouraged to like sports.
They're out there— you just actually have to SUPPORT them. It's like the WNBA— I hear my fellow women lamenting all the time that it doesn't get enough love, and then 90% of them don't watch or contribute to the league in anyway financially. It's not enough to say, "These things should exist"— you actually have to…
This is a lie we picked on and unpopular kids told ourselves over and over again. It's not true— or I suppose I should say that popular kids don't go down hill after high school anymore than anyone else. It's a nice little story, but most of the people who picked on me or where simply popular assholes in my high…
It's the Lindy West Game: One Degree of Separation from Fat Shaming. Seriously, I breathlessly anticipate your next article where you start off talking about the death of printed literature and then spend half the time talking about that time someone looked at you twice in a book store because of fat shaming.
You didn't REALLY just compare a woman at a party dealing with a socially awkward person to the struggle for civil rights blacks faced in this country did you? Please tell me you didn't just do that.
So... being married allows this power dynamic to be a-ok? Wife as stripper, man covered up in a tux? As long as you've wed, this just totally erases any disparity here? Interesting.
When Miley (who I can't stand, let's be frank, but still) dresses like a stripped and gets down with a fully clothed Blurred Lines guy, it's a terrible power dynamic. But this here? This is ok? I don't get it.
