This is going to sound incredibly cruel or thoughtless but no.

I'm going to kinder with my approach to this, because I get the feeling you, like the rest of us to varying degrees, have internalized the toxicity which is our beauty culture. I can't speak for anyone else but my vehement revulsion to your assertion is more a reaction to the fact that I pity you, and I hate, I mean…

"Who is she?"

That is unless your name is Fat Mike...

When someone asks you if you're a Rock Star, you say yes...

Bravo.

Hell yeah LeGuin is awesome, and way ahead of her time. But unless you're visiting the right bookstore you're not going to see much of her work, if any. :(

Not pictured: Marijuana, because it's bad for business.

You're confusing sex and gender. It's okay, that happens a lot, but the two are not the same.

Just to be clear, I'm not at all arguing for getting rid of monogamy, just that it is considered normative, and that's extremely problematic. But I do agree that sexism has its part in this too.

As always, love your take on things. If anyone is interested I know of a blogger who identifies as non-binary, and they are awesome. http://rainbowgenderpunk.wordpress.com/

That's one of the pitfalls of internalizing the idea that monogamy is the only acceptable form of romantic relationship. It's a perfectly valid choice, but it's certainly not the only choice, or necessarily the correct choice always.

Why does this remind me of every episode of Shark Tank? I'm thinking of those times where they basically tell scrappy up and coming business owners that they should just suck it up and deal with the fact that their product is going to have to be made in China. Because, you know, we're doing China a favor, and one day…

This could be taken the wrong way, but that's kind of awesome, in a Fight Club, yeah my breasts are that bad ass, kind of way.

My dad's side of the family has a lot of redheads. I'm not, but I certainly burn like I am. I've never really tried but I doubt I could even get a tan.

So if I understand correctly white women want to be darker, and women of color want to be lighter (there's an article either here or on Huffington Post about the popularity of skin lightening creams in certain Asian and African markets). I have an idea, why don't we just get together and help fuck the world beige? It…

That was the entire reason I made the statement you're quoted, to highlight the absurdity of their assumptions. I can agree I may not have been absolutely clear, but that's the point I'm making about this study. Perhaps for clarity I could have been more obvious but I didn't think that was necessary.

Just because it's too funny not to post when relevant.

Asmodaarl:

That's one of the problems with evolutionary psychology. The attempt here is to say that penis size may be related to selection and selection in this case is being equated to the decisions made by women throughout history. But that's not how selection works, and even if that were true, they're still going about this…
