Your write up was fine and absolutely clear. The headline was a little misleading but anyone reading the article would have it clarified. I have no idea what everyone is freaking out about MRA’s for since the outcome of this study was pretty unambiguous.

You mean, treat an ostensible friend like a friend (ie. Seek emotional support and request help with tasks)? You realise this stuff isn’t inherantly manipulative and that women can treat their female friends in similar ways ? Just because Timmy wants to fuck her but refuses to articulate it, doesn’t make her actions…

That assumes the hot party is unable to tell a genuine friend from a fake friend. Given the friendship was required for the hot person to assess the potential relationship partner in measures other than looks, being a fake friend whose only goal is to fuck someone hotter than you is not really going to showcase these…

Wait, you seriously think that if something isn’t animal tested it’s not safe? Like, all those cruelty free products just throw a bunch of stuff in and hope for the best and are somehow still legally allowed to sell their products? Have you never heard of “dermatological testing”? Because yeah, testing stuff on humans…

That’s why I refuse to buy MAC. Paula’s Choice had a pretty great and comprehensive list of companies who are genuinely cruelty free and those who sell in China. I say “great” but is actually just depressing how many brands I have had to boycott now.

It’s actually a lot better than they deserve.

You base your adult opinion on religion on evidence that was unconvincing to a child? Smart.

It is a really feminist show. This isn’t your Game of Thrones rape -every -woman -for -kicks kind of show. If there’s rape, it’s plot driven, it absolutely shows the impact on the victim and the women characters (who make up 80% of the cast) have agency and are really intelligent.

I love Reign. I used to get home from school and watch Caitlin on Neighbours when she was just a kid so I’m so so happy that she’s doing great things, not only acting wise but in the feminist space. Herself is glorious. Good Weekend is the shitty free magazine you get inside the weekend newspaper so it’s pretty much…

If you’re a history geek, the costuming shouldn’t be the only thing making you weep. It’s ridiculously inaccurate. But so entertaining.

While I agree with the rest of your comment, if you’re not strong enough to be there for your pet when it’s painful for you, then you shouldn’t have a pet. Or a kid. If you can’t hold your pet when it’s dying then how are you going to be if your kid is in hospital and needs you. You don’t do it because it’s pleasant…

This is the greatest. I am literally crying right now. Steam tractor for the trip to the cemetery, drag hearse to arrive at the church (and pull some mad donuts and smoke the tyres on arrival in the church carpark.

A happiness survey in Australia has just shown married men and unmarried women are happier. I’ve basically left every LTR in utter frustration about how I’m expected to essentially mother a grown - ass man, so I can vouch for those findings and will be happily single for the foreseeable future.

I’ve been to the Korean beauty subreddit for product recommendations. Never participated though. I honestly find the whole layout and format really confusing, busy and difficult to read. The whole “voting up comments get to the top” thing is a bit of a wank as well. But yeah, I’ve been a been a very active participant…

The same ones who think women have babies just to collect welfare and live like kings. Dickheads, basically.

It’s like the buskers on the Paris Metro who wheeled a goddamn amp onto the carriage and proceeded to shriek through 5 stops before coming up to every individual passenger and sticking their hand under our faces asking for money. You’ve just assaulted my ears and now you want me to pay for the privilege? Fuck off…

My mum had short, Mia Farrow hair her entire life and still worked out how to plait and braid our hair in pre-YouTube days. I call bullshit.

If he ordered food off the menu then presumably the Chinese people who run the restaurant don’t have a problem offering those items. But by all means, let’s make this all about you.

Must be a slow news day. Australia is full of magpies who will not only swoop you, but draw blood pecking you. I had to walk to school with an icecream bucket with eyes drawn on the back when I was a kid.

And it’s in quotation marks, so are they saying that it’s not actually a real fact?
