I thought I recognized those two weirdos at the back of "how to protest too much" class at the Learning Annex.

well congrats to you, you've made me hate mansplaining and these two with every microbe of my little black heart.

This baby will never be sick. A filthy sidewalk in NYC has fortified this child's immune system to levels never seen before.

Exactly. There's even a name for it. It's called the halo effect. Men are subject to it too. However, men are allowed to make up for not being conventionally attractive by having talent, money, intelligence or a great sense of humor. Women are viewed as only being worthy if they are attractive. Whatever good…

And those with good jobs can afford the one billion beauty products and fancy clothes it take to appear attractive. It's a cycle.

Selfies are just self-portraits, something that has been around as a valued art form for a long time. Anything will sound vapid if you shorten it by half and add an -ies to the end: Noble Prize Winners - Nobies, cannibals - cannies, humanitarian - humies, surgeon - surgies, etc.

Why does everyone seem mad about this? Girls and young women who grew up with social media don't view it as some extraneous activity that exalts their vanity or wastes their time. For a lot of young women, social media is socializing, especially in an age where three hour phone conversations of my teenage years are…

Or, while most of us are affected to some extent by media and the need to be beautiful/failing beauty ideals, many people do not and have not and will not consider their selfies very serious. Like, at all. Many people struggle with accepting their appearance but I am so confused by this idea that every woman who posts…

I was hoping it was something like this:
