I had an ex-boyfriend who would get very upset if I wore shirts that he felt ‘emphasized’ my breasts. They are lumps on my chest, dude, anything I wear is going to change shape to accommodate them.

So it’s funny- I have a friend who has a teenage boy AND a teenage girl (but younger). A couple years ago she marched down to her son’s private school and demanded they address the issue of girls wearing too short shorts. This person is not normally like this at all— she’s a professional working mom and her politics…

Yep, that’s still current in my experience. Although Ugg boots have perhaps fallen out of favor a bit. When it’s warm, high-waisted jean shorts and midriff-baring tops are inexplicably back in fashion. When the weather breaks, half the girls in my class look like they’re extras from the set of Friends circa 1995.

The easy target in this piece and you go after this kid who had a reasonable response to a passing question?

Leggings, a North Face jacket, and Ugg boots. That’s been “the uniform” for a couple of years now. I remember fondly my college days of going to class in my pajama pants. Whenever somebody starts talking about “kids these days,” all I can think about is how, comparatively, my current students are much more put…

A middle-aged woman staring at young women’s butts sounds like the prelude to an interesting midlife crisis

Mothers of only boys are the most emphatic supporters of the “boys will be boys” theory. And they tend to be largely deferential to their sons. Please accept this generalization from a mother of only boys.

Nobody cares about your opinion of what they’re wearing though. Literally. No one. There’s not an adult in the world who is like “Gosh i hope jozee or some other stranger doesn’t think I’m a bum" when they slide on leggings. I really don't think it's a thought that even exist s. 

Can sometime please explain to me the big deal about a butt outline? Like, are we all supposed to go around pretending we don't have ass cheeks? I can't wrap my brain around this stupidity. do you not see the outline of my breasts in most shirts? Is this another thing that we're supposed to just pretend nobody has?

I’m confused because she says her sons weren’t staring but she couldn’t help but stare. Maybe Maryann should keep her eyes up towards Jesus at church. He’s got those bare, muscular thighs she can stare at.

Reminds me of when I was in college and some dude wrote a letter to the editor asking all female students to stop wearing cross-body messenger bags because it emphasized their breasts too much and made him think Impure Thoughts.

Before I even read about this woman I knew she had sons and no daughters. I have a few friends who have only sons and they are always bad-mouthing girls for tempting their poor innocent boys. It makes me furious. These are women who raise their sons with no sense of accountability.

Because women don’t exist unless they are somehow attached to a man...:/

is struggling to teach her sons that “women are someone’s daughters and sisters”

That sounds like a good plan, let’s do this going forward.

They should have been taken away the minute she decided to bring the piece of shit man who molested her older daughter back around after getting out of prison. I mean, jfc. Clearly she cares much more about herself than any of her children’s wellbeing. 

For you.

And Depp will continue and continue to abuse her, why are men like that.

...the lawsuit claims those allegations were “conclusively refuted by two separate responding police officers...

Yeah, using a defamation lawsuit to gossip like an old lady under the dryer at a beauty shop is pretty fucking rich.
