Yeah, for all his faults detailed in the comments, his willingness to say “feminism is an active thing and people gave me a lot of attention for being a feminist recently when notably I was failing at walking the walk” is pretty commendable.

Oh my god. I could watch this forever!

I don’t hate them but they’re nothing to write home about.

This is my feeling entirely about the #freethenipple movement. I support it because I generally support topfree rights but all this Instagram business with people rallying behind thin, conventionally attractive women’s right to show post photographs of their naked breasts would be so much less likely to happen if…

That’s fair, but I think it is important, regardless of who is running or most frequently visiting this Facebook page (which by the sounds of some of the other commenters who have been more willing than I to actually look at...it is the case that it’s mostly men), to keep in mind that this is not a trait exclusive to…

Re: patriarchy’s fetishization of thinness, I found it pretty notable that Tess Munster’s breasts seemed to get perkier but not necessarily smaller in the ‘shopped versions.

My understanding was that there was a significant portion of FPH users who were a) women and b) people who posted to eating disorder subreddits.

Given the name of this (“Operation Harpoon”), it reminds me a LOT of FatPeopleHate on Reddit. If I recall there was a pretty significant amount of cross-over people FatPeopleHate and eating disorder recovering subreddits.

Except Harry from Mad Men, who is surprisingly supportive though seemingly only because he gets free stuff out of it.

I sort of always feel like these wax figures don’t look that much like the people they’re based on—or at least don’t look as eerily lifelike as we’re meant to believe (I am among those that thought that Nicki Minaj figure was pretty good, though. And Ed Sheeran’s, as per recently discussed, is pretty dead-on).

I love him and would love more of him (especially now that his podcast’s been cut down to once a month) but I definitely disagree. The format of Last Week Tonight is a breath of fresh air. I’d hate to see that go, much as I love him and The Daily Show.

Pudsy is still the real deal, though.

This site used to ban people from commenting for anything even resembling body shaming and now it’s completely fine to tell people “if you’re embarrassed about your weight lose weight fatty” or to call people “hamplanets”? My opinions about this specific plane issue aside, that’s pretty ridiculous.

Cool, fine if you feel that way.

I don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibility to think that someone directly involved with someone else who is very politically outspoken might be sincere when she says she’s doing something to spread a political message.

Well, she says she wanted to draw attention to this issue and I believe her. She is MIA’s drummer. It doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility to me at all that activism was at the forefront of her mind.

It makes perfect sense. She finds them absurd personally but recognises that it’s a need for some people and it’s a choice other women might make. It is possible to have no interest in something personally but to be fine with other people using it. Again, to quote Kiran Gandhi herself (emphasis mine):

Gandhi’s statement:

She also made a statement about girls who don’t have access to such things.

It’s been considered perfectly acceptable for long distance runners to piss and shit themselves for years now. And the bleed from the nipples. If you didn’t feel immense shame regarding your period at any point in your life, good for you. But many other women did and for them this is a massive statement. And I hope if…
