I think "good looking white girl" could get away with this too.

I want them to try it on grown-ass-out-of-their-20s women in NYC. Please come try it boys.

I think it's a matter of *how* you take up space, not how much space you physically take up.

"Feelings don't represent reality, and no one is suggesting they are."

Feelings don't represent reality, and no one is suggesting they are. But our body chemistry influences the way we move through and interpret the world. It's not stupid, it's the way we're made. It actually happens to you every day without you even realizing it.

This article and the results of these studies are not suggesting that taking up more space on a bench makes you more powerful. They are suggesting that it makes one *feel* more powerful.

This is so awkward and sad and nauseating and eye-rolling all at the same time.

Was anyone else not drunk and/or high and still doesn't remember their first time, but knows it definitely happened and who it was with? Bad sign?

Never a more perfect time for this quote:

Yup, I had the same response.

Ima let you figure that one out.

No, that's not the main takeaway.

Ok, this Perez/Gaga feud is totally fake. Has to be a publicity stunt.

That's not the point, tho. They can do whatever the fuck they want, just stop telling us how totally madly crazy in love you are with your wife. Enough already. We get it.

Yes, it's actually great to lose focus during meditation, because the practice is choosing to come back to the present over and over. You strengthen your practice every time you catch yourself thinking/reacting/etc. and come back to the present.

Meditating is a practice of deliberately and consciously choosing what to focus your attention on, so it is not the same as what happens just before or during sleep.

Meditation does help with this. Even just focusing on your breath for 10 minutes, and kindly bringing yourself back to your breath when you get lost in thoughts. Let the breath start in your belly, and try to make your exhale longer than your inhale. Works wonders.

I'm not totally clear on what you're saying here, but from the gist of it, I will say this: feminism isn't trying to change the world's aesthetics. It is trying to dismantle and rebuild the foundation. And it is working, actually, albeit very very slowly.

I'm not blaming a group of people for this; I'm blaming the systems that we're all engaged in, in one way or another. Straight white males certainly benefit from these systems the most, and I think the majority of white men, whatever their sexual orientation, could be doing a lot more to deconstruct the system. But I…

Not sure how you inferred that I blame white men for this. I don't. I'm pointing to white patriarchy.
