Pro tip: eshakti.com. All the clothes are customizable (meaning you can change the length, sleeves, and neckline) and they’re made of quality fabric. And all the dresses and skirts have pockets by default.

I have seen you mention the water California has brought in from other states a number of times. As a native Californian, I ask you, what major reservoirs outside the state do you think we’re purchasing from on a government-support level?

Loving you for this reference.

I agree that looks like a wig because the part is very weird (and the bangs sit very high), but I think the hair texture itself is definitely believable. That big-straight-yet-frizzy soft kitten look is how my naturally quite curly hair used to look when I straightened it in my early twenties. It’s fine hair, there…

It wasn’t ‘odd’ so much as experience-dependent. Many other people who have since replied to me knew exactly what I was referring to. If you’re a person who wasn’t sexually active as a young teenager or knew people who were (hint: I did know many) then it might not strike you as noticeable.

Not what I did in the slightest.

That’s the logic, apparently. Extremely Not Okay.

This does remind me of that.

I have similar memories. Also some memories of kids in the same age bracket, but going way beyond typical age-appropriate experiences. I didn’t judge at the time (in fact, I felt stunted and jealous by comparison) but in retrospect it is so clear there was shady stuff happening, and outright abuse in a few cases.

Honestly, I’m surprised this was their trigger. It is a very dark kind of surprise.

I’m not making an argument, I made an observation.

So we’re defining 13-year-olds as sexually mature now, are we?

It’s not my responsibility to ‘get back to you’ about anything, rather (if you are as ardent a feminist as you seem like you are, as I am) it is your responsibility to consider women’s needs outside the vacuum of feminist spaces. You question, “Is their consent even informed by reality?”

Actually, you did, and it was that notion in specific that I responded to initially. I quoted you in my first response to you and emphasized the problematic phrasing for clarity, I’ll do so again here:

I disagree that lack of exposure and education is the issue (even though education — not to mention scientific inquiry — on women’s bodies is sorely lacking) because you’re still arguing that women shouldn’t be able to make the choice for themselves based on the world they live in. It doesn’t matter if a woman is…

The use of models in lingerie kind of makes one question who he is selling the “double p”s to - lesbians or cis men?

I would feel so much different about this procedure if it was a female surgeon, focussed on vaginal reconstruction due to childbirth and trauma, who turned away 97% of these cosmetic inquiries after explaining and demonstrating that their anatomy was NORMAL v.s. some cosmetic surgery quack dude who got his start…

Jane’s been commenting here for literally years, her history is available if you click on her handle, and I am sure she’s not a Republican.

I will always love this. Thank you for posting.

I love Jesus, but I drink a little.
