Agreed. We’re probably different generations here, but it’s just that I never felt pressure to keep hair. It was the opposite. I always felt pressure to remove.

But that is how kids look! Your partners grew up in a society that fetishizes young girls bodies and praises grown women to the degree they are able to replicate them. Your partners aren’t child molesters and there’s nothing morally wrong for any given person to go hairless if that's their preference, but it’s a…

Well, as someone who stopped shaving, I’m pretty sick of everyone telling me I’m unhygenic/gross/ugly/smelly and lazy because I have hair. I’m also tired of seeing dudes (who probably wouldn’t go down anyway) claim any hair on a woman is the reason they won’t eat her out.

yeah, whenever says that argument of “well we need good guys with guns” i say yeah, fucker they’re called Police, and they are trained to override our basic human need for survival (flee, freeze, or fight).

That little part was a thing that makes you go hmmm for me. My first reaction was “you quit because you were mansplained about why it was wrong”. But then I took a minute and remembered that we look to others in our lives to tell us what we already know, or wish we knew in time. And had she disagreed he might well…

also, i would probably never encourage my teenage daughter to become the face and name of such a polarizing social issue. it’s not like the fisher family funded this themselves, they let interested parties drive this case and abby is going to be the one that has her face attached to it her whole life

I’m a long time out of college but my parents advice would have been “do better at another school and transfer”

It bugs me just a bit that you felt you had to quit a lucrative gig because it offended your boyfriend’s finely tuned sense of social justice. From the way it sounds, you weren’t depriving a non-white student of a place at UT Austin; you were just indirectly helping prop up the delusions of adequacy of mediocre white…

I wouldn’t be totally shocked if her parents were the ones who put this in her head. Mommy and Daddy were embarrassed that their legacy didn’t hold enough sway with the Admissions Office to get her in so “blame the coloreds” and don’t let her think she didn’t get in because their alumnus checks weren’t big enough.

IT is unutterably sad to me that her parents did not sit her down and make her realize that she did not get in to the college of her choice because she did not earn it. Bottom line. These upper middle class parents need to get real with their offspring: race and money can only get you so far. Granted, it will get you…

I hadn’t seen this comment from Fisher before:

wooooorrrrddddddd

my best and favorite and eva green is everything forever and ever amen.

Holy shit, I AM SO INTO THIS.

THIS MIGHT FILL THE PENNY DREADFUL SHAPED HOLE IN MY HEART!!

Most important Brexit analyis to date.

But in many ways this is not a short-term sacrifice considering the next president is likely to shape SCOTUS for the coming generation(s). That’s a long-term sacrifice for long-term losses.

Trump is not a short-term sacrifice. Trump is an extinction-level event.

Honestly, it won’t. I still don’t understand how anyone could miss an opportunity to cancel out a nazi’s vote though. Every vote for Clinton, like her or not, nullifies some backwoods klan sympathizers vote, and I can’t wait to flex that muscle.
