According to my pelvic pain specialists, redheads do feel more pelvic pain/have pelvic sensitivity, so...?

Yeah, Steinem was one of the impetuses to break Wonder Woman out of her mod phase. I think the problem with the Wonder Woman comic was that after Marston, her creator, died, the comic became a reflection of the male writers’ knowledge and relative discomfort with the then-current state of feminism. And there were also…

No, Steinem loved Wonder Woman, even going so far as to put her on the first cover of Ms. Maybe you’re thinking of Shulie Firestone?

There is a resort in nearby Fort Lauderdale called Lagomar. I’m assuming he intentionally named his resort something similar to capitalize on Lagomar’s reputation.

I think it depends on how regularly you do your exercises. I am not so regular with it, hence pain. And I guess one should check up with their PT every once in a while. My PT said the pain will probably never go away, but at least there are exercises and PT to help with flare ups.

I’ve had pap smears too. And they are PAINFUL when you have pelvic pain.

I haven’t posted on Jez in years, but I just wanted to say that I had a similar experience and thank you for bringing pelvic pain awareness to Jez’s readership.

I wonder what the line is between inspiration and appropriation. If Tisci hadn't used a racist word (and really the only thing "Chola" or "schoolgirl" about the collection was the styling), or had used more Latina models, would it be considered inspiration? I thought about this as I bought fabric yesterday—both Asian…

It is within their rights to not provide services that they don't deem to be morally unacceptable. I wouldn't want to see any of these charities folding their operations, as a Catholic foster home system had to do in Illinois because they wouldn't allow gay parents to adopt. However, I don't understand how referring…

If anyone needs wonderful podcasts to listen to, I highly recommend The Heart, which recently featured an interview with Rajee Rajindra, a pumping survivor. http://www.theheartradio.org/episodes/beaut… I would also recommend Not All Women, episodes 1 and 3, a great intersectional feminist podcast. These two episodes…

Vogue isn't SO bad. If you want to read the most unironic publication ever, may I please turn your attention to Town & Country? I had to skim through a year of back issues for an employer and I, too, thought I was going to cry blood.

I think she's pretty enough to be noticeable but has such a blank face (not in a mean way, since that's an advantage on the runway, though as to why she's good at making a blank face is not for me to say) that she can be a good runway model. But her print modeling is really awful. And that's okay—there are some models…

To be fair, Kendall is not a bad runway model! But she's a horrible print model. If Vogue does one more shoot with her this month after already doing three in a row of painful, amateur Instagram-style poses, then I will write a letter.

I think Serial proved that there were a lot of issues with the police case and the trial, and evidently Jay has admitted to perjury. So even if he did do it, he still deserves a fair trial.

My sister is part of the radical contingent of the UFT. Trust me, they are out there and supporting their students with all of their energy and power.

How completely charming. I marched with my sister at the SI rally. Barely 30 people showed up to march with the UFT contingent, who wore shirts with a nice message supporting the community but there was no UFT logo on the shirt. We ended up marching with the social justice constituency of the UFT (they are called…

I think a lot of her humor was driven by the fact that she was a woman and an insult comic. She kept going deeper and deeper, saying the most un-PC things, to generate shock—because why shouldn't a woman say such things? As I said in a previous thread, her humor was also motivated by a strong sense of injustice—why…

If you watch her standup special on Netflix (some VERY problematic jokes in there, but some very funny ones too), you can see one of the costume I worked on. I interned with her costume designer a few years ago and got to meet her a couple of times. Your description is perfect. She was funny, brilliant, smart, and…

No, it's not, and it's pretty inexcusable, but the one thing that was true of Ms. Rivers was her obsession with working. If you watch the documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, one of her strategies was to be as controversial as possible, which would lead to headlines, which would lead to TV interviews, which would…

I am very sad to hear about Joan Rivers's passing today. As I have mentioned a few times in the comments section on Jezebel, I met her several times when I interned for her costume designer several years ago. I have never met, and will probably never meet, anyone more gentle, generous, kind, intelligent and quick…
