Well, I adore Margaret AND all the Ab Fab ladies and actors, but one thing to keep in mind is that the movie and show are parodies and satire...realistic cartoons, and perhaps it is a meta decision to show how inane it is for the CHARACTER to pretend to be another race. These people exist. Gwen Stefani pretended to be…

So the sexual repression of the 4o’s and similar eras coupled with woman~shaming resulted in the current notion of “she keeps saying no but means yes.” Lovely.

I’m just here to say that it really is confidence that gets people to notice you (observe Mae West who was not that young-looking, attractive but in a relateable way, and certainly no waif - not that it should matter, but in light of certain idiot people giving Amy Schumer a hard time, it’s important to point out that…

Whenever Esprit is mentioned, I share this story:

May I first please say that NONE of those stories above are about “a most embarrassing moment of crying” but instead are perfectly normal reactions to anger, fear, and sadness. We need to support each other as humans - and especially as women - who often express emotions through tears and other physical ways. Women…

I think we’re conflating many different roles here:

Some doctors have advised her to stop, to which she said, “They die and I don’t, so there must be a mistake somewhere.”

I think it’s INCREDIBLE that men get a pass for this. NO NO NO NO NO!

This is a plea to ALL the young women out there (“class” irrelevant):

Fuck patriarchal churches.

Well, if you’re a theater person, this is just as normal/creepy as sets. Isn’t it strange how a lack of life in a building creates panic in us, though? Like a boarded up house, or an abandoned office building? Seeing these bizarre mall “shoppes” is similar - it’s all for show, nothing really happens down there, and it…

ERBMWAHW: emotionally regressed babyman who’s afraid of his wife

My 1oth grade boyfriend’s middle name was Cameron. Does that count?

Long ago, before the Internet had taken hold, I moved to NYC and decided to tame my college weight gain. I chose Nutrisystem, because it was an all-in-one package (except for produce). There were SEVERAL reasons I was upset with this program (decades ago; it may be different now):
