They're celebrating (in their weird dumb fashion) for the motocross lady chasing after an opportunity she didn't get in earlier generations.

Or maybe because the boys' section for clothes includes more choices—I still can't find the part in girls' clothing sections for play clothes that can stand up to heavy mudplay and tree climbing. I *can* find boys' clothes that allow them to be dapper.

I have the window open and my eyes are looking at it. At least, I'm looking at the story about her being reassigned, which then goes on into a long article about the social dynamics of a unit and how women are perceived to fit into them. Stuff I dealt with when I was active duty years ago.

And as an average-looking…

Mmmm yes of course, we should just shut up and not complain at all about things. Any things. Because then the mens will get mad and sad and that's just THE WORST THING.

It'll be "Just a naked picture" when society considers nudity and sexual promiscuity among women to be NBD and not a place on the yardstick of How To Spot A Bad Person. This is a "should" which isn't an "are." As long as it's a "should" we will be wearing small burqas and stoned digitally.

It isn't weird to me either...but you have to be able to rock that goth style.

Thank goodness Einstein was a man amirite?

Oh I don't disagree on the legal attacks because she was reading a (very shitty) erotic fiction book. Hell, the color and composition of your belly button lint is scrutinized in crap like this.

Re: the book
She could have been reading Harry Potter or Grimm's Fairy Tales and gotten the same kind of treatment. (I almost said "the bible" but that book's NASTAY with sex.)

Just to play devil's advocate about the canoe thing, the Polynesians explored much of the Pacific Ocean on craft that were very much like canoes, and until they had contact with European and Asian cultures, they were largely stone-age tech. (Not disputing the photo is suspicious, but the craft is not the suspicious…

Nah. Some ladies enjoy the hell out of these. I'm just saying they look more like they were created for an aesthetic I see all the time in sexy art created by/for gay men and less often in sexy art created for/by het women. Just my observation. I'm sorry if I made it look like I was saying anything else.

Sounds like a plan!

Oh and I'm not getting literal to be mean or contrary. I'm just being literal. I agree that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark as much as most sane and logical individuals.

I really don't care as long as said boss
1. Treats me like a damn human.
2. Is accessible.
3. Knows about what I'm doing.
4. Doesn't smell funny.

Sharing experiences that the article and discussion bring to mind is super fine as far as I'm concerned.

I am a fat cyclist, a middle aged gamer mom, and electronically and mechanically inclined, so I understand that stereotypes suck oozing things. Incidentally, the person the reasons were about is gayer than Paris in…

A homicide can be accidental. Also, falling off a building because you were drunk and fell is accidental without being a homicide. Whether the homicide is intentional is another matter. Calling the shooting a homicide means that a human action killed another human, pure and simple. Her face didn't spontaneously…

We had just changed the locks the evening before, too. My daughter and I did both the front and back door, because reasons happened. (The daughter lives in an upstairs apartment to me and my roommate.) We think someone connected to those reasons was either trying to give us a scare or test our work since, you know,…

You got it before me.
