I always hate the “aren’t black people appropriating white clothes” argument, because white people didn’t just ask other cultures to wear their clothes, or beg people to wear their clothes, they marched themselves into other people’s countries and forced them to wear their clothes, speak their language and assimilate

The most maddening thing is the caption in the magazine, where they define an Afro as “not for introverts” and “ballsy and confident”. These attributes they’re pinning on Afro hair are often seen as negatives for black women, and are detrimental to how we’re perceived in the world. Not introverted, ballsy and

I'm going for a dirty dancing/back to the future homage.

1. The preferred term is locks, not dreads.

I thought the joke was even better, in that she didn’t just get her period and become a woman- she was still a kid until they gave her a tampon and she became boy crazy. The whole “am I still a virgin if I use a tampon” thing- it’s the greatest old wive’s tale/ preteen anxiety about tampons!

He looks likes he's being birthed by a lotus blossom.

He should glue that wig to his head because hot damn.

I'm sorry I thought your mom was dressing herself again.

Also brilliant- it's an 80s pastiche film, but the Tigerclaw camp formal was filled with dresses that skipped 80s preppy and actually went straight up 50s/60s- like Dirty Dancing.

She'd just given birth when they were filming, hence the overalls. I actually think overalls are great for when you have a soft belly but want to wear a crop top, which is how I wear mine, and how she wore hers!

Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks looking exactly the same was extremely noticeable in this setting. Also Michael Ian Black.

I want ammo to be prohibitively expensive to buy.

Exactly. Kim is settled with the biggest fish she's going to catch, and is pregnant with a kid she's said will be her last. Their business is being tabloid news, and Kylie was raised as a replacement.

I think it’s not being a 30 year old woman- she specifically is emulating kim’s look. Which I’d blame on Kim being the family’s priority for so long, Kris’s priority in particular, and general little sister psychology when you're the youngest and get no attention.

I’m sure her transition feels like a fresh start for her, but the relationships she fucked up with her kids before she came out don't hit the reset button. Parents are people, too, but she's obtuse ( and also still not parenting).

Because I’m not discounting the lived experience of women it does happen to, where it is nonstop and other men are complicit in their harassment. I’ve seen it happen to friends. But the idea that it’s a problem universal to women is just not true. Not all women get hit on or harassed.

I feel like there needs to be an article that addresses this. This isn’t a universal experience and treating it like it is seems harmless to women who want guys to acknowledge a problem but is really hurtful to girls and women who basically grow up being taught guys want to fuck anything that moves- except you, that

This. I get no male attention, ever. I do not get hit on. I just exist. And then I'm like, as a girl, what am I doing wrong here?

Wait- she's not using a condom with Max, but she knows she has HPV? I'm disturbed.

This phenomenon is so out of my purview. Guys NEVER think I'm interested, even if I'm practically dancing naked with a flashing sign. Anytime there’s an article about women relentlessly being hit on, I’m just like “WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH ME!!!!” I wish I could bottle what makes me so ignorable to the opposite sex and
