Seriously, MRAs: fuck you. You're a waste of oxygen and space. There are legitimate issues that gender roles create for men: our culture overlooks sexual assault and domestic violence that happens to men and encourages them not to report, it acts like women are the real parents and dads are incidental (e. g., there…

It's pretty telling that the only way they can get all those false rape accusations they whine about is to manufacture them themselves.

I don't know about you guys, but in my own love life, there is a 100% correlation between guys who label me "crazy" or "needy" or "possessive", and guys who have cheated on me.

Well I think narcissists are a good example of people with genuinely high self-esteem who none the less bully and beat others. It's less their self-esteem, and more their complete lack of empathy. They just aren't able to identify with people they see as lesser than themselves. They still seem genuinely happy, if…

Thank you. This myth still persists in school anti-bullying programs. I think it's because we really just want to believe that there must be a reason to be racist, sexist, etc. Really - the only reasons are enculturation, family beliefs and ignorant assholery.

Yeah, one of the most valuable lessons my parents tried to teach me (and I still have trouble internalizing) is that sometimes people bully just because they enjoy it, and because they're awful people. The bully isn't always depressed, they aren't always projecting some sort of self-hate onto you, they aren't always…

I agree.

I take issue with this:

Sourcing Entertainment Weekly as "EW" always makes me laugh, because it seems like editorializing.

God I hate that! "You look so cute!" "This is your version of me as cute?? I am rethinking this entire relationship. Now take that shit down before I start to really Hulk out."

Please report to the Texas Capitol for the next legislative session. We need you.

I hate my photograph being taken without my permission. There are few things that make me more stabby than when someone sticks a photo of me on the Internet, after we've spent some time during the day together, where I look like ass, where I had no idea my photo was being taken, in some weirdo pose, and then says,…

Dove is owned by Unilever.

I'm just going to continue pointing out on every single Dove story that they are owned by Unilever who also own Axe (they of the stupid misogynistic body spray ads.) Cynical desperate marketing FTW.

Simple answer: it's once we get older that we realize that we're all being judged by others in every photo taken of us. So, we become less likely to want to submit ourselves to judgment, silent or otherwise, when we can avoid it.

I truly believe I was cursed by an evil witch godmother to never look good in photos. Every photo I take I look SO awkward in. I make weird faces and it's always terrible for me. Will Dove fix that?

Well...no. It's not that I thought I was beautiful when I was a kid, it's more that, at a certain age, I realized that I'm not. I'm not unattractive, and I have times when I feel really pretty (like my wedding day), but mostly, I don't want my picture taken because I am spectacularly unphotogenic and I feel ugly. I…

As a professional photographer, I feel it my duty to capture what the client wants. And if a client doesn't want to smile, she won't hear me begging her to do it. People are beautiful in all their expressions, and as soon as we all figure this out, the better off we'll be.

I never get invited out with the girls for cocktails because my size, attire, and lack of makeup make me a poor fit for their bars. THANK YOU JESUS.
