Also the school is apparently hiring a lot of predators. So much so that they know it and would rather police the girl’s uniform than...you know...hiring non-pedophiles.

The obvious double standard here drives me crazy. I’m trying to imagine what the reaction would be if boys were told they can’t wear shorts or short sleeve shirts because it might be distracting to teachers, especially if the rationale were that it’s too distracting to gay male teachers...

I see those sexy wrists, you HARLOT.

Oh my God. I can see her wrists. They are so creamy and delicate. And she’s touching herself! A lady never touches herself in public. And is that... YES. It’s a dab of rouge! What a painted harlot. Plus she was posing for a painter, who certainly defiled her the moment they were left alone.

Ugh. There is so much that is wrong in her tweets. She is suggesting that predatory teachers only go after teens or preteens in short skirts or tight tops, etc. But that is false. Many predators choose their intended victims based on them being viewed as less conventionally attractive and thus less credible if they…

A guy said the same thing to me once. He claimed I looked older than 12. Looking back on my 7th grade photos...he was a fucking liar trying to use ‘she looked older’ as an excuse for his predatory behavior. So now I always side-eye that excuse.

“What were you wearing?”

Oh my God this. History tells us that we can wear the most modest pilgrim outfit ever, and we’re still going to scandalize someone with a flash of sexy, sexy ankle.

The real problem is that we allow girls to go to school at all! With their boobs and legs and various holes that could be penetrated....it’s a recipe for disaster.

Presumably those men didn’t know you were 12, they just pegged your age wrong. Badu is talking about male adults working in a school setting knowing that these are children — and their charges.

I’m pretty sure dudes are gonna get ideas no matter how long/short girls skirts are. I refuse to be held responsible for other people’s thoughts, I don’t always like being responsible for my own. I most definitely will not accept responsibility for anyone else’s actions .

This article feels obtuse. I believe she is saying there is a difference between understandable and acceptable. Grown men started propositioning me when I was 12, because I looked like a grown woman at that age. This was both understandable and unacceptable. Can't we hold both ideas at once?

My entire sports bra collection is now from Old Navy. They’ve got a range of styles/sizes, and aren’t too expensive. But then again, I’m so cheap that I wait until I can snag them when they’re $8 on the clearance rack.

Why’d you click on the link, though? Did you skip the part that said “Beyonce” or did you just come here to be a hating hater because of your rabid desire to express your superior taste in music? Wow. So artsy. Much indie.

Agreed. Plus, her music is the only reason I can run on the treadmill.
