I see it as a (small) act of defiance against the patriarchy— “Nice girls don’t have tattoos” is a stereotype that still holds pretty strong among a lot of people. I’ve found that a lot of sexist guys see it as “ruining” a pretty woman, or as a signifier that a woman is “easy.”

While many workplaces and other social…

Is that a choice though? “Oh, I’ve already paid for this so I’ll just stick around and get assaulted”. Are you then consenting?

It’s a sign of my ownership and control of my own body. A stand against certain beauty standards (although tattoos are much less taboo than they once were) Literally changing the skin I was given - expressing myself in a way that can’t be silenced.

What is negative about feeling powerful enough to not stand for harassment, to get up and get the hell out of there?

Nah. I’m not helpless. I have agency. Weird that is so controversial among this crowd.

If the artist starts doing something you don’t like then leave. How much of a cunt do you have to be to not be able to handle that.

Since when did a destination wedding mean “anything I have to travel to?” We got married in Big Sur, which is local to us. If people balked because we didn’t choose a location more amenable to them that we had no connection to, those people probably didn’t come. We had guests all over the country. We had 60 people, no…

.....Can we get a column about how to get a clingy sex buddy?

The only things that surprise me about any of this: A) that there are still people who think their partner is done cheating even though that same person cheated to be with them in the first place.

Alcohol has calories. Coke doesn’t.

saw the kim thing on twitter but didn’t see the photo. some said it seems like trying to divert from the hot mess that is her brother. I dunno, seems pretty suspect since she is so type A with her photos and social media, seems like she thinks very long and hard about each photo and it would be difficult to think she…

I was thinking MeKristopheles.

Really? Your troubled dilettante brother beats his girlfriend and violates her by posting her intimate photos online and your response is “no snitching”?! Go fuck yourself.

Lol, girl fuck that! It’s one thing if she and I are both getting played, but if I know the other person *knows* I exist (which obviously everybody knew he was married), they gotta go down.

Police: “Freeze!”

For. Sure.

“When did y’all start to get the feeling that she could lose?”

You are 100% right. I was typing on my phone and wasn’t paying close enough attention. Thanks for catching that.

I bought this bunny sutra swatch back in the day. Thought it was hilarious. We were in Switzerland, it seemed like a good place to buy one. Every time you tap the glass, the hands point to a different position. It’s pretty cute. It’s no antique, but still.
