Yes exactly. I replied to a comment above that the census data is vital to local governments to determine where and when public services need to be expanded or relocated to better serve neighborhoods, communities, cities, and regions. I rely on census data a lot for portions of my work, especially as it pertain to…

Not that I’m trying to fear-monger, but I don’t entirely trust this government to keep everyone’s information safe, all things considered.

Is it thoughtless though? She’s not necessarily saying she’s denying the existence of her body (though the floating head comment does seem to over exaggerate her point). She went through years of eating disorders and body shaming by the media. When we live in a world where it seems like the only options available are…

It’s so perplexing to me! It’s like nothing any famous woman does in the way of activism is ever good enough. The go-to approach seems to be to pick holes in whatever they’re doing, and then gleefully point out all the holes. (For some reason Cardi B is an exception to this rule. Everything she does seems to be…

Yeah, that definitely could have been phrased/discussed better. Because while yes, body positivity should be for everyone, there are some genuine critiques about how the movement is being co-opted. However, the co-opting is not coming from skinny people trying to accept themselves, it’s coming from the diet industry…

Honestly, as someone who’s had issues with this in the past (haha, who hasn’t?), moving from “you need to love yourself!” to “things are fine.” was a really, really good switch. I’m fine. I don’t need to love my body or whatever, just accept it and treat it well. And having a therapist who let me set that goal (“I…

Stop it. Stop attacking women for having opinions, speaking out, and trying to make things better. What the hell happened to Jezebel? I’ve been around here for years, and recently the rhetoric has just become so hateful and isolating. This is ridiculous. 

“has been co-opted recently by women of totally socially-acceptable, skinny shapes and sizes who think the movement is just for anyone who feels good or wants to show off their armpit hair”...You guys know that Jameela has a history of eating disorders since childhood, right? And that she was severely fat-shamed by…

Man, people really can’t win. Jameela Jamil has been saying mostly the right things for a long time, and backs it up by taking celebrities who hawk dangerous ideas and products to task. So she’s not the first to say these things, does that mean she shouldn’t say them? Or that she deserves this snotty recap of her…

Why do you think you know better than the 12 people who actually heard the case and all the evidence?

I broke up with heels about 6 years ago.  Fantastic decision.  Never looked back.  There’s nothing sexy about hobbling around in pain. 

baby skulls (and pretty much everything else) are extremely fragile and soft. there were skull fractures, i believe, but that could have been caused by any number of things including the birth or delivery method/area itself. it’s not something you would need a blunt object or ill intent to cause, not at all.

The first thing I did when I retired from sex work was chuck every single pair of stilettos I owned into the goodwill box, because fuck high heels, fuck walking in them, fuck standing in them, fuck ball kicking in them, fuck them for ever.

I always say, “I don’t have a problem with male authority because I regard it for what it always has been. Male authority has a problem with me.”

You will see pigs fly over your roof well before you see dudes holding each other accountable and refraining from licking each other on golf courses. You don’t have an affliction.

I didn’t used to be, but the last three years have really turned me into an ardent man-hating feminist lesbian. I mean, I was a feminist and a lesbian before, but the rest of it is a consequence of watching men over the last three years.

And we wonder why survivors choose to stay silent.

Apparently they really don’t like movies about rapists who get caught.

Whiney manbabies really are all over the Internet. 

You mean like If Beale Street Could Talk, To Kill a Mockingbird, Death and the Maiden, Brian Banks, When They See Us, etc, etc.... Yeah there are no movies or tv shows about that? Go back to 8chan, so that you can run away of all the mean women tormenting you for being a man, and refusing to giving you the attention…
