And why the hell would we even need your suggestion since we're fully able to come to our own conclusions and decide to wear what we might want to wear because we like it. There's no rushing in with the army, your statement was both pointless and ignorant (whether it was willfully ignorant or not I can't decide, but I…

So...not going to acknowledge that you came across as a douche?

What? That time when one recognizes their own speech as problematic, instead of running around for excuses? Yeah, you can talk.

Good for you.

I'm a woman on io9 too!

And I'd just like to point out that women exist on io9 too. I happen to feel way more home at io9 than jezebel (the latter which is notoriously bad with science related issues).

It's not about building 'good' posture. It's about putting on an appearance. And no shit.

So what you should have just said is "I have nothing to add"

I know this is SHOCKING, but sometimes, women do things that aren't about your boner.

I bet you mean well by this comment, but I just wanted to point out that it's not necessarily about the male gaze. (Although I do recognize that some dressing choices are made with the male gaze completely in mind. I'm looking at you, neisseria age 17-20).

What you're missing there is that appropriation is typically done by majority groups to minority ones. For Native Americans, it is mostly white people superficially adopting their traditions without any true respect or understanding. Surely you can see why that is a problem.

A lot of guys don't think they like high heels or don't get them, but I think a lot of guys don't really recognize how high heels shift a woman's posture so other parts of her body are emphasized in a way that they do like.

Well-said. Naked inverted breastfeeding? Fine by me. But she seems rather fond of cultural appropriation, and that's not so fine.

The thing is, I think people really do think they are appreciating other cultures. They don't realize the harm they are doing.

"As far as " Appropriation" goes. I don't believe in apartheid. Being non white and living in a predominately white country have had an impact on this. I grew up being told that the culture I was born into “wasn't for me” because of the colour of my skin. I think sectarianism is wrong full stop. We should appreciate…

No, I'm sorry. Hippies aren't an oppressed social group. And yes it does dismiss how the Hopi feel.

I'm more dismissive of her trustafarian appropriatin-ass ways, but to each their own.

Lol White people

Maybe her account wasn't suspended for the yoga pics as much as for the offensive and ridiculous cultural appropriation photos. Stop it, white people! And especially you, trustafarians! Just... stop.
