It’s just like-so often people say one thing but what they mean is, feel bad about yourself so I can feel better about myself and my untenable stance on my life. But it doesn’t work as soon as you realize that actually they have no fucking clue, and are trying to make you think they do and that you do not, and if…

Yes I know. but I mean—I want to be a warrior and fight for social justice! what kind of weird backwards compliment is this??

I’m very sympathetic to Ivanka, given that her father appears to either be sexualizing or potentially molesting her [and who’d want that dude for a dad?] but she’s no one’s feminist leader.

I’m so glad she’s talking about this, but I’m still so frustrated she didn’t talk about it more and make it more of an issue during the election!

Wait a second. “Rescued” her? Did she want to be rescued?

Um. Maybe this is not the site to be using terms like “social justice warriors” derisively?

YES!! I think we need to be asking ourselves what we are really accomplishing.

you know what this reminds me of? that awful “African children” song from Get him to the Greek. except even that movie knew it was a joke!

WORD-although I think a lot of the designated plus-size suits have the same issue. They don’t have enough boob coverage, and the designers clearly don’t assume you intend to do anything remotely athletic in your swimsuit. Hello? Volleyball? Swimming? Hell, surfing? Remember this?

I think you make a lot of good points here.

I think this is one of those movies that’s excellent in that it provides a bridge to other, better movies that explore the same themes in a deeper and more nuanced way. Like, when I saw the movie, it helped push me in the direction of really embracing my sexuality without fear or apology or shame—so obviously, that…

I mean. Maybe? But then what’s the difference between Candace getting a stranger attacking her for this, versus me getting attacked by a total stranger who threatens to rape me because of stuff I’ve posted? I mean, if that stranger had attacked me without the rape threat, I’d still be upset and feel like my space was…

I have mixed feelings about this. I DO want to point out that this sort of equation we’ve started to make in progressive circles—privileged-white-person—is a dangerous and unpleasant road to go down. Plenty of people who are not white are privileged, and plenty of people who are white are also marginalized in a lot of…

You are a child. Grow up.

teen-speak does not equate pop culture-speak.

I think it’s hilarious that you very transparently RESPOND to the messages that you “don’t read”, in order to tell me you are not reading them. Like, how big of a drama kween going on twelve years old are you?

You’re using text-speak only appropriate for valleygirls in their early teens growing up near Beverly Hills but trapped forever in the lives of wannabes...and you think I ought to look up your non-speak online? Why don’t you just speak in English?

Yes, and TAKING CARE OF A CHILD! It’s like these people don’t realize that between raising a baby and probably working while doing so, maybe women don’t have all the time in the world to go work out? Or are recovering from surgery or a C-section or just, y’know, nine months of pregnancy? Geesh.

I kinda think some things need to stay sacred, or...okay. So I get that these couples gave consent, but where there’s money involved things are never completely above-board consensual, because there’s money involved! Meanwhile their faces are out there, forever. Anyone who tries to employ them professionally who looks…

Choking you until you lose consciousness is a MAJOR warning sign. Run away.
