What the fuck even was his math with confused up the fuck what with??

MICROWAVE?!? Ah god you're hurting my very soul!!

I've started several responses to this and deleted every one of them... I just can't... I mean... if you're going to disagree with someone, I feel like you should either explain why, if you are interested in debate, or keep it to yourself, if you aren't. To pipe up just to say you disagree without explaining why is…

Where do you live?

I used to get catcalled and street harassed all the time when I lived in California, from the age of 13 (yup, I still get the heebie jeebies remembering that one). I moved to Alaska when I was 30, and now only get harassed when I visit home. In fact, my defenses have come so far down now that once recently, some dude…

Weeeeellll... it does make it interesting in that women are often criticized as slutty or deserving of rape if they celebrate their own beauty and/or sexuality. If she is willing to parade around in a bikini while speaking against rape, it probably means she is firmly OUTSIDE the "what was she wearing?" camp. :)

But "stranger rape", although it is rare, does happen. Are we supposed to ignore it, or say that its victims need to keep quiet?

Well, that's the crux of the argument, is what I'm saying. It presents men as bears. I'm not saying I agree; I'm just offering an interpretation that doesn't "blame the women". Reasonable discourse means looking at all sides to see how we might address them. Society only progresses when we look at and address other…

Huh... okay then! Thanks for piping up! :)

What? That is a false equivalence... No reasonable person tells men, "yeah, rape those bitches, who cares, they shouldn't be walking around anyway"!

Advice like this is not meant to blame the victim. It just assumes that the victims are reasonable and intelligent, while the perpetrators are neither of those things. Therefore, if you can only address the behavior of one of them, even though it's totally sucky and unfair, you can only address the behavior of the…

I'm sorry, but I just don't recall. :(

You think so? Well, if that's the case, they must have better photo technique then, because when I try to photograph food, it looks terrible. :)

My first welcome to this aspect of Jez was when I commented on an article about bras how I technically didn't need to wear one, but wore one because I didn't want my coworkers (and fellow grocery store customers, etc) seeing my nipples. Everyone jumped down my throat. "Oh, and I suppose it's okay to see MEN'S nipples,…

I think they meant that it's just hilarious to watch people wolf down food. Like how we all read breathlessly what Michael Phelps eats when he's training. I LOVE to watch my lead dog wolf down her kibble. For some reason, watching people (and dogs) scarf away food is inherently amusing to some people, such as myself.…

No, what I was getting at is that I agree with the literal words of the instagram. The models did NOT eat those things. I just disagree with the reason why. :)

Thanks for sharing your measurements! They are relevant!

Those models probably did NOT eat those things, but not because they are anorexic or whatever. It's because it's a photo shoot. I bet quite a bit of those "foods" aren't real food either; they are plastic or some crazy thing. Haven't you ever seen those documentaries about what they do to make food look appealing in…

That ad doesn't even make the mascara look good. Her eyelashes are already clumped together when you see a shot of her putting on even more. Looks like a full-on spiderleg look. I say we use this thread to ponder why everyone has a different favorite, and why a mascara that is perfect on some people gives raccoon eyes…

Good Lord! I am SO pissed off and offended and violated on your behalf! That's goddamned rape! One of my greatest regrets is not punching the lights out of my (former) domestic abuser. All I can say is, I have a great life now, and he doesn't. I think you can probably imagine the same in your situation! That little…
