Yeah, I have friends who were homeless and had otherwise rough lives when they were younger, and you DO NOT come up behind them and touch them unless you want to be punched. I mean, in general, that's good advice, but especially for people who've experienced violence in their lives.

Yep. For a "sociology of gender" class I took in college, we had to do little experiments. I chose to spend one day not smiling at people I didn't know. I'm not even a big smiler anyway and I'm a feminist since before the class...but it was still hard for me. Part of it may just be a human social interaction thing,…

also: no bangs allowed!

Yeah, this is pretty terrible.

I love everything about this: the dress, the fit, the model. SO GOOD.

You are completely correct. As a queer dyke, I am the arbiter of the difference between a mullet, a hipster mullet, and a 'hawk. And this is definitely not a mullet.

That XL is a lie. Or at least it's for a person who thinks they're an XL but really they're a M or L. :-(

Yeah, I generally have no problem getting my chubby butt into a 2xl legging, but their leggings will not fit me. I guess they'd be good for ladies with small/flat butts, but for anyone else, they suck. Which is so, so disappointing because I would buy the shit out of their products otherwise.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!

Hips and a non-tiny waist are only allowed when they are constructed, not naturally occurring.

That is basically a textbook example of age-appropriate teaching about consent!

Well, considering that I have been *this close* to homeless for my dog, and I have run in front of a (slowly moving) semi for my dog, and I have gone $6,000 into debt to save my dog...I think we all know what I would do.

And...how much of this could be addressed if we as a culture just got the fuck over it and actually had comprehensive sex and relationship education, which includes teaching about consent—from a young age? FFS. These are minors we're talking about: do we really just slap a conviction and a label on them and say…

Right? She's beautiful, she's stylish, she's a great musician. AND I have it on good authority that she's also a very nice person.

WHERE ARE HIS LIPS?!
