I'm familiar with twerking through NOLA bounce music and culture, but when I see /hear media outlets talking about twerking I assume they're talking about what Miley Cyrus does (NOT twerking) and I assume that's what they were talking about here.

So, Mr. Smith, before you were stabbed were you wearing a shirt? When the knife pierced your chest did you specifically tell your attacker to stop? When he stabbed you the second time did you bother to say "No" in a firm clear voice? When you walked around being a jerk earlier in the day, weren't you pretty much…

It's a popcorn dress! I bet it gets all tiny when she takes it off!

A year ago, had Miley's marketing team told me THIS would be the result of all their hard work, I would have laughed, thinking we were not stupid enough to feed into Miley's ridiculousness. And in this imaginary scenario I would now be eating my words because wow, we really ARE telling her she's the star of her own…

I will be really shocked if the characters they play have any complexity (and screen time for that matter).

The town wasn't destroyed for what two people did, it was destroyed for what so many refused to do.

One of the boys also tried to put his penis in her mouth, but she was too drunk to respond. But yeah, that's no big deal either...that's not real rape. Don't cry rape until we have a torn vagina, m'kay.

Yes exactly! "Well sure she got raped, but who knew fingering someone who was passed out was rape. I mean obvs it wasn't rape rape. People need to realize it was just finger rape and stop being mad at us. It would be different if she had actually gotten pooped on!"

Saltsman’s photo and tweets may be evidence of a culture that treats women as dispensable playthings, but it isn’t evidence of rape.

It is straight up Blue Steel.

It's boy duckface. A blight on our modern times.

because, really, getting the semantics right is the real issue here,

I am really happy that Clooney has a supporting role in a movie as hyped as this. He is a terrible actor with absolutely zero emotional range or acting ability. His roles border on inanimate immitation in almost every single movie he has ever done.

Thandie Newton's #1 Beauty Tip: Start out looking like Thandie Newton.

E.L. James went on to name her top pick for the female lead: E.L. James.

I was pretty bummed about Dakota Johnson in 50 Shades - I loved the short lived Ben and Kate and wanted better things. Although I'm convinced this movie might actually be done as a hilarious Oscar quality parody, so maybe things will work out.

Yes, hilarious. Behold the power of make up, wigs, good lighting and photo shop. Thank you for the illustration.

But not relevant to this because you are talking about societal expectation. At some point, women have to look in the mirror and take accountability for setting those impossible expectations on themselves.

In regards to your second point, do you think men notices those things? When pointed out, yes, but if women didn't do it, they wouldn't really notice. Women are 50% of the population (usually) and they are forcing these standards on themselves. Who do you see as the editors and contributors to the fashion magazines…

Always and forever relevant.

Though I don't agree completely (yes, makeup and hair and clothes helps, but it isn't a perfect magic wand), it does help a hell of a lot. I spend more money than I really care to think about for chemicals to smear on my face so that people think I look decent, and it works. I'm still the…
