You specifically said that men get “permanent sexual partners and offspring” out of marriage, and questioned what women get. Women also get permanent sexual partners and offspring out of marriage. By your stated standards, women get literally the same thing out of marriage as men do.

Permanent sexual parters and offspring? Literally the same thing?

Yeah. Further to that, I don’t understand why everything a feminist chooses to do must be feminist. Like, a feminist can get married, but that doesn’t make her wedding feminist. The dinner I made tonight and the park I visited today weren’t feminist, either, they were just dinner and a park. That’s fine.

Fair enough! Everyone should wear what they are comfortable wearing. I have found that as I’ve gotten older, I have stopped receiving comments (in this case ‘older’ is late twenties). It is worth noting that I live in Toronto, where nobody really gives a fuck.

In situations when I absolutely must disguise my nipples (job interviews? Meeting my partner’s parents?) I wear layers. A sturdy tank top should be fine.

I firmly disagree, mostly because I don’t get what the big deal is with regard to visible nipple.

My visible nipples are a gift to the world. Seriously, though, I think people (not you, just in general) need to chill about nipple outlines. It’s the shape of the body.

Alternately, they are now widely available and I don’t have to go on a damn scavenger hunt to find a reasonably cute bralette at a reasonable price.

Okay, I’ve been occasionally wearing bralettes (when I want to be a sexy wearer of lace lingerie) forever. I don’t ever wear underwire bras because they are super restrictive and I hate them more than anything else in the world. But! BUT! The vague sizing of bralettes is a huge problem for me, because my 30D boobs…

Right? The baby will be a human infant, and will require everything a human infant requires. Chill out about what colour the damn recieving blankets should be, the baby is just going to vomit on them a bunch.

I don’t particularly like kisses, and I definitely don’t like making out. I like quick kisses for affection purposes, but beyond that I would rather just have us put our mouths on one anothers’ genitals, you know?

Yeah, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say at all. It seems we’re each having our own discussion here. ;)

Nah, you’ve misunderstood what I am saying. I am not victim blaming or saying that it is an individual person’s responsibility to not have body image issues. I am very simply saying that as individuals we have different experiences, so those generalizations don’t all hold up. So yes, all women are bombarded with…

I’m not sure why this is a response to me, I agree with you entirely. It is possible that my comment is easily misinterpreted. I am just saying that it is difficult to generalize when it comes to feelings because they are very personal. Broad experiences like harrassment are something I feel you can safely generalize…

Harassment is a different thing, because it is external. Women generally encounter dozens or hundreds of men a day, and a couple of those men are going to be shitheads. Shrug.

I’m not saying that body image is an entirely internal thing (we have a million external forces telling us we aren’t good enough) but we…

That is an attitude most companies are moving away from. The whole ‘apologizing is a liability’ thing is pretty much a myth. Most social media experts will suggest nowadays that if you have something to apologize for, just apologize. That said, I think that in this case, there was clearly an apology. The words ‘I’m…

You know, not all women have issues with their body image, either. My body image is just fine, thanks.

By attempting to put a stop to some rules that distinguish between genders, but not others. Equality means equality. That means that if you aren’t going to allow men-only organizations, women-only organizations should also not be allowed.

That’s bullshit. While it is impossible to be sexist against men, or racist against white people (in the west), you can still discriminate against those groups.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to Meghan Trainor, I just want her to disappear forever.
