My point was that one of those encompasses wellness and one is about how you look. But whatever. 

My point was that one of these encompasses wellness (food security, safety, clean water, etc) and one is about fuckability and status. Let’s call that what it is rather than pretending it’s anything other than it is.

“There’s a disconnect between something that is happening between our primarily white male critics who don’t like anything that has any emotion.”

Fuck off, Weight Watchers (sorry, WW), and fuck off “wellness.” Rather than focusing on issues like ensuring everyone has food security, that people have clean water, that people are safe, we spend far too much time and money chasing a dream body (20, white, thin, able-bodied, pretty in a very narrow way) and…

It’s a too-large concept to summarize, really, but you can read it here, if you’re up for some academic reading: https://thespanofmyhips.wordpress.com/2014/04/22/neoliberalism-and-health-part-1-the-obesity-epidemic/

For sure! I actually published it (in four parts) on my blog a few years ago, so that’s probably the easiest way to share it: https://thespanofmyhips.wordpress.com/2014/04/22/neoliberalism-and-health-part-1-the-obesity-epidemic/

Never mind, clearly not worth my time.

I will never not think of this when I hear Chloe Sevigny’s name:

I really loved this take. I haven’t thought of the show in that way, but it makes so much sense and feels true to what I know about trauma.

Oh, hell yes! I would love to read it, if you wanted to share it with an internet stranger.

Who the fuck ever thought CK was progressive? Jesus Christ.

Really, with the picture? It’s one step up from the “headless fatty” pics used to dehumanize fat people all the time in the media.

Whaaaattttt. I didn’t see a single one and now I want to go yell at them all.

I honestly don’t understand what point you’re making. Of course women make poor decisions, many of which involve upholding the patriarchy. That’s more evidence that we need feminism, not the end result of feminism.

How is that feminism, though? Feminism is “Stop being complicit and supporting abusers” not “your choice!” That is 100% not what being pro-choice means.

Uh, “staying out of each other’s sexual business” definitely ends where serial sexual assault and harassment begins.

I would argue feminism is about dismantling oppressive structures and not giving men a pass just because we love them, because I’m sure as hell not devoting my life and work to a politic that says “hey, be shitty, but do it cause you want to” and calling it feminism.

I mean, you didn’t, actually. You said you thought me finding kissing people who don’t floss disgusting was “radical” and repeated that several times.

Jesus dude, yes, I am aware of how sex and body fluids frequently go together. I also wouldn’t date someone who didn’t wash their hands in the bathroom.

I am not American. And the reason I want kissing partners to floss is not actually about efficacy in preventing peridontal disease, it’s not wanting to kiss a mouth that hasn’t been cleaned and has gunk between the teeth.
