It’s weird that the Kushners look down their noses at Karlie. For years, they tried to get Josh to break up with her. Yet the father is a former jailbird who hired a hooker to seduce his brother in law and the son is Jared. They’ve got some nerve.

You do realize that not everyone here is hung up on dick, right?
Out of curiosity, what part of this ad makes you think that a man’s preference re: sexual partners has anything to do with said advertisement?
Meet Shirley. Survivor of the Dryer incident of 2018. This snaggletoothed beauty took a warm dryer ride on a snowy winter day for about 10 min (I thought the thumping was snow boots) and was overheated and PISSED, but came out fine and smelling Spring Fresh. She rewarded me for saving her life by peeing on my pillow.
Not cat-related, but washing machine related:
My first husband’s family had a Siamese who was a holy horror. One day she had, unbeknownst to my MIL, crawled into the dryer atop a load of stuff waiting to be dried. MIL threw another load in, shut the door, and turned on the dryer. Some time later, she heard “thump, thump, thump” from there and knowing that she hadn…
This is simply a symptom of a more far-reaching problem. Low self-esteem in combination with the belief that the way a woman looks is the most important contribution she can give society.
Beyond the creepy and disturbing imbalance of these kinds of things, it also gives the person an aura of “I don’t understand the difference between daily and dress up.”
My bff is a nurse who does fillers and botox. I’ve had a little here and there, once I hit 40. I had her put a little filler in my top lip, and in the lines near my nose. People say sometimes it looks like I’ve had a good sleep, lol, and that’s good enough for me, I make sure I don’t go to her more than once or twice…
I had my thyroid removed and it left a visible but not immediately evident scar, as if I’d been mildly garroted. Because it cut through the muscles under my chin, I immediately got a little pouch. I didn’t mind until I was 50. Then I had a neck lift. It is subtle but it made a lot of difference. My surgeon specializes…
Good thing we saw this coming based on how it took hold in places like South Korea and didn’t do something absurd like spend a decade hyping it as a self-expression power move rather than tempering a positive message of autonomy and agency with reasonable concern for how people come to feel inadequate. Oh wait.
It’s kind of funny going to the dermatologist in Manhattan, because I see so many ads for cosmetic treatments. I just need the doctor to inject my psoriasis medication to keep it from coming back on my vulva, thanks.
It appears my reply was deleted, where I told the gay avenger that I’m actually bi, and that my mother refuses to meet my girlfriend.
The “Wellness” bullshit comes from DECADES of women being ignored by medical science. It comes from women who have been told that they’re “hysterical”. It comes from people who can’t afford healthcare.
THANK YOU. I’m always so frustrated by Jez’s take on stuff like this. You don’t need to be some conspiracy theorist whack job to question how pumping yourself full of hormones might be affecting you.
The thing that really annoys me is that they refer to “The Pill” as though there is only one hormonal birth control option out there and it’s this giant monolithic EVERYONE’S EXPERIENCES ARE THE SAME.
But “gaslighting” is not a real thing.
Sure it is. Remember? We talked about it last week. You’ve just been so forgetful lately. You should lay down.
I only walked out of the cinema an hour ago so I’m still mulling over exactly what I thought of the film, and especially the twist, but I don’t think it destroys any possible allegory. I interpret the film as a commentary on the social class system, with the Tethered, not unsubtly, representing the underclass. ‘Fake’…
