Ah, French Vogue, always promoting some some chocolate and wine diet as opposed to American Vogue, whose fave diet is "Kale and Tears"

The best one is "I stay fit running after my kids all the time".
I'm incredibly frustrated with the number of smart people conflating those two concepts all over this post. Yes, there are very valid reasons some people choose not to embrace the feminist label. However, none of those reasons are the one articulated in the post, which contains quotes almost exclusively from rich,…
Love your story. It really makes me happy the transformation you went through, I pretty much went through the same thing.
This, this, this.

Women who say they aren't feminists have let people who they actually detest redefine the word for them. I think the rejection of the word is like giving Rush Limbaugh a big old hug.
Here is the thing for me: A long time ago, when I learned a little bit of the history behind the women that have fought, were beaten or murdered, abused, or otherwise risked everything in order to support the rights, privledges, and (on a rare good day) perceived equality that I enjoy to my male counterparts in the…
It may seem out of place here, but I think a great thought brought up in a New Yorker piece about the conflict in Egypt this past summer came from a street merchant. When asked if he was eager for democracy, he basically said he would take any system (communist, autocratic, democratic, etc) so long as he had money and…
Sad so many women would want to distance themselves from this word, especially since I was one of them once and understand their flawed reasoning very well.
I don't agree with every Democrat out there, but I'd still call myself one. Most of these explanations strike me as cowardly. If we started owning feminism as a positive, multi-faceted movement, maybe then others would stop associating it with "bra-burning lesbianism". And by the way, which half of the population is…
Surely the analysis part of this piece was cut off accidentally? The quotes were such a fabulous warmup to the Issue Breakdown That Never Was.
I mean, Jezebel doesn't say it's feminist either. So.
Geri Halliwell's quote made me bleed from my eyes.
I'm not a feminist - I, I hail men, I love men. I celebrate American male culture, and beer, and bars and muscle cars....
Hey! How about we NOT compare things that AREN'T RAPE to rape?!?
You voluntarily went into a haunted house, WITH a waiver AND a safe word to end the experience at ANY time. This is no where close to rape. Get a fucking clue!
See you joke about my celebrity hair list, but that is actually a huge part of my job. It's exactly as fucking tedious as you expect - especially when people cut their hair and then get a weave the next week a la Beyonce. STOP IT, CELEBRITY FAKERS.
I just assumed that this was one of those awful early 2000s-era home bleach jobs that all the boys at my middle school were sporting and he was in some sort of Spiderman-esque superhero origin story that left him permanently looking like an idiot. But no, apparently he is paying someone Actual Dollars to maintain this…
I'm going to pretend this is the world's largest en masse lesbian wedding, and you can't stop me.
Damn! You beat me to it. Also, are they just some kind of bizarre toe only hose? Because her legs are hella pale.
