I would add this into the mix though (see link) and also while I completely agree about caution with statistics, the Women’s Marches I attended were overwhelmingly attended by Baby Boomer women and many who marched for civil rights in the 60s and 70s. Fun trivia: GenXers like me are reportedly an “endangered species”…

Oh, nonsense. The booths are not separate rooms. And if both the President and his son can hover over their wives while they vote, so can husbands in red states. I never said they were “hypnotized”. I said that some women may be bullied into submission. And while I agree on calling out certain people, there are hoards…

I’m not disagreeing with you, but in cases like Trump and Roy Moore (and no doubt others), do you think that women are being ‘complicit,’ or just nodding nervously to appease the ogres beside them?

While I agree that many women are complicit, there is a danger in turning the focus to them and perhaps not considering certain factors. For example, the 63 percent statistic. 63% of white women who voted did so for Roy Moore. Also, considering the weak laws preventing domestic abuse, also in 2014 a gun was used in…

It’s true that there’s a big gulf between “beauty ideals” and many people’s real-life experience of desire, but the point of all this body shaming stuff is to support massive industries (beauty, diet, exercise, surgery, clothing, makeup, etc.) that require that women constantly worry about their appearance, and think…

This is the best take.

I honestly think “fat” is just the default that some pricks use to insult women (‘cause fat is the worst possible thing for a woman to be, right?). Even when they know a woman is nowhere near being overweight, they use fat as an insult because they assume it cuts the deepest.

it’s almost as if you make an organization solely to rank and commoditize women’s bodies... the people in charge wind up being assholes

We are things to be commodified. We are objects of status and wealth. Until we age out or weight out. Or we say no. Then we are shunted to the side and derided and destroyed because we didn’t cave. Time to end this shit.

But aren’t you assuming that women have feelings? I don’t think this guy would buy that.

He doesn’t give a shit about his daughter. He wants to keep the business in the family. And so he wants to marry his daughter to someone he would like to see take his spot.

... it’s not.

Why are beauty pageants even a thing these days? If people find them necessary, they why don’t they have them for men too?

No.

50 women in bikinis awaiting judgment. How is this still a thing?!

This is some extremely creepy and petty shit.

This fuckstick:

This douchebag owes his career to the young women he so causally mocks and slanders. Fucking pathetic.

Men in charge of organizations centered around women needs to stop. When has one of these men had altruistic tendencies for his involvement? They’re typically insecure perverts looking for easy pickings. Example: Orange Cheeto Trump.

This and the US gymnastics sex abuse are the latest examples of why I give the side eye to organizations that are for and comprised of women but have men in most positions of power.
