I'm not a huge Tara Reid fan, but I hope she is pouring herself a congratulatory brandy right now.

Me too. I was talking to my fiance about pick up artist culture/negging/etc in the wake of the shooting. He straight up said "Men can be horrible" and it made my grinch heart grow two sizes because the very least men can do in this situation is recognize our pain and vulnerability. I don't care if men belong to…

Good on you for sitting through this. I think it goes to show that misogyny is also deeply invested in degrading and destroying other men. The PUA movement is less about finding intimacy with women than it is about getting back at other men. Women are nothing more than sexual currency in a battle between men.

Eh, some respect on the part of the photographers/newspapers is really the only thing that would have helped. Every paper in Britain refused these pictures; that's why they took so long to get published by an obscure German tabloid. If Kate Middleton has a day where decides she doesn't want to wear underwear, I don't…

The issue wasn't with the front opening, but with the skirt blowing up; that has happened to all of us and anyone who says different is lying.

How are you supposed to weight a Diane Von Furstenberg dress? It's supposed to be a lightweight/breezy dress. I thought she looked fantastic that day on the tour

Philip Lim: Perfect for Fashionable Fistfights.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

The problem is that most common forms of the pill also interfere with implantation. They might have a first-prong approach in which they prevent an egg from being released for fertilization, but then, as a back up, they also make the lining of the uterus too sticky for implantation. So while Hobby Lobby is claiming…

This would be 1,000+ better if they actually had signs saying what feminism added to their relationships as opposed to what barriers they have to draw around feminism in their relationship.

Agreed on the Knightley points. Also, it's worth mentioning that Knightley generally chooses movies that have a major focus on costume/fashion: Atonement, The Duchess, Anna Karenina — all textile porn. Exhibit A:

I think your problem is less with this particular controversy and more with the fact that the fashion industry generally picks thin white girls as its darlings. These covers are not "deserved" more so than they are reflections of our ideas of privilege. Kate Bosworth, Sienna Miller, and Blake Lively are all women who…

I read your piece at XOJane and I was amazed by how brave you and your brother are. Thank you for speaking up for abused kids everywhere.

I get that fashion is an art form that would, ideally, be more inclusive. BUT. 90% of these women are on IV drips and juice cleanses for nine months of the year. I'm not interested in seeing that body tyranny extended to more women of color.

Yeah, if this kid felt soo uncomfortable and soo marginalized by the course, he could have dropped it. It's his own fault if he left his social diversity requirement or whatever off to the last semester. #putonyourbigkidpants

I love that. She's basically Jo from Little Women.

I know this is the cranky feminist complaint, but I'm more upset that Hermione never had a really cool female friend. It's seems her closest female friend was Ginny, and that was only because she was the sister of her boyfriend. Luna comes close, but Rowling made her too spacey to be someone like Hermione's bff. There…

There are lots of prescription plans that do not require a co-pay (or, if they do, they are covered for by the plan). So just because you've always had to pay for medicine in some form or another does not mean all women everywhere should have to pay for basic health care. And, unlike medicine that you treat for an…

You pay a co-pay for every prescription you have filled? I don't know what policy you have, but you are seriously getting the short end of the stick.

Guys. Everytime a Republican suggests that a woman is on birth control because "she can't control her libido," some bright young woman who maybe wasn't comfortable with labels finally gets her feminist wings. And hopefully donates to Wendy Davis.
