No, of course not.

Nope, but you should still view her as a person worthy of respect.

What I mean is the "second shift" as it is typically described: the full shift of additional work done by women when they get home from their "other" job. If housework and childcare were evenly divided, it wouldn't be much of a shift anymore, as someone would be spelling you.

How about "share the second shift"? Otherwise, we'll be living in squalor.

To be fair, I'm not getting a slut shaming vibe as much as I am getting a poor-fashion shaming vibe. Dress like a slut all you want, but don't dress in ugly damn clothes. Crop tops are ridiculous - not because they show the stomach, but because they're just stupid looking (imho)

Sometimes I want to be one of those old-timers who says, "I miss the OLD JEZEBEL." Then I remember that despite the "no body snarking" and "no slut-shaming" rhetoric, Jez's authors and editors have always been inconsistent in applying these rules at best.

I get that, but so does smoking, and I have never seen fat shamers go after smokers with the same vitriol. Most of the people I see turn this into a moral issue.

This is all just so frustrating. Like, the people claiming it's cultural relativism? No, it's really not. It's not deciding you know what someone else's issues and priorities are without asking. Of course no one thinks FGM and child brides are something we should condone happening. But "white savioring" it doesn't do

I've just skimmed the whole thread and it just made it painfully clear that "many" people don't know the difference between religion and culture, and they don't know that there are many Muslim cultures. Apparently Muslim Indonesians (the largest Muslim country in the world by population, but I spose these people only

ALL OF THIS A MILLION TIMES.

Wow, a lot of people in this thread really have no idea what being an "ally" means. As in: do not speak for other women, especially if you are are a privileged white woman who is assuming she knows what the "real" problems are for someone else. I know you know this, but jesus, this thread is depressing. Being an ally
