Ok, yes, the 50's skirts are not practical, I agree, but the parts of the uniform that are violating dress code are not the ones that contribute to athleticism, as far as I can tell. If they put some effort into the functionality rather than flashiness when designing these uniforms, might everyone be happy then?

Yep, fair is fair. Maybe the cheer uniforms have gotten a bit out of hand, though? I'm not sure when cheerleading became competitive objectification, but we could always go back to the standard ones... I mean, if they're purely athletes, it shouldn't matter if they show their midriff or not.

I am the sum of my experiences, and I wouldn't be me if my life events came in a different order. I'd think my "soul mate" would change based on how I change in reaction to the various people I interact with throughout my life.

I didn't want to picspam too much, but yes, she is.

I can almost hear the shot-grunts/screams just looking at their faces. For example:

The parents of the main character (the girl in the poster) were divorced because they were married when they got the TiMER, which showed they weren't soulmates, so they broke up. But the implication was that you wouldn't bother having a serious relationship with anyone other than who your wristband said you should be…

It was, about a month ago, so as long as they haven't rotated it out, you should be able to watch it.

No, I don't think we have only one soul mate, so I wouldn't wear one. Plus, it really seemed to fuck with their heads, especially those poor teenagers.

This reminds me of this quirky movie I found on Netflix one rainy sunday afternoon.

And there are no guys out there refusing to date tall women. None at all. Nope.

As in, I think this IS taylor swift fanfic.

Rule 34, my friend.

I also heard Sen. Lewis on my lunch break. I was 15 minutes late getting back to work, and it was totally worth it.

Maybe if they wheel in a TV and play the VMAs on loop, Tian Tian will get the idea?

All I'm doing is pointing out the inherent sexism in the general acceptance of women wanting to look constantly cheerful (ala mona lisa), which is thrown into visible relief by how generally creepy a male version of the mona lisa would be.

It's pretty clear how icky this surgery is, but it's even more icky when you think about how weird it would be for a man to want it. Perma-smile woman? Ok, sure. Perma-smile man?

I'm willing to believe that's one he's actually gotten, either in response to the ad, or as a complaint IRL.

The only thing I'd add to that is, this is a compilation of "girlfriends" he's heard about in movies or other media. Because I can't imagine him ever, even just a little, putting himself in a position where he might hear about honest, real-life issues like court dates and work schedules from women.

How dare he speak at some commie-bastard Equality Forum! That's not representative of our values!!
