Short hair, don’t care!

Yes! See: Colonial Williamsburg, it’s failure to acknowledge slavery in any meaningful way, and the white tourists walking around remarking on how things were so much better “back then.”

Does Jezebel still do comments of the week? Because this is so perfect.

Throwing women under the bus to get men to stop being shitty is a national pastime.

I do a bit of work on Burma/Myanmar and I’m always curious as to why people call it what they choose to call it. So, why does Jezebel use “Myanmar”? No value judgements/moralizing, I just always learn something new when I ask that question so I thought I’d ask.

This would have been a great headline to troll on Cosby rape deniers.

I've tried these and they are fucking incredible.

Have these celebrities never heard of cost-benefit analysis?

I think there’s a lot of people who would agree with you about the comparable severity of both issues. I agree that black people living under an Orwellian police state is worse than online harassment. But we can’t just not act upon certain problems just because they’re not at the top of the problem hierarchy. And it’s…

He had no chance at an insanity plea anyway and the prosecutors probably have this info already but this is still pretty cool.

While I agree that it’s not cool to wear the lesbian/bi hat for a bit to make yourself feel and seem more edgy, I think the “girl crush” impulse is reflecting a (slow and incomplete) shift in our standards of beauty. I think women like Ruby Rose are surprising to a lot of straight women because many of us are not used…

Me too. This really pisses me off because it feels like a fucking favor to put a woman on the bill as if it’s some sort of radical idea. Fuck man, we’re entitled to exactly half of the representation available on U.S. currency, not just half of one of the less-popular bills. If we’re having to share the $10 bill, we…

There’s a point that the author touches on that I think needs to be expanded, which is that these dress codes and their corresponding punishments assume that there is no learning curve on how to attire a growing female body. Sometimes your skirt is too short because you just grew three inches. Sometimes your blouse is…

Obviously it doesn’t empower women. That’s what this whole essay is about. If you don’t understand the battle women face, then how are you comfortable asserting “there are ways” for it to be won? Why should we even have to fight this battle in the first place?

Hasn’t Caitlyn Jenner been a woman her whole life? I take issue with this op-ed because it’s essentially doing what its author is railing against: narrowly defining womanhood in order to exclude the narratives we have yet to explore as a culture. Caitlyn Jenner’s life has been a female life even if its trappings have…

I totally agree. I love this book. Going through my clothes actually really helped me pinpoint the sources of my anxiety, and getting rid of things has made me happier. It’s not so much about minimalism like you said, but about realizing that you have the power to control your environment. I think since I feel like I…

Does anyone know if she has filed any civil complaints? This article is like a friggin’ torts exam.
