Bitch, please. Even if we all dressed in Victorian-style high-necked long dresses like these, assholes like Arndt and MRAs would be complaining about the brazen hussies who harass poor innocent men by showing a sliver of ankle or a centimeter of collarbone.

I agree with you completely. But the cynic in me thinks the editors got the pageviews they wanted, so they probably don't much care about the outrage.

I agree with this completely.

Unfortunately, breed standards often come at the expense of the dog's health- what is seen as the "best example" may come with serious, painful problems. For example (according to the BBC doc I linked below) the "ridge" in Rhodesian ridgebacks is associated with a serious health problem in a significant number of…

I love dogs, but I think shows like Westminster and all the breeders who focus on form rather than function are doing a huge disservice to both dogs and owners. The BBC made this documentary about some of the problems associated with purebred dogs, I recommend it (though warning, it's really sad in parts).

What do you guys think of the second Hunger Games trailer?

I'd be speechless too! If only you could print this out, travel back in time, and give it to her.

Man, this makes me want to go to San Francisco and hang out in Dolores Park and get Chinese food.

I can't remember if I've asked this before, but does anyone have suggestions for good tumblrs to follow? I like art, pop culture, feminism, science, arts/crafts/diy, fashion/design (preferably with a diy/weird/thrift store/self-aware flavor), politics...

Robert Sapolsky wrote a nice essay on testosterone a few years ago, I recommend checking it out if you're interested: [bit.ly]

Gene always knew he wasn't alone in his penchant for apparel-fondling.

He was so sweet and innocent, you just knew something tragic was going to happen to him.

There's a tumblr called (I think) sex is not the enemy that's pretty cool. It's more sex-positive than traditional-porny but I recall it still being fairly x-rated.

This cracked me up.

Hey, I think it's totally valid for Titania to ask about how asymmetries in class and white privilege might play into street harassment. I didn't read it as her bragging about her wealth.

Also, think about this quote:

1. Anecdotally, catcalling seems to have nothing to do with how I'm dressed. The worst incident I can remember I was wearing a gigantic men's coat, jeans, and winter boots.

Some dude did that to me last night when I was jogging by myself down a dark street. Asshole.
