So cheating is a good reason to kill someone?

SHUT UP

She didn’t do anything to deserve it. No one deserves to be killed, especially in front of their own children.

I don’t think that the issue is that the advice is positive or negative about a girl’s looks. It is simply bringing up her looks at all! The message to young girls that their appearance is the most important motivating factor — or any motivating factor at all.

It isn’t so much body-shaming as totally inappropriate cultural fat-phobic reinforcement at far too tender/impressionable an age. Which may be even more messed up.

I was going to write the same thing!

Yeah. If you’d kept your hot mess of a husband: Alive, employed, managed, fed and clothed and supported and he KEPT stepping out... I can support her and any woman who says, “enough.”

If you’re presenting ideas in writing and/or graphics, you have to successfully communicate those ideas. Mixing visual metaphors here by having interlocked gears as well as a woman in danger of being crushed to death makes it ineffective. It doesn’t “have to” be a coherent metaphor in the sense that nobody’s going to,…

Even in and of itself, I think you can’t have the metaphor of the woman in danger of being crushed AND the interlocked gears. It doesn’t make sense—it has to be one or the other. Either she’s going to be crushed by the machinery, or the machinery isn’t functional. It’s driving me nuts, because this teeny tiny change…

my only reaction:

Well, the “we MEANT to do it that way!” justification smells like bullshit to me. This piece is about the metaphorical machinery of a faux-empowerment cult that hurts women, it’s not about the machinery of a faux-empowerment cult that doesn’t function. And the fact that the animated gears in the article itself are…

Except that the woman in the middle is in no danger of being crushed if the gears aren’t turning?

These gears wouldn’t turn, though.

Because obvs he just made a mistake, besides she was drunk and it wasn’t his fault, what did she think would happen, etc etc.

“I do not believe in America it is right to punish innocent people for someone else’s crime; that is not our system of justice,” she said. “The baby did nothing wrong, the woman did nothing wrong. The man who raped the woman is the one who done [sic] something wrong and should be punished.”

Taylor and Tom are the epitome of Try.

Good thing she was in Japan not the US, right?
