Not really. It's well-known that the bystander effect is real.

Well, a woman, what if she's not hot? How could you respect her? And what if she IS hot? How could you respect her?

As a black woman, I can't even begin to explain how cultural notions about your disposability and lack of work directly effect your sense of self.

Ronald Reagan was a senile old man.

And no-one ever mentions that women tend to live longer than men...

If she were young and hot they'd call her dumb and slutty. Siiiiiiiiiiigghhhhh

Did you lean in or out? How has it affected your work/life balance up until this point?

It's hard knowing that so much of our personal power comes through looks. As a woman of color who is also cis, thin and conventionally attractive (ex-model and beauty queen...had to pay for college somehow), I know that I have used my looks as a workaround for systemic racism popping up in my day-to-day existence.

Sad that 36 is now considered middle aged. I guess I am on my deathbed.

If you haven't, have your doctor run hormone & thyroid tests. This happened to me & it was due to PCOS related hormone imbalances that were also causing hypothyroidism.

I'm the same, except I enjoy putting on makeup when I have the time and I'm pretty skilled at it. On a daily basis, I rarely wear makeup or do my hair, but I do bathe and take care of my skin. I walk into work with wet hair almost every day. I just can't justify spending all that time putting myself together for my…

Yes, me too! I am regularly still in bed eight minutes before go time, arguing with myself whether I can actually put on clothing/brush my teeth/put my hair in a ponytail/find my shoes and keys in six minutes.

Oh sister, me too! I have never been a morning person. Not as a child, not as a teen, and certainly not as a grown ass adult. If it is before 10, my brain just doesn't work. This is a constant problem, in that I am required to be at work well before that time.

One of the biggest issues here is that how a woman looks is so intrinsically tied to her standard of living. Better looking women have better jobs, more friends/romantic prospects; the better you look, the better you're treated. Who wouldn't stress over that?

I do not know how people do it. I am in a constant cycle of laziness and guilt regarding my appearance. I have no idea how to do hair, I barely wear make up, and I am grabbing clothes while nearly blind in the morning. It has nothing to do with, "I'm not a make-up person." or any hippie superiority to getting done up…

It's like you don't even know what the internet is for.

Are you like, new to gossip blogs as a concept, or just generally insufferable?

That's my third monocle this week. I simply must stop being so horrified.

I had a man approach me about his bimbofication fetish and asked me if I would be interested in being his well paid bimbo. No sex just acting stupid with my tits out. I was so Fucking upset. I work as a hairdresser and the stereotype that were all highschool dropouts makes me so mad. I have a degree in poliSci, I…

But Barbie was an astronaut and a doctor and an executive and a figure skater and a ballerina! She should be raising her intelligence and getting all those degrees and hitting the ice/barre if she really wants to be like Barbie.
