Lol actually I feel the same way. I wrote a post on it somewhere and a couple people got offended. I was at a kohls and complained to a manager and asked why most of the bras in the little girls section(not even preteen!) had underwire/padding. She said it was because some girls develop faster. I get that for some…

I think its awesome that the actresses are doing this. The fact that they are in an industry where perfection/looking like everyone else is extremely important, I think they probably formed this little group as an f*you to the industry that has probably put each of them down so much in their careers. For a few…

Martha is hip! I love her show, you can tell she's pretty cool if you actually watch it. She knows a lot about food and good restaurants, knows a lot of chefs, and supports local sustainability. She's a great businesswoman. She may seem stuffy but thats to keep her older viewers and I love her attitude. And did…

One of my male coworkers came in the other day and accused myself and another woman of gossiping when we were talking about work stuff. I wanted to murder him. Instead, I just told him off and asked him why it was gossip when we were talking. He didn't know what to say and just kept laughing it off so I was pissed…

Exactly!

It's ok, I understand. For me, its just worse with women. It's like, even when we are little girls, we know that men will treat us differently because of our looks. It's not til we get older that we realize women will too. I grew up in a family of women, super close women, that it made me think all women were like…

For me, it hasn't become easier or harder, just a different set of rules that took me a long time to figure out. So for those 5 or so years of not understanding those rules/differences, my life was pretty shitty. Now it's evened out, but I can't say its better. Men date me b/c they like someone pretty on their arm,…

How many times are you going to respond to me? My god, I was pleasant in the other two responses of yours and admitted being mistaken. Now seeing this and I have to say, this is the internet, chill out. I'm pretty sure I never called you unfeminist and although I didn't get into everything you were saying, I agreed…

Well I was pretty tired when I was reading and your comments reminded me of my younger self, before I knew other people thought I was attractive. I misjudged people a lot back then and have only recently started to understand nuances. I assumed it was a woman because I thought you and the original poster were…

Oh, sorry! I was wondering b/c you always seem so smart in your comments! That does make a lot more sense and you are right, insecure men can be the worst to attractive women sometimes.

First: I think my observations stem from the fact that I live in the Land of the Plastic, Southern California. There are indeed some extremely attractive assholes. Some of them probably would've been that way even if they were ugly, but I'm sure some of them are that way because being a jerk never hurt them since…

" The hottest man I've ever worked with is so friendly to me that the first time I met him he literally stopped in the middle of eating dinner and put his food down to wave at me across the room, and his deeply insecure (and, um, not so hot) bandmate is incredibly rude and hostile to me each and every time I run into…

I used to feel the same way about bitch as well. I don't mind the word bitch anymore, I think because the first time I was labeled a slut was one of the most painful experiences I've ever gone through, and the times I was labeled a bitch was when I got what I wanted lol. These things can be really personal for every…

Carrie Brooks just explained exactly what I would've. It's just not the same calling a man a slut. It's more ironic than anything, because that word can never really be used to hurt a man the way it does a woman. It's the history behind it.

I went to Slut Walk San Diego a couple months ago and it was a great experience. I had never been around actual feminists or heard feminist speeches before and it was so amazing to hear words and stories from women who believe the same things that I believe. Personally though, I couldn't identify with the whole…

Your second paragraph is Golden and Perfect and exactly why rape is so common. Not all rapists are monsters, a lot of them are misguided by societal constructs and how we view male and female sexuality and women's bodies as here mainly for male consumption.

Ick. So with men, it doesn't matter what they do with it? I really hate that expression. It's like the people that don't care how many girls their teenage son gets pregnant but they look down on a teenage girl that DOES get pregnant. Does it not matter how one penis can adversely affect many women as long as its…

You are absolutely 100 percent correct. I HATE it when people say its harder to raise girls for those reasons, it makes me want to punch them. I personally think it would be easier to raise girls to be awesome and reject gender stereotypes/sexist attitudes than it is to raise boys to understand how terrible sexism…

I was a fat kid so I always had issues with myself, here are two that always stuck with me:

It wouldn't surprise me if now that kid is a serial rapist. What a horrible, violent thing to say to someone, it's not normal for a young boy to say something like that. He probably grew up around a lot of misogyny/abuse. I'm so sorry that happened to you.
