Kerry Washington's dress oh my gooooooddddddddddddd <3

ooooh perfect trousers with that cropped cape-top would be so amazing.

Young[est] Professional.

I am a stranger but I am so sorry. I have loved ones who struggle with addiction and I know the heartache/helplessness/terror that comes with it. I'm pulling for you, from where I am.

Totally agree re: everyone learning a healthy/reasonable level of fear/caution around predatory behavior for a lot of reasons.

Well you've both been raised - subtly, consciously or not - to develop gendered skill sets because we live in a sexist culture. That isn't ideal as a strategy from the outset but at this point it isn't wrong for you both to rely on the skills you have and divide labor in your household based on what's most convenient…

Are they all hot and bearded? Cuz I have one too.

Oh lord, where do you work so I can never work there?

Ooooh I feel you. I had a huge argument with two of my partner's male friends about Skylar. I think she's a great character, and complex, and not perfect, but they see her as 'bitch' who 'betrayed' walter. The more we talked about it the more infuriated I became.

Not exactly sure how you'd get there from this, but I do get the point you're making. I think everyone can agree that rape culture (which is what you're describing - a culture where women are expected to live in fear that every man is a potential rapist, and thus live lives that are less mobile and free than men's…

I have a higher sex drive than my partner, and since I'm a lady and he's a man and culture tells us that it should be the other way around, it does make me feel pretty undesirable/oversexed sometimes. Anyone else in that situation? I like to think I'm enlightened about gender enough to know it's just a difference and…

Right? Reading this makes me want to barf everywhere, but does not convince me it's representative of anything.

Yes! And also, shape can have as much to do with that as size. My partner is generously endowed, and while he can obviously get a regular condom on they have a tendency to break or slide off (because they don't stay stretched all the way up the shaft, which is wider at the base) during the act. Clearly not functional,…

Obviously these tips don't do anything to actually prevent violence, but they might make someone feel a little less fearful as they go about their lives so there's value there. If it makes someone feel a little more empowered to live their life the way they need to/like it makes a little sense, at least.

I tend to refrain from conversations about setting up arbitrary parameters around the what is and isn't Art, because usually it just turns into privileged people excluding the work of the less privileged from the category.

Right? Would anyone be calling this the best use of photoshop if the artist looked more like her great great gran than her mom? NOPE. She also made the 'recreations' more flattering than the originals, because of course.

These kinds of projects are superficially interesting, but when I think a little more about them they just reaffirm what I always come back to, which is that artists tend to be complete egomaniacs. I looked for an artist's statement but didn't see one. Probably for the better because they usually consist of a…

I freaking love this lady. Genuine surprise/delight/feelings/sounds! Happiness!

The number of (presumably) adults acting like this is tantamount to child abuse or cruelty is blowing my mind. Someone returned their kid's TOY to demonstrate to the kid that actions have consequences, not all of them pleasant.

I thought that said "electric girdle" and spent a really long time trying to imagine that product.
