Yeah, everyone should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, whatever their gender, and not get shit for it from anyone else. It's not the actual leg-shaving I mind, it's the obligation.

I think it's an awesome name! Very unique, and pretty in a "sounds like a fictional character from another world" sort of way. I am curious how you pronounce her last name, though - does it rhyme with "pigeon"? Or is that a hard G?

And if she was truly "using the same level of professionalism", her next sentence would've been something along the lines of "You're a big doo-doo-head poopy-face stupid-pants who has cooties and I bet you eat poo and you smell like a poo and you love poo. So there! Ha!" I am just blown away by the childishness of the…

I disagree that vanity sizing is not a thing. I have never been below an 8 at mass-market brands normally sold at Target, etc, and the only times I've ever been a 6 (or that ridiculous 4!) were for much more expensive clothes. I guess I'll amend myself to say I'm skeptical that vanity sizing is not a thing; fully…

Yeah, even though I rationally know it's also a social construct (I mean, guys stay fluffy and seem fine with that) I "feel like" I do the armpits for myself, because it's gross to have a stubbly armpit scrapin' through the ol' deodorant, and I've never been able to put up with that long enough to see if I feel any…

LOL!!! It's never a bad time to reference obscure Star Wars characters.

Whoah I think you might be right! I thought he was going for "hurr durr durr her face looks like a labia" (???) but your theory makes more sense, in the limited sense of the word sense that can be applied to any of this. (PS - sense sense sense)

I cannot hear the name "Buckley" in anything except Brittany Murphy's voice, doing Luanne Platter.

Outside of New York City, adults generally write polite, cheerful emails to one another...

Yeah, at first I was like, "Ban on hoop skirts??? WTF does that have to do w anything???" because the first thing I think of is, like, a Cinderella outfit or someone dressing up Gothic Lolita or something. Upon further reading, if these kids were engaging in plantation cosplay, then I agree, shut that down.

Huh. I didn't notice the no door part when I initially began lusting for such a glorious shower. However, if you can afford to have such an impractical shower in your house, you can afford to have the bathroom set up with a tropical micro-climate such that you won't feel chilly from your lack of door...

Hell, I don't have to walk into it - that picture alone is doin' something for me...

I like it! You're givin' me ideas I am far more likely to carry out than the rhinestones...

Same! I truly 100% do not care for myself, I know it's not some rationalized "I do it for me because I like it!" thing, I have zero problems with having hairy legs in the comfort of my own home or out & about under clothes in the winter, or with a partner who has expressed a sincere "that could not possibly matter…

*throws away tweezers*

Yes! Roseanne's house was the first one I'd ever seen on TV that looked like my house, and the homemade afghan (before knitting/crochet became trendy again) was a major visual signal of that.

Yup. Very analogous to the findings of that Geena Davis group re: women/girls - we usually only get about 20% of the speaking roles in any given film/cartoon/etc, and I don't remember the exact stat but when it starts to approach closer to 50%, both men/boys and women/girls will report that they perceive the cast as…

Yeah, they're awful. Once we had to refuse a shipment at my workplace, because the box was literally ripped open and half-smashed, and the order included some breakable medical items (blood collection tubes, etc). We'd had issues with missing or broken items in previous shipments, and that vendor specified that if we…

Triple zero. Blargh! I cannot find a reaction gif that perfectly captures my blend of disgust and bafflement and annoyance and WTF-ness. *sigh* I wish sizes gave you actual useful information, like "the waist on this is X (cm/in) around". (I know, I know, too many differently cut/shaped items to apply a consistent…

Many years ago I had to wear "office appropriate business casual" and it SUUUCCCCKKKEEDDDDDDD. My condolences for your need to shop for that standard.
