Where you been on this? The Air Jordans wedges are great.

I was trying to offer a reason why one might freeze up or not fight back, since some people don't seem to understand that people have different perspectives and different reactions to traumatic incidents. Also, being naked in a room full of people working for the dude harassing you is a pretty threatening situation…

I don't even know how to parse this, dude, it's pretty irrelevant to what I was trying to say here. I was trying to offer another perspective — why might a woman freeze up or passively comply — not read the minds of the models who have dealt with this.

I think you might be over-estimating the amount of consent going on in ye olde times.

Also, idk but if a dude shoved a dick in my face unprompted I'd probably be pretty scared because if he's cool with doing that, then what the fuck else is he capable of if I piss him off. Just a thought.

Is Martina coaching, though? She's been dabbling with getting back into the tour on doubles. Mauresmo coached Bartoli to Wimbledon last year, so it's not the most unusual choice.

I love how supportive he is about the women's game! His rooting for Taylor Townsend this weekend on twitter made me grin.

true, true. I just meant that these dresses probably wouldn't work for her; I do see a lot of plus-sized stuff geared for folks with hourglass figures. but yeah, I'm never blown away by what she does end up wearing.

I'm almost positive she got it worse, tbh. She always looks great but I know she's often in lower-end brands, like IGIGI (who are great).

All of these women have completely different body types than Melissa McCarthy, though. Her waist isn't that well defined.

Why shouldn't we "change society" to be accepting to people who are doing no particular harm? Like, tolerating other people's genders doesn't seem like a bad social change, regardless of science behind it.

Men can absolutely do shit to combat this behavior from other men — tell other men to stop being misogynistic, even casually, even as a joke. They could stop supporting media that dehumanizes women. They can call out their bros. They could stop making rape jokes. I've been harassed around dudes who are my friends who…

See, this argument I think makes excuses and helps stigmatize people with mental illnesses, who are way way way likelier to be victims of violence. Once we start labeling all negative behavior like domestic violence as mental illness, you're really just trying to pretend that "normal" people aren't capable of this…

"Not all men" understand rhetorical devices I guess.

Man, dudes have a really hard time controlling their feelings and thinking rationally about problems, I guess.

because breasts aren't genitals and it's legal to be topless in NYC, but not to have your genitals out?

She was literally being reduced to a body part and a game by these kids? Hence...dehumanizing, as part of a culture that often reduces women to body parts, dehumanizing them and thus making violations like this seem like something totally normal to the kids that did it?

I don't think it's quite as loaded a term as…

you don't think being reduced to upskirt photos as part of a game and being talked about in a "sexually violent" manner is dehumanizing? what about that is respectful of the humanity of the teacher?

I don't normally like sitcoms but I will doggedly watch all of these at least for a while because I need more diversity on TV and want to reward shows that have it.

Honestly, I have no idea. I think it's especially weird since almost every immigrant parent I know (including my Peruvian mom) was crazy obsessive about college and career for their kids.

Growing up I felt that way too — there just weren't any Latin@s on TV and I appreciated Asian-American first-gen stories because at least it caught /part/ of my experience. Hoping these will be good.
