Thanks so much for answering!

Do you think there’s much to the fact that all of the movies cited are post-1930 Motion Picture Production Code films? Did this trope not exist before then? Since it seems pretty rooted in correcting “aberrant” feminine behavior, and the code was supposed to promote “traditional” moral values and correct standards of…

I very, very strongly remember the first time my opinion on something was taken seriously. Not to imply that I wasn’t able to express a preference about things that affected me, but I mean the first time a discussion was taking place about something household-related and my offered input was considered along with the…

You know what, no. There are multiple people responsible for her death, and it includes the people who released him from his earlier sentence and did not care enough to ensure that he was not continuing to accrue more victims (we know - and as a society have known for a long, long time - that re-offending rates are…

Are we letting the line where she’s “about to go ape and turn it to the Congo” (at 40 seconds) pass without comment just because they left the second part off of the close-captioned lyrics?

My nose bridge is a little curved. You don’t notice much in person (or I don’t in the mirror, anyway), but it’s REALLY obvious in photographs because of the whole 2D-flattening thing. If my job required lots of on-camera work and success at that job required having the least flaws out of my peer group, it would have…

You are super correct, and that makes me sad. (I want a dog, and the deal my husband and I have made with each other is “not until we have a yard.” Which... will be never. It doesn’t need to be a big yard, either. Just an outdoor space.)

Hey - I know now isn’t then, and I’m not who you needed to hear it from... But that must have been really shitty, and I’m sorry you had to deal with it.

Not that I’m the person you actually asked, but I have. Mostly, I appreciated how much permission she gives - to get rid of things you really don’t want to keep, but feel like you have to because of other people’s expectations and to keep the things you love and want to keep but are always afraid that some…

Please don’t apologize - just quote more. <3

Not that I had gone looking for the information (which, apparently, is a failure on my part), but I was quite pleasantly surprised to hear Demi Lovato was NOT out of place in that amazing quartet.

If this is a consistent issue for the airline, though, then only the people who observe that religion need to gender-identify. They can then wait for a flight with enough other people identifying appropriately to accommodate their needs - maybe they do one or two flights a day with one row of 3 of all men or…

OTOH, if Taylor had sent a tweet about it, people would be saying how she was just doing it for publicity. There’s no way to please people who have decided, for whatever reason, that they hate her.

You could change your handle to “Ginger is constructing!” for the time-being... :) Congrats!!!

I generally feel like my BODY doesn’t have enough structure to carry off clothing that has so little structure of its own? But on people with very apparent frames, it looks lovely. If that makes sense? I know that weight and body image are fraught subjects for a lot of reasons, and I’m not trying to shame or critique…

I’m not anti-trans, but I’m anti jerkface. And Caitlyn Jenner is a jerkface.

It’s popular among US Christian Southern Baptist (protestant sect) and Evangelical Christians. And, yes, it does mean that women are to keep their knees together to magically prevent both consensual sex (as in, they should just keep their knees together and not have sex, thus preventing all possible consequences -…

It’s a fair point. Although I know Imogen Heap has production credits on “Clean,” and Taylor has writing credits on every track on the album and production credits on at least 5. The fact that many of those men have a collab credit on one track each (and that she invited them to the stage) makes for imbalanced optics,…

If you already have one, renewal is really, really easy. (You should do it ASAP; they’re expecting to get inundated soon with people renewing passports they got when they became required to travel between Canada-US-Mexico, so there will be unusual delays due to the volume.)

That’s the thing, though. They’re not asking for anything but JUSTICE. Is this case slightly different, in that the victim was armed in some fashion? (Yes, although similarly and far more-heavily armed suspects have been non-violently apprehended.) Is this case the same in that it was still a situation where deadly…
