Remember those creepy pop-up ads circa 2001 with the sexy(tm) woman next to the headline "protect your home from intruders!"? I basically assumed since then that men have been filming me nonstop. Like, I'm just resigned to knowing that on some creepy corner of the internet is a film of me shitting. It releases me

So you're telling me that picture isn't from a SNL parody of Nancy Grace?

Not the point of the story but I love when someone uses a well-placed "indeed."

I actually think women who were assigned male at birth is preferable to trans women. I look at trans and transgender as short hand to place myself within a discourse framework. I use it for others, not myself really. I think of myself as woman first, and transgender just happens to be something which has a medical

Transgender is not a noun. It is an adjective. We are women or we are men or we are genderqueer people. We are not "transgenders."

But what, exactly, does the percentage have to do with it? A man who has Klinefelter syndrome is considered by medical science to be a real man. He has a rare condition, of that I would agree, but the rarity of it doesn't make him less real.

Ready to have your mind blown? Sex != Gender, and sometimes, physical sex != chromosomes. There are people walking around right now who are cisgender men with two X chromosomes and there are cisgender women who have an X and a Y chromosome. Then there's other possible chromosomal combinations.

The OBGYN that was recently busted for taking covert video of his patients while examining them had a spy pen in his white coat during the exam. Not sure exactly what he did with or to those videos but he kept them for his own "personal" use.

I installed it for 'good', because I was worried about my possessions being stolen and my state had a weird legal loophole that wouldn't have held any realtors, landlord, or people viewing my house responsible for belongings that went missing.

I'm one of the 5% that bought a covert camera because I was a tenant of a rental house while the landlord was trying to sell it and he gave keys to multiple realtors, so a ton of strangers had free reign to wander around my home with no supervision.

Weirdest thing I saw was someone laying down to measure a room using

Yes, the local news station here actually visited a camera store that sells those type of hidden cameras. It had never crossed my mind that cameras disguised as fake electrical outlets could just be placed on a wall. I'm definitely going to be on alert whenever I use the restrooms here in Irving because apparently

It's not all landlords though

I just saw this Keira Knightley quote and I will post it:

"There is an under-representation of our stories, just as there is an under-representation of us in politics and in business and everywhere. That's what feminism is [to me] right now – the recognition that we are still not equal. I absolutely love guys. I love

Or does it make TOO much sense?

I hate it when people I love read NYT nonfiction bestsellers/spend a few hours drunk on Wikipedia and then say shit like that :(

I understand. It's hard to focus on feminism and other mundane things when you're busy fantasizing about being choked by an alien on an intergalactic spaceship.

Oh, PLEASE. Like we can't do BOTH. IT'S CALLED STAR TREK: VOYAGER and also the FUTURE. SPACE FEMINISM, LADIES, FEMINISM IN SPACE. WOMEN GET TO WEAR SHINY SILVER JUMPSUITS ALL DAY WHILE DRIVING SPACESHIPS AND AIN'T NOTHING ANY MAN OR MALE ALIEN CAN DO ABOUT IT. GET WITH IT, LANA.

Needlessly huge? Not so. While there's an attraction to building a teeny tiny rig, and it's certainly more practical in some set-ups, size offers a lot of advantages:
