The way I've seen it used is a way for us to nurture our internalized sexism: it encourages misogynist posturing like "I'm not like those other, shitty women. I'm…

Oh awesome look! Another box into which women are stuffed in to based on shoddy conclusions of flavor of the week, cool kid pick and choose trend data.

To be fair to the Wendy's milkshake person, the myth of fast food milkshakes not containing dairy is a pervasive urban legend...

I am a runner, and I wear running shorts and a dry-fit tank top almost every time I run. I hate the gym, but the rare times I go, I wear this exact same outfit. It isn't revealing, intimidating,…
