Yeah and they abound on the screen and are given lead parts in movies where they get to play complex and interesting characters, all the while looking very average.

"We like to see chiseled men but men who don't represent this stereotype are still worshiped for their personalities" EXACTLY.

I think the only way sometimes for men to truly understand how crazy unattainable beauty standards are and the pressure put on women to reach those standards is to experience it. I wish there was another way and I wish that we could work towards less objectification for everyone but here we are. And I'm not going to…

Same here. And I'll add: while I don't deny the practical aspect of cars, cars in my mind also mean pollution and deaths due to car accidents. So, no a guy won't impress me with his gas-guzzling car. It'll actually turn me right off.

Of course it's fucked up. But these people may feel stuck in their own traditions. Because by bringing dishonor to the family, that means that the other children/teenagers of the family (if there are any) won't be able to marry since their sister eloped. Look what happens in the African countries where excision is…

Hazaras indeed face a lot of discrimination in Afghanistan, they're looked down by the Pashtuns and apparently the Tajiks as well (the wife's ethnicity). Maybe the met because the boy's family was working for the wife's family? Since they're close in age, they've maybe known each other since childhood? Of course, this…

"And we can even see in our society how, as fewer people are extremely religious, the boundaries on what is right and wrong have shifted"

Exactly what I thought. LGBT prisoners may be themselves rapists, murderers, thieves or people who are in prison for tax fraud or something. Putting potentially violent murderers (who happen to be LGBT) with other LGBT people who aren't violent themselves isn't going to solve violence at all.

We're in total agreement then ;-)

"We all know feminine/masculine are social constructs"

Well, idiots will always exist, no matter what, you know. The Bible isn't meant to be taken literally. End of story. But clearly you have an agenda that wants to paint every Christian (and believer) as a fucking imbecile. You should go read the Jez article: How to be an atheist without being an asshole. Because that's…

Don't we all come from somewhere, somehow? I believe we all come from Africa. But you know, the whole world doesn't claim to be African because that would be silly.

Agree with everything you said. Also, I love your username.

Indeed. Where are the LGBT people without tatoos, alternative haircuts or ( for the lack of a better term) gay outfits? All these people look stereotypically gay. Nothing wrong with that but I think it can be powerful to look like someone who's unquestionably straight and then boom! you shatter people's expectations…

Haha thanks ;-)

No wonder she's constantly drinking. I couldn't believe she was still standing after Jerry's death, I was expecting her to be passed out drunk. And then, Fitz asked her where Olivia was and I was yelling: "Shoot him, Mellie! Then marry Andrew and you can still be FLOTUS".

I love what you say about thinking about which eye shadow to wear the same way you think about earrings/shoes. That's the way I approach makeup as well: I've just bought a new eye shadow today and I'm ridiculously excited that I'll get to try it on tomorrow! Makeup can be fun people. I wear it because I look better…

I know three guys who wear makeup. No mascara or eyeliner but BB creme, concealer and some highlighter. And they're not gay (I'm mentioning this because that's often the stereotype about men wearing makeup). Sadly, the prejudice is so ridiculously strong they don't exactly shout it from the rooftops but those men…

Why are we even responding to this guy? His statements are so ridiculously over the top, he can't be taken seriously. White women, Hipanic women, this is a non-debate and I don't understand why we're even taking time responding to that dude which in a way validates his nonsense. Let's ignore him, that'll piss him off.

Indeed she does.
