I kept looking for the second half of this article. You know, how usually when something starts with "Remember that time when..." and then you get the "Well NOW..." part?

I have the same reactions when one of my guy friends says this to me. "I didn't really believe in feminism until I had a daughter!"

Yes, racists and killers can do good works. Who knew.

These dolls do not fit in with the general rules of anatomy. Based on their proportions, they would not have room for their internal organs, where as the others you named would. That is, unless they live in the confines of a universe where they do not require internal organs or a fully formed ribcage. I mean...they…

Number one rule of art: Style is never an excuse for shit anatomy

If the ribcage can't fit with your doll/statue/drawing's proportions, then you've done something wrong. While there are certain common aesthetics in anime, the artistic ablities and styles range far and wide.

I'm fine with them having one size....but…

I don't buy it. Sales of Monster High dolls are way up, THAT is what is threatening Barbie's business. And Monster High dolls have body shapes that are even more exaggerated and thin than Barbies.

I really am not sure how this is linked to body acceptance because if it was all dolls like Bratz, Monster High ect would be falling because they all have the same body shape.

The point is that by saying "criminals= bad guys" we stop ourselves from thinking about them as people. A "bad guy" is a villain from a cartoon. A criminal is a fully formed person who is charged with breaking a law. They could be a horrible person, they could simply have been at the wrong place at the wrong time, but…

The same thing happened to me — I'd always had a nice pleasurable climax, but it was more of an "ahhhhhh" feeling than "oh my god I'm screaming and writhing with indescribable pleasure." So when I was younger, I thought I'd never had a real orgasm (like in movies), until one day I did some reading and realized I…

This is one of the nice things about the internets - getting to realize you are not a freak about something! Seriously, in our culture there is so much built up around orgasms and how mindblowing, phenomenal and amazing they are - but it's simply not possible for that to be the case for everybody. Because I know the…

It's easy for you to be self-righteous about this if it is fairly easy for you to have an orgasm. But for those of us for whom this is very difficult, even with people who know what they are doing and are really trying their best, it's a LOT more complicated. I've never had an orgasm with a person other than myself,…

I love how the 'Note' at the end quietly mentions these women had to pay for all services and experiences themselves. So basically the beef is they were allowed outside of their rooms? Being on a sequestered jury should not mean you are held in solitary detention. The fact any excursion required a chaperon is a…

Oh god, can we just not? Please? Because this only ever ends one way. The people with kids will turn into instant sanctimommies, all like "If you aren't a parent you will never understannnnddddddd!!!!!" and the people without kids will be all like "Why can't I apply for maternity leave when I get a new kitten, cats…

OMG THE CRUMBS. Or, don't wipe down the stove (after I cough *lysol wipes* to remind you) with one grand wipe and turn to me, grin and say "all done!" When there are still grease stains from the meal you cooked. I've talked this stuff over a wee bit with my lt bf, as in an ideal world I see him working part time and…

Absolutely true. We need to start exploring the difficulties of balancing home and work life in both partners, which helps give a helpful male partner credit for his part in the domestic sphere, but also holds him accountable for it.

Now that I've read this, I'm going to make it my goal to refer to every dad I know as a "working dad."

The concept of a "working dad" is considered normal in our society. So much so that the "working" part is considered unnecessary. You say "dad", and people picture him as a working partner in a marriage without prompting.

THIS! I am always boring my friends with my new feminist cause: supporting stay-at-home dads and involved dads of all kinds.

So just to recap:

Perhaps the idea is that we need to re-evaluate our work culture. I don't see why a law office (or any other office) shouldn't be able to close at 5pm everyday— they might make less money, but maybe that is not such a bad thing. Instead of focusing on always making more, consuming more, and, therefore, using WAY more…
