“Girl, you don’t need makeup / You’re perfect when you wake up / Just don’t go outside like that, okay?”

Oh wow, I never heard it this way. Mine just said it was because you couldn’t see my upper leg hair anyways (which is true, it’s fine blond stuff that you’d need a very close look to notice). I still don’t usually shave my legs above my knees :D

It’s also really helpful because I also weigh 160 but have a very different weight distribution than Amy. For me at least, it’s a good reminder that weight ain’t nothing but a number - because way too easily I can start believing that its somehow an objective indication of how attractive I am :(

I mean, the way that a lot of creeps work is that they only creep on people who are vulnerable - in this case, female comics who are not established and could have their entire careers ruined if they said anything. This means a creep of this nature would never even show a bit of creepiness around someone like Amy…

Nobody wins the oppression olympics.

But seriously, the comparison pretty clearly came about because deerlady was attempting to demonstrate the flaws in the cousin’s thinking, not because they’re directly comparable. Also, why the scare quotes around Native?

grift/grifter is actually a derivation of graft/grafter, but you’re right, nobody in the US says “grafter”, it’s always “grifter”. grift also has the benefit of not being a homophone with a word that can mean hard work! :)

I desperately need a GIF of that. Help me, internet people.

I’m adding a ! to every sexting question I can think of and every single one of them is hilarious.

I am laughing so hard I’m crying.

Scarleteen helped me out when I was a teenager. I can personally recommend it.

No idea how to eradicate it, but I’d think some actual consequences for rapists might be a good start.

I mean it’s really “fight, suck dick, or get attacked and possibly killed”

*shivers*

what the fuck is an innocent rape joke

I was super into it except for the part where he was like “Yeah but let’s be real all women wanna have babies at some point. Biology!”

That was less cool.

I can’t stop giggling at this image/headline combination. Good job.

Well, let’s start off with the rape joke during a game of Monopoly, and then maybe move on to the expectation of a wife’s purpose to be cleaning up after them once that’s sunk in.

Oh boy. This is fun.

I get the sentiment behind what you’re saying but you really need to realize that among the groups that even just use the Bible as their shared holy text, there is a giant range of ways they interpret it, and if you had to sum up the beliefs all those groups share, you’d come up with a very small…

Yeah, so my problem here is just more the general obsession that the sci-fi/fantasy/hero/what-have-you genre seems to have with women’s reproductive status. And it’s always either that the woman is going to have a superbaby that will save humanity (thus reducing her to an incubator rather than the hero) or she (and…
