Doesn’t using a “C” make it more traditionally Irish? I’m super Irish and have relatives who spell it “Caitlin” and I’ve always been told that’s the traditional Irish way to spell it. But with “y” in there at the end, it doesn’t look like that’s what she’s going for...such mysteries.

10 starts for everything you said.

Ugh God you’re so right. This is making me think of all sorts of horrible things. Urrrghhhhh.

UGH. Here I’ve been making a concerted effort to read only novels written by women for a while, just finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt and am starting The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri aaaaaaaaaand, well shit, they are both written by women but about men. And both FANTASTIC by the way, but I never even thought about…

I definitely read “Yay for diva cup eggs!” and thought this lifehacker method must involve soft boiling eggs in diva cups. Which would not surprise me as they are magical in so many ways and it would be somewhat fitting to prepare eggs in them.

“Do we really need the bikini top at all?”

Thank you, I figured there was probably some valid stuff out there I hadn’t thought about, not being a parent myself. That’s legit and also yeah a little strange, I never thought about that swimsuits are cut to hold in women’s boobs, and how that doesn’t apply to little girls’ swimsuits, so maybe should be changed?…

Chah. Well said.

Why would a string bikini be inappropriate? Also...what exactly is a string bikini? (lolz at my lack of fashion anything knowledge)

Huh. Each to their own I guess. Bikinis, one pieces, thongs, whatever. People, including women, including little girls, should be able to wear whatever without being responsible for other’s (men’s) reactions/potential creepy sexual feelings about it. Because that’s the problem. Not a little South American girl in a…

Eurgh that IS gross. Not the concern that kids might see it, but specifically that it will become a trend in kids swimwear and that’s gross because....??? AHHH. Rage indeed.

Fuck them. You (and all women) deserve better than that. So glad you found a new job, here’s to hoping they’re more understanding of the things that are necessary to keep humans on the planet.

Haha. True. Also hard while not stoned.

Doesn’t it kind of look like she straightens her bangs tho? Like me in the 90’s. Curly hair but for some reason gotta have those bangs and they gotta be straight. Eurrrgh.

That picture. The way she’s looking at him with that simpering, awestruck look on her face is disgusting.

Oh a kid that age though, I’m wondering, what kind of suit would NOT be appropriate? I feel like kids that age can be naked at the beach and you see that all the time and it’s like “meh.” So would a bikini not be ok? Because it’s “revealing”? What is there to “reveal” on a really young kid’s body?

Right, this is something I know, and of course there’s also the fact that, well, just look at how terribly rape cases are handled what with this backlog, as another reason to not bother reporting it. But my point was more about fear of the unknown/what’s possible - many rapists never know if the survivor reported it…

It’s thought to be even less than half :/ but I was thinking more about the fact that plenty of rapists might not know if the survivors reported it or not, and so might be scared about getting caught even if it wasn’t reported.

Ahhahahahahahaha yes!!! I am learning Ruby basics and everything people say like this makes my mind immediately jump to code that would convey it. Sometimes I think I’m losing my mind. So glad you said that and made me feel less ridiculous.

I seriously hope that rapists and serial rapists everywhere are feeling some pangs of anxiety that they’re about to be arrested for all the rapes they’ve committed in their lives. I hope they’re anxious as fuck and constantly somewhat nauseated and unable to get to sleep.
