"cool" and "pretty" are equally shallow attributes in products

You're right. You never said that it is exclusive to women. You just ignored that non-women do that because you want a "reason" to attack women as a whole, based on a stereotyped behavior. Change the word from "pretty" to "cool" or "manly" and whooboy, let's talk. Sports cars? I promise you, honey, a high-end sports…

i'd caution any straight people against speaking for queer people. i'm a therapist who works at a non-profit, LGBTQQI mental health center and who identifies as bisexual, and i can assure you that any time a public figure makes a tasteful statement about non-normative sexuality without explanation, fear, or shame,…

Ohhhh, man... That is SO Raven.

1. Your entire fucking office besides you could be women and you'd still be sexist.

No. Because it's okay to want shiny things with patterns on them. Women (and men) who, in your opinion, "validate the stereotype" (btw there's no validating a stereotype, ever), are human beings. Individuals. With a right to like whatever they want. Why would I hate them for liking the things they like? Dick move. I…

Dude, the women buying $1,000 purses are buying Apple stuff. Why? Because it has great brand recognition, costs more, and is advertised in the same minimalist "look at it and give us your money" way as the thousand dollar purse. Anyone buying strictly for looks is not reading your copy, so there is no point dumbing it…

I'm not angry about "females", but I will say that it seems very clinical, and it always sounds odd to my ear when people say it. It's strange, like using "bovines" instead of cows or something. To me it sounds almost derivative. Again, not angry about it, it just sounds weird. I think you can use "women" for any age…

Women and girls who are technology-savvy not only exist, they surround you. You have only a vague idea of our existence, it is true. You "get that [we] are out there," like UFOs or a non-disgusting diet soda. A hypothetical. A myth.

It annoys me because *pushes glasses up nose with index finger* 'female' is an adjective, 'girl' and 'woman' are nouns. Saying 'I work with females' is like saying 'I work with blue'. #grammarnerd

I'm offended because they think women know nothing better to do with their computers than find recipes and count calories.

Mm, nope. We're generally cool with "women". (Incidentally, "females" also doesn't necessarily encompass all women.)

Some of these are not selfies but I needed a good headline and didn't think people would be pedantic about it.

I'm sorry, but the last part is a bit like saying "I'm not racist because I have lots of black friends." You may or may not be sexist, but holding up your coworkers as evidence doesn't work.

I looked soooo much better as a senior than as a freshman. I finally learned how to dress myself and apply make-up. Plus, I was way more self-confident and better in the sack. There's no way I was trying to compete with 18-year-olds who'd just lost their pimples and braces and don't know how to navigate life, because…

This story has nothing to do with weight, but you keep focusing on the weight of cartoon women because that's totally productive and those women are willing and able to listen to your concern.

Yeah because there's a huge difference between 18 and 21 year olds when it comes to attractiveness. All 18 year olds are beautiful and all 21 year olds are homely. Yup, that's how the world works.

Well said. And not to stray too far afield from the topic, but I also think that with these "OMG YOUNG LADIES ARE OUT OF CONTROL" trend pieces, there's kind of a weird focus on being "happy" in a way that is I think not realistic for humans or even necessarily healthy. I know a lot of ungendered lifestyle journalism…

Nope, they're still not, and nothing's going to change that whether you're a fitness guru or some fat lazy dude who thinks only women should care about their weight and men shouldn't because durr i'm not attracted to men so why should i care abut their health lol!!
