Yeah, if schools and universities are using that as an excuse, they should just go ahead and institute a "business casual" dress code, which I actually don't think is a terrible idea (at least at the high school and college level). If professionalism ACTUALLY is the issue, solves the problem without having to resort…

I've seen a lot of people defending dress codes as encouraging "professionalism" because you can't wear whatever you want when you work and I really don't get that. I've never had a professional job where it was okay for me to wear jeans or shorts and a t-shirt to work, but that is pretty much what I wore in high…

I know you're being rhetorical, but can I vote anyway? It's both! No matter how you dress, you're not going to avoid people projecting your sexuality and personality onto your clothes and self-presentation. So you might as well dress however the fuck you want to.

Thanks for sharing your measurements! They are relevant!

And you can still critique. Thanks for the pedantry though.

I dunno. I'm a person of color and if I said that "Oh you know anti-racism and civil rights, it's like watching paint dry amirite?" I think people would be understandably pissed. She's building her dumbass career and persona on some antiquated feminine icons though so I'm not really shocked.

Oh, PLEASE. Like we can't do BOTH. IT'S CALLED STAR TREK: VOYAGER and also the FUTURE. SPACE FEMINISM, LADIES, FEMINISM IN SPACE. WOMEN GET TO WEAR SHINY SILVER JUMPSUITS ALL DAY WHILE DRIVING SPACESHIPS AND AIN'T NOTHING ANY MAN OR MALE ALIEN CAN DO ABOUT IT. GET WITH IT, LANA.

At this point, I think people need to stop asking celebrities about feminism because you're rarely going to hear an intelligent response from them.

If male nurses get so distracted by the female body, they may wish to reconsider their chosen profession...

I hate clowns so much I can't make myself watch this video. He might sound like the voice of God Himself but I will never hear it.

Same, but I find it so depressing that a police department doing its job w/r/t sexual assault is exceptional. It should be the rule.

Nah, it's pretty funny. I imagine the effect is somewhat lost in text.

I think he was trying to distract her with humor, vis a via making it all about him instead.

Men have more than fuzz. And act with fewer childish antics (like egging houses and abandoning pets). Someday he will be a man. Today is not that day. Tomorrow probably won't be either.

I had to take a break to go cry in the office bathroom while writing it, so I feel you, sister.

I am furious right there with you girl. And here is why. I don't want to be afraid of men. I don't want to think that anytime I walk past a man and I am alone I need to be on the defensive. I don't want to cringe when I am out for a jog and a car pulls up on the side of the road to park and all I can think about…

God, I'm so sorry all that happened to you and that you had to go through it alone.

"I'm furious that my parents ingrained in me from a very young age that I should never wear heels because I should always be ready to run at a moment's notice"

I don't know if it's that I'm still feeling so deeply saddened by the Isla Vista shootings of a few days ago, or Maya Angelou's passing, but by the end of this article I was in angry/exhausted tears. It feels hopeless sometimes, because no matter what you say, there are still people who don't believe any of this…
