Oh I don’t know...I think it may go something like:

Yeah, I clicked the link wondering “Oh crap, what happened to Purity Ring???”

Yeah, my all-girl Catholic high school had the Father-Daughter dance, but it was just a cute thing, not a creepy Puritanical thing. I mean, we had regular dances, too. My friends always went with their dads and had a great time, and I always envied them because my dad was...I’ll say...unreliable:( I love the idea of

I remember the whole toe-sucking scandal! First time I went to England (1992), they were selling novelty toe lollipops in the shops.

I mean, they make decent plus size clothes now, so us fatties have all of the power and are taking over. It’s not like if a slightly above size 2 girl shows up in a show she’s automatically a punch line, a wacky best friend, or immediately murdered (if it’s a thriller). The balance of power has totally shifted, and

Yep. I remember what a mess that was in 1994. Ah, Katie Roiphe. Still shitty after all these years. It saddens me that she has a career.

Excellent point. Reminds me of Chrissie Hynde blaming herself for her rape.

Translation: “I was an attractive, wealthy woman who made the patriarchy work for me, and I don’t like seeing that status quo challenged.”

Granted, this was 20 years ago, but I never encountered the kind of street harassment as I did when I was in Paris. A girl by herself could not get a few feet down the street without getting hassled by some creeper. I hope things have gotten better, but I seriously doubt it.

Not just feminist, but militant feminist! Working in women’s bookstores in the 70's feminist. Feminist before it was comparatively mainstream and borderline acceptable.

I feel this way about Morrissey. Still love The Smiths, still love a lot of his solo music, but he’s an awful human being.

Fucking overrated. Never got the hype for Dylan. Give me Leonard Cohen any day.

Yeah, I’ve been really disappointed in Threadless as well:( They have such great design, such terrible shirt options.

Smaller people have the same problems. When I was a size 8, I had issues with finding the right clothes for a big booty, big boobs, and small waist. I still could find them, though. I’m a size 18 now, still with a big booty, big boobs, and small waist; and it is exponentially harder to find clothes despite having the

That was the first thing I noticed! Melania doesn’t get to speak for herself, I guess.

Yep. Even when the size chart says it should fit, if it’s a Chinese company, be very skeptical. Especially if it’s inexpensive. I ordered a cute 2XL cat t-shirt for myself from one that SHOULD have been an XL American size. My skinny eleven-year-old daughter is enjoying it very much.

Yep. These white purity types are so terrified of muddying their bloodlines, and they’re led by Baron fucking Harkonnen. Irony is not an easy grasp for them.

I was at a festival and this guy approached me. He was good-looking and charming, but every fiber of my being was telling me to run. There was no surface reason for me to run, and he was nice to me, so I returned the favor. We ended up dating for several months. He was an abusive, manipulative sociopath.

I think the problem isn’t as much that women are disturbed to be approached in general, especially if we’re out getting a drink; it’s that guys tend not to take “no” for an answer. Approaching someone isn’t a sin. If she says she’s not interested, just say “Ok, cool,” and back away, leaving her alone. If she makes a
