Her eyes do not look happy to me. They have the fixed glaze of someone way out of their comfort zone and very unhappy about it. A tweak to give smeyes is something that could have been tweaked out post production, why keep the unhappy eyes?

I know someone who insists they are a cat. As well as rage for dead naming them, I’ve seen a kerfuffle for mis-speciesing them. *facepalm*

Ah, god bless LJ.

Methinks that there is a painting of her in an attic somewhere growing older on her behalf.

Yup, my eyes just stuck on that paragraph and I realised that she gets it. Even with a completely non-verbal role, I am quietly confident that she will portray that character not only perfectly, but also in a way that will resonate with many women.

Yep, had that, “sorry mate, sorry” when your “owner” appears. Honestly, I wish I had camera footage of this happening when MRAs bitch that western women are completely equal and have nothing to complain about. WE’RE STILL SEEN AS PROPERTY, AND THAT’S NOT THE WORST THING WE DEAL WITH. Dammit. ARGH.

I’m sorry that happened to you, it’s a perfect example of what forces women to be standoffish with guys - and yet we get all the hassle for being “stuck up” and “thinking we’re too good” for men.

Urgh, I’m glad that the guys in the group were able to help and did so, replacing your drink was a lovely thing to do as well.

Yeah, I don’t think these guys even contemplate the idea that a woman might not like them back, and if so has a say in what goes on.

The problem I get when I start sharing these experiences with guys is that a disappointing proportion get the #notallmen rage and start saying that I have a problem with men, or am over reacting, or try to explain the behaviour as somehow being my fault (“why didn’t you do x/y/z thing” “maybe he was just being…

I often wear a fake wedding ring after creeps kept coming on strong and trying to follow me home off the bus to my old house. It was in a rough area with low employment, a lot of the guys saw my being obviously physically disabled as a meal ticket as the UK has “carers allowance” that can be claimed by partners of…

Urgh, people don’t seem to realise the horrible effects of not voting.

Oh it’s deeply ingrained alright, the shit cherry ontop of that poop sundae is that if you manage to negotiate the shame assault course to having a modicum of positive self-esteem, you will then be risking being labeled conceited, it’s a lose/lose scenario.

If it helps you feel more part of the gang, I think she is holding her stomach in and using flattering posture in the images given.

Yeah, double / multiple straps dig in on everybody, regardless of shape. They could have at least stitched the straps over some mesh panels of a similar tensile torsion (same colour but sheer) to smooth the shape if they were determines to have strappy hell going on there.

This makes me hopeful that one day, saying “I may not have a body that fits a very specific shape, but I actually really like what I look like” won’t be met with a condescending “good for you” (complete with loaded subtext) and a pat on the arm.

Me too, bar my breasts are larger. Did you also do a little happy dance at seeing someone a similar size & shape as you being used to sell swimwear *and* looking damn fine doing it?

Holy fuck.

As in he specifically was nominated as an individual, or the films themselves were nominated? If we’re talking just him by name, what the actual ever living fuck.

Amirite???
