Yeah I agree. I don't feel that emphatically about it, but I do find it creepy. I think Jez was mainly playing around though, and I didn't get the message that it was actually trying to feed the hard feelings hundreds of JGL-loving ladies.

Thanks for your explanation and confirmation that I'm not completely splitting hairs here. You articulated that way better than I did.

Aside from the valid criticisms about the "girl vs. world" theme downthread, the plot of this movie just seems kind of all over the place and not cohesive. I don't really get the premise other than "girls can do anything boys can do," and even that I mainly inferred from Jezebel's description.

Thank you but OH GOD I PROMISE I DO NOT SOUND LIKE THAT LADY AT ALL. I'm like 5'3"-petite, not like a citizen of Munchkinland. No offense to that lady or to Munchkins, though. Those guys were very friendly to Dorothy and I have nothing against them.

Haha I appreciate the affirmation! I was 17 as well, and your description perfectly applies to my situation then too...and admittedly that was only like a year and a half ago. I'm glad that at least it won't be a surprise in the future.

If only I could heart you twice. #shortcommentsarepeopletoo

Yeah, I just posted something similar up there and must've missed your comment on this too. Agreed, a bit disturbing. I didn't feel like Jezebel specifically was advocating this practice, but some of the comments seemed critical of typically "feminine" voices being weak, annoying, passive, cutesy, etc. I don't think…

I feel like there's some *light* internal misogyny in some comments downthread, but maybe I'm just misinterpreting them, so I'm not trying to seem too hastily critical of some of the sentiment that I may or may not have perceived correctly. But why is it okay for us to criticize the overly "girly," "cute,"…

Agh! Interesting, but now I'm so self-conscious of how I speak. I think I just have a high-pitched voice naturally, but not incredibly or annoyingly so. I'm petite so I've always assumed that had something to do with it and that that's just...the way my voice is (you know, the smaller the creature, the higher the…

Wow, very interesting and thank you so much for the in-depth response! I'm not actually trying to get pregnant now; I was just curious. I'm not even 20 yet, but I do hope to get pregnant eventually. I'm on hormonal birth control, so I anticipate that once I'm ready to get pregnant, I'll want to do whatever I can to…

I had pretty good sex education, and blah blah blah I just drank a bunch of caffeine so I don't feel like getting too detailed but I was pretty knowledgeable before I had sex about things like safety, pleasure, etc. But my biggest sex-shocker after I became sexually active was that when I had intercourse without a…

Hahaha! In what context did Blanche say that? I don't remember that one but it's a pretty bitchin quotation, if I do say so myself.

:D

Bahaha. I was mainly kidding. I wanna have kids someday, but I'm hoping to adopt regardless of whether or not I'm fertile. Infertility isn't my worst fear, since I think pregnancy is beautiful and wonderful and I hope to experience that too someday but I'd be happy attaining kids however I end up doing it. I'd rather…

Hahaha. Yeah, I don't think it's my obligation to reproduce or anything and I fully acknowledge how silly I'm being. That was mainly satirical, anyway. I'm at least a decade away from babymaking and I take my birth control like a fucking champ. At this point in my life, I'm really hoping to raise kids eventually, and…

Out of genuine curiosity, not snappiness: What would a full-body cleanse in this context entail? I don't know much about it and that sounds pretty cool.

You didn't disagree with me, since you completely skipped over the meaning of my post. I wasn't in anyway advocating blackface; I openly expressed my strong aversion to it for its racist roots.

I'm a small 32B and haven't had a baby, but my mom was around a 32 or 34A before she had kids and her boobs eventually stayed at 34B or something after she finished breastfeeding. She said it's awesome because she got a little extra oomph, but her boobs were small enough in the first place that they never got "saggy"…

Ugh, I'm 18 and reading this article has already made me feel the metaphorical weight of my dried-out ovaries hazzing sads all over my reproductive system.

Don't be too discouraged yet! It takes the average couple who is trying to conceive about eight months before finally getting pregnant. It'll probably be a bit longer if you were on hormonal birth control for a while before trying to get pregnant, because that means it usually takes an extra while for your natural…
