No, children often show the same proclivities and subjectivities as a) their parents, and then as they get older b) society. This happens at a young age, by 3-4 years old.

This body type was popular during this era not because it was the most 'beautiful', per se, but because it projected wealth. Poor people tended to be skinny and malnourished (and often sickly), and exercise was integral to a life of labor. Meanwhile, a rich minority were able to eat more and leave the labor to the…

It's not fashion, it's a history of poverty and starvation. Having a large woman with wide hips ensured that she would survive hard times, and that she would be less likely to die during child birth. This last point was/is important, given the high infant mortality rates that correspond with a cultural proclivity for…

A culture that values all things equally is the most harmful, however.

Then, by all means, do NOT have kids.

Or, have both people work and don't add to the overpopulation. The 'child rearing' factor in feminism doesn't bode well for its relationship with environmental and economic sustainability.

It's becoming increasingly impossible for anyone to call themselves a feminist, given the wildly divergent and/or contradictory tenets of multiple 'feminisms' today. Radical feminism, of which I am a self-proclaimed adherent, does not play well with many popular forms of feminism that fail to see Capitalism as an…

So anyone can call themselves whatever they want, and that makes it true?

That doesn't jive with the increasing militarization and police-ification of campus security that are given more and more leeway to act as a police force and criminalize all forms of student behavior. College students have been one of the fastest growing demographics in the prison-industrial complex during the past 15…

Serena is super cut, though. Her bulk is very defined, whereas Taylor's build is not as muscular. Whatever though, if she rocks, then she rocks.

Disagree. It's not all men. It's some men, and by identifying 'some men' you are able to identify specific behaviors and beliefs that perpetuate violence and misogyny. By lumping all men together, you lose the ability to differentiate the poor behavior from the productive.

The 'same men'? Unless it's the exact same 'man', you're lumping different men together as having a singular yet contradictory opinion. Doesn't make sense, but neither does the 'don't dress like a whore' idiocy. Just saying.

The reason why many women (and myself, a male) carry mace is to have a weapon that keeps an attacker at a distance. Your keychain forces a close physical interaction that wouldn't likely go too well with disproportionate strengths between attacker and victim.

I'm no fan of the a-holes, but I find it strange that a public website and comment forum should be considered a 'safe space'. There are private message boards for that purpose.

I'll be happy when we give all of the stolen land back to the American Indians. Yes, all of it. And if we can get a law passed, I'll be the first to go back to Europe.

I would tear apart your 'argument', but it seems like this article and other responders have already done so. It's called birth control. It's called reduction of production and consumption. It's called de-centering humans as the most important component of the planet, particularly given that the only human…

Right, because feeding an overpopulated planet is much more important than making sure that a thriving and diverse ecosystem (with humans playing only a small part) is sustained. Why don't you check the populations of other large mammals and then tell us more about the billions of humans that somehow deserve to use…

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO KEEP SLATHERING OUR BODIES IN CHEMICALS. ALL. DAY. LONG.

Or, because people feel like they're a worthwhile person, despite being told 'no' over and over again, creating and internalizing both a sense of longing and anger vis-a-vis rejection. Recognize that a lot of those dudes weren't born like this, their personalities were shaped by experience - and only part of that is…
