I’ve never seen Patriarchy theory as intended to direct blame, but as a descriptor of our cultural biases. Regardless, the idea that feminists or those using the word patriarchy believe in a “shadowy cabal” or even define the issue as driven exclusively by men is completely ignorant to the overwhelming majority of…

While I appreciate that you’ve given a thoughtful response, I disagree with you and think that it still betrays itself and the entire movement.

I tried to explain that in my response to you. “Unless you’re telling me...” - I’d copy and paste but can’t on my phone for some reason :-/

Yeah, that was an exaggeration for comic effect, number one, and I seriously give no fucks about the opinion of someone who feels it’s appropriate to judge a woman about her weight and comment about it directly and then get high and mighty about her returning the barb. This guy also continued to engage with me after I…

I’m a hardcore Beyoncé stan from 98, but this was suuuuuper underwhelming on every level.

Here’s how it “works”:

My point is that people do terrible things every day. If you can’t handle that without killing someone, you should probably just do everyone a favor and kill yourself. Yeah, she is terrible. No, she holds zero responsibility for what happened. If you can’t handle provacation, (specifically speaking to the people who…

Being an asshole in a non-violent, non-rights infringing way isn’t tantamount to endangering anyone. To imply such, would also imply that Muslims are so unable to control themselves that they react violently to every slight. That seems like a pretty broad brush to be painting people with.

So if an artist creates and a museum displays a crucifix in a jar of piss, and some crazy Christian shoots up the museum, the artist and museum director should be tossed in the slammer?

What about the security guard?

For some reason, I can never post pics from my work comp but she said it in an interview and shows them off all the time. Makes sense why she takes a tumble on the carpet here and there!

Meh, for some reason this leaves me cold. The embroidery is gorgeous and maybe if it were lined I’d like it more. More so than the dress, the shoes really bug me. From this angle they look like those ropey wedge sandals Target was hawking a few years ago.

Yeah Rihanna already killed this look and burried it dead.

Yes, if you are so politically correct and super sensitive as to think that a crack about stripper fashion being tacky (which it indubitably is) is synonymous with being “whorephobic,” and ALSO so stupid as to not realize that you’re committing an even greater offense by equating strippers with whores, then you are a…

Okay, this is stupid, but apparently the dress can still make me laugh-

How does making fun of stripper clothing equal “demonizing strippers?” Stripper clothing generally is totally cheap looking tacky; that’s its job. When I was a stripper I wore pretty much the exact opposite of what I wear in real life.

It would be a lot of tucking to wear that dress with cajones.

Believe it or not, it doesn’t actually have to be a competition. She looked beautiful, many other women also looked beautiful. The end.

At least Rihanna kept it real and showed off those pretty titties.
