Kinda cool that they are speaking out, but the beefkini idea rings of a man trying to think of a way to make the pageant look a bit feminist to get free promotion/airtime. I just don’t feel that that was an organic movement among the contestants. The other stuff, though, yeah! And good for her for speaking up. That…

I’m glad these women are speaking out, and good for this woman for so publicly fighting back, seriously. But as long as these kinds of pageants exist, they will continue to be a symptom of a broken system that presents women as objects to be ogled and, yeah, groped. And worse. And more than that, as long as we teach…

Why are you insisting that she’s ‘falsely contrite’? She’s said repeatedly that hitting him was wrong, that she acted impulsively in the moment, that she’s reflected on what she did and why, and that she regrets her actions. Sounds pretty damned contrite to me.

Sorry guys, I should have known this would bring out all the MRA types. They’re like bloodhounds for this shit.

Yeah I can’t really disagree with any of that, except I did feel bad about it afterwards. Not that it really matters.

Oh my god, I can relate to this. Went through his phone when he went to the bathroom cause he had been pretty damn bad about hiding it earlier that day. Bam. Most recent text convo.

False. There is also the moment when the tiny lost boy touches Robin Williams’ face and says, “Oh there you are, Peter.”

It seems like so many men think that if they don’t have a burning, all-consuming hatred for women in the forefront of their conscious brains, that this automatically means that they respect women. Like, if they don’t actually think the words “what a fucking cunt” they are okay.

Just looking at these photos raises my heart rate, and not in a good way. I get shaky doing Xmas decorations on a ladder. These feats are literally beyond my ability to comprehend. Some amazing people in the world. It’s nice to remember that sometimes.

you literally can’t climb a lot of offwidth routes wearing a helmet. It’s impossible.

Old school is new school: more and more climbers are wearing helmets today, just because a falling rock the size of a lemon can kill you, and that’s a stupid way to die. I always wear a lid in the mountains; usually opt for one where where rockfall from ledges above is common (Indian Creek) or where groups of people…

“For me, it was kind of a challenge if I could ever do it,”

Did none of you at Jezebel cover Courtney Dewaulter beating out a bunch of dudes (by about 10 hours) at the Moab 240 recently?

But she’s not hot, tho.

So basically, it’s what dudes imagine their wives are talking about when we fantasize about letting go of all our responsibilities for a day (or week).

I find it interesting (but unsurprising) that the rules for government contractors are so tighter than actual government employees.

Yes, but technically, if they market themselves as a nonpartisan contractor (which pretty much they all do) and then they fire someone for expressing a liberal (vulgar) opinion while being publicly associated with the company, but not someone expressing a conservative (vulgar) opinion while being publicly associated…

So, she actually went to them and told them, unsolicited, that this was her in the photo. I’m not going to victim blame, especially because I think she has a legitimate case based on how her company handled an employee who expressed vulgar anti-liberal sentiments on social media while being publicly associated with…

I’ve told this story before and forgive me, will tell it to the day I die. I double finger saluted Pence a few weeks after the election as I stood all by my lonesome on a corner waiting for his Motorcade of Assholery to pass me by so I could finish a run. IT FELT SO GOOD. Now I wish I had mooned him. Mother was with…
