Think about how much more interesting fashion could become if it stopped making clothes that only looked good on women whose bodies most mimic hangers and started being about making clothes that look good on a variety of body types... It’s always so telling on a show like Project Runway when the designers have to work…

um that song is beautiful *sniffle*

omg yes, i probably watch her AI performance of “stuff like that there” once every couple of months, and i’ve always wished there was a full version for me to download!

We are the evil race gender.

Can we have clearer definitions of both "sex" and "netflix" before making our final votes, bc not all sex beats all netflix, and this is a very hard decision for me?

I really appreciate Daum repeatedly saying that this is a conversation everyone should be having. It says a lot about our cultural attitudes that it continues to be relegated predominantly to women's spaces, which I mean, duh-obvs, because women are tasked with pretty much all the reproduction-related burdens. I…

Did you just call me straight?

I'm mostly like you—pretty jaded and impervious. I have a lot of experience in male-dominated spaces, and very little hurts or bothers me personally. I find as I get older, though, that I'm more and more likely to be bothered for others, from a place of protectiveness and empathy. I know what it's like to be triggered…

That's too bad—it only takes a couple minutes to look up terminology with which you're unfamiliar. You're reading this on the internet, so there are even super helpful explainers and colorful infographics if the definition on its own is still too confusing to wrap your head around. The lazy students do always learn…

My first time, too. :( Here, have some of my misandry in #solidarity:

I think the wage gaps are a perfect example of why intersectionality matters in how we address feminist issues. While the letter of the law might apply to all women and might require certain data be gathered and reported, I want to know how explicitly this will lead to closing all wage gaps. Further, the paycheck…

White women make 78 cents on white men's dollar, but it's a lot more complicated when we consider racial disparities and their relation to gender both interracially and intra-racially. This table (and the AAUW article from which it comes) is handy for understanding the 78% figure.

Sterilization to avoid jail time is not a choice, dumbass. It's coercion, which is just a gentler way of saying "forced."

Okay, so let's spell this out for all the MRAs and racists and otherwise ill-informed and/or willfully ignorant among us.

stadiums for the 2022 World Cup have been built using slave labor and 1000's have died. That's actually the truth, though. Seriously, FIFA is genuinely evil.

Yes, but if free (and instant) porn were to disappear, we'd still have lots of other ways to acquire and view porn, whereas with internet stalking... well without that, we'd be forced to choose between no stalking or actual stalking IRL, and I don't want to go back to that.

Don't get me wrong, I love RBG. She's a hip, hip lady. But can we just for a second talk about how awesome Justice Sotomayor is? Not only does she write kickass decisions and dissents (so obviously feminist), but she's also adorable in like the exact same way my mom is adorable so I feel like we could just could have…

I think we need to chill the fuck out about this narrative of "pregnancy is super-awesome and the most special-est thing evAR" mostly because it's a vast overgeneralization with really far-reaching effects. Like... I think it says a lot that you feel like you can't mention that out loud. And yet, I think I've only…

Okay, this is neither mine nor is it a genuine meltdown, but it came to mind immediately & might be one of my most shared stories from my adolescence (subcategory: family).

i luuuuuuuuuuuurve showering while stoned. i work from home a lot, and on those days, i spend my morning working in pjs, then: smoke a little, take walk or do pilates, smoke a little more, eat lunch, smoke a little more, take a long ass shower. #gradschoolmightruinmylifebutatleastihavepot
