Where disagreement = hatred, but actual hatred = just a difference of opinion, man.

This is a cruel and unnecessary attack. 

I think traditionally as well there was a real lack of role models for young gay men growing up - and while this is definitely true too of lesbians, celebrity women were often allies to gay men and so provided that comfort, if at an older age, that other people got as kids?

So many men are supportive of "conservative feminism" because it doesn't challenge their privilege one little bit, while allowing them to declare themselves allies and supporters of women, and use that to condescendingly chastise "angrier", "whining" feminists.

I do. Sydney had the worst press (the St Andrews and St Paul’s College scandals for example), but there’s a lot of pretty horrible conduct at other universities as well. I know of several incidents and “check lists” that encouraged illegal activities (including sexual assault) at Melbourne that didn’t get any media…

I think it was the combo of “hey can you please organise and pay for the music while I walk down the aisle and hey also give us $500 that will probably go towards the honeymoon!” that really put my back up?

Yeah my sister would be vomiting from pain, and she’s tough as nails, but doctors kept saying she was just being silly. It's inexcusable. 

...sorry, that’s so tacky. The point of a marriage is the legalisation of a loving union, and while the party is always fun, do it within your means, people! My godmother’s daughter did this for her wedding on top of asking for cash as a gift (the groom didn’t know and was super embarrassed), and honestly no one was…

Yep. My family haven’t been together since last year - my mum in particular has mourned missing my 30th birthday, and my admission as a lawyer (which she was going to move me for, but due to travel restrictions, couldn’t attend - and photos are banned).

The first proper studies are only just commencing into endometriosis, which is...just rubbish. 

Ehhh, the older universities have colleges that are just as bad.

Yeah my GP has been in full PPE for months, which was both slightly intimidating and very reassuring. I somehow got the flu very early in the season (in fact, probably the first in my Territory ha ha ha urgh) and knew that if I was going to get COVID, it was going to be while in a doctor waiting room or testing centre…

This is my sister’s experience - and despite the claim that doctor are aggressive Pill pushers, she went through dozens of doctors who alternated between offering terrible advice (like telling a 15 year old that she’ll be fine once she has children...) or denying her experience entirely (by telling her she was…

“Equality looks like oppression for the privileged” (or however the quote goes).

I have no problem with any guy embracing make up, and I’m actually really surprised how blatant and open he is about using it. The issue is the incredibly deep hypocrisy that arises when confronted with someone progressive who does the same - it instantly becomes something to be mocked and the homophobia/transphobia…

There have been a couple of horrific acts of police brutality (there’s currently a young man in a coma) but overall, yeah - enforcement has been broad and indiscriminate.

I was discussing this with US friends and every one of them said this wouldn’t be possible in the US because it would be 1) used disproportionately and violently against PoC 2) become so politicised that no politicians would dare do it and 3) be met with violent resistance.

The language is just making me so miserable, I mean “flapping jaw”?!

Jameela didn’t say anything about whether women should or should not wear these products if they want to - she made a post about the pressure women can feel about conforming to body shapes (usually the main purpose behind shape wear) and the way this significantly impact pregnant women in particular. She never said…

Yeah I was hoping to see what Jameela actually said, and...she didn’t say what Jez says she said. She commented purely on the pressures women face in staying within a socially acceptable range of body shapes, even when pregnant. Which like...is a thing.
