I’m sure it is. Life is full of annoyances, including occasionally being faced with things that are too high. It’s not like the airlines put overhead compartments so high just to be dicks. If they dropped overhead bins down another foot, you couldn’t safely or quickly exit the row. Your choices are: using a…

Because this article would be too short if it just said “ask someone taller.” Seriously, I have a hard time believing that more than one person (you might hit one jerk who ignores you) would decline to help you with a bag, if nothing else because it makes the plane load faster and/or the people sitting in the aisle…
I just use my words. “Excuse me, tall person, would you please help?” Tall person always says, “Of course!” And then I always reply, “Thank you so much tall person.”
A blanket ban like that seems incredibly impractical. Have you ever posted vacation photos online? Or taken pictures at a family member’s graduation, sporting event, holiday party etc. Frequently, other people are going to show up in the pictures and 98% of the time it’s completely benign. I think everyone should have…
What they did is fucked up, but the twisting of language is crucial here. Words matter, and throwing “assault” at a picture is a stupid and insidious way to phrase it
I certainly hope none of these people were planning careers in the public realm, because if having people say mean things about you online is enough to put you into therapy...
Hell, I’m pretty sure you couldn’t even hack it as a writer on Gawker if that distressed you so.
commenters assaulted the pictures with awful comments of a sexual nature.
this is the exact kind of crowd i'd expect to see at a "womyns" music festival
Can we talk about how cute her kid is too? That is one good-looking family.
Yes, it is that relentless. Though decidedly less glamorous than even this unglamorous insta pic makes it look. It’s also awesome if you’re at a place in your life where you can mentally/emotionally/physically/financially handle it, which rarely ever happens all at once to anyone who’s not rich or famous, so, maybe…
As someone with no kids, but the person people call when they need a break (or you know, to take care of your kid for 18 months while you work out some things), the answer is yes. Then no. Then yes again. And then they leave home and you cry about it. Mileage may vary.
Kind of funny this is controversial considering there are many people who think breastfeeding moms in public places should feed in the restroom.
ok, real talk: why does this woman look cuter BREASTFEEDING ON THE TOILET than i ever have in any of my Instas??? I am not that hideous! i need a stylist/photog.
That kid may be old enough to sort of (not in words, but gestures) ask for the boob. So she may have crawled/toddled over to mom and grabbed at her shirt (because you often give up on closing the door at that point). And hence this hilarity.
“Men and women do have different brains. This is a biological fact.”
I would just like to pause here and tell you that I love you. I’ve been reading Jez articles all day and have found your comments to be insightful, intelligent and delightful.
Well that’s true. Although I could probably quarrel with you forever about the nature of those ‘full lips’ and then I’d be pulling out my phrenology skull and throwing down over the difference between ‘bee stung’ and actual, wide full lips. However!!!
Ok. Yes, you can extend this to all concepts of cultural appropriation and you are bound to hit a wall. But that is a straw man in the context of this article. This article is about increasing the size of white lips to make them more desirable. The issue is that they were not “desirable” before white women decided…
How about full lips have always just been desirable? I don’t think women of color have the market cornered on this. This is why lip product was even invented.
