I bet she knocked off somebody else's hat with her own hat.

As someone who has long suffered from the debilitating pain and trauma of "upside down face" (technically known as Faceus Oopsie-Daisus), I'm infuriated that Disney chose to change this. Especially when Sleeping Beauty so obviously had upside-down face in the book. I'm writing a strongly worded letter and starting a…
For all of its bullshit - this is why I love Jez. It's a place I go when I feel crazy - and I almost always realize that actually, I'm not the only one who has experienced something, reacted somehow, etc. Thank you for your support and your kind words. I find lots of little ways to protest... reclaiming my space has…
Being the cool chick is really compelling. I mean, look at the way we idolize people like Jennifer Lawrence or Mila Kunis who come across as "cool" girls who are able to hang with the boys and yet still be beautiful in a really traditionally feminine way.
This is exactly what I was saying to the commenter above who called for women to "FIGHT!"
I think self defense is a great thing. But these smaller things, like your bosses comment, I mean really am I going to fight him? No I'm going to laugh it off and move along because that's easier than making a big deal out of it.…
Your comment really resonates for me. I am an expat aid worker and for a while, was in a position of authority. I was 27 and responsible for people's lives in a war zone, reporting to clients like the World Bank and the British Government. It was intense, I lived in a dark, big house alone but for the two teenaged…
I hear you. Laughter is a totally normal defensive reflex. Laughing defuses situations and is an automatic reaction when something is unusual/unexpected. I have situations in my past where I laughed when I should have ran screaming, and it took a long time to realise that my laughter didn't make me complicit/guilty…
Ugh, yes. I've laughed off so many experiences from my youth, at this point I'd probably need hypnotherapy to really remember them. It's just something we think we need to do to appear/be strong young women. I wonder know how many times I was actually raped by boyfriends, but of course I didn't consider it rape…
I think it really comes down to feeling like you have no power. Everyone has an awkward response, some people laugh, but it's also the same when you feel like you have no power. It's the same as a bully to me. If no one pops the bully, he'll just keep bullying people. Self defense is key. We can yell and scream for…
"I would give blow jobs because I liked giving blow jobs, not because I cared about making guys like me (lie). Because that, from the age of 12 to 27, was my muddled interpretation of feminism. Unfortunately, it didn't make me impervious to sad, misguided, insecure men."
I am almost more creeped out by Leslie Lessen's behavior than by Richardson's . How does she sleep at night? How does she justify pandering to his sick behavior? Does she get off on it, or does she just think it's part of the job? There is no way in hell I'd help my boss creep on women.
You're very brave to speak out and BRAVO. I hope you receive tons of support for this - please know you're definitely receiving it from me, and I'm sure several commenters here.
This is basically how my dog acts when you walk out of the room and walk back in.
aww and now it's fathers day. Here's to awesome dads!
That's awesome. my father is determined to have a viking funeral. He wants us to put him on a raft and shoot arrows into him and send him out to sea.
That's fantastic, tbh.
...your dad is kinda awesome. And in the case of a funeral, certainly better late than early.
Elizabeth Taylor beat him to it - from Wikipedia:
I just started watching Six Feet Under (thank you, amazon!) so this makes me think of Rico's amazing handiwork.
