This is a great point; how the hell does this dude presume to know what feels the most free for women? I’d bet if you did a survey, French women would not opt for a bikini as the most freeing thing to wear in public.

The government dictating what women are and aren’t allowed to wear, and how they must view their own bodies, is also dangerous and radical.

and you are free to believe just that

The police who enforce the laws on the beach wouldn’t know about my morals or beliefs about women in general. Or maybe they’d just presume my outfit was innocent because I’m white. Absolutely nothing about policing women’s clothing says women are free and equal to me, although that’s purportedly what they’re trying to…

I took my daughter to a municipal swimming pool and was pretty jealous of the two women there in their burkinis. While I was worried about my butt hanging out or if I looked fat they were just enjoying time with their children.

What that lady in the photo is wearing is almost exactly what I wear to the beach, except my outfit is called “swim tights” and “rash guard,” not “burkini.” And I don a floppy hat instead of the hair wrap. Why? Because I have very fair skin that fries in the sun. I tend to cover up entirely if I’m spending any real…

You don’t make people free by taking away their choices and controlling what they wear.

YES! The Beatles and the Stones and Clapton and all these old white dudes who consistently get to top the Top 10/50/100 “best of” lists, when it’s clear that the arbiters of these lists are also old/wannabe old white dudes just drives me insane. A) A lot of “classic” rock is kind of boring to the ears of a girl who…

I haven’t changed my mind about Bob Dylan. Nasal voices are nails on a blackboard, essentially, and he doubles down on it, so it’s all of the nopes for me.

Jewel’s response is lovely:

And not a thing of value was lost.

I offer my condolences to any of the family she had who might have loved her, and my congratulations to anyone who’s suffered under noxious judgment. Farewell Phyllis. You won’t be missed.

It’s sad she won’t see the first woman be elected as US president, but at least there will be at least four years for her to roll in her grave.

you should always say something good about the dead: she’s dead, good.

there was no internet

Matching tattoos are at least better than name tattoos. That way, if you break up, you can at least potentially say, “Whatever, I still think sharks are cool,” which is a lot easier than saying, “Whatever, I still think my ex’s name and the date we met inside a heart with ‘forever yours’ under it is cool.”

I would read that book.

I saw someone on twitter say “Drake is dating Rihanna. And Rihanna is single”. LOL

She literally bought her entire current face and body a year ago and now she’s acting like the only one that has a lock on it? So people who looked like that naturally before can’t have modelling opportunities until she gets tired of her current face and changes it again?

Unless she dies tomorrow.
