Exactly. It still reads super dismissive.

Exactly. She might not be saying she's against feminism, but she is dismissing it as something optional for women, which is kind of infuriating.

Well and then there's the subtle hints about my eating and exercising habits and when we go shopping and my weight has fluctuated she'll look at the size 10 jeans I grabbed and will shake her head. .... You know, THE NORMAL STUFF.

Does it need elaborating?

Oh my god, when I first read this I thought the daughter was using the spinning attachments and I'm thought, "That is a TERRIBLE IDEA!" But okay, using the body of the handmixer makes more sense. Less things to get caught down there. Yeeeeesch.

And again, as long as everyone is on the same page and communication happens constantly to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy, open relationships are perfectly fine. It just takes work. :)

Oh, let's see.....

But you know what, even if he DID mistake her for someone who he would be totally okay with grabbing in public like that, you better be DAMN sure that it is that particular person. And let's face it, the chances of him actually thinking it was someone he knew for a FACT would be completely okay with him doing that is…

My mom LOOOOOOVES playing devil's advocate. I really don't know why, but she'll do the same thing to me. When I was telling her about female scientists erased from the history books, she said, "Well, you know TRADITIONALLY women haven't been interested in science." And I almost lost it.

Oh good, just want to make sure. :)

When we talk about rape culture, part of it is the idea that men have the right to do stuff like this because the women dared to go outside so they deserve what they get. Uggggh.

Are we asking why we watch by choice, as well? I mean I get that it's kind of interesting to wonder why we enjoy sad stories, but tragic tales are not new.

I've listened to her on a few podcasts as a guest and yes, she's pretty silly.

I'm suddenly reminded of Night Vale and the town's overall feelings on the dangers of books.

I don't hear it often in real life either. I'm lucky in that regard. And while my feelings about it would be different if it was used against me normally, thinking about how I feel when I DO hear it I realize my first instinct isn't negativity towards the person being called it but negativity towards the person using…

So apparently at menopause women just stop existing. I bet they also think women who have had mastectomies aren't really women, either.

I guess it's a good thing that we hear that a slur begins with "f" and the first thing that comes to mind is fucker instead of the other one.

Does no one remember when James Franco propositioned a teenager and made jokes about it later? And his career hasn't tanked. Like, Hill didn't have to make this apology, but he did and it seemed sincere to me.

I think it's that the LGBTQ community already gets crapped on as far as what they are being used as insults and hearing famous people continue to use that as an insult just makes it harder for them. So whether or not the internet has that feedback, it seems like Hill at least knew that instead of hurting that really…

Yeah, when I heard it was towards a paparazzi I still thought it was you know, a bad thing to say, but I took that with a grain of salt because I know that the paparazzi do horrible things to get famous people to react. It's seriously messed up and no one deserves to be treated like that.
