I just hate the word "modesty." I feel like she's perpetuating the ideal of a "good", "modest", "virgin" woman and therefore suggesting there's something wrong with the opposite way of dress and behavior. We should all be able to dress how we want without it being "right" or "wrong".

I'm afraid my resting face falls more along the lines of, "Woman Despondent About Blanket's Lack of Sleeves, Who Has Yet To Discover The Magic of Snuggie." (Or Wdabloswhytdtmos-Face, for short)

Not sure. It seems like it has enough recommendations and comments to be visible, but I guess kinja doesn't love me back :(

Thank you! And yeah, it's fucking infuriating. There's basically no way to win as an American woman. The system sets us all up to fail and then blames us when we do.

My mom always spoke to me like an adult and allowed me to voice my opinions, giving into some but certainly not everything. When she and my…

GOP: Providing licenses for women who we decide can rise to the top and license-free guns!

Rick Perry bashes woman who chose to have her child, raise that child, and rise to success rather than get an abortion, because she believes other women should have that right.

Whatevs. I wear my Yamiclaus with pride.

I saw it on twitter and sent out a mass text to all of my friends who are Jezebel readers, and there was must rejoicing.

I DON'T KNOW. I haven't even heard mention of it. This is why I'm quitting my job.

Literally no one in my office is talking about this, and I'm in a room of twentysomethings in a big city. I don't understand! I wanna be all like...

Yes, poor people in America are systematically oppressed regardless of race. I am in no way suggesting they're not. What I am suggesting is that racism and sexism are at the core of American society and to ignore that by "not looking" at race or sex is to perpetuate the problem, which is why we need affirmative…
