I'm going to start a Ladiez bookstore, with no self-help books, no romance novels, not even any feminist theory books. Just rad authors like Lydia Millet. The blurb about Everyone's Pretty:

I question if that's a tongue-scraping issue, or a combination flash/contrast/white balance issue. I mean, we all know her arm isn't drastically whiter the way it is shown. This photo has been "dramatized."

I thought this was lesbian roleplay?

Seeing as how my husband and I were friends for years before we started dating, I'm going to have to disagree.

One of the biggest cultural differences I've seen with non-Wisconsin friends is they don't seem to have fond memories of going to the bar with their parent(s) as children. And I don't mean restaurant-that-has-a-bar, I mean neighborhood, hole-in-the-wall corner bar that always has 2-3 very old men in it between noon…

Which kept them at home, where they belong I suppose. Ugh.

I came here to say that in Milwaukee I'm tripping over vegan options, lol.

Because men, amirite?

In my mind, they make out post-workout.

Based on myself and close friends who are engaged/married, most people feel like it's not going to happen until it does. You can't foresee what your next relationship is going to be like, who it's going to be with.

Well, we didn't co-habitate for a long time, barely over a year. But even with that amount of time, I don't feel like we are on a honeymoon phase.

Marriage doesn't have to change you, or how you socialize.

So I've been married for a grand total of about 2 weeks so possibly take that into consideration when you read this, though I don't feel like a sparkly new bride so maybe that's irrelevant. Either way, this is my perspective, and my experience.

You're making me miss my green mohawk :)

Though honestly by attacking this platypus* for promoting one standard of feminine ideal I feel is giving the writer too much credit. If you make it to the end of the slides, what they're doing is far worse than that in my opinion, which is saying absolutely nothing.

Hahaha. I was thinking (after I posted it) that it sounds like I'd been married before!

Also in response to this from the article in question:

An ex of mine (as well as my current husband) love my short hair, as well as completely messing it up into "witch hair."

I would also like to add that the contrast to not being feminine because of height is not being listened to because you're short. I've noticed with both myself and other short girls that you have to adopt a very dominant personality. Though I doubt it's intentional, when you're petite people (especially men) have a…

Being 5'3", the idea of dating a man shorter than me has never come up. But I've noticed a trend of us in the shorties club dating taller men, 6' and more. I briefly dated a guy who was an entire foot taller than I.
