The people who sexualize women’s athletic uniforms also often overlook the fact that, in many instances, the women don’t have a choice to wear something more modest even if they want to. I do not believe that NCAA gymnastics uniform rules permit anything other than the traditional one-piece leotard with brief-style…

Mom of an elite gymnast competing in tumbling and trampoline. THIS SET MY SOUL ON FIRE. Not only have you outed yourself as sexist, but you have outed yourself as a pervert, sir.

At this point, I've already assumed he will. Never underestimate the power of bigotry. 

Real talk: Gary has an Asian fetish and was trying to figure out how to hit on you, since telling him you are Texan blew up his “Ni Hao Ma” strategy.

You became an international Grammy-winning music star before you were even of legal drinking age and struggled to reconcile the privilege of enormous fame with basically being treated like a piece of meat in every aspect (hence why you wore baggy clothing and felt the need to apologize for winning too many awards so…

I like Kristen Stewart too, never understood the hate. She’s a solid actress, she does her thing, and it’s fine. Every interview I’ve ever read with her is super refreshing—she’s smart and self-aware, with an internal chill that just doesn’t let the bullshit get in.

Also, if she knew it was a longshot win, then she’d be stuck with the “Taylor’s losing face” stories. 

i think i actually prefer 2011 Kristen Stewart (or anytime Kristen Stewart, i loved her in Underwater) but i’m sure that’s just because it was relevant around the time i was young enough for Twilight and other things to appeal to me. can see the comparison, though :) .

You know that her “look” is her “look” because she was so traumatized by adult men sexualizing her teenage body that she took to wearing oversized clothes and other ways of covering up/ not showing her real body to protect herself, right?

Also who dresses their child up as Billie Eilish for attention?

i can accept that both the music and fashion are simply not “my thing” (except her hair, which i actually really like), but i’m unable to see the profound brilliance in her words and every move that so many other people gush about when her name comes up. i think it’s fine that she’s not 100% eloquent and perfect all…

Are there really that many people who think Billie Eilish is just going to show up at their random mall?

I refer to her as “William Eilish” to my daughters and always say it in a heavy...heavy Scottish accent. They hate it. I love it. 

even if she did skip it for that reason, it seems fine. i’ve definitely skipped out on work meetings that have nothing to do with me.

That’s fucking terrible, and shame on his employer! That said, healthcare should not be tied to employment.

LOL at “a few grand at most.” My last job transition where I needed COBRA I got a quote of $1,300 a month! That would have been $3,900 for three months, not including other healthcare costs like copays and deductibles. This was 2012, and health insurance as obviously only skyrocketed since then. I was luckily in a…

My son works 50+ hours a week in a salaried position. His employer does not offer health insurance coverage because it’s cheaper for them to just pay the penalties.

I’ve been listening to the podcast You Must Remember This’s coverage of the Manson Family murders. In it they make Polanski seem like a total shit bag even before he was arrested for raping a minor. According to the podcast he treated Tate like crap and then after she was murdered he spent time in Switzerland and…

Then I imagine Roman Polanski is feeling a little bit nervous by this bit of news.

That movement challenged authority and “fought against imperialism, capitalism, racism, sexism and homophobia.” At the same time, it argued for “[liberating] children from the domination of their parents and allow[ing] them to be full, sexual beings.” Matzneff, of course, was among those advocating for such…
