Again, do you have any documentation to back the comments you keep making or do these things just come out of your mouth?

can you cite any facts to back up that statement?

“That’s just the way it is” has been used to justify so many wrongs in the world

Salma Hayek, not plus sized but curvy, is married to the CEO of The Kering Group who owns, among other brands, Alexander McQueen, Gucci and Balenciaga. I’ve seen her on red carpets in poorly fitting dresses from companies owned by her husbands brands. If, with that connect, even SHE can’t get a designer to fit her, I…

got any documentation on that?

I keep saying that those designers should have to explain to the company shareholders why they are ‘refusing’ to design clothing for 50% of the buying demographic. Maybe we should buy stock in some of the holding companies and show up and a few shareholders meetings

AGREE! I won’t shop there specifically because of the name.

as soon as their names are leaked, I think they will get a LOT of opportunity to hear from people challenging their assumptions/beliefs

no trash talking the second wave. We were in uncharted territory and we did the best we could with little support or direction. Besides I like pussy bows!

this! it’s the fetishizing of princesses - either way that bugs me. Some princesses were well educated and became powerful rulers. Other princesses were just pawns who were used, disgarded and had abused and tragic lives.

your middle paragraph, a million times!

and the sad thing is I was from the last generation to have Home Ec classes, where I learned household budgeting, how to make a quick dinner out of 5 common items, how to clean my clothes according to fabric type and how to dress based on proportion, color and cut. These things have all been incredibly helpful in my…

nah, I had a friend from Berkeley (sorry to truck in stereotypes but she really was) and she tried to ban all things Disney, princess and pink. It just upset her daughter who didn’t understand all the feminist philosophy behind banning a specific color or ruffles.

This is my complaint about standard romance novels, where you have Byronic badboy who only needs the love and understanding of a ‘good woman’ to change into a loving husband.
