Who knows. Feminism is notorious for insisting that rejection of feminine modesty and other traditional values DON’T cause us to drop in value, become damaged goods, or invite disrespect/abuse, only to crap on women (especially young women, but really most women) who dress, present, live, and/or speak like they…

“People don’t have the right to impose their lifestyle on others who have an equal right to be left alone

I wonder if any of the slut-shaming ‘feminists’ who sided with Ariel Winter’s abusive mother and claimed that Ariel’s lack of modesty in dress makes her a ‘damaged Lindsay Lohan who lacks self-respect and is setting herself up for trouble/danger’ will defend this little ordinance against topless equality.

I see very few rap artists that ever get called out (whether the artist is Eminem or Ice Cube etc.) for the violent and degrading lyrics about women in their songs. There seems to be a huge double standard — racism is OF COURSE wrong—but why is sexism something that’s acceptable? Women are constantly harassed,…

I’m confused. Does CNN no longer report on facts anymore?

Yes and no. In this instance, it makes him someone who puts his need to make “edgy” racial jokes above the feelings of Black people; whether or not that technically qualifies as racism depends on how strictly you define the word. At the very least, it is an act of racial aggression borne of white privilege.

Not an African American person (not American, not Black), so take what I’m about to say with an extreme grain of salt, but:

She likes them!!!! Indeed. What a novel idea :) (no snark either, I totally agree with that sentiment.)

I don’t get that either. Most of the time when I see Beyoncé, she’s not wearing pants (I love her btw, and I don’t care how much skin she shows). So at what age exactly can an adult woman show which body parts? It’d be really helpful to have some kind of graph here to I know when to be OUTRAGED about a butt cheek.

i spent ages 15-17 wearing despicably short mini skirts and turned out JUST FINE. i loved a good mauve pleated corduroy American Eagle micro mini, goddamnit!

I wore booty shorts from 17 until...well, now. I’m a productive member of society without drug or drinking problems. My mother was a prude and hated my booty shorts. She made inappropriate comments about my self worth because she related my choice in attire to how I saw myself. She was wrong about that just like I’m…

Lots of famous people have done so - Even Hillary.

Meh, or she’s a newly adult young woman (in Hollywood no less) figuring out her looks and limits while she’s young and tasting the freedom of adulthood.

Right! Even if we disagree with the choices she’s making, who flippin’ cares? She’s not hurting anyone and I haven’t seen a compelling reason to assume she’s even hurting herself. She’s young and proud of her body. Why the hell are we telling her to cover up? If she was a cam girl, we’d be like yasss! Slay! Get…

Thank you. This finger-wagging & support of an abusive, controlling parent is not what I expected to see here in the comments.

^^ This. 100% Let Ariel Winter live! jezus christ... She had to get a breast reduction at 17. She had to take her mom to court. That takes a lot of courage. Let her enjoy the fact that she’s now comfortable in her body. She’s 19 years old. She’s had apparently very little parental support. People need to let her live…

Yours is the best comment. There’s so much pearl clutching here I thought I was at a Republican Women’s “Empowerment” luncheon. Isn’t this site pro-sex workers but suddenly a 19 year old in a bikini is OMG?

Wow @ the pearl clutching in the comment section already. Who cares if a 19 year old woman has her ass hanging out? The amount of clothes she wears has nothing to do with her talent or career. Also, showing some skin when you’re young does not set you up for a lifetime of trauma and embarrassment. Super surprised to…
