If the universal age of consent in the US were lowered to 15, men would truly be out there trying to get with high-school freshmen and see nothing wrong with it. 

Men are trash. 

The Catholic Church paid a Catholic investigator to investigate Catholics accused of bad behavior. They said everything was A-OK. Who could imagine such an outcome?!? It’s not like the Catholic church has ever covered up bad behavior by their members before...

It wasn’t a pastie, it was a nipple shield. A barbel going through the nipple with a shield around it. So, it was exposed, but decorated! 

Salvador Dali.

Yeah, seems like the basis of this post is rooted in a projection of the author’s personal bias and not so much a convincing thesis that the subject would have a gripe about any of this.

Her father was born in Germany, her mother was mestizo and had one parent of Indigenous descent and another of Spanish descent. But Indigenous identity isn’t about genetics, and the fact remains that culturally, she was not Indigenous, her mother was Catholic, and she was raised in a very Europeanized, middle class…

Usually, the reason we see some exhibits and not others is a lack of information or lack of artifacts. Frida Kahlo was born like 7 years after Wilde died. Just by basic time scale, artifacts belonging to Kahlo are more likely to remain preserved than those owned by Wilde. Someone who might be a more direct comparison…

“I can’t think of an exhibit for a male artist where I was confronted with the clothes he wore, or the products he shaved with, or a gallery ethos that inexplicably connected his self-representation with modern “brand building.”

Exactly! I think she would be very amused, and secretly flattered, that she’s become a fashion icon. 

She was the master (mistress) of the selfie in an age before the digital camera.

but how cool would it be to see a broad survey exhibition on beauty and fashion of the greats of both genders? Picasso’s striped shirts, Dali’s moustache wax, Schnabel’s pajamas, Okeeffe’s jewellery....

You’re supposed to care about this because Kahlo consciously dressed in a way that was meant to make a statement. It was part of (and she intended it to be) her expression. I’m not sure whether this exhibit is addressing that?

“The over $800 million ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ has grossed”

Disgusting. Rumours about him have been raging for years and years. It’s the only reason I know his name!

She hasn’t said shit about it, so we have no idea how she feels, and it bothers me because it’s my opinion that it’s - as previously stated above - controlling and disgusting, for a myriad of reasons. A “first world problem” would be me, deciding if I want to replace the TPMS in my new Volvo S80, or just leave it as…

I shuddered when I heard it. I see why he thinks it’s this great story about getting rid of artifice and being “real” - but what a sexist, condescending, paternalistic thing to do. If a co-worker/boss I’d just met put his hands on me in such an intimate way, for any reason, I would be like, “Whoa, dude, what the…

If someone tried to remove my makeup without my explicit permission, their arm would get karate-chopped SO fast.

WHY is nobody else squigged out by the make-up wiping thing?!?!  IT’S SO GROSS AND CONTROLLING AND I HATE IT SO MUCH

Pretention is such a huge turn off.
