Those three bear no resemblance to who they used to be. They can obviously do what they want with their bodies, but I think it is reprehensible that they are basically selling this highly surgical aesthetic to women and (mostly?) girls. Like, no honey...you did not get that ass from squats. And no, those lips are not…

I agree. I don’t think this is about saying these women are ugly or otherwise not worthy. It is about pointing out the ever-increasing pressure to be “perfect,” how that ideal continues to evolve, and the false notions of beauty and physical standards it gives to people, especially young women and girls. Someone…

They didn’t like Luckiest Girl Alive either (at least at the time I bought it) and it is a book I still think about.  So good.  

It can also help with depression and brain function.  The headline of this article is very misleading.  

And my friendster.  

Ugh, same.  At least I have not layered, teased and hot rolled mine beyond any recognition of its natural shape and texture either.  I cannot support that level of hair torture.  

I think you can I appreciate photos like this for what they do, but also realize that if the ball stops there, we haven’t gotten far enough, which I think is the point of the article. These photos normalize (maybe glamorize) the visual of a woman nursing a child. That is important in a society that sees breasts as…

I just wanted to say you did a good job! I am still breastfeeding my baby (toddler!) after almost 18 months, but it was easy for me. I truly admire women who have had challenges with breastfeeding and stuck with it...and I also admire women who know when cash in their chips and say, “this is not working for me/us/my…

This banned goes on and looks the best of all the ones I have tried too. It also works, which can be hit or miss with mineral sunscreen in my experience. 

Alba Sport mineral sunscreen is very good. It goes on very light and smooth and is somehow clear even though it is titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It has worked well too. I also love california baby for my daughter and my face. It has a whitish tint but it’s not too bad. They also make a tinted one that I haven’t…

SHHHH! Let’s keep this to ourselves.  

Yeah, I don’t hate it.  I just think it’s hard to do a “feminist” book for  baby because, well, they are babies.  My daughter has really liked that book since she was about that age. She is 16 months old now and still likes it a lot.  

I agree with this. I made a comment above about what bothers me about these books. I think what maybe I didn’t articulate all the way is that the tend to be presented only to girls...like the advancement of women is solely on them, when really everyone needs to be reading these books. Boys need to be taught about…

I bought one called “Feminist Baby.”  I guess I don’t know what I was expecting, but it was not that...  My daughter loves the bright colors and illustrations though.  

My problem with these books, and “badass” girl culture in general, is that it still puts the onus on women and girls to beat society at its own game, instead of on society (i.e. men and boys) to change.

On that note, the people tasked with watching the pool should be at least sober enough to legally drive.

You definitely did. Thank you for trusting your instincts. As a former lifeguard, I always thought it was better to go in after someone that ended up not needing help than to end up with someone on the bottom of my pool. Everyone being a little embarrassed is better than the alternative.

Judging others, how other people aren’t as good as them, how much better they are than other people, how much better their kids are than other people’s kids, Pro-Trump propaganda....

This is dead on. Also, I always wonder why men say this like we should be saddened by this loss. Like, sure a genuine, non-harassing compliment on an outfit is nice. But if the trade off is foregoing a comment on the color of my new sweater for a safe, harassment-free environment, then great. No compliments needed. No…
