Could you be more condescending? I don’t know your history, and I don’t know if you’re a rape survivor, but ad infinitum is a rape survivor and you’re acting like she doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about, which is fucked up. The “Does that makes sense?” is the condescending cherry on top. If you read her…

Precisely. This is a symptom of society in general using BDSM as yet another excuse to dismiss women. Without it, they’d surely find another reason.

I’m 27 too. Don’t be scared! Try to enjoy it now before it’s 10 years down the line and you think how funny it was to worry about being old at 27. I know I felt old at 25 because I clearly wasn’t a college kid anymore and now I wish I were 25. Who cares about an arbitrary number you’re supposed to be married by? I do…

Well I didn’t go see family so I had what was, for a couple days, a delightful lazy-fest of just eating whatever and watching movies and doing some occasional organizational and cleaning stuff. None of my friends stayed in DC so I’eve just been chilling, and today I had no idea what to do with myself so I went for a…

I mean it could be worse but here goes. I came home from college for Thanksgiving and was very eager to eat real food. I wore my big pants to make room. I started with small samples though so I would know what I really enjoyed before getting seconds. As I started eating, my grandma, my cousin, my aunt, they all…

I would say that women’s decisions about makeup and clothes can be a little more complicated than that, is all I’m trying to argue. I’m allowing the idea that Betty has a little more agency than being forced into something by these girls - not to say she was 100 percent buying what they were selling - but that she was…

Oh I don’t think I’m vilifying Archie. I know he’s just a teenager. I know that teen boys and teen girls haven’t usually broken down all of these concepts about gender biases and such at that point. But I do see this as an opportunity for the comic to get at some of these issues in a way that could be interesting and…

I agree with Straw Hat in that it’s just as limiting for Archie to see Betty one way as it is for those girls to think she needs to fit a certain mold. We all try new things and go through phases and what we end up looking like may be somewhere in the middle - but I think the important point is that what she looks…

Not my boss but a coworker more senior to me...we’re all enjoying ourselves, dancing and singing along to the music. This guy repeatedly touches me, and although he was touching other female co-workers in a friendly, totally normal way, he was touching my waist and pulling me closer to him in a way that was fairly…

Yeah, that’s just a shitty thing to do. I can’t imagine how that would feel. And who is to say he’s not great at oral?

Most of the weddings I’ve ever been in, in the Northeast, have had 5 bridesmaids, but then again it’s rural and they were/are generally pretty young. I’m going to be in a rural southern wedding this year, Rihanna help me, and I’m going to do my best to be that bitch from a northern city everyone hates but who secretly…

I hate Twilight but also, she looks really hot in this photo. Conflicting lady boner and Twilight hatred.

It’s not easy to not go back to my old pattern of thinking if I do all the right things I’ll eventually get at least 75 percent of what I give back. Because I don’t even expect a 100 percent match. I guess I’ve just thought “No more giving the benefit of the doubt.” A man has to prove to me that he is going to be…

I have rebelled. That is that. I don’t have the patience to do that kind of work for anyone but those who prove to me they deserve it, though I have the luxury of being childless and spouseless. And when I see what my female friends go through I’m tempted to stay that way. My close friends and my family get 95 percent…

Or we could all get over the fact that women’s bodies exist and are neither “good” nor “bad” but simply are there, doing their own goddamn thing and living in the world.

I know this has nothing to do with her kindness, but this is a good look for her! She already has such a cherubic face that all that hair was kind of overkill, even though I realize they use lots of extensions.

The thing that frightens me most is the ideathat I’ll go into an office saying I want nothing else and doctors will tell me my whole face is wrong and because I am stubborn and think they’ll say anything to get paid, I’ll leave without those procedures but feel shittier than when I came in.

It is, indeed, so weirdly sexless! Maybe that’s why it’s so comforting to me. A reminder of childhood and more innocent time (I was a child then). But yeah, even though she’s the owner of a bookstore and reads to kids, so it falls into the stereotype of how she “should” dress, I think she’d still be wearing a tight…

Her all beige wardrobe in that movie. It kills me. She carries it well but who else would without looking frumpy as hell? This minimalist style is coming back and we will all suffer the fallout.

I get what you mean, in that our culture values doms and dommes because our culture values anything we traditionally align with masculinity. But I think these guys are being treated so dismissively because they’re tech bros who are used to getting what they want all the time, not because they’re subs. That’s the sense…
