Yeah I’m a trans woman and calling this “misgendering” feels kind of insulting, honestly. If you say you’re comfortable with two sets of pronouns, you can’t act like it’s this massively egregious thing for people to default to one or the other. I get that people always defaulting to “cis” pronouns feels like they’re…

No! It’s on us to read people’s minds (or deep dive their Instas) to first know what pronouns they prefer, and also to know which are to be used in different contexts.

Honestly. This is so fucking stupid. The world is falling apart around us. Women in Afghanistan are about to be subject to a tirade of violence when the U.S. withdraws. The planet is burning alive. American democracy is on the verge of collapse. My city is filled with smoke. I can’t with this.

I’ve honestly had the thought that if we told these people that their unused vaccines were going to be sent abroad it might kick some of them into action. Cuz they hate science but they also really hate foreign aid.

I’m done. ZERO sympathy for anyone who refused to get the vaccine for any reason other than they have an existing autoimmune issue that put them at risk for taking it.
My wife and I kept trying and trying to get the vaccine and finally got an appointment in a small town 90 minutes away from us and were thrilled to get…

I surmise Affleck has a chronic emptiness inside that is not uncommon to addicts. Instead of filling the void with alcohol, he fills it with the dopamine rush of new (or in this case factory-refurbished) loooveee. 

Her parents are well known for being aggressively desperate stage parents who relocated the entire family to LA just to jumpstart her career. Her dad tried to start a bidding war for agents, so he was clearly motivated by money rather than choosing the best people to work with his daughter. They served her up to…

My best friend, who’s just as progressive/bleeding-heart as I am, lives in the South and has two kids; she was shocked when I told her I haven’t gone to Chick-Fil-A in over a decade despite absolutely adoring their chicken sandwich. I told her “it’s actually easier to NOT spend money at CFA than it is TO spend money…

so karen was worried about losing her job and her apartment for acting like a dirty bitch but not worried enough not to do it in the first place.  these fucking people. 

Lol.

Internalized misogyny, and externalized as well—I hear ya.

It’s Christian Bale in yet another transformative role! There’s NOTHING he won’t do for a part! Not only will he be bringing his star power to this version of Sex & the City, he will be performing the whole role using his Batman voice! It’s going to be UH-MAY-ZING.

Right? Looks like she’s wearing panty hose about to rob a bank.

Picture yourself as a 20-30 something women with a master’s degree from a private college in a liberal arts field, who likely has the student loan debt to prove it.

There’s nothing new about it. Saw it as a kid in the 80's or 90's. If you had weird hair and tattoos that was literally all you needed and my best friend and band mate at the time would happily tell you that. Throw in being in a band and you didn’t even need weird hair or tattoos. Women attracted to that image has…

I can confirm similar guy friends who would choose “normal” “hot” girls which led me to wonder exactly what were they subverting by being visibly subversive?

“Famous Women are Expected to be Conventionally Attractive and Famous Men Dont Have to Be” would be a better headline. 

I also have happy associations of the denim skirt I sewed in junior high (mine was a wrap, knee length). But I would say that the fact of the seventies saved us all from creepy religious associations. When I made that skirt, gunne sax dresses were in. The older girls were dressing like Little House on the Prairie with…

I sewed a skirt just like that, but in darker denim, when I was a junior in high school. It was my “dress up” look for when I couldn’t wear Levis.

Man that second one looks like she’s wearing half of a Kevin Smith costume.
