Cathy is always at those bake sales, flirting. When she hits up that Sears Worthington Career Woman sale, she gets all fired up about how 'this is her year' and how 'it's finally Cathy's time to shine' and pulls out tapes of "The Secret" and goes nuts about finding a guy. Last year, she saw 'Inception' and, while she…

Are we returning to this style costumes for good then? I don't like the updated versions, and I'm fucking sick of tutus!!!

The costume is in no way sexy, but it is arguably an active part in a culture that sexualizes little girls. A leopard costume for boys would be an actual leopard costume, instead of looking pretty in a leopard-themed sort of way.

This isn't a leopard costume. It isn't even a costume. It's a dress. And it's not even leopard print — it's purple and black. The problem with this outfit isn't that it's "too sexy," it's that it is NOT EVEN A COSTUME. It just continues the normalization of the idea that girls don't dress up like actual stuff for…

Also, I'd just like say that I'd put money on there not being a single "naughty" boy or unisex costume out there. Once I'm proven wrong, then I'll happily believe that "naughty" is on its way back its typical, misbehaving meaning.

Agreed, but consider that female costumes around Halloween have been geared so much towards the sexual side of things, that they couldn't have completely ignored the fact that 'naughty' would bring up some bad connotations.

If (in real life) you are a truly sexy nurse, and you are not dressing up as a plain and repressed office worker for Halloween, then you are totally blowing it.

If you read them back-to-back (let's say you were at the beach house for a week and that's alllllll there was to do because it was raining and you had PMS and your family was making you stabby), you'd start to feel as though they were all the exact. same. book.

That is a horrific gif...:(

OH GOD MY RAGE AGAINST JODI PICOULT KNOWS NO BOUNDS.

Meh. At least these names are fairly normal. I know a sorority girl (this is relevant) who is one of SIX women in her group of girls to name her daughter Harper. I know of another one, too. I mean, we're from Alabama so Harper Lee is a big deal, but you don't see too many Atticuses running around, either.

WHY THE FUCK IS HE HATIN BEYOND THE GRAVE?

So that's why he always made this face.

I must be misunderstanding here, what does microbiology have to do with the shallow industry? Why would microbiology majors be better than her at dancing?

I'm not sure why you would read into my comment that I believe it's a woman's fault when we are harassed. I am a woman. I've been harassed. My whole point was that no matter what I do I can't escape it. And I've taken extreme measures to do so. I wasn't advocating getting a car as a solution. Take a step back.

I had the best convo with a total stranger the other day. I was walking my dogs after work and he stopped to asked me if they were friendly and if he could pet them. I told him sure but slowly since the fluffy one is a resuce and is really jumpy. We started talking about dogs, our jobs, our lives.

"Aw yeah, Sun. Did you rise just for me? How'dya like to shine your luminous beams all over my naked body? I know the latitudinal coordinates for a topless beach you could meet me at. Wait! Why you hiding behind that cloud? I'm just trying to pay you a compliment. Bitch! I like the moon better anyway!"

"You could have shouted out, "Happy Friday! Yeehaw!" Any of those options would have been great. I probably would have waved, smiled, and started my weekend on the same high note as you."
