Yes! And as a tall woman, if it doesn’t hit the knee on the model, it will definitely not be appropriate work wear for me. When shopping online I assume anything “mid-thigh” will barely cover my butt. I think midi or longer length may be slowly coming back? Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking.

Reminder: fiancé = male engaged partner, fiancée = female. For a second I got excited thinking this was a lesbian couple but alas.

But paying people the same for doing the same job should be the bare minimum, as Vitamin V pointed out. And in the company overall, women and minorities not being represented in management jobs is the next level of problem to address. It’s like saying hey, we pay our assistants and managers the same whether they’re…

And the sheer diversity of languages spoken in Africa is mind-boggling! You can divide it up more simply based on some common official languages (thanks colonialism! /s) but the number of people who just can’t comprehend that not everyone in Africa speaks Swahili is just akjlkasfdhgkafjdhg

I think people who didn’t grow up around dogs as pets are generally more nervous around dogs, even before you take oppression into account - I give people the benefit of the doubt when walking my parents’ beagle that while I see cute excitement, they might see teeth/claws/etc.

Are they all 20 years old? Serious question - my dad’s big into TV & film and could name Nora Ephron’s work quicker than Aaron Sorkin, though he knows both. Sorkin just seems like one of those things young white men get obsessed with, making them think they know more about “great writing” than they actually do.

I mean, a lot of these trailers do reflect realities about privilege. Like having to make black actors look like they have bigger roles to appeal to black audiences, and yet the white trailers reflect the movie more accurately because most of the roles are white. This example surprisingly dumbs down the white audience…

I remember every time I watched UPN back in the day I’d see commercials for some of the same products advertised on NBC, ABC, etc, just with black actors. This is definitely not new, and the internet age has just made it easier to find different versions of ads for different demographics.

also not a lawyer - but I feel like I don’t have to tell someone to stop threatening me, so likewise I shouldn’t have to tell someone to stop stalking/harassing me.

That depends on what part of Pennsylvania you’re in - the major metropolitan areas have decriminalized it, and cops aren’t toting people off to jail just because they have a joint in their hand.

I love the Kotex U or whatever it’s called - with the black boxes and neon tampon packaging. So easy to insert, and not cloyingly pink as a bonus. I’m not a frequent tampon user, so these were a relief to find because they’re just easy and comfortable (well, as comfortable as tampons get)

It’s a great point that we never count actual # of times we’ve had sex - just # of partners. It just shows how arbitrary “the number” really is.

One of the most important takeaways I had from high school sex ed was actually a throw-away line our teacher used out of annoyance - we were tittering about something (female condoms I think?) and she told us anyone not mature enough to talk about penises, vaginas, condoms, etc isn’t ready to handle other people’s…

How do you count non PiV sex? If you consider yourself heterosexual or homosexual and have had sexual encounters with someone who doesn’t fall into that? My number’s deceptively low if you only count standard P-in-V, but I consider it higher from sexual encounters that didn’t wander in that direction. So I think…

I just don’t understand how “tenure” protects you from sexual harassment. Why is that kind of conduct not written into the tenure contract as a given? “Oh by the way, total academic freedom, but sexually harassing students, colleagues, etc doesn’t count and means we can fire you.”

The majority. My favorite was multiple men who just asked for my shoe size in their opening message. Nope nope nope nope nope.

Low expectations :) My standard approach to first dates was to get excited about the excuse to go out, either to a favorite or new place, and maybe get to know someone. If the guy also works out, it’s a bonus. If he’s not into you, it’s his loss and his life is all the poorer for it. But at the very least enjoy a nice…

I like that! Even on a text-light Tinder profile you could do “you had me at that adorable dog” or something. But I still prefer something that starts a conversation (“love the dog - what’s his/her name?”)

Honestly my response is to call 911 as I drive past someone flagging down cards on the highway - it’s the whole “I’m a woman alone and don’t want to take a chance” thing, plus “someone else is better equipped to help this person” and being in an area where said emergency services respond very quickly.

Any other tall Jezzies here who tried Aerie but found their underwear just does not cover their asscrack? Looking for a brand with similar quality/comfort that will actually cover my flat but elongated butt.
