I'm sorry I wanted to read this but I am still stuck on the "79 dollars for a 1 day supply of food" part
The thing that gets me? Hilary Swank has two Oscars for doing the exact tough, body transforming, wrenching roles that, when male stars do them, lead to nothing but high profile work and $$$$$.
I think what bothers me most about the term "real woman" is that, in addition to creating a divide among women, it also creates a weird way of looking at ourselves. When I was thin, I had a rockin' body. Now, I've had a few kids and aged a bit, and I'm easily forty pounds heavier than I was back then. So, what? Do…
Boo fucking hoo. Spend some time as a plus-size, NON-CURVY woman with PCOS, then get back to me about people giving you booboos on your feelings when they talk about what makes a 'real' woman.
Both of these lineups feature women whose waists are smaller than their hips. I've never, ever seen a "body positive" "real women" campaign that includes my (apple-shaped) body type. Making a big deal of body types is always going to hurt or exclude someone and that sucks.
I hate the terms "real women" and "real men" in all senses. There's a lot of this patronizing "real women have curves" crap, but also those stupid buzzfeed lists of "qualities real women have" or "How real men date" etc. Real women have curves? No, asshats: curvy women have curves. And we're all real. And fabulous.
Yep. And as founders you can do that, most of the other women know well that they would be putting their jobs at risk to not dress in an accepted manner.
My business partner and I are in the tech industry (we're both founders and are women). We'll go to the huge conferences and all the other women (maybe 10% of the attendees) will be wearing super nice dresses and shoes. We don't own clothes like that, so we'll show up in collared shirts, black jeans, leather jackets,…
This is an excellent experiment! Now I want to replicate it in my job, but with a slightly different suit. My birthday suit.
It's weak, but I can get over it. What it means, though, is that I never, ever buy anything from them except stretchy tops now, because I know those'll fit. And the truth is that I don't even buy their plus line stuff anymore, because it's always so wonky. Instead, I just buy maternity tops (WHICH THEY DON'T CHARGE…
Did you look at the graphics I screen shotted from their website? You're telling me there's $15 of extra tailoring in the identical plus sized tshirt? You're telling me ON spends an extra $15 PER SHIRT to scale up to plus size?
The students initially identified themselves as being members of a rival fraternity
Watching stuff like this makes me wish I had gone on to become a dermatologist instead of getting my PhD.
So I'm actually a comet scientist who was up at a planetary science meeting at 1am to see this shit. He bought the shirt custom and got it about a week ago as per his Twitter. ESA's Twitter had a message of support for this horrible shirt on Twitter, but the deleted it when the flames got too hot. Unfortunately the…
Its not a good looking shirt and its not very appropriate for the workplace. But of course the perfect response to a mild joke is aggression. Ya know, I could have sworn that women were supposed to be the emotional gender, but apparently that's not true on the internet.
I heartily endorse both a reduction in the number of viral marriage proposals and an increase in the number of cat videos.
Thank you, Mark.
