You're right, it IS a complicated issue, and heck yeah..I am all for lightening up.
You know where we can start? WITH NOT TAKING OURSELVES SO FUCKING SERIOUSLY (the universal "our", of course). Another place to start? Acknowledge the hypocrisy of "it's ok for us ladies to ogle dudes in a totally sexual manner, but the…

Rote, I agree that many magazines/websites discuss the topic, so often, to ad nauseum (including Jezebel).
((breaks out old-broad soapbox and gin and tonic))..feel free to stay**, I have enough to share. Otters are sharers by nature. We also hate pants.

This is a beautifully written article.

I will respect your 'I' privacy. Also, dogs are great.
The reason I did a double take at your name is because I am a roller derby referee and my derby name is Y. I. Otter.

Where IS my common sense? Since showing your child (almost)naked doing her thang on YouTube is ok, I'm guessing letting a stranger in your house to watch this heart-stopping level of "ZOMG. YOU GUYS.

If you hide your tampons (I'm not talking about putting them under the sink or discreetly tucking one into your sleeve on the way to the bathroom.

We are hoisting our Being Human Privilege onto them with no regard for how they feel about this shallow display of Humanarchy. They don't have the agency to speak up for themselves and I find this extremely distasteful.

I have been trying to set up "Jezebel Buzzword Bingo" to entertain myself.
