Can you blame them?

Nor are the requirements of ballerinos (a ton of heavy lifting, insane jumping) expected of ballerinas, in classical ballet. Although contemporary ballet has more permeability with the roles. Lots of pieces don’t even use pointe shoes, and men have to be very flexible now as well, and women contribute a lot of muscle…

Ballet is about as abstracted from the body as you can get. It’s about lines and shapes, not sex appeal.

With the tutus, it’s really a matter of shapes and lines. Yes, a longer, floppy skirt would have an entirely different aesthetic effect.

And nobody should really do any sports either, I guess.

What do pointe shoes have to do with leg-hold turns?

If you’re too busy with work to volunteer more and you don’t even like these people, why would you want to have coffee in the middle of the day with them?

Senator Feinstein introduced a bill to protect athletes in these situations. Call your reps and ask them to support it. There is a lot going on and just because this feels like a no-brainer, right thing to do doesn’t mean it will happen without support. I called my rep about it and the staffer who answered the phone…

My doctor referred me to a chiropractor who helped diagnose and heal my back pain. I think it can be an easy front for quackery but not all are automatically quacks.

I read the Anne of Green Gables books until they fell apart. Rilla of Ingleside is my fav, or Anne of the Island because, Phil.

Counterpoint, I need space and if you force me to stay up and fight it out, it will be a complete disaster. I think learning how to go to bed angry is really important. Half the time you get up in the morning and it wasn’t even that big a deal. Not that every single thing is not a big deal, but learning when staying…

Learn how to go to bed angry. There is honestly nothing worthwhile about staying up to fight something out. You just get exhausted and worn down and I think it makes everything seem like A Big Deal. Just go to bed, sleep on it, and in the morning half the time you just let it go and it’s not a big deal.

Kim K is probably not shopping at Talbots though.

Just because sexism and racism can flourish in other social structures doesn’t mean that capitalism isn’t inherently sexist and racist.

Sure, except this is also happening in the U.K. In boys’ soccer. And then there’s the Catholic Church. It happens wherever children are taught that the adults in their lives have absolute authority, not because there are little girls there.

In what universe is $10,000 appropriate bail for driving on a suspended license? Your license can be suspended for any number of essentially administrative oversights, which, yes, are your fault but...$10,000? That’s outrageous.

“I don’t like you...Have a nice day.”

No one else according to what? You?
