She is talking so much about it because that’s what she gets out of this arrangement—she’s working for exposure. And she’s going to milk every aspect of it.

Why did they have their first date documented with an article and photo shoot?

This is all has such Tom Cruise shoppping for girlfriends vibes. Why is she talking so much about it? Why did they have their first date documented with an article and photo shoot? Oddly, I find none of it the least bit intriguing. It’s just so unhinged that I can’t help but look. Is that the design?

Oh you sweet summer child….

This is why I have two photos of myself on my Instagram page (which is really a stalking device as I’m the mom of a teen).

“Oh my god, you clearly only posted photos you looked good in.”

People can be assholes absolutely everywhere. They didn’t always say it to her face. 

No, they’re right. My partner who is 5'10" (and a full 5" taller than me) thinks of himself as a short man. His attitude about it drives me crazy because he’s not short. I am assuming 5'10" is maybe even on the taller side of average? But it’s like he’s so afraid of someone thinking of him as a “little guy” that he…

It’s funny, in relationships, it’s been ~my~ height that seems to be the main talking and source of concern/riddicule and he is often treated like he is somehow ‘brave’ enough to date a taller woman. Back in college, I had a whole lot of encounters where I would be hit on while out... riiiiight up to the point I stood…

I just read the title.

People, including Nicole Kidman, definitely commented on the height difference. 

Toxic masculinity can be perpetuated my women as well as men.

You must be lonely, up there in your own asshole.

I’m a 5'10" cis woman who just got out of a relationship with a 5'8" cis man and my friend did indeed say “well you’re really tall so I guess it’s your fault” tome.

Really? that’s the take you are going to go with?

Toxic masculinity is perpetuated by both sexes.

The author referred to the broader topic - heteronormativity - which is gender stereotyping which includes toxic masculinity.

It shouldn’t be a thing but I think this is being disingenuous.  It’s a thing because of toxic masculinity.  Dissecting such things use to be a mainstay of this website, maybe you could peruse the archives.

Babe, what? I mean, I bop to Britney’s music as much as the next millennial, but I don’t feel all that strongly about her as a musician one way or another.

I mean, I care about folks dehumanizing women by intentionally making them look a way society places inherent lesser value on. It’s playing into sexist bullshit tropes that a woman is less worth of care, compassion, and human dignity if she’s less attractive.
