The problem is what happened on the internet. We’re going to assume the comments were shut down for a reason. The dad might have been lighthearted about it, even the girls, but have you ever looked at the comments section of a woman working outside of say makeup ro cooking? Female comics, female scientists, female…

The grid girls might enjoy it, but it alienates women audience members - makes it ok for men to think that women aren’t there because they actually enjoy the sport, but because men brought them there/are there so men can look at them. Puts out a clear message to women auto fans

Except when the internet comments started rolling in and both the dad and the girls realized that what they thought was just an innocent prank among themselves put the girls at the end of a butt of a joke as old as time itself. I don’t even want to know what kind of gross things might’ve shown up in the comment boards…

Except for the nasty and harassing comments on the internet and reinforcing every stereotype out there.

Come now, that’s not fair. Maybe for this shitwad, but my last play was produced 12 years ago and my last story published ten years ago. My last byline is hovering around circa 2012 as well. Doesn’t make me any less of a writer, unless you get off on calling people less successful than you losers.

53% of white women who were eligible to vote and WHO VOTED. Not 53% of all American white women. I’m not saying that’s much better, just try to be accurate.

Or were turned away, or had their votes scrubbed, not counted or worse. Or they were redrawn into voting districts where their votes didn’t count as much.

And 20 years of Republicans rewriting voter registration laws/voting districts so that in some counties Republican votes count as much as 3x Democratic ones. Don’t forget - the majority of Americans DID NOT CHOOSE THIS!!!!!

I really don’t think that online harassment is a good answer. It’s not justice you’re seeking at that point, but antagonizing the person.

And they’re UNLINED! That’s what gets me... You spend $80 on a dress that’s made out of cheap polyester, so thin you can see your silhouette on a sunny day, and it’s UNLINED, gahhhhh!

I am - kinda. I live as communally with my roommates as I can. It’s simply more efficient. We buy certain things in bulk and share as a family might. We’d all be spending about 20% and doing triplicate the amount of work if we tried to do “everything on our own.”

A thousand stars for this. With this presidency in place, I’m not sure how anyone can go around and say that pure capitalism is a good idea. I was listening to a lecture the other day that said the new masters of this system we created are systems and algorithms. I think that’s pretty accurate. In this instance, it’s…

That means you would be working there so often and under so much stress that one would be called a necessity.

And the quality is so, so bad. Sizing is inconsistent and seams and zippers can be misplaced or crooked. And on top of that, you’re thinking: “All this for an $80 garment and it’s UNLINED!?!?”

I’m from one of these kinds of places, and briefly - after college - worked for one of the local newspapers. At the time, WalMart was propositioning the town with yet another WalMart (there was already one on the Eastern Edge, this one was for the Southern). The shops on the main street had long since closed up, but…

All of Bushwick, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, LES (and for the richer ones) Greenwich Village are already at max college-student level. There are still foreign studnts coming in from abroad too, studying or interning for a month or two and then going home. Think of New York as a giant hotel. There’s no way you would pay…

Oh fuck... that shit is scary

I miss those diversity programs in high school when they used to force us to use words like gay, queer or homosexual.
