What drives me crazy about this (among many other things) is that it assumes that they need a law to keep women from having abortions after 20 weeks or women will just get late term abortions on a whim. As if any woman WANTS to have an abortion that far along. Having a late term abortion is a very hard, sad choice and…

A baby I had been expecting for 10 months came out of me and I was pretty traumatized. I can’t imagine a surprise baby.

Maybe I’m weird, but wouldn’t it be rad if she didn’t even bother with the straps and boobs weren’t such a big deal? Boobs weren’t always extremely sexualized like they are now.

I’d like them to name one teen boy who was offended by these “slutty” dresses.

This young lady was suspended for wearing a halter dress to school because it was distracting to her male peers. She publicly went on record saying that maybe the boys should stay home from school so they can practise some self control. Love her. She is getting a butt TON of coverage. Fighting the good fight!

Um, maybe we could worry about kids not driving drunk and having unprotected sex? Are backless dresses really at the top of the priority list?

I kind of love that dress in all it’s tacky glory. But yeah, not appropriate for a high school prom.
But cut outs (and definitely backless) can be totally tasteful, and this policing women’s body thing is pretty tired.

Yes! Had the same experience when I went to St Martin for my 30th birthday this year. Like, WTF am I ruining my own vacation worrying about what total strangers think of my body (and my hair, holy shit my hair)??

I go to Korean spas quite a bit now ever since I discovered them a few years back. It’s wonderful to see every different shape and size relaxing and not giving a hoot. I think because only perfect bodies are shown in the media, people have a really skewed vision of what the average body looks like. I know I did.

This was what going to the pool in Vienna did for me. It was super hot, and tons of people were at the beach. I was so used to feeling like I was too fat to participate, but I was dying and Austrians don’t believe in AC, so I made an exception. It was a revelation. Young people, old people, fat and thin, everyone was…

I was in Hawaii a few years back. I was a size 6 at the time. Feeling all sad I wasn’t a four. Hiding under a beach mumu.I was people watching and I really started to pay attention to the bodies around me.literally NO ONE looked “perfect”. Even the tall thin ones had butt dimples or stretch marks. People of all shapes…

Fat AND happy here. I’m just a few years and a few pounds more than you. I love fashion and have clothing, shoes, and accessories that I love and tend to err to the side of “dressy” in most situations. I love to wear makeup and try out new hairstyles. I am also pretty outgoing and a performer. My skinny to average…

Sex shop worker here. I love lube so much and I’m so glad you’re spreading the gospel!!

I grind them up and inject them like any *respectable* person.

Sure you are...

Kate the Great! She’s the best!

But, she didn’t say that. She actually alludes to what slavery was in her first tweet. Her word choice was unfortunate (“invented it as such” should read “transformed it as such”), but not completely incorrect. Chattel Slavery of the Americas is a truly White/European invention. Slavery is as old as tribalism. If you…

Slavery in America is totally because of White people. Slavery in Europe is because of white people.

White people are so fragile. We have the upper hand in basically every social structure in the U.S. How about we let people call it out without risk of being fired from their jobs?

I’m all for increased opportunitites for women to direct, but I’d be happy if none of them went to smarmy propagandist Kathryn Bigelow.
