They are fighting so hard against the idea that maybe there could be slightly more inclusion. They should think about why that is and deal with it.

I love these organizations but let’s be real — these organizations need to keep good relationships with folks like Tim Kaine. That’s why as much as I was annoyed with Bernie Sanders’ “establishment” line, he was right in the sense that they make political calculations. They have survived and thrived in their advocacy…

As a short pear-shaped woman, I can’t get with this. I know a lot of folks are making compelling arguments that maybe you don’t want to look proportional or cute all the time and say fuck you to the people watching your bod and sometimes you want something functional that doesn’t stick to you in the summer and I get…

I get that but I don’t think that goal ends up being achieved. I’ve heard from plenty of women of varying levels of conventional attractiveness say that they’re harassed more when they look like they’re not trying. People have come up with several theories as to why, that maybe because they don’t look like they want…

Um.

Aw, your daughter is going to make the world a better place.

My thoughts exactly. I’m a little sick of the expectation women get nude for protest while men sit stand around fully clothed. I don’t want to get a sunburned ass and titties either.

THIS SHOULD BE UP HIGHER

“All those boyfriends you think pretty girls have? I didn’t. Men fear beauty too. They want it, they fear it, they will try to humiliate it. That’s my experience. Deny it if you want. Doesn’t make it less real.”

Of course, not all attractive women have boyfriends all the time. But they will probably have a man around them who may be “protecting” them from other men to have that woman for themselves. Whether they actually protect them or rape them themselves is another question. Of course we sort of give beautiful women…

Yeah, white women should be called out as well, I agree. Two white women who are friends of friends posted these awful statuses this weekend and I am supposed to be bridesmaids with them. I’m trying to communicate with them but am getting nowhere.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I know what you mean though maybe not to that extent. I remember the first time I realized I wasn’t really the cool girl and that boys didn’t actually want to hear from me. I said I wanted to buy a feminist book and it produced this screaming and as you said, almost violent reaction,…

Judging from what I’ve seen on social media this weekend, I have very little faith they will see it. Or at least that enough white dudes will see it to make a difference. They’re getting angrier, more violent, etc. as they fear they’re losing power, even though it will be a while before they lose enough for the rest…

YES. This is selfish bullshit. And I know that when I’m looking forward to eating something that is mine and someone takes it from me, like pizza, I’m mad as hell because I don’t eat pizza often. Men eat whatever trash they want all the time and I want my own damn pizza and you take it from me? What the hell.
