The article was dismissive to women who have felt real hurt in their life. And to toss aside criticism with the #notallwhitewomen tag is lazy and is being used to brush off/mock valid criticism of how to the point is being made.

“White women don’t have the history, or the baggage of growing up with visible body hair, so their announcement of it, or political positionality of it, seems insincere.”

Huh. I ( a white woman of WASP/German extraction, since getting all the way down to the 23andMe of it all seems to be relevant) seem to have…

As a woman with pcos who just happens to be white, fuck you. You do not have some moral authority on struggling with body hair or being tortured for it/by it. 

I’m sorry, what? Like, yes, white women not shaving their pits in January is not the most courageous thing in the world. Of course, women who are not white/cis/straight/able-bodied/educated/wealthy have it easier than those who are not.

I honestly don’t get this article. If the point was to talk about POC experiencing a unique kind of body shaming because of body hair then yeah sure, write that article, but her point seems to be that white women do not have much body hair at all and so therefore can never understand the body shaming of POC with body…

There are valid points in this piece but this idea that all white women have the same amount of body hair or are not shamed for it or have no social repercussions for it is just plain not true. Maybe it would have been a better idea to write about cultural differences and experiences with body hair instead of making…

A Hole Vera

You mean the hole in her chest where her heart should be?

You convinced me to browse their website because I had never heard of it before. The dress code for men made me laugh.

I’ve disliked her music and her sexy-baby persona since she started out, but, fuck. Yeah. This past year has made me like her. And I really really REALLY hope that this has been all her own doing, not just her PR machine or someone else saying “oh you ended your engagement here’s a song to release now”. And yeah, I…

Goddamn, she’s winning me over.  Not that I was against her.  I was just indifferent.  Watching her made me tear up, ew.

Came here to say that.  The insinuation that a black woman can’t be racist and/or xenophobic and/or out of touch is incredibly bizarre.  

The writer, Mariah Smith, is black, but the Cut’s editors, and their perspective, are mostly white.

Pizza rat, because I know how to be timely and hip.

This year I was a proud dad for Halloween.

The Land Shark is considered the cleverest of all sharks. Unlike the Great White shark, which tends to inhabit the waters and harbors of recreational beach areas, the Land Shark may strike at any place, any time. It is capable of disguising its voice, and generally preys on young, single women.

My 30s were filled with crying at the thought of my dog getting sick, crying when I saw car commercials featuring dads/daughters, crying because I loved my friends so much.

YEP. I am 27 and I too have hit the cry-at-everything milestone. I tear up because my dog is JUST SO SWEET AND PURE. I tear up because my fiancé is doddering around the bedroom in his underwear and I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I cried FOR A WEEK whenever I thought of my best friend’s pregnancy. I wonder if this ends or if…

Wait. Bagans said “God must hate me...” because Post SURVIVED a plane and car crash?
