I was gonna say—I'm a 42DDD and I can hardly find regular bras to fit. Where do you get strapless?

Never said anyone was wrong in their preferences. However, if a person is shallow in their preference and alone, well, perhaps that person deserves to be alone. Many people don't like being valued for one superficial aspect, rather than as a whole person. I know I do not, especially since beauty fades. Also,…

If you refuse to look at more than one aspect of a woman (ie her physical attractiveness) rather than everything she is and has to offer, then perhaps you deserve to be alone. Most women of real substance can see through that kind of bullshit and women who are super-attractive are not necessarily stupid or shallow.

Me too. I was 12 or 13 as well at a store in the mall, and an adult man slid his hand up my thigh and squeezed, then made eye contact with me and gave me a seductive look. I hurried out of there as quickly as I could go, afraid that he was following me and might do something worse. And what was worse was I was in…

"Were" refers to "women," therefore it is appropriate. If the noun was "woman," the singular would be appropriate, but it's not.

*Four* men. Not that the ratio has much to do with it; he didn't fill pages about how men were evil, but let's not start making up numbers from thin air.

Props to you for educating yourself. It's not necessarily something all men are willing to do. However, I have to agree with many of my sisters on this thread because many men are willing to pass judgement on us, our bodies, and their normal processes (as well as what we should do with them) without actually…

No, "fucking idiot" covers it. "Edgy" was what it was going for and it managed to land pretty squarely on "fucking idiot."

I was actually thinking that too. I've known a number of Christian Burmese folks and they are very kind people, but I'd imagine they're thinking "What on earth is she doing?"

So you went to one event where you were the only white person (once) and were treated as an oddity and so you feel that cultural appropriation is okay?

I think the difference is that if you are within the culture/religion/etc, you may most certainly criticize it (what the Christians like to call "blasphemy") because you actually have some prayer of understanding what you're criticizing. But appropriation/scrutiny/criticizing of another religion, of which you are not…

I've been known to refer to the "period shits" as the "EVERYBODY OUT!" phase of my period. And I've been known to tell my body "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here."

Or emotionally wrecked. I can't watch it a second time. It was too painful the first time.

Is that what you got from this? Not that one might need to be willing to accept that perhaps they're imperfect and might have something to learn about themselves?

Exactly, but let's be real. If you belong to group X and group X generally does Y, you're probably guilty of at least some Y-like behavior. Being a white woman, I do my level best to never be racist, for example. But, if someone calls me out on racist behavior, if I'm honest, sometimes I'm guilty of it. It's then…

Was there ever any doubt that the Kardashians in general were self-centered?

Which makes perfect sense, because aborting a few cells is murder, but threatening an uppity female. . .is just Tuesday.

My mother, a speech therapist, used to work with people who'd had strokes. One sweet, elderly woman lost all of her language, save curse words. The mind is a fascinating thing.

Go on and try it; see how much fun it is.

I have a very close friend who came from Pakistan who is very introspective and highly self-aware(most of the time), and he says almost precisely this same thing. He has learned to view women as objects of respect and equal treatment, but that is because he has effectively required himself to do so. When new family…
