Hey, friends! Join me in the Not Wrestling Over the Gendered Language section. Alexis was fantastic and great and was loved by many. Instead of being self-appointed pronoun monitors, let’s love on Alexis’ memory and realize some people will have it right and some people will have it wrong. AIDS sucks, brain tumors

As a fat person, I would really like to see decent basics. A fucking white button down that doesn’t immediately pop open at my boobs. Jeans that aren’t jeggins- or “mom jeans”. Tee shirts and cardigans that aren’t priced 3 times as much as the skinny version (ahem-Old Navy) Just plain, well tailored clothes. Jesus, is

Get fucked. Women spend their entire lives walking around being (at best) vaguely concerned with what might befall them against their will on behalf of men who are “just having a good time”. Go eat a bag of smashed assholes if you don't think that counts as assault.

I hate that photo. So much.

I kind of read the exact opposite from this statement. It feels like Alexis’s brother was being very careful in his use of language and was very respectful of Alexis’s preferences/wishes.

This is it, the perfect example of mansplaining.

I am having secondhand rage for you.

Meanwhile, I told my therapist what mansplaining was this week and he (an older white dude) thought it was perfect and couldn’t believe he hadn’t heard what it was yet!

I feel like this is just one big humblebrag: this piece isn’t your enemy, it’s your friend! You can do this, and this, and this! (if you’re super thin, or have enough $ to have rearranged your fat into the most desirable places).

Except it does not make your legs look longer. It makes your hips look bigger and your legs look like they were attached to your body incorrectly.

Goddammit.

Giraffes are playing no games. Next time he’ll catch em.

I think that this cut is more effective at exaggerating the size of the hips than lengthening the leg, really, which is probably part of why the Kardashians are so into it.

too many razors. boy shorts 4eva!

he spent a third of his time with Clinton on questions about her private email server

I seeeeriuosly rolled my eyes outta my fucking skull to hear that this purported lefty site— who’s been soaking wet for Sanders all year— doesn’t know about Ben & Jerry’s decades of activism!

ATTENTION WHITE SISTREN: BLACK MEN DO NOT OWE YOU THEIR ATTENTIONS, SEXUAL OR OTHERWISE. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THEIR BODILY AUTONOMY, ESPECIALLY GIVEN HISTORICAL DENIAL OF SAID BY YOUR FUCKING PEOPLE.

Lest we remind you that it was JEZEBEL that couldn’t get enough of Dunham when her show first premiered. I and many others kept commenting that she was over-rated as fuck and no one at Jezebel would listen.

White people terrorized black people to the extent that bears, snakes, swamps were nothing compared to the terror of white hate
