Seriously. I’m a little floored a respected literary institution can be that damn asinine.

BTW, rabid isn’t always negative

I just laughed so hard, I wheezed.

I’d agree with this - a dictionary isn’t just descriptive, it’s instructive. It’s where you go to find out what words mean and how you ought to use them.

All those examples are perfectly normal usage of the words. But in taken together, they indicate that Oxford is not concerned in any way with presenting language in a way that isn’t sexist and containing negative stereotypes toward half its users. There’s no such thing as perfect neutrality, but/and the choices they…

Also, those words are not solely or even most commonly defined that way. A telephone is shrill. An alarm clock. Intentionally choosing gendered shit to express a non-gendered adjective is irresponsible. Let people learn their bias from their shitty parents, as is tradition.

It’s the dictionary’s job to literally define words. If you don’t know what rabid means and you go to look it up, you will now and forever associate it with feminist. Like if your daughter asks you, “what’s a prick, mummy?” and you say, “well, your father is one”. While that may or may not be accurate, teaching…

amirite

“Flippant?” I’m sure there are more apt descriptions of those tweets, but I think I’ll be sourcing them from Merriam-Webster, assholes.

“shrill” – defined as “the rising shrill of women’s voices”– and “psyche” – for which the example sentence is, “I will never really fathom the female psyche”. “Grating”, defined as “sounding harsh and unpleasant”, was illustrated with the phrase “her high, grating voice”, while the adjective “nagging” used the…

Hey, it’s the kid who plays Peter Pan in that insurance commercial!

2 & 3 look amazing to me, you have beautiful eyebrows.

I have one unruly eyebrow and the other is tame. that’s the new, new thing. maybe.

I have major eyebrow envy of your third photo. You have really pretty eyes!

I like the look in number 1 the best! The natural arch looks more dramatic to be than the rounded one in pic 2.
Also you have lovely eyes!

I waxed my eyebrows very occasionally for like five years and they've never recovered. It's my biggest superficial regret. I love her brows here.

I too had very sparse brows after years & years of plucking & waxing. Plus I lived through the late 90's/early 2000's when “thin was in” when it came to eyebrows.

I like number 3.

You have beautiful eyes! I would say #3 is closest, but still too “done”for this look. However, much like many of the trends they don’t translate well to most people. For example, Annie from xovain (now at in the gloss i think?) had a total purposeful unibrow and it made her look like a ferral Elizabeth Hurley, super…

I would kill for any of them, but I like #2 the best on you. Gorgeous!
