I'm gagging uncontrollably right now thinking about it.

This stuff is rarely purposeful. I bet the guys didn't even think of it. As someone else said, there's "health" and "women's health".

What's with the eyes on the Asian dogs?

Not just white, I genuinely think we all hold unexamined racist beliefs by the simple fact that we live in a racist society. It's important to realize it and try to get better instead of flipping the fuck out every time someone calls you a racist.

Someone (white) once told me that the most offensive thing you could call a white person is "racist" and that their feelings were really hurt when someone said that to them.

It just shows the pageant's double standards — illegally participating in hazing is completely fine, but shooting legal nude photos or getting pregnant is not. It contradicts their ludicrous claim that Miss America is about role models and scholarships for women. It's not. It's about judging sexually available and…

I know, christ. Just because someone looks a certain way, doesn't mean they're ready for sex.

This book really opened my eyes to the fact that our societies don't exist in a vacuum and are influenced by external forces often beyond our control.

I learned my name for bodyparts from Linda Belcher's educational chants:

But while he's a good scientist (probably a better researcher than I am), he never engages me in deep conversation—he doesn't discuss interesting topics in current events, literature, history, or philosophy. Is it just my elitism that makes me expect this?

Great point. I feel like there's a high amount of bewildered boyfriends with "crazy exes" or who don't get treated all that great, and I just want to say "maybe if you dated for personality instead of looks, you'd end up with someone who actually makes you happy".

Feels like it's the same everywhere though, not just the east coast. Guys don't care at all that I worked my ass off to get into this industry or that I make good money, they just want me to look good. In fact, some guys don't like that I make more money than they do. Similarly, my male friends don't care about the…

Getting older and seeing my attractiveness decrease (even though I'm making more money) while guys my age still dating women in their mid-early 20s is pretty depressing. That article you mentioned definitely did not help.

Yeah. I have a shitty memory so I am really careful about writing stuff down and entering it into my calendar.

YES, my sister does this too. Drives me nuts.

It's a local band. Nevermind!

Yeah! I went and looked at Milo's other stuff and I thought it was really hot and then I had a little alone time with them, but I don't need to see that stuff in a superhero context.

Nicely said. It's fine to have characters look sexy (in those bodysuits, it's hard to avoid it), but the line is crossed when the emphasis is on them in softcore cheesecake poses.

ALSO — "tacocat"?! You must be from Seattle.

I'm so used to hearing guys talk shit about women's sports that I was really pleasantly surprised to see how many of the male soccer fans I know follow the US womens soccer team. And yes, one of the reasons I hear cited is that we are more likely to win (and play a better game, comparatively).
