...yes. Probably bc her size is relevant to how much damage a given amount of force can inflict; if rasafl was implying anything by that statement, it was "holy shit she could've died." But someone making an observation about her appearance does not equal "it would've been okay if she was bigger!"

Dude get on gaschamber9000 (by which I mean please dismiss him)

Sometimes, but every once in a while, you actually get through to someone. I've called a lot of people on a lot of shit (yeah, I'm that person), and mostly it's in vain, but I've also had people kind of go "oh, wait, is that actually a thing that hurts people?"

Fair point.

I don't know, but not necessarily, and mania is not necessarily "joyful." It can be darker and more terrifying than depression.

I dunno, I give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they are saying "this particular person affected my life in such a way that I really feel this death." I can't feel sad every time any person dies, otherwise I'd never leave bed. I take a long enough time to recover from the deaths of my own loved ones that,…

Beer, chocolate, and Aladdin over here.

I was looking for a good "I don't care about your boner" gif and couldn't find one, sadly. (Also, the dude wasn't ugly, but I sure as fuck don't wanna look at him now)

Yeah, kicking a woman out for breastfeeding is bullshit, but you can't change a baby's diaper on a table. Restaurants ABSOLUTELY should have changing tables (accessible to both men and women), but poopy diaper + people eating is not a good combo.

I just got sent my first unsolicited dick pic. I guess I'm all grown up now.

I love how often women say "I don't think x is funny" or "y behavior makes me really uncomfortable" and men say "no, you're wrong!" Not like, "well *I* think x is funny" or "well y doesn't make *me* uncomfortable and I don't care about your comfort." Just, "no, you don't actually have the opinion you think you have!…

Yeah, having an income and being able to pay rent, buy food, travel, etc, really means nothing to me. But when my boss says "good job," I just orgasm all over the place.

I'm in the same place you are, but I'm sure that it does place a burden on lots of women here. And as someone else pointed out, there are places where women have NO access to sanity supplies, which really fucks them over. The reactions to her tweet were *absurd.*

I mostly agree, but the one thing I do hate about some of the curvy feel-good rhetoric is the way the phrase "real women" is used. Have all of the songs about being awesome! Get some time in the limelight! But I'm no less "real" than anyone else, and that rhetoric really does get to me.

Yup! I am both young-looking and naturally tend toward being smiley; I feel like I have to act like a bitch sometimes just to get anyone to listen to me.

People are the worst.

I recently got carded trying to buy tickets to a rated-R movie...*I* don't think I look that young, but it seems some people do.

It wasn't a fashion magazine, it was culture/politics, so maybe that's why? But I imagine that there are a lot of similarities in print media generally.

Is there a feel good song for the petite women of the world who often get mistaken for children and really hate when people tell them that that's a "compliment"?

Yeah, I had a nurse at one point tell me to take 4-5 every 6-8 hours, that it was basically the same as prescription NSAID.
