It's not only Utah.

I'm pretty sure they were people working for slave wages who were too afraid not to follow the rules (and those were the rules) or they would have lost their jobs. Really great idea to cause more punishment instead of starting a much needed conversation about the whole thing.

To all those right wing 'people' who get off talking about George Orwell...we've been living in 1984 for a long time and it's you that are responsible.

Why the fuck is she pinning that Nazi Propaganda piece without including any critical commentary.

Yes, another reason why I am weaning myself slowly off of Jez. Even though they clearly say that their main focus is celebrity gossip I believed the hype and thought they were a feminist forum. In my mind an interest in feminism is kinda linked to a political interest not celebrity gossip. How wrong I was.

I'm constantly annoyed how everything on Jez is through an American view point (it has a readership from all over the world)

Same thing. I go to a class and have an hour walk home. After the class I want to shower badly but after I've gone home that desire is gone.

Thanks.

I remember a political activist whom I greatly admire talking about how she realized that she needed to do her political work outside of party politics and she defined it as the moment she saw how people changed when they became accustomed to always have their doors held, things carried and car doors opened for them.

A friend of mine went to Russia lately and came back saying "They don't have a problem with feminism in Russia because there is none."

Yeah, I read the first few sentences and holy fuck classist hipster bullshit.

What I don't understand: what is wrong with that?

The same people who think Justin Bieber is god's gift to the world??

Ok, I missed the meme.

She also talked about that in interviews when she did the CoverGirl thing and had a couple of magazine covers quite openly if I remember right. Saying that she was never really considered for that kind of publicity because the industry deemed that she didn't fit their beauty standards. How hurtful that was for her but…

No, I think you are on to something here...

I had a conversation with a woman who is incredibly judgy and it is more of slut shaming than a valid critique of objectification (this woman is definitely not feminist in the slightest) and she would say things like "Beyonce is a stripper with a good voice" etc. and so I expected her to like Pink in the same way that…

But is she that underrated?

Yes, I think that's it. The way women are objectified and judges on their looks we are not supposed to age especially when someone has been a sex symbol before. Age 'devalues' women, nobody gives a shit about the aging male rock stars. Nobody cares how Elton John ages.

It's always the fucking same. Our society supplies sadists with victims through the economical structure of society (ever wondered why the majority of victims of serial killers are poor people, human trafficking victims, homeless people etc) and then we glorify the sadists and forget the victims as we did while they…
