I just got my hair chopped into a bob, and I felt the need to mention it to the guys who sent me online dating messages before I put up new pics, and two guys actually changed their minds and were like, oh sorry I prefer women with long hair. They hadn't even seen if the bob looked good (which, for the record,

preach! framed face, hair with shape and personality..I am all about it. I think men equate short hair with 2 stereotypes - matronly and butch.

She'd look so good if she chopped the back into an actual pixie.

You never talk about your ex's. They ask something, tell them you don't remember and that shit didn't mean enough to want to remember. Then, change the subject back to your current SO, as she is trying to set a trap for you. It's a test. It's always a test. And failure is about 90% guaranteed.

I'm terrified of being mistaken for "that guy" so the ironclad rule is:

in a relationship it's hard to weed out what is due to sexism and what is due to the never-ending-back-and-forth-undermining-battle-royale-for-supremacy that is love

This idea of the "package" is very intriguing to me and it's a good description of what I've attempted to describe to people previously about why I don't want children...

I feel like it's not really fair because he asked people to view the print; they were trying to be polite and make conversation. If he had just stuck it on the wall or in the corner and approached people who voluntarily spent time in front of it, it would actually be saying something.

While I might think it's funny to trick people into thinking a $5 bottle of wine is actually $500, something about this experiment just feels douchey to me. I mean, someone did originally make that piece of art. Just because it's from IKEA and a print doesn't make it not real art. Maybe it just makes it a successful

As much as I am sure it is true, I hate being told "it will all work out," and "there's never a perfect time!"

I loved Stories We Tell and highly recommend it.

at first I was like "OH HELL NO" but then I saw she's a part of it and now I am like "GIVE IT TO ME"

This does seem super duper unnecessary, but ... Sarah Polley? Not a bad call.

Um, I don't know Colin, let me tell you a story about a stubborn young girl who hated sports and didn't like learning about things that she hated

Nope. Penis is automatic god mode, if boys are hurt they need to rub some dirt on it because despite believing in equality as a feminist I also want to date a REAL MAN and not some faggy ass fairy because I'm actually completely and utterly full of shit about equal rights and only truly give a shit about the things

Can we seriously talk about the fact that it's not like teen boys have no issues of their own? I'm raising one and he feels every bit as self conscious and scared and weird as I did as a teen girl. The difference is he isn't allowed by society to show it or he will be called gay and a pussy only further demeaning him.

You know, growing up with magazines and shit, reading about and listening to men talking about the diverse things they like in a woman, never made me feel any better. If That Guy I wanted to like me didn't, I just felt like there were SO MANY categories I couldn't fit into, instead of just the one.

I'm going to approach this from the other direction and say that in addition to everything else that's been said, it would ALSO be putting an unreasonable expectation on teenage boys to be responsible for managing the feelings of teenage girls, in addition to their own. Like, what the fuck?

my first reaction to this was that this sounds terrible. What boy is going to take this seriously and admit that he doesn't require huge boobs on a skinny bod in a potential girlfriend?

I actually found falling in love to be the best feeling in the entire world.
