Ditto. My feminist mother didn't teach me how to apply makeup. Which is why my look is stuck firmly in the mid-90's cat-eye black eyeliner, red lipstick world.

I try to be all "I don't judge," but nope, nope, nope, nope..

Coke'll do that to ya.

I have similar proportions (in a very big size) and found Butter Denim Jeans (from Avenue) to be really well-fitting. They also come in a capri style for even shorter legs.

We may not be more homophobic, but I feel like we're silent in the face of homophobia. A Lot. Like, A Lot A Lot. We let our ministers stand out there and publicly undercut the gay rights movement, and we're silent about how civil rights are human rights.

Wait, is that a Mac Plus?

I would suggest it's because pOrnaddict may be grooming someone in their own life, and he/she/it wants to cling to the idea that said seduction makes them blameless.

Children crave approval and affection from their parents, and to some degree, from most of the adults in their life. If you don't receive that, it makes you inordinately hungry to receive that in your adult life.

Except that there are objective facts that we can glean from the story that support the contention that he is a narcissistic asshole. Primary among those being that he had sex with his daughter. On multiple occasions. And paid for her to go to therapy afterwards.
