Not in a snotty way, but — how old are you? Because I remember the entirety of the 80s and 90s being taken up with hand-wringing about why The Young People weren't embracing the label of feminism. Heck, when Lilith Fair was happening, Sarah McLachlan was all over the place explaining that this wasn't a *feminist*…

This is going to sound really mean but, I'm all out of fucks to give this year.

To all of the people who were putting Emma Watson down yesterday for not bringing anything new to the table regarding feminism or for just giving basic "Feminism 101" in her speech -

Because misogynists and women with internalized misogyny say Feminism = Hater. They repeat it over and over so it sticks.

What feminism is doing wrong is promoting sexual equality in a world that hates women. Going against the grain is never popular, sometimes even among those it's meant to uplift. Particularly with feminism since most straight women don't want to be shunned by those with whom they'd like romantic relationships.

Anyone else here not like her song? The chorus is catchy but the rest of it is a faux positive self-esteem anthem that encourages women above a size 2 to love themselves because some men like it. Yes, lets base our self esteem on whether men approve of us or not.

PUPPET GIRL WAS ROBBED

WELL DUH. I still have body "memories" from stuff that happen 25 years ago, down to feeling disconnected and disassociated at certain times of day when they happened. Any distraction helps: food, shopping, sex. Anything to get out of my head and away from it.

My husband has PTSD, and because he developed it because of physical and psychological abuse in his home of origin plus a violent home invasion — not through military service — he already feels like his PTSD is somehow illegitimate. So I find your attitude to be unhelpful at best, and reinforcing the prejudice that…

you're an ass. I was abused by two mentally ill parents from the age of 8 when my mother had a total breakdown, but didn't stop reproducing and I was forced to raise my siblings and protect them from my mother's rages.

I swore like a logger during labor. My ob/gyn was most impressed.

I'm from Texas. I know plenty of women who drive pick up trucks and large US domestics, but it's less about them being women and more about being "country girls." It's a subculture. It's not women as a whole that is a demographic. And that's my issue. Even in Japan, most of the people I know are pretty anti-car. Few wa…

You're missing the point.

Some of us do want to read this, because guess what?

You can have a pink car. That's different from having a car that is specially designed as being "for women" for absolutely no reason.

...Not gonna lie, the cut-out for a pony tail is sorta genius...

"Celebrities that other girls will sometimes emulate and people (like maybe some Honda marketing people) get ideas from..."

No, I totally agree! Women need special cars in a special pink, because that's just what naturally appeals to us! It is the OPPOSITE of sexist to assume that women need a car specially designed for us. We don't need options — we need a car designed for us based on what your daughter goes for in the toy store. :)

Yeah, the root cause of this is clearly celebrities who like pink. It's totally not symptomatic of sexism in the car industry and Japan. Tooootally rooted in those bitches having pink cars.

You know this could have been much worse, like that Volvo concept from years back that was designed for women, where you couldn't even open the hood yourself, you had to take it to a mechanic for everything, even something as simple as swapping head light bulb, checking the oil or changing the air filter. Because…
