True that. Had a particularly gut-wrenching argument with my teenage son (for him, not so much for me) as to WHY a Kanye white t-shirt was not so greatly superior to a good quality Hanes as to justify a $200 price tag. If an item is unique, beautifully made, uses really distinctive material ... sure, I'll pay more for

Not all higher priced items are better quality, that's absolutely true. What we really need is for fashion publications to educate people on what makes something better quality and what to look for. Sometimes it's worth the splurge, sometimes you just paid for the tag.

I believe it's a young Stewart Lee, another brit comedian.

Man, I would freaking LOVE to be able to spend a little more money on pieces that are higher quality and buy fewer of those pieces. But the problem is that cost =/= quality. It's extremely frustrating to order a $25 t-shirt from Everlane and see that it's just as sheer as the $10 one from Target.

Fast fashion is way too expensive for the crummy quality, IMO. Find a thrift store in an affluent community. Your closet will be loaded with things from Banana Republic, BCBG, United Colors of Benneton, J Jill and the like, and it will cost 1/3 the price of some fast fashion, and last 3x as long.

"What is up with an industry that is supposedly so welcoming to disenfranchised men yet can't seem to offer the same sanctuary for women?" — YES!

XVALA told us, "I hope we don't need an attorney."

fuck this, can we crowdfund some kind of injunction?

Huh? How is the legal? Is it? When will this shit stop? I am just confused as to how people keep finding ways to profit and put these women through more bullshit.

Is their alleged "transformative"ness that they are now asshole detectors in that anyone who attends this exhibition can be rightly judged as one?

Because "lonely geek wank-room" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Phew. Thank goodness you found something to be offended by. That was a close one.

What makes the "gender gag" any more insulting than the notion that Kim K can read a book? Or that Aslan is less macho tough guy than we thought? They're all insults, they're jokes. Why are gender jokes not cool?

Exactly! I'm not saying calling a sketchy room the "rape room" is a totally awesome and hilarious thing to do, but the real issue is how they reacted when she asked them to stop. Another major issue is the implicit misogyny when a bunch of men fire a woman because they think she's overreacting to a rape joke.

I know what you mean, but I think one of the big reasons people keep at it is because Bieber himself wants so badly to be thought of as a bad ass. Which he seriously is not.

Oh, man, don't you love it when you can shoot the shit and joke with your coworkers? I used to have a group of coworkers who sat around with me all day making jokes about genitalia and sex and vibrators that play Christmas music. Those were the days! Now most of my coworkers are religious and I have to watch what I

Worst name for a room ever.

"she wouldn't work" = she can't take a rape joke.
