And it regards to that quote, he only said that because his mother did.

It’s almost like they’re not mutually exclusive!

Much like The Rolling Stone piece, I continue to be frustrated by how a widespread problem can only be talked about on a case-by-case basis by the obtuse. People get so into picking apart the individual instances that they can’t see the forest for the trees. It’s exactly what’s happening with the undue use of police…

I have nearly nothing constructive to add other than that was a great article and the kind of thoughtful eloquent writing that I wish happened here more often (unlike, say, a creepy post about a 16 year old boy).

Yes! I sent this tip. As someone who knows Stacey Newman personally, I can attest that she is one of the most kick-ass women I have ever met. She is always fighting the good fight for women in Missouri, and is someone we can all be proud of. Plus, she’s super nice, smart, and funny.

I love all of this. When my sister was horrified after I mentioned plucking my chin hairs, I said, “NBD. Tina Fey talked about waxing her beard once.” Female comedians who normalize normal bodily experiences make it so much easier for me, the lay person, to love and accept my normal bodily experiences.
