That's true. I know it doesn't make any sense, it's just the product of a confused and frightened parent's mind.

No, not what I meant at all. It's just what goes through my head whenever I see things like this. It doesn't make any sense, but it's how I feel.

It probably wouldn't- it's just my immediate reaction whenever I am reminded of how fucked up gender politics are.

It's not at all. It's a completely irrational, knee-jerk reaction, and I know it.

That's horrible, and I'm sorry that happened to you. :(

Not at all what I meant. I cringe at the thought of her having to navigate the world as a straight teenage girl who feels she needs the approval of hetero men.

Well, she might not want to hang out with guys like this then.

Videos like this make me pray that my daughter will identify as lesbian.

I have two kids, both of whom were born before facebook was invented. I understand that every parent is proud of their offspring and find every little thing about them fascinating, but I also understand that other people find this annoying. I also think it's completely insensitive to couples who are struggling to…

It's not necessary to lie. You only need to refrain from saying everything that comes into your head at any given moment.

I shouldn't care, but it still bugs me. It also disturbs me to think of what these women are teaching their sons and daughters, and that will effect all of us.

Exactly. I know a lot of women who really do find joy and fulfillment in more traditional roles, and I couldn't be happier for them. It just never worked for me. I can rock a victory roll and a pencil skirt, but I was a shitty housewife. I was bored and depressed. I felt trapped and it led me to resent my husband and…

You make an excellent point. I hadn't even thought of that.

I have a facebook friend who's way into the whole rockabilly thing (which is cool- I like to play dress-up myself from time to time, and love a good piece of vintage as much as the next quirky gal), so a lot of this kind of stuff shows up on my feed. My friend seems to have struck a good balance with the whole thing,…

I just looked it up on youtube, and you are right. She's amazing. I have to see that movie now.

Totally. And when they post it on the internetz, I get to make fun of it.

I think I love you.

I love interesting faces. I grew up in the American northwest, so there was a whole lot of blond-haired, blue-eyed people of Northern Indo-European extraction that looked just like me. I have always been drawn to dark eyes and skin, because it's just so different from what I'm used to (and sick of) looking at.

She should have played Helen in Troy instead of whatever forgettable actress they cast.
