They did this here in Manchester too. It was covered surprisingly well in the Manchester Evening News: they spoke to workers at the club and representatives from their trade union, United Voices of the World. That really showed up Not Buying It, actually - they’re claiming these poor women are being exploited and need…

I mean who the fuck knows what’s going on here, but of all the attempts to unravel this when it first came up, the most plausible to me seemed to be that she wasn’t 8 when she was adopted, but nor was she an adult, and she was actually still a teenager when the original family abandoned her. So you know, maybe she is…

I really loved this review - haven’t had a chance to watch the show yet but will do with this in mind.

This is one of the things that makes this ruling weird: if Freddy had adopted a child, he would legally be that child’s father, but because he carried the child, he is named as mother. 

It’s true that campaign absolutely has worked: a few years ago, I wouldn’t have known who to report sexual harassment on the Tube to, and even if I did, I wouldn’t have thought it was worth it. Now I both know and would report it. People I know who have reported these things have also found that the British Transport…

It’s the perception that women are harmless and that men are always up for sexual attention. I’m glad that’s changing somewhat, but it’s still really prevalent, sadly.

That’s really horrible, I’m sorry you had to go through that.

I know someone who froze it into chunks and made smoothies with it.

I think that specific pink pom-pom/crystal headband thing is defo a rip off of the video. But the actual model doesn’t look that much like Ariana.

Absolutely agree on men and eating disorders. I’ve talked before about a tech-bro friend of mine who got really into keto, and it was obvious to me and another friend that the way he was doing it was basically binging and purging: he’d stick to this incredibly strict keto diet for a week and then “cheat” by eating…

Do you have Butlers in the Buff in the US? Or a similar concept? You know, hire a hot naked/nearly naked guy for a hen party (bachelorette party?) to serve your drinks and that sort of thing.

I once got into a... discussion with a guy on Reddit who used the non-existence of such a place as proof that women don’t really like sex.

Vaginal prolapse is actually not that uncommon, I really feel like more people should know this. I only know it’s a thing because it happened to my grandmother and before you ask, yes the conversation where I found that out was intensely awkward. Anyway, remember to do your kegels everyone (or have a lot of…

Yeah, when they have people who already know how to cook. he takes a different approach. I find it a bit weird that people call him basic for teaching someone who’s only ever heated up food in the microwave how to e.g. make a salad. He’s basic for other reasons, and that is the key to his charm.

While the film and the allegations may have nothing to do with each other directly, I’m sure the misogyny that caused his *alleged* behaviour informs what this film is like, given that gender, specifically the absence of women, is the key plot device here. Just stating that obvious point for the trolls.

The first time I ever ate a Krispy Kreme I was high as fuck and it remains one of the most fabulous sensual experiences of my life. No doughnut will ever taste as good as that Krispy Kreme did right then.

I actually really enjoyed it! I don’t love Tan’s fashion sense on the show anyway, so I’m never really watching him for the outfits. I think he matches the energy of who he’s with really well, and I think in general he’s much better outside of Queer Eye where there’s less pressure to be nice all the time - when I see…

It’s not that their ‘loud voices’ drown out trans men, it’s that cis people are much more fascinated by trans women for all sorts of misogynistic and transphobic reasons. The idea that someone would choose to live as a woman in a society that puts men and masculinity at the top of the scale is still incomprehensible…

I think that’s more to do with using a religious garment as a fashion item. My Catholic family are similarly displeased by people wearing rosaries as necklaces. 

I vacillate wildly between thinking the whole thing was faked for publicity and she was bearding for him, and that he was genuinely obsessed with her - I’ve known a fair few white British “intellectual” dudes who are incredibly horny for Taylor Swift. Either way, she definitely just took up with him to show off how…
