Read “Brightsided” by Barbara Ehrenreich, if you haven’t already. It’s all about how “positive thinking culture” is bullshit

Here’s what I want to know: How come misogynist trolls like
Dr Emilio Lizardo are approved, but I (who have been coming here for years and am mostly respectful and hopefully insightful) am still in the greys? How do I get permanently ungreyed?
Just one more reason to that Bieber can fuck off into the sun.
This is a hallmark of crappy “controversial art”: Do something provocative with no context or point-of-view and then get mad when people take it however they want to. It’s completely unclear through the photo how the photographer or the couple views Gilead. Are they celebrating it? Denouncing it? Who knows?
If you…
This picture is completely unclear as to whether the couple is celebrating Gilead or criticizing it. When you have to explain through an email what your “controversial” art is trying to say, your art is crap.
Claws is over the top and completely ridiculous and I love it beyond measure.
Any employer who had knowledge of over 20 complaints against an employee, with over 3 dozen corroborating witnesses, who didn’t at least attempt to determine the veracity of the complaints, would be pilloried in court. I hope they are.
Shame on the Metropolitan Opera for their weak excuses for not conducting even the…
If you read the article he didn’t call her sweetheart as in, “Sweetheart, don’t ask me those kind of questions.” He described her as a “real sweetheart”. He didn’t call her “sweetheart”, he described her as “a sweetheart”. It’s still condescending and icky, as he wouldn’t call Brit Hume “a real sweetheart”. But this…
Your butt was not imperfect because it was shaped differently.
My ED therapist put clothing fit issues this way: Which is easier to change — Your body, or a garment made in China for $0.50 in 3 seconds?
It’s the clothes, not you.
Fuck George Tyndall and fuck USC for allowing this to continue for so long.
Maybe I’m old-fashioned but I think if you’re old enough to have children in college, no one gets to complain to your mommy about your behavior anymore.
ETA: Also, if I get any more radical as I get older, I will be firebombing something soon. Perfect cover: Harmless, middle-aged white lady. “Why no, pig, officer, I…
Your school had Anita Blake? Some of that series is damn near pornographic.
It’s a good question. But I think the point was the minimization of the side effects of hormonal birth control targeted at those with uteruses. (i.e. women have been dealing with side effects for years with barely a “meh” from the medical community).
I’d like to ask a similar question about almost every other drug on…
Dude, I had a LOT of awakenings during that scene. The way he moves in on her? I played that over about 10 times last time I saw it.
And the dancer who plays Fran’s dad? So effing hot. All I want to do is let that man lead me to ends of the earth. I had to look him up: Antonio Vargas. Such beautiful movement.
Here’s the distinction: She’s being treated differently than any other customer solely based on her disability. The only reason she is at the window trying to place an order in the first place is because of her disability. A reasonable accommodation to allow her to place her order as any hearing customer would is to…
Know what’s a “reasonable accommodation”?
Taking an order from a deaf person by reading what they typed out on their phone.
Two paragraphs and you choose to focus on one sentence.
Disingenuous.
All of this. And start at the bottom. Or go into another field entirely. Sell real estate. Drive Uber. Manage a grocery store. They are not entitled to wealth and power which would allow them access to victimize other women. I’m not saying they’re not entitled to work, but they aren’t allowed to go back to their lives…
who feel victimized by attractive women who refuse to have sex with them. (Incels have nicknamed these desirable but withholding women “Stacys.”)
