Amen sister. Most of mainstream porn is hugely problematic. There's feminist-friendly stuff, which is great, but I've found tends to fall into either camp cheesy over the top romance or camp edgy bdsm and if you don't fancy either camp, you might be sol.

Right. Like Swift plays (or played) directly into the image of the virginal southern white woman and it worked for her, especially since she was much younger than any of the rest when she debuted. Like 15 I think. Not only did it kind of gel with patriarchal assumptions about womanhood, it also seemed age appropriate.…

Actually, just like Beyonce's album, this is produced almost entirely by men. But...go women! Strong! Boss! Independent!

Yeah, I want to love her but her odes to drug dealers who can "buy me Balmain", general air of self-conscious shit-stirring (pseudo-Nazi imagery, really?) , and total reliance on sexuality (you've seen her calendar, right?) make me less than impressed. She's no diva in my books. Boss, sure. Disposable, totally.

it would be nice to have a female rapper in the limelight who isn't all about her sexuality and isn't offering her ass on a platter for male desire. Nicki presents herself and her dancers and sexual objects. She is the furthest thing from a feminist. Ugh.

But as a feminist I can sure have an opinion about what I think is objectification? The difference about male and female nudity is that men do not present themselves as objects. Again: I am not saying there is in my opinion anything wrong with skin, sex or nudity. But just hold on and compare the poses and body…

I feel you..I also think that it's a complex topic, and I also often don't have a clear cut opinion and I am also glad for other opinions. For the money thing, it's true, but it seems to me it's still through the use of the same old stereotypes. It seems to me also that the more progress we have had regarding gender…

I see. So it's not that she herself is putting her ass into the focus. I'm pretty sure I do say the same things about white women, so I don't think you know enough about me and my views to judge.

I don't feel wearing make-up or dressing is disempowering - but I do feel that the reduction of desirability of a person mostly to the body, and the presentation of the body as an object, and not as part of an attractive person - as presented mostly by males in pictures - is disempowering. I don't make any difference…

Doesn't make me feel uncomfortable at all. I am very very sexual myself, and have never found anything wrong with it. Also I believe we would not have all these discussions about pick up artists if our society would not have these double standards where men can praise themselves for "picking up" women since supposedly…

There is a lot of talk why gender equality has stalled. In my opinion, one reason is that while legally in many countries women and men have equal rights, there are more subtle things to tackle now - as general gender roles, stereotyping and bias. And I really believe one of the reasons that we are not progressing…

yes, I got that. I still think it's fucked up.

What? You only fart flowers and unicorns? Or are do you hold all your gas in and when you get home you release it and fly around the room?

I would truly hope you wouldn't walk up to someone who has an odor that you don't know intimately and inform them. It's not your business and it's very possible that they are well aware that they are smelly. Yes, there are medications for SOME things, but other times this can be a huge indication of a much larger…

Wow. This obviously means a lot to you if you're willing to shit in someone's purse over it. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of purposeful public farting either, but in the end it's really no big deal. It's just some harmless intestinal gas, and has no health implications for bystanders whatsoever.

I think we need to focus less on the fart and more on the idiot who isn't getting a flu shot.

you obviously haven't read the book. Neither of those phrases is in there. I heard that before I read the book and assumed they were real quotes because they were in an article, but they aren't. It's ridiculous to have an opinion and spread hysteria and false accusations about something you haven't read and are…

this. i was talking about this on yesterday's post about lena. that she was definitely raped, and while the thing with her sister seems really creepy when picked out and placed in an article, if you read from the beginning of the chapter, it's completely understandable. the vile things people say to make up for their…

I will be the first to defend her book. It was awesome and honest on a level that I don't think you see very often. I'm sure her rape wasn't easy to write about.

Nicole Kidman always seems delightful. Once she left creepy Cruiseland, that is.
