skintight, black, boot-cut pants with a zipper in the back.

Oh, dear. Same era here, and yes, I literally tied a scarf around my upper body as a shirt one night. Thanks for resurfacing that memory...

As someone who was in college in ‘00, I am pretty sure that “going out tops” were not paired with jeans, but rather with skintight, black, boot-cut pants with a zipper in the back. (At least they were in my neck of the woods.) I guess denim made a resurgence a few years later, but please let’s not bring that look

Lol “jeans and a nice top” has been my going-out go-to for decades now and YOU WILL NOT TAKE THAT FROM ME!!!!

Fuck the boy scouts.

As a Boy Scout, from a family of Eagle Scouts: fuck the Boy Scouts.

No shit they are beefing.

And that lovely shade of red lipstick she’s wearing ...

She can say that AFTER women and girls stop being judged, ranked, and treated primarily on how well they conform to society’s standard of beauty. This shit doesn’t happen ina vacuum, and I’m tired of people lecturing women as if it’s all in our heads.

I’ll have you know I waste time in myriad ways-putting crap on my face is just one of them, and it’s nowhere close to being the most frivolous.

Counterpoint: putting on makeup makes me feel magical and beautiful and the process is soothing. Especially since I suffer from depression, and sometimes putting on a bold brow or power lip is the difference between me sitting at home crying versus going out and facing the world. Sorry zadie. Love your work, but don’t

I guess Zadie feels that white teeth should be sufficient.

She’s saying that he was so emotionally abusive that she has PTSD. Emotionally abusing one woman in order to facilitate having sex with other women who you employ and have significant power over... that’s not some one who actually believes in feminism.

That’s messed up. It seems like Joss isn’t just cheating and gaslighting, but he is using his position of power to get sex partners. I’m glad his wife is out here letting women know not to trust him.

Standard hero worship. He was one of the “good guys” for two decades and just like with Lance Armstrong it can take a long time for them to actually read the evidence.

Also, he fired Charisma Carpenter for getting pregnant after years of working for him.

Can I just ask was anyone really surprised that Whedon wasn’t the feminist hero he was turned into?

Honestly, it’s kinda weird to run a site idolizing a single person on this side of the 90's. regardless of his personal behavior.

As someone who knows the absolute devastation and trauma being cheated on (by the last person you would think) I absolutely understand why Kai did what she did.

I get so annoyed when I see people acting like no one in the world has ever been pregnant before them.
