Yes, let's just ignore all the ads, all the discrimination, all the exploitation of female sexuality on TV to focus on one little sliver of whatever this is. Let's ignore our whole culture.

Yes, nobody ever talks about that but those kinds of Shootings are male. Nobody talks about how most People causing suffering in this world are also Groups of men. Young disenfranchized men are the most dangerous think there is. There are no female only armies terrorizing Nigeria.
Isha, while I appreciate the focus brought on this hashtag, I think you're extremely wrong to characterize "everyday misogyny" as somehow distinct from the misogyny which fueled Rodger's machinations and eventually his killing spree.
I was out for my birthday last Saturday night and was out dancing with my friends. Literally in just our little circle dancing away to some cheesy 90's music. Some guy came up behind me and just would not stop groping me. I removed his hands and said 'No' at least 4 times, eventually I just moved to a different part…
Stop. Mentioning. Asperger. Asperger does not make you unable to see the difference between good and evil. It is NOT an excuse. (Not personal to you, more of a general thing)
You literally said "women get arrested for these types of things here too" which was bullshit and a lie. I was pointing out it was a lie. I can judge any group of people who have oppressive laws (I have a similar disdain for the largely christian movement in the US trying to ban abortion or at least make it as…
Right? I'd be all "WHOOPSIE LOST MY PASSPORT, staying in Cannes, sry."
So a public kiss is too sexy, but a public flogging is okay? Sheesh.
There's something about a nonviolent, visual, creative protest that just gets my social justice juices flowing. So inspiring. Good on you, Columbia Class of 2014 - I'm glad our future is in your hands.
I actually work for a variety of colleges/universities in terms of fundraising. And having alumni participate, regardless of the amount, is important because it helps their rankings. If enough alumni respond that this isn't why they are giving, it will matter to them. And now that this is floating around social media,…
Wait... I'm self righteous? I don't recall being a non-professional dancer with some previous dance training critiquing the dance skills of a fashion model over the Internet. I also never said this:
I think it's hilarious when self-righteous people judge others for being judgmental.
I would disagree that she is being presented as a professional dancer. She doesn't say that she is. As a teacher, I have met a lot of people who dance for fun their entire lives, that's not rare. I just can't get up in arms over this. Yes, of course it would have been great if Free People had decided to promote a…
Thanks for this comment. As someone who took and really loved salsa dancing classes for two years and still doesn't really know how to salsa, I like the idea that even bad dancers can be dancers at heart. If this were dudes playing pickup soccer, no one would have said they should have gotten pros. I thought the…
My daughter's dance teacher has the same attitude as you. Dancing is primarily for joy. Everything else will come in time.
Thank you for posting this. I'm not a ballet dancer (I got into bellydance about 10 years ago, but never kept it up.), and seeing the haters/snobs just really irritated me. And it's people like that, that have kept me out of trying dancing again.
You knew I'd show up here. I'm not going to say what you think I'm going to say.
