Also, men might not judge us on how stylish our clothes are but they sure evaluate us by our fuckability and women wearing baggy sweats are generally not deemed fuckable and if we aren't fuckable, we're worthless. So there's that.

You think ties are confining? Try bras. And those of us with sizable breasts don't have the luxury of taking that bra off in more casual settings. I can't ever leave the house without one except in the winter when I go downstairs to the store to pick up a couple of items and have my giant puffy down coat covering…
It's almost like women grow up in the same patriarchal culture men do and sometimes internalize sexism. Wow!
Yeah and one of the few times a man received widespread criticism of his clothing choice, other men reacted by telling women to go kill themselves on twitter, calling it fascism, using it as evidence that women can't do STEM, even claiming that this was indicative of the collapse of western civilization. Women get…
True. But I tend to think that most people who don't understand male privilege are full of shit. They understand. They pretend they don't because they want to keep the status quo going.
When I was trying on jeans there the other day, I saw a plaque in the fitting room saying additional sizes were online. I didn't see that advertised out on the floor. That might be helpful for someone who is on the straight/plus size cusp and brought the largest available regular size into the fitting room and found…
If you don't care about this, why did you click on the story, read it, go to the comments section and reply to someone. If we don't have lives because we're commenting on Jezebel, neither do you.
If the Greek system has a bad PR problem, the burden is on them to fix it. It's not on the rest of us to seek out Greek sites we haven't even heard of. It's on you to come to these comments sections and tell us in a non-defensive way what is being done to fix it. If what we're hearing from you is "but I had a great…
Writing about these issues on blogs and newsletters that only other Greeks read isn't solving the PR problem if you're only showing the defensiveness to outsiders. The defensiveness is all we see. Also, the defensiveness shows up in responses to reasoned criticism. So it would seem like some of you are interpreting…
Are plus sized women shaped any different than regular sized women? It seems to me that women of all sizes come in different shapes. In fact I just bought a pair of jeans at Old Navy in a regular size and they had three different styles. One to fit straight up and down shapes, one to fit curvy shapes and one to fit…
Agreed. I think the tone deafness is more on the part of Victoria's Secret who is partially responsible for our culture's absolutely ridiculous body standards.
In general I agree with you but I don't know if Anna Kendrick is the best example. Have you seen her in Camp back when she was still really young? Maybe it was just the hair and makeup but she did look pretty geeky and mousy. I think she's genuinely one of those people that had to grow into her beauty. Not that…
Maybe if the good apples would spend more time trying to reform Greek culture, which obviously does have toxic elements or we wouldn't see a new horror story every day, and less time denying there's a problem and crying #notallfratsandsororities, people wouldn't be saying we should just scrap them altogether. You…
You've also got to love the "rape and abusive hazing are bad things and all, but it would be really a shame if people missed out on making friends in frats/sororities."
So, you're using a fake anecdote you pulled out of your ass as an argument against feminism because you don't have any real substantive argument to make. Got it.
Why didn't Siskel and Ebert make their own movies?

If you don't care, why are you throwing a tantrum?
Holding a door open is polite. That's why nobody actually yells at anyone for doing. That is a straw feminist you made up. You're blaming feminism for the figments of your imagination.
