I’m also Team Goop and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I think she’s endearingly clueless. Sure, she’s rich and privileged and a little snobby. So fucking what. You would be too if you were born in her place. But unlike most of Hollywood, she isn’t a hypocrite and doesn’t pretend she’s ashamed of that or make dubious…

I’m a staunch Team Gee Pee member, as well. I still can’t believe Jez shit all over her for doing a PSA supporting Planned Parenthood.

I continue to be the sole person on Team Gwynnie. It’s a lonely fucking team.

So, my niece was in FFA when she was in high school. She spent a lot of time at speech competitions in official FFA dress which includes pantyhose for girls (seriously, FFA join the 21st century). Official dress also includes black dressy shoes for boys and girls.

Two words: Kevin Smith. Showed up in sloppy jeans, hoodie and T-shirt and had no problem getting in (this was years ago). I think it’s a ridiculous rule. Ridiculous.

It’s even worse than that. High heels are a fucking menace to your health. A necktie, tied at an appropriate degree of tightness, is unlikely to cause anyone issues unless they’ve got thyroid issues or throat cancer. But high heels are, to a greater or lesser extent, pretty terrible for everyone. If it’s your choice…

Yeah, and the dress code is “formal, fancy and venue appropriate.” As in, anything that is sufficiently dressed up should be fine. It’s not like women are trying to wear beach slippers. Fancy flat do exist. Women shouldn’t be required to wear an uncomfortable pair of shoes (that’s covered by their gowns anyway!) in…

Are you actually making the argument that a woman in an evening gown and flat shoes is roughly equivalent to a sloppy man in board shorts and a muscle tank? Because if so, then you need to go back to the drawing board and find a new thought.

they turned away people with medical. conditions. it’s an absurd rule to every possible degree.

I can’t watch the Walking Dead without thinking about how eating old canned goods and owls would give me cramping diarrhea and I’d be zombie food within a week.

FFS. Someone else, choosing to do something else, advocating for the option to do something else is not “bitchy”. It’s also not a judgement on you; stop it. Not everything is positioned as commentary on your lifestyle.

Do you think using a gendered slur like “bitchy” to describe women who you feel don’t give you enough support for your life choices is helping your case?

I thought the post did a beautiful job explaining why. You get to choose that, happily. And the reason you get that choice is because of the women like the writer's mother who angerly raged against that when that was the only thing they had. It's fine when it's a choice. It's not fine when it's not a choice.

You’re really not sure why, or you’re coyly “not sure why?” If it’s the former, consider re-reading the article.

Omg nobody cares. You do you, but if you can’t understand how these roles have been forced on women and serve as symbols of our historical oppression, then there is no helping you.

I’m 56 and cannot understand why younger generations AREN’T as angry. Give it time. It grinds you down - even with the battles won, the shit is still there.

Three thoughts:

Yeah, this is always the “tone” argument. If you were just nicer, maybe we’d respect you. I bring this up whenever someone tells me to “calm down” when I’m talking about feminism, and more than not, I’m speaking at the same volume as the men do during their arguments and discussions. But the perception is that I’m…

I will never understand how feminists can *not* be angry. This anger that permeates feminism is absolutely justified, and since women are currently losing ground and gains are being unmade, I would expect the least we can do is understand why. At which point does being a second-class citizen become something we should…

It was a typical night out at the bars in Minneapolis & was having a great time talking to a really nice guy. In the middle of a sentence, Josh Hartnett bounds up to the guy and drags him away while shouting, “No. Beer googles, dude. No. Beer goggles. Beer goggles. No. No. No. No. Take off your beer goggles. No. No.…
