I guess what I am trying to get at in my first post is that like I am less and less interested in conversations about whether my pubic hairdo/high heels/other performative surface shit is feminist, and Way more interested in maternity leave and pay equity.

I am opposed to skin bleaching for the same reasons I am opposed to tanning, because it causes cancer. So, yes, I do think keeping your skin to it's natural colour is preferable. That being said, if they ever figure out how to give us fuschia or forest green skin, ala the Hunger Games*, I will be first in the queue. I…

I am all for critically examining the beauty standard, personally and on a societal/cultural level, but I am really uncomfortable with saying that natural hair is better, and that women who straighten their hair don't love themselves/their blackness. I am well aware of the whiteness of the mainstream beauty ideal, but…

I think you are deliberately misunderstanding her. She is saying that there is a continuum of responsible dog ownership, and that having an outside dog does not equal abuse.

I'm sorry, What? A dog that lives outside is abused?

Torres did not originally get the dog from the Karma Rescue. She had no contract with them.

Well, she's a JRT/Whippet cross, so white with red spots. Also, she is kinda foxy, and the Irish word for fox is a compound word : Madra Rua (Red Dog). Husby is Irish, and he named her. I want the next dog to have some black, and be Dubh (pronounced Doo-ve) (Black)

I know a lot of people in the USA who feel that way, that people should only buy from breeders, but what that generally seems to mean is purebreed dog, that was bred by a professional breeder. Most people with shit tonnes of breeding knowledge who are applying that for their financial gain in show dogs. Sure there…

I agree with almost all your points, but YES, it is ok to not spay or neuter your animal, and especially a younger animal. I can think of a handful of reasons that an 8month old puppy is intact, not the least of which is the intention to breed.

I agree. While I don't love everything she does, and in fact remain convinced that beez in the trap is her trolling, I do respect what she's saying here.

>If they're required to pay interns, they'll just hire new graduates and nobody will ever get any experience.

. . . . . . . ok.

Again, what specific actions do you want women to change? You want women to email more men on dating sites?

Did you see the shitshow that happened this year when a few Ravellenic mods tried to ban rainbows, and political discussion from the official board? Because it was a shit show of epic proportions.

> men mostly do have to make the advances and take the rejection. and i disagree that that is life. NO THAT IS THE WAY WE ALL LET IT BE. AND WOMEN HAVE THE MOST POWER TO CHANGE THAT. IN BOX WISE AT LEAST.

And that's how it happens, ladles and jellyspoons ..

"Hey guys, look at this dumb girl who thinks she's hot! She's not hot, amirite?"

Are you for reals? Are you seriously asking me to find "proof" that a man somewhere, sometime thought Jenny was attractive? Seriously, as if that has ANY merit.

She had the nickname before the "fame".

Well, her nickname pretty much follows the same pattern. Her name is Jenny, she has an amazing body, and so *other people* started calling her JWoww.
