Lemme tell you something.
You know what? I like feeling pretty. I do. Maybe that’s my shameful submission to the patriarchy and I’m not perfect at resisting the influences of misogynist mass culture, but it’s a fact of my life, and certainly most of the lives of teenage girls such as myself.
And we all know it’s bad that we’re told we can’t be pretty if we’re not skinny from...

Proposal: an introductory women's studies course...
thefloatingopera:
I mean, seriously, it’s fucking criminal that male students rarely enroll in women’s studies classes. The entire goddamn world is a giant men’s studies class; the least we can do is make sure they understand what it’s like not to be part of the club.
You know, I appreciate the thought process behind this, but there’s some Oppression Olympics going on. By the same logic,...

The House GOP's Plan to Redefine Rape →
jesusplayingolf:
squintyoureyes:
“This bill takes us backwards to a time when just saying no wasn’t enough to qualify as rape.”
Other types of rapes that would no longer be covered by the exemption include rapes in which the woman was drugged or given excessive amounts of alcohol, rapes of women with limited mental capacity, and many date rapes.
As for the incest exception, the bill...

“As the most outspoken gay rights advocate in Uganda, a country where homophobia is so severe that Parliament is considering a bill to execute gay people, Mr. Kato had received a stream of death threats, his friends said. A few months ago, a Ugandan newspaper ran an antigay diatribe with Mr. Kato’s picture on the front page under a banner urging, “Hang Them.”
On Wednesday afternoon, Mr....

- All of the acting is worse
- Tony isn’t a charming douchebag, just a smarmy douchebag. This is probably related to point A.
- Whereas Cass seemed like an honest, no-nonsense, sensitive portrayal of someone suffering from serious mental health concerns, the way they’ve portrayed Cadie so far seems more to be going the way of “let’s exploit the crazy anorexic girl for...

Well, you’re right, no one does that. But you know what you shouldn’t do? Malign women who are the subjects of photographs that objectify them. This is called slut-shaming, and our culture teaches women to do it to each other so we never address the oppressive structure...

“I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’.

“Keenan said H.R.3, introduced by Rep. Smith, if identical to last summer’s version, is even worse than the original Stupak ban on abortion coverage that was rejected during the debate on health reform. Keenan said Smith’s far-reaching bill would undermine women’s freedom and privacy in a number of ways:
