Okay so I found a 2000s silk/linen DVF dress in a 4 and assumed I’d have to take it in slightly, but for some reason it has a 23.5” waist. Luckily, it (barely) fits and looks phenomenal, but I can’t slouch in it because it’s super unforgiving.

Do you think it's normal for some women to not be feminine or masculine because they don't t think about it that much?

Do you think one reason feminism isn't more widespread among women is that it sometimes paints women as victims who lack agency? It's not always an empowering way to look at the world.

No, feminism isn't super widespread among women because women materially and socially benefit from conforming to what the patriarchy demands of women and yoking themselves to men. It's not easy to live by feminist principles, I don't do it all the time, but I'd like to think I do my best.

How I feel as a radfem military wife who's anti-porn/cosmetic plastic surgery, militantly pro-choice, extremely pro-tech, radically atheist, and believes that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.

Honestly, nobody in the Democratic Party Extended Universe is right-wing on anything at this point, they just explicitly champion some marginalized groups (immigrants, trans people, the "working class") and implicitly support trickle-down social justice for women.

Dylan went out with some friends and was first drunk texting me how great I am in Spanish and then he switched to English and started insisting that the only reason that Aishwarya Rai is considered more beautiful than me is because she's lighter-skinned.

He is obviously love-blind but it's sweet nonetheless lol.

I'm serious though, we love him.

This is exactly what Pantsuit Nation types said about Hillary Clinton (which almost certainly contributed to the massive anger and resentment leading up to and following her 2016 candidacy and loss to Donald Trump).

These people are just straight up delusional.

Most people <40 are politically disengaged; I went to Cornell and I'm the only one I know that regularly votes. I ran a quick regression to estimated 2026/2028 voter turnout by age x education and non-college Gen-X votes more than college-ed Gen-Z.
