reannon: a teacher harasses an eleven-year-old male student by tying his long hair into three ponytails and encouraging his classmates to mock him by calling him "girl" and female names. This is why feminism is everyone's issue and this is why LGBTQ rights are everyone's issues. If being female and/or deviating from any given person's idea of a gender norm weren't considered bad, fuckery like this wouldn't happen. Of course, in the case of a teacher so mean-hearted, I have to imagine they would have done something else appalling on a different issue, given the chance.

iPad feminine hygiene jokes reach CNN.

Dior has clearly seen Moulin Rouge and just about every movie musical from the 1950s. I am full of love. Really hate Lagerfeld's collection for Chanel this go around though. And I really love Lagerfeld as a rule.

amand_r: Apparently Australia has banned the appearance of small-breasted (A-cup) women in porn because they resemble underage girls. If one extrapolates "logically" from this shit we wind up with sex with the non-buxom being criminalized or something. Australia has also banned porn that depicts female ejaculation. Because the way women's bodies actually can be? Indecent and disgusting apparently. This has me more enraged than I can describe. Look, it's like this, no matter how privileged your body (i.e., mine -- thin, hour-glass shaped, white, no visible disabilities) if it is is female, IT IS ALWAYS WRONG. That's the world we live in.
