Should Photoshopped Pictures Be Labeled?
birchbox:
Photo: The New York Times
Take a look at any fashion magazine, and you’ll see countless images of airbrushed perfection. Even the most gorgeous celebrities and models have their pictures altered by professional retouchers using Photoshop. The software does what no makeup artist can: it erases every blemish, lengthens limbs, and sculpts inches off the waist. All of us know that the...

On the word classy.
bonjoursex:
As women, we are often told to “have some class.” This word has always irked me because it basically means, “Wow, look at how good she is at being a lady the right way, the socially acceptable way,” which is a weird fucking thing to say.
Classy means having or behaving like a higher-class member of society, amirite? Who inhabits this higher class, usually? Straight,...

I fucking love sex and masturbation.
feministhistorian:
That does not make me a bad person. That does not make me a bad friend. That does not make me understand history any less. Masturbating and having sex does not take away from my time with friends, time studying, time working, etc. Masturbating and having sex has not turned me into a shallow mean person who only cares about dictating peoples lives. Masturbating and having sex...

I don't know if this is going to make any sense......
Warning: sensitive topics below.
So here’s the thing: rape makes me fucking sick. I don’t know how to fully express what I mean by this. Understand that I’m a male and have never been raped, and so I don’t have to deal with PTSD or anything of the like—but far too many people do. Rape, and more specifically our culture’s attitude towards rape, is just fucking...

“[TW: Rape]
Eight percent of college men have either attempted or successfully...”
– Margo Maine, Ph.D. (Body Wars)
There was a time that, as a person of the male persuasion, seeing this quote made me really mad. It made me mad that women would assume that I was a rapist; it made me mad that rape was becoming ‘my problem’; it made me mad because, frankly, I didn’t think it was...

Other concepts that might be evoked are workplace and educational discrimination or the wage gap. These...
