We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
tommyrot, be aware that if you buy a hybrid, your IMA battery will eventually lose efficiency and need replacing at a cost of $2K+. Signed, bought a 2004 hybrid and only has 150 mi left on the battery warranty.
Absolutely. It's less of an issue when it happens to men, and that it's cool as tit for tat, or as "reparation" for violent crimes. NO. Bad thing. Always bad thing.
My issues with Veronica Mars s3, let me show you them. I'm supposed to believe that a sexual assault support group sexually assaulted a guy, because they thought him guilty of rape? No. Also, the number of prison rape jokes on that show were really disturbing.

God, I hated that. Such a foul strawmanning of feminism, because they had to make it clear that Veronica wasn't actually a feminist, because "real" feminists do shit like that.

Our wings are not tired.
Years ago, I got into a GIANT fight on another forum after calling someone out for making a prison rape comment (about a "don't reach for the soap" comment). My head still aches from it.

Yes, exactly!!!!
I just posted a picture of Jilli in an argument. Had to defend girliness.
Wow, ita, I commend you on your patience with that discussion. I think I sprained my eyeballs reading it. Of course, maybe they're just young? I was super anti-girly until I had it pointed out to me that that attitude was buying into a culture that devalues the feminine.

what are fang caps?
Removable prosthetic fang teeth, made from dental acrylic and custom-fitted to one's teeth. They just slip on over one's teeth, look completely natural, and stay on securely.
I've had at least one set in my possession for the past 20 years, because I AM that cliché.

thank you Jilli!
That is the kind of thing that one cannot google properly for fear of all kinds of inappropriate photos and content.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Nifty swag bags, though I have no intention of ever going to SDCC. (Crowded beyond my tolerance for crowds, for one thing.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Of course, maybe they're just young?
How can you not have met one decent feminine person? Or did you just decide girly girl means those women, you know, the ones you don't like, the ones that are useless, and there's no misogyny in that at all, nosirree.
Jezebel had an article about someone bitching about an eight year old kickboxing girl, and sure enough, someone was bitching that her gloves were pink. A 6' 275lb woman piped up that she liked to hit people while she was wearing pink, and I couldn't have been more pleased.
I saw the cutest little boy yesterday. He was pushing a pink stroller with a baby doll strapped into it. Adorbs.
