I need to make an addenda--there is a place in the world for bright red sex bomb lipstick--if you want to be a sex bomb, and I for one will fight to the death for your right to be a sex bomb. More power to those of you who can pull it off.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
What I said is that I don't see a global movement of women wearing red lipstick as an expression of "power."
Would your hackles not be raised if they said, "If you wear lipstick, wear red in solidarity.."?
Bright red lips have been described as predatory and dangerous and that the woman will devour the man.
L'Oreal should then make a color called vagina dentata. And I will buy it with pride.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't want anyone telling me that I have to OR that I can't
Who said you have to? Is that about the gesture of solidarity, or the beauty ideal? I mean, it's not like Spirit Day said you have to wear purple.
I said is that I don't see a global movement of women wearing red lipstick as an expression of "power."
You also said you thought it was inherently compromised, which I still don't get.
who's going to know that you are wearing red lipstick for any particular reason?
Again, Spirit Day is what comes to mind just because it's the last thing I paid attention to, but I don't recall people reacting to it with this objection either.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hmm. Our building is having a fire drill, kind of. We were told by the PA system to report to Stairwell G. On the map of this floor by the elevators, there are two stairwells listed - E and F.
So I guess we're all gonna die in a fire?

Pix, I'm so sorry about Byron. He was a good kitty.

Okay, that would be awesome.

Off the lipstick topic-
Why do people advise people to buy "beater" cars for $1,000 or less-- because I do not think those exist anymore. $5,000 seems to be pretty much bottom of the barrel.

I'm so sorry. I've been thinking of you and Byron this morning and wishing him a peaceful passing. It's never enough time.
