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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't actually remember using the term "inherently compromised."
I said I didn't think it was inherently contaminated, and you challenged me on that point. I must have over-read into it, but I took that to mean you thought that it not being inherently contaminated had to be defended, which made me think you thought it was. I apologise for my inference.

Am I "all just as hackley"?
Okay, stepping away now.

It is possibly a Stairwell of Requirement which only appears at a time of great need.

I meant "is everyone who is objecting to the lipstick feeling their hackles just as raised by Slut Walk. Not digging into you, Steph.

Was there an LA Slut Walk? I tried googling for one at the time, and couldn't find one. I'm not very good at walking, but I'd have walked for that. I'd totally walk for the freedom for my aesthetic choices *not* being interpreted as a moral issue by predators and assholes. It's a skirt, not a message T-shirt with my personal ethos on it.

I've never seen a Slut Walk promoted as something All Women Should Do, so while I find them incredibly problematic for many many reasons, they don't bug me the way the lipstick thing does.
I feel like the irritating part is the underlying assumption that all women are going to be wearing lipstick anyway, so why not choose red. If it were "Wear red for International Women's Day" I'd be all over it, because an assumption that all women will be wearing clothes is a pretty safe and un-encumbered-by-patriarchal-baggage one.
