this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Are you all just as hackley about Slut Walk?
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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Not purposely related: The Hunger Game nailpolish is back on, but the polish names have been changed.

Everywhere I am is the LA Slut Walk.

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.

used car prices have gone up a lot, especially for fuel-efficient models.
Yeah, my uncle owns a used car auction, and he says business has never been better. They're actually having trouble finding enough cars to meet demand.

I don't get where the red lipstick is being promoted as something all women should do either. Where did you see that?
Statistically, I'm unlikely to be wearing lipstick on March 12th, because I usually don't. However, the idea of changing my routine doesn't bother me at all, and I don't understand why it's an unlikely proposition.
