Skepchick - The Great Face-Paint Debate

It’s not as simple as makeup being anti- or pro- feminist. I’d like to note again, the second we say “a woman must” or “a man must” /because/ they are women or men… we fail as feminists.

Intention vs. Reality: Why BMI Is Not Just a Tool - Skepchick

BMI as shaming tool.

Rescued from Caperton’s Recycling Bin: “Catcalls are not a feminist issue. Apathy is.”

This is a good example of why Wurtzel’s name is a near ephit in my house.

It’s not in the math, but is in the thinking.

You’ve stated that you support the ‘desexualization’ of breasts. By that, are you mostly talking about ‘women are a lot lot more than simply body parts’, or do you mean you’re also actually against the idea of people thinking breasts are sexy/sexually att

A well stated question and great answer.

So from what I can tell, working at the Daily Fail is just an intellectual exercise in seeing how many different ways you can write “LADY LEFT HOUSE WITH BOOBS”.

Feministe - Breasts — Augmented or Not — Belong to Real Women

when the world isn’t providing the forms to order media wants.

“Perfume ads, beer billboards, movie posters: everywhere you look, women’s sexualized bodies are on display. A new study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, finds that both men and women see images of sexy women’s bodies as objects, while they see sexy-looking men as people.”

People see sexy pictures of women as objects, not people; sexy-looking men as people

Oh, sure, sure, men are objectified too. My eyes are not rolling at all.

Why Full Busted Women Are Buying Their Bras in Poland (and Why You Should Too)

thelingerieaddict:

Most full busted women can easily figure out the pounds to US dollars currency conversion, but it may surprise you that many of them can also estimate prices in Polish Zlotys without a calculator. It turns out there is a magical land where bra manufacturers are making bras in all shapes, sizes, and colors of the rainbow. Oh, and they come in 28 backs and in cup sizes A through N.

“In Breasts, Williams, a contributing editor for Outside magazine, attempts to offer a comprehensive social, cultural, medical, and scientific history of the human breast, a la single-word-titled best-sellers like Cod or Salt or Stiff—though not, alas, Balls. (In an act of one-word-wonder solidarity, Stiff author Mary Roach blurbed Breasts, citing Williams’ “double-D talents.”) Though that genre of sweeping, single-topic histories can wind up feeling hasty and reductive (it’s hard to write the history of one thing without touching on the history of all other things), Williams’ writing is scientifically detailed yet warm and accessible. She also stays firmly away from the juvenile (BOOOOOOOOO!!!) and isn’t afraid to delve into her personal life, making Breasts a smart and relatable, if occasionally dry, read.”
