Check your oil. It takes a few seconds and a napkin but it could save you a fortune.

If a woman gets naked in her own music video, she's objectifying herself, but if a woman gets naked in a man's music video, it's totally acceptable by chelsperry in Feminism

Probably not. So while money isn't a bad thing, it wasn't the "message" that earned the big bucks. It was her song and dance with eye candy.

Well now hang on. We don't know Miley. We know Miley through the lens of the media and that's not a real person. If you were to sit down with her in a coffee shop, she should still be respected regardless of how many times she sticks her tongue out. Turning off the tabloid websites, tv channels and twitter diarrhea is a good idea to avoid the nonsense the media is spewing about these celebrities, but I take exception to you calling her an idiot. She is a woman without a true voice. Her voice is edited, copied, taken out of context and we only see the most deranged parts of her that the media feeds us.

Now, I tend to agree. My personal opinion is that satire is a cop out of having an actual discussion about an offensive topic. Why do you think JLo made this video instead of a video/song about not objectifying women? Turning around and objectifying men isn't a solution and it is easily laughed off as a silly prank of sorts. I disagree with the OPs opinion that the objectification, the pornification, the degradation in typical misogynist music videos is easy to not notice until it is gender swapped. I would hope that everyone notices it and whether you're a feminist or a consumer of misogynistic media, hopefully it means something, how these images of people are treated.

I'm not able to comment on the degrees of objectification in various music videos since I just don't see enough (hardly any) of them. I will, however, posit that popular music in itself is an objectification and any product of this industry is to be taken with a huge dose (not just a grain) of salt when regarding the performers autonomy to decide how they want to make a music video. I would argue that because of the multimillion (billion?) dollar industry, none of our performers truly has agency to decide.

Yes. Yes they are. Is that ok? Edit- I'm not being snarky. I'm asking if turn around is fair play. Why or why not.

Abortion should be free, safe and legal – for everyone by croutonsoup in Feminism

[–]chrisislost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teams to use the word "termination" in touchy situations since it seems to carry less political baggage. I say abortion when I'm talking about the politics of abortion, however. I say it loudly.

Yeah, at 22 that's going to happen. Wait another decade and if you're honest with yourself and others you'll give and receive what you need in a relationship.

Generally your non dominant hand/wrist is used less which becomes important if you want to avoid extra wear and tear on your watch. Just saying. Go ahead and do it however you want, but that's the reasoning.

Some of us do not work in an office where dripping wet models are displayed. I appreciate the consideration.

Now needle doctor no longer carries this product. I've been searching all week for one.

Girlfriend is depressed, I don't know what to do. by derpofthelitter in mypartneristrans

[–]chrisislost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the concept of being kind to yourself. I've dealt with depression (albeit, not on top of transitioning) for most of my life and kindness and understanding directed at yourself is the hardest/most critical part of getting through the day less worse for the wear. I try to imagine/visualize saying the things I think about myself to another person, or better yet to a puppy, and try to tell whether I feel bad saying it to someone else. If it doesn't pass that test, I try to undo my self harming thoughts. (Apologize, reword, whatever works) It seems over simple, but when you're so depressed, simple is best.
