May 12, 2008 – [lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk] "Why Photoshop is a feminist's best friend" by Julie Burchill, Observer (UK) Sunday 11 May 07. http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/women/story/0,,2278316,00.html More »
How is Gloria Steinem a feminist 'leader'? I didn't know we had leaders. Should I have been obeying someone all this time? ;)
Love the fact the the first time I've seen gold medallist Adlington or murder attempt survivor Josie Russell mentioned on here is to criticise their appearances, while reality show winner Connie Fisher gets props.
I used to work with a librarian who was also a church organist, very polite, intelligent and calm. The police marched in one day demanding to seize allegedly hardcore pornographic material from the art collection. Needless to say, they left empty handed with sore ears.
I got myself mortgaged up at 22 because I was dating losers and knew if I ever had kids I couldn't rely on one of them to provide for me, and because 'Independent Women' by Destiny's Child was on the radio a lot.
Sold my flat a year ago and downsized to a narrowboat, never been happier. Came up with that idea all by myself, as far as I'm aware Beyoncé hasn't wrote a song about bilge pumps and barge poles, yet.
Don't bother calling me for the next half hour.
Damn, I wish I had a BFF who was so vocally judgemental and put so much time and effort into knowing what's best for me better than I know myself.
Oh wait, I already have a mother!
But it doesn't even cover the ass!
@MissedTheExit: I'm pretty sure it does, but I read a lot of Judy Blume and Paula Danziger when I was around that size so my memories are pretty Americanized!
I'm only a D/DD but I tell you what I never hear about - boobs play havoc with your golf swing. Someone do a TV programme about that, please.
This NEVER happens in parks I go to! No fair!
That is awesome. This totally elevates S&TC from 'guilty pleasure' to justifiable political metaphor.
Does anyone else feel uncomfortable that Winehouse's parents are enjoying the trappings of her fame?
I don't care how old she is, if she was my kid she'd be grounded, and I'd be riddled with guilt - justly or not - about how fucked up her life is right now.
That song sucks, sorry. But whenever I hear the Ting Tings I imagine it's Agyness Deyn singing, so I'm bound to be disappointed.
All that shouting and interrupting - HOW RUDE!!!
Our Prime Minister might have appeased Hitler but your manners are appalling. You're all going to hell in a handcart ;)
I'm with Julie Burchill on this... when a kid can open beer cans with its teeth, time to stop.
I can't believe that advert isn't a spoof... white coats, 'research'...
I reckon those exercises might work, though. I call it 'barmaid's breast' cos when I was working behind a bar and reaching up work stiff optics a lot, I felt my pecs really get worked out and looked a lot perkier as a result.
She's about 23... don't believe everything you read on Perez...
@pot_kettle: I agree. We already have too many homeless cats in the UK! We also have the strictest/most expensive quarantine system in Europe to protect our rabies-free status.
While I applaud this woman for taking action, I'm sure there are more cost efficient or effective things she could be doing.
Women need to STFU and keep popping out babies and suspend their rights to having opinions on any other matter.
If you're not prepared to sacrifice everything you've worked for and, y'know, quite like, and lower all your standards of living, don't have kids, you harridans.
I suspect this woman is one of those career woman. Shudder. Bitch should realise she can't have everything and go get her tubes tied.
