I'm all for defining women outside the status quo, but whore is a pretty limited term. What about women who step outside the status quo without loads of sexual activity like nun activists or married (faithful) moms of four working to change children's health policy?
Defining women by their vaginal traffic flow doesn't seem like a step forward. #whore
This magazine kind of encapsulates everything that keeps me from embracing my own generation of feminists. I don't care if you like gay porn. I can't imagine what you have to say about it for 3000 words.
And "hipster stripping," hell, I live too close to Williamsburg to enjoy that. #whore
@ErinJane: That's okay, I have our big stupid lab trained to respond to "baby" and "puppy." It is hard to act like your dog is intimidating when you're walking him and suddenly see a pack of teenagers if he's wagging his tail to you cooing "baby!" at him. I had to upgrade him to "boy" when we're in public. #whore
I can't wait 'til there are enough issues of this magazine so that I can fan them out on a coffee table and gently place them near the toilet for when my obnoxious baptist cousins come and visit. #whore
The concept sounds awesome but I just can't get past the name. It's sounds too porny. I would've gone with "Loose" or "Shameless" or maybe "Smurfette." #whore
@KiddyKat: I understand the purpose of the name, but sadly, it's the very thing that is keeping me from clicking the link, as I don't think it would look great on my work computer and all, know what I mean?
Though I suppose that speaks to their mission a bit, no? #whore
That "automotive empowerment" article reminds me of the story of how my maternal grandparents met. Apparently, my grandfather came across my teenage grandmother when her car was broken down on the side of the road. She was on the ground, in long pants (in 1940!), changing the flat tire on her car with a lug wrench. He offered to do it, and she told him she was perfectly capable of fixing her car herself, thanks. And then they got married.
No matter how good the content, this is a really tough time to be starting a new magazine. I wish them luck, but I don't see a long life for the project. #whore

It was only ever awkward when I was yelling at her in the front lawn and a family was walking by. #whore

Suffice it to say, my grandmother is awesome.
Also, I am totally getting this magazine. #whore
