There’s only so much time in the day, and only so many days in our lives. There’s enough great work out there that you don’t need to waste any time with anything that isn’t great. - Marco Arment.
Yes, I’m a feminist.
It is an extension of my lifelong war against pantyhose. To me it means that as women we are individuals before we are gendered people and that we’re not defined by our gender except in the ways we chose to appropriate that definition. We’re in a weird generation, right? Our Moms were forced to grapple with that definition more immediately, and I think it’s changed as we’ve grown up. The core issue “how do I fight bias against me because of my gender” is still there but has gotten more complicated and wrapped into all kinds of identity issues about how you present yourself as a woman and I pretty much think it’s your choice and fuck pantyhose.

Target Women: Wedding Shows with Sarah Haskins.

(Sarah is hilarious. I could watch her commentary all day long.)

I am now obsessed with Sarah Haskins! In this clip, she sticks it to the wedding-industrial complex in a totally un-annoying and un-sanctimonious way. She’s awesome.

“Bridezillas is about how the quest for the perfect wedding drives self absorbed women insane.”

I’ve never seen Bulging Brides but dear god does it look horrifying! This kind of thing only reinforces my idea that the perfect wedding consists of a bbq, a field, and a dress from Target.

Totally agree. If and when I do it, I’m doing it like that. Or like this. No fuss.

I laughed through this entire thing. (via tmblg & implodr)

This is, “I’m reblogging this, good.”

Yogurt power.

These female-targeted yogurt ads are truly ridiculous. And really though, who does serve yogurt at their wedding? These bullshit ads belong in the same category as the commercials about the disgusting powder that you add to water to make it “exciting”, and apparently is as thrilling as buying “sexy, new underwear.” I’d make a nose-dive for the remote every time they came on to avoid having my young daughter grow up believing that all you need to do to feel empowered is sprinkle some pink-coloured aspartame into your bottled water. So much hate.
