Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The person did not hurl a neutral comment: "come back when you are adult" which would be firmly ageist and nothing else. The person hurled a phrase that to my eyes is pretty sexist. I get your points above, but by intertwining both things, I read it as sexist and ageist.
The racism part isn't apparent from that one remark.
Does it matter if it was a man or woman who said it? Because that seems like a phrasing more likely to come from a woman.
I firmly believe women can be sexist, so in my view, no.
Granted, LeN. Now I'm curious as to the likelihood of a man linking a period to maturity. I know too many appalling sorts that would be using a different type of milestone.
Yeah, for me I can only go as far as gendered insult. I know some people think those are as bad as a sexist insult, I do not agree. At least, not in that example. I don't feel she's being told to shut it because she's female. Or that calling out menarche is offensive or belittling. She's being dumped on because she's eleven, in my read, not because she's she.
all I can know for certain is that we have given the tweet a lot more thought than the tweeter.
Will someone bring me cake? My boss has not been in the office for a week. He leaves Sat. for another week and a half out of the office, so 2 days here in a 3 week period and he left today at 2pm. srsly? how does that work?
ms belle, if I could shove it through the series of tubes, I have lots of cupcakes leftover from my BBQ yesterday. Also, leftover salsa, and quinoa/bean/peppers salad, and some other stuff. Plus beer than neither my roommate nor I drinks.
Oh man, why am I working? I mean, I knew I would have to, but it's still annoying. I'm still trying to decide if I have time to go the beach tomorrow. HMMMM.
cupcakes AND beer, that sounds like 8 kinds of heaven.
I love that kids just keep growing. It's a beautiful thing.
Except for the part where Emmett is starting to outgrow his size 12 shoes.
We just go back from buying him a foam roller because his ass is so sore from his cross-fit training. And he's got to catch an entire game tonight.
Since we were in the Richmond District, we swung by our favorite cheap Dim Sum plus and got lots of Siu Mai. Pork balls!
