Women's Issues

Tea is f*cking brilliant.

Oh good, pagetopper. That won't be confusing.

Nope it won't, it is brilliant.

See now I'm wondering how possible it would be to have a cup of tea while having some fun time...

I am so British...

Thanks to you, never again will I picture sexy british ladies without a cupfull of tea and pinkies up.

Joking aside, that is what we are supposed to do, and it's pretty easy to spot the "leaders" compared to the ones actually leading.

So, today I had a... weird episode.

I was out on the Shopping hanging out with my mother and her boyfriend.

At one point, we stopped so she could get some coffee, there was a sliding stair nearby.

While she was drinking, a woman in a jeans skirt who may or may not have been going commando got on the sliding chair and went up.

My mother told me and her boyfriend to look saying we were going to see her butt, she looked, he may or may not have, I just stared ahead to my mom's face without looking at the stairs. After the woman passed my mom asked why I didn't look, I said it was neither the time nor the place for something like this, she replied that if that woman really didn't wanted to be seen she wouldn't have dressed like that.

Outside I didn't show anything but inside I was like ಠ_ಠ

Here is the important question

Was she hot?

Internalized sexism is a thing.

Yeah, I know. Doesn't makes this any less disconcerting to me.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I love her, I really do. But seriously? Sometimes she just makes me want to facepalm.

That cheered me up a bit actually.

Ummmmm, why would some one go commando in public any way, especially with a skirt on.

._.;

Like I said, she may or may not have done that. I am not sure, didn't pay much attention to her.

Does it matter?

No one likes to see internalized sexism. It is a thing I stare at with horror. It is personal, it is visceral and immediately present rather than some of the theorethical stuff we can read about with some sort of emotional distance that does not concern you.

More disgusting is how prevalent it can be.

In either case for the why, the answer is simple. Exhibitionism fetishism. Assuming she was wearing nothing. Which doesn't really give her the "right" to go around free-er than willy (free-er is a word now I made it up) but it is an intransigence on the rights of others who do not wish to be expoed to it. A social faux pas and I am pretty sure an illegal one too when it comes to the law in Brasil

The skirt in question was rather long... knee-lenght IIRC, so unless you got in a very particular angle it would be impossible to see it.

It just so happens that sliding stairs relative to the table we were on gave the angle in question.

Maybe she had scottish blood and wears it to honor her ancestors and their proud heritage of wearing kilts.

More likely, Brasil is in a region full of mother fucking sweltering heat that demands light clothes that allow for some air to get in as many places as possible because jesus mother fucking christ I AM MELTING

Tell me about it, lately I have been drinking so much cold water simply because it has been so hot.

Also, sometimes women go commando under skirts because of issues with yeast infections. Generally longer ones, but it's an issue with sweat getting trapped their that can make vaginal flora a bit crazy.

I just personaly would never do that in public, but that may be because we kinda had our own set of problems back home....

-shivers-

Still, that was just wrong...

Ah. Sweat, exhibitonism, and festering jungles of bacteria thriving in women's nethers, breeding all sort of evolutionary monsters gnashing and tearing at the soft tender flesh underneath the canopy of pubic vegetation. Has the women's issues thread ever got nastier than this? Anyone wanna bring up menstruating or something now just to kick it while it is down? Vagina dentata? Yeast infected vagina dentata?

Thankfully women don't poop or fart so we don't have to add that. Phyew.

So anyways I was roaming around wikipedia (instead of working) because I am looking for the name of that haircut which is half shaved half long, kinda punk-ish, and incredibly sexy...and I found that people used to shave womens head, brand them with swastikas and parade them naked on the streets for having sex with people pointing a gun at them. Yaaaay.

Anyways in this article I read the following:

it does not elaborate on these "feminine signifiers". What are these? wide hips? Big butt? breasts? Long eyelashes? lipstick? Or is this refering to other sort of symbology outside of physical ones?

The "Womens' Issues" thread: exuding class and sophistication from every orifice.

EDIT: Removed my off-topic question.

I did not. It seems to be some sort of variation of the mohawk, however, and the mohawk style varies a lot. I wish I knew, though

The name of a specific hairstyle is not a women's issue.

Three New Jersey rabbis convicted of kidnapping charges due to their unorthodox methods of getting religious divorces:

Orthodox Judaism is a fundamentalist sect, or at least that's my understanding.

Not necessarily. While Orthodox Judaism is more a strict (or stricter than most sects) adherence to Halakha, but does necessarily mean a reaction to modernism that are key in most fundamentalist movements regardless of religion (Compare Wahhabism to the usual Sunni Islam with the knowledge that "sunni" translates to "orthodox"). Haredi Judaism is more apt of a descriptor of what I would define as "Fundamentalist Judaism", and it's plausable these folks could have been Haredi (not making assumptions though).

Huh. I did not know Judaism allowed divorces?

Then again, didn't Solomon have like. 700 concubines and 300 wives or so
