I don't specifically remember that episode of the late, great, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, but EVERY SINGLE APPEARANCE of the people's princess was magical.
They played off each other so masterfully and both were just their honest selves.
She gave him a set of novelty dried kangaroo testicles on one visit that he regifted to a woman explorer with MS who was going to North Pole.
I get the point, at the same time that ain't just any man,, that's Craig Ferguson and he's amazing too. Not saying he can't make mistakes, but he's an absolute legend in late night.
I'm a man and I would have been curious to hear the audience response, but my job isn't hosting a talk show. I wouldn't be surprised if Oprah jumped in.
Legit wouldn't be surprised if he saw the obvious answer coming and thought he'd give her a chance to make it funnier and more memorable
I've been called nasty shit for setting up friends for similar joke enhancements by people not familiar with us, I bet pros do it too
she said hold on a sec not stfu you mAaAnNn!
is there a fediverse version of /r/abrathatfits ?
There are not enough women in the fediverse to maintain femme-centric communities.
Most of the ones I used to be subscribed to shut down due to being abandoned/unmodded. And they turned out that way because of harassment.
It's a huge issue that no one will address. Mostly because they will be harassed.
It sucks.
Wow, I had no idea it was like that here, that's terrible :(
Yeah.. it really is.
That, unfortunately, is why I will never suggest Lemmy to people and why it will never be a viable option for most. Maybe that will change when the absolute batshit hostility stops, but considering all the communities lost.. nah.
I think it may be worth a shot to retry. There are trans and furry communities (which are smaller and similarly harassed populations) that seem to be thriving just fine. It's just important to consider what instance they are formed on. Something like blahaj.zone?
The issue is that women should be free to discuss women's issues without being harassed. And sometimes those issues include men. That's when the harassment starts.
Hell, there was an article posted when I first joined about women-only taxi services and I went in to comment my excitement and support! Only to be greeted with some of the most vile comments and insincere, shitty discussion I'd seen in a loooong time.
I'm not ""tough"" enough to moderate my own community that would inevitably put both it & myself as a target of harassment. Not going to risk putting myself through that. I'm stressed enough as it is.

Yeah I don't really know what to do about that. That's the state of things right now and it is always going to be a fight to move the bar on harassment. It used to be slapped/pinched butts and generally forced servitude.

Yeah, ain't saying it has to be you but it unfortunately has to be someone for the space to exist. I'm not the right person either...but a space is necessary to allow for meaningful discussion and people to see and hear about those experiences and perspectives. I'm saying that because those trans and furry communities exist it should be possible for people to make a feminine space here on lemmy besides femcel memes.
I know for a fact that I'm not the only woman who has gone to say something, then deleted it because that element seems strong here.
I'll say that of the space on lemmy where I've seen women's issues discussed, the place I've felt safest about it is blahaj, but I am not gonna try and coopt their space. They really deserve to have a space somewhere. I'm glad they've got one here.
In the meantime, most of the women I've run into on lemmy feel uncomfortable making waves in the spaces where those people are, but we tend to skew older, so while it's sad, at least we're used to keeping quiet.
E; some pretty gross comments in this thread alone. If those negative and ignorant comments were higher than this one, and I saw them first, I wouldn't have made this comment either.
We need a safe space, but most of the women I know on here don't have the time or energy to moderate it. And there's so few of us, it feels like it's not worth the effort anyway.
I think there are more women than you think. They are leaning for good (avoid harassment) or bad( not talk about things) to be quiet as you mention.
I hope things will improve. Hope all the harassers have lives as unpleasant as they deserve.
That's horrible.
I want to say we should start our own instance for feminists and kick anyone that acts like that. But I'm not sure what that would even look like or if it would gain traction.
Then don't wear them?
I think many don't wear them, while at home.
My gf doesn’t really unless there’s a top she wants to wear that requires it. 99% of the time she isn’t wearing one.
And 100 percent of the time she is fine?
If I don't wear a bra my nipples will show prominently through nearly every one of my tops though
Welcome to the club? My buddy T-dogis like Mr glass nipples big deal. This is the same argument why woman can't go topless but men can.
Your buddy’s boobs probably aren’t sexualized like women’s boobs are. It’s not just nipples. And there are plenty of other reasons that women wear bras: lift, shape, and believe it or not, even comfort for some of us who are pretty large.
Not to mention that for large-busted women, it's even more uncomfortable to go without any support. My partner hates bras but is always wearing one (even in the privacy of our home) because otherwise her boobs get sore.
I wouldn't complain but I can see why you might want some light armor
I’m all for breastplate being part of daily fashion
