I am one of the disappointed voices on social media, so in fairness, I want to say that I've noticed Witchery have also added a "request size 20" option to some of their items online. So they are obviously guaging if there's a need, which I really respect.

Thankyou,  Basmah and Mamamia,  for reporting the truth about this story. Rural health availability is a disgrace and to misrepresent the calling put of this was an atrocious move on Shannon Fentiman's part.

@yeahyepyes there was a 30%spike in women killed by an intimate partner in the last year. 

katet May 21, 2024

@yeahyepyes as a woman, I completely disagree with you. Women feel less safe, and are fed up with men thinking they know what we feel. 

And we'd love an answer to Laura Palmer's question.  What are you doing to improve things?

@yeahyepyes but it is specifically discriminatory. Not to mention stupid, because fat chicks have money, and limited resources to spend it on!

It's also very likely that those of us in "mid" life just don't really give a shit anymore what "young people" think of us!

Omit? Emit?

@alessandra.z87 yes! And real horse girls do not wear cowboy hats and sequinned chaps, they wear stained jodhpurs and horse hair covered rugby jumpers!

Thankyou for this article.

Well hopefully he won't be. Hopefully she'll dump him like a hot potato after that appalling display of man-baby behaviour he's just displayed towards his coach. That's not a red flag, that's an entire scarlet carnival.

Wouldn't it be fabulous if politicians became outraged and proposed boycotting Woollies or Coles for their actual egregious business practices of price gouging and extortion of primary producers? Where's your high dudgeon for that, Peter Dutton et al?

I haven't seen it yet, but isn't 'Saltburn' essentially just 'Brideshead' revisited?

@Beauty yes! I have a separate account to document (for me) my fitness stuff, and every one gets a Katet's on Instagram as...msg from IG.

@moenanthea Not to mention having to sometimes order more than one thing because you don't know if it will fit!

It is literally discriminatory. It makes plus size (for want of a better term) women pay more in postal costs for the clothing. In what way is this fair?

katet October 22, 2023

Thanks for the update - very helpful.

Questions though:
Do Gen Zs completely reject the original meaning of words (eg the "out of pocket") because that's actually bizarre. Or is it just that it's also used alternatively?

I didn't expect them to help, but I'm sad that - my husband's parents in particular- they didn't seem to want to spend time with my child, when they've spent so much time helping out with their other grandchildren. 

katet September 4, 2023

OK, yes please people stop doing this to your hair, but can people also please stop using "mortified" when they probably mean "horrified"?

Mortified means ashamed.

@snorks I disagree that it's been around forever in the same format as it is now, or to the same widespread extent. It's become widely used by a large number of men following the rise of "dating coaches" in the late 90s/early 2000s, but prior to that it wasn't really a thing. Some men may have -deliberately or otherwise- found that it worked for some women,  but generally it wasn't something we really had to deal with.
