Quickies: The most successful female Everest climber, tuberculosis, and an upskirt ad
- The most successful female Everest climber of all time is a housekeeper in Hartford, Connecticut – Via.
- How tuberculosis shaped Victorian fashion – The trailing skirt of death!
- A Black feminist roundtable on bell hooks, Beyonce, and “moving beyond pain” – From Mary.
- Sorry, Calvin Klein, women are not flattered by sexual harassment – “Calvin Klein’s “upskirt” ad isn’t daring, but playing with misogynist tropes about women and sexual harassment.” NSFW warning for the ad itself, which features an upskirt photo.
Oh, remember when Olivia kinda accidentally defended a Holocaust denier? Well, Canada gave him the banhammer.
