All My Heart Bridal Boutique

All My Heart Bridal Boutique | ED 262 mylineONLINE:  Gender, Sexism, & Sexual Orientations | Scoop.it
All My Heart Bridal carries plus size wedding dresses. Serving plus size
brides in Kansas City and Lees Summit.
Dennis Swender's insight:
Located in Lee's Summit, MO, a Kansas City suburb, this "Boutique With Curves" is the "first and only bridal boutique in Kansas City to specifically service plus size bride sizes 14 and above."
 
The "About" description asserts that all designers were "handpicked because of the quality of their product, attention to detail, and love of empowering women one dress at at time," i.e., real women empowerment on an issue that is often overlooked -  especially in the sense of providing equitable quality products and services.
 
A 3-hour private shopping experience, for up to 10 guests, includes hair and makeup services, champagne and light appetizers, store credits, and wedding day consultations.

Toxicity: The True Story of Mainstream Feminism’s Violent Gatekeepers - | ED 262 mylineONLINE:  Gender, Sexism, & Sexual Orientations | Scoop.it

Internet culture has become increasingly meme-heavy, and the mainstream (white) feminist meme du jour is “toxicity.” Twitter, they claim, has become hostile to them. When Louise Mensch wrote an article last year about why she didn’t need to check her privilege, there were few feminists rushing to her side. This year, however, daring to call a white woman out on her privilege – even when done in one’s own space in an entirely non-confrontational manner – is met with cries of bullying and worse.

 

Why the sudden change?
