New trend in Northwest espresso: embarrassingly dressed baristas
Spluff:
nope
(edit- beat me to it. But I'm going to leave my post here anyway for emphasis)

I think at this point, the term "feminist" not only has become a bit of a dirty word but also by virtue of being a thing and a movement for a while now it has had time to be beaten to death and connected to so many different things that its meaning is distorted and almost needs to be redefined and clarified every time you use it in a sentence.. I think it'd be most useful if it were used to refer to someone who actually did things to further the fabled cause i.e. feminist social activists, and not just anyone who thinks "Yeah, women are pretty okay, they should be treated properly."
Orbert:
So basically there are coffee shops with barristas in bikinis, but guys who are normally nice to females anyway don't want to go there because they don't want the barristas in bikinis to think they're hitting on them, or because they don't want to be seen there and have people think that that they're the type of guy who'd go to a coffee shop with barristas in bikinis? And it's embarrassing for the customer?
This is more fucked up than I thought. We've reached the point where servers in bikinis are okay, but guys are too afraid to go there because they don't want to be thought a pervert. Fuck that. I'd still go, because if the girls can't tell the difference between someone being polite and someone hitting on them, that's their problem not mine. And I don't care if someone sees me in there and thinks I'm the type of guy who'd go there, because I am there, so apparently I am that type of guy. Again, all other things being equal, I'll take the shop with the bikini girls over the boring one playing playing bad music. I'll be nice to them and try not to stare, I'll drink my coffee, then I'll leave. Life is too goddamned short to worry so much about what other people think.
Scandanavian War Machine:
when, if ever, do you think banks are going pick up on this trend?
there are some serious babes at my bank.
Cam:
I have to agree that feminist has gained a lot of distorted and, mostly ,negative connotations. I tend to refer to things in terms of Women's Rights for that very reason.
