Why mock the self educated? What makes you think that you have the intellectual high ground?

No. Not necessarily. Not if the term comes from a positive place as opposed to a shaming place. If what you were saying was true, then we would never need to revise our language. We could use terms like “retard” or “homo” with abandon because hey, all words hurt eventually !!!

The very fact that most women own like 2 pairs of spanx plus multiple push up bras etc just proves that it is not equal. How many men own shape wear ??? Certainly some but nowhere NEAR the amount of women that do .

My problem with your last paragraph is that you seem to think saying things like “put down the spoon” are actually some sort of encouragement. Studies have shown that fat shaming actually has the opposite effect purportedly intended. Talking about health—meaning healthy habits, healthy foods, exciting things you can…

Women were directly asked which words they liked, and which ones they didn’t. So are you criticizing women for answering a question they were asked? Or you’re criticizing their opinions? Or criticizing that they answered the direct question about the magazine they do read, but then didn’t, in your supposition, then…

You do realize hers because women slave and starve to fit that ideal and undergo Breast and butt augs, correct? They weren’t born that way. They also weren’t born hairless or with glowy skin and long lashes (most of us). But they slave to fit that ideal because society has told us our value lies solely with our…

But people (women) are telling you (and Women’s Health) that those words are harmful. And the magazine is hearing them and changing the words. So I guess I don’t see the point or value of you (or anyone) saying that, “No, really. Look at how these words in other magazines for other readers are actually not harmful at…

I could actually maybe see it with the underwear models, although I’d more likely say that they were both equally unrealistic as expectations for the average schmuck, but yeah, the GI Joe thing? Isn’t he just a fit dude, albeit a bit hard body (heh - not just because he’s made of plastic)? Barbie has those topple-over…

It would be nice if that were the case for women, and for men as well, but it’s not. Men tell me what they think about my body (about 50% lewd approval and about 50% cruel insults) on the street a few times a month. It’s not socially acceptable to yell back, as it’s seen as wasting time on an idiot, nor is it safe. In…

It’s like an echo chamber in there.

I agree with your conclusion here, but I'm curious as to why you think GI Joes and male underwear models are a more unrealistic expectation than Barbies and female underwear models.

You said “no one has a problem with this,” and then said You don’t have a problem with this either.. So why are you talking about this, in an article, Not about this? “Hey, instead of talking about what you’re talking about, let me tell you about something else that you don’t seem to care about! And I don’t actually…

If you are a proxy for other men, which you may or may not be, then the difference is that women mind these words while you claim men do not.

Oh lord, a “what about the mennnzzzz” already? Cheesus Crisp, save us.

Um, you really should ASK ME FIRST if you’re going to be posting my pic everywhere, jeez.

I’m going to say that this is both a very personal preference on your part, and that you presented it in the worst way possible by steering the discussion toward men’s magazines.

If you don’t like them, I’d suggest you write and complain, or start a blog critiquing covers, or otherwise let magazines know that you don’t subscribe now but might if they change their content.

Honestly, I prefer them. If given a choice, I ask for an NP / PA.

I think Uber is clearly in the right here. Passenger’s trip took longer 10 minutes longer than usual, Uber refunded the cost of that 10 minutes.

You feel like you shouldn’t pay for the trip at all because it took 10 extra minutes? I definitely think they should have adjusted the cost, which they did, but I don’t really see why they would refund the whole thing for that. I mean, you still got to your destination.
