Holda, holda, holda. If Jez's stance is that women of color shouldn't be silenced, why have I seen comments removed when WOC try to ask about Hugo Schwyzer? No comment. Or when NINJACATE's (now ZOMBIECATE) post on groupthink went viral (I'd say 1,575,007 hits would count as viral), it was completely ignored and pushed…

Except this isn't an article about fat-shaming or rape, it's an article about shaming a woman for being thin. Explain how that is derailment.

That doctor needs to review HIPAA guidelines then.

I hate to be the devil's advocate here but perhaps the heckler was Fiona Apple's doctor.

And yet shaving any part of my body is completely disconnected from the infantalization of women. COMPLETELY, I TELL YOU. AND WHY ARE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT IT?

Except nobody EVER gets in dads' faces about "letting other people raise" their kids.

"If it's not you, it could be your friends, your mom, your coworkers — someone you know is being routinely discriminated against when it comes to being able to shop for a dress in a store."
