He said something like "maybe not" after the poke, so he was essentially saying she had strong abs. That can definately come across as creepy out of context, but in my supportive relationship with my grandfather, this would not have been creepy.

This reads to me more as athletic smacktalk than fat shaming. My grandfather would say similar things to my brother (baseball, wrestling) and me (track and field, softball) about getting "soft" or off our game, and we would dish it right back to him.

Do you mean Dodai?

Yes, we are commenting on gender as a product of society. We are critiquing society's lessons in gender. We are saying all of this when we are state that this issue is gendered. FFS.

I don't think you know the difference between sex and gender.

Gender influenced the culture surrounding their personal upbringing. Gender is a social construction, a personal identity. Gender socialization is at work here.

Anyone else shout "RUN! GET AWAY!" like an annoying horror-movie-patron when the dude walked silently beside her for 5 minutes? What the ever-loving crap was that?

100+ individuals who all happen to be men. I'm telling you otherwise, this is about gender.

Did you miss where I said that it was not clear they were leaked? And where I said that, upon the realization of what I had done, I did feel ashamed? Here is the purpose of my comment, because it clearly whizzed by you: WE SHOULD FEEL BADLY WHEN WE REALIZE WE HAVE DONE HARM. THAT BAD FEELING SHOULD MAKE US CHANGE OUR…

I acknowledge that I misinterpreted your comment; discussing the magazine's choice is a whole other thing.

I don't know VF's intention for choosing that photo; they may indeed be trying to capitalize on the crime, and if so, it is deplorable. But, to me, I love that they went with a great shot instead of trying to…

...so...she should act modest and asexual? How she presents herself in the magazine is her goddamn choice. We should be allowed to be sexual without being victimized.

And if you read the article, the cover/interview were done well before the pictures were leaked. As if that would matter AT ALL; she still gets to be who…

It's my body, and it should be my choice [...] I didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body.

I don't think it was her daughter. A relative, yes, which is still disgusting and vile.

Grant (his wife) was not the therapist. Third-parties in the therapy sessions are not bound to confidentiality. Everything she did was legal, and under the advisement of her lawyer.

That convo is depressing. (Legally!) recording a therapy session on the advisement of your lawyer =/ child molestation. The end.

I tore so badly that I am now totally missing my left inner labia.

I have a VERY crunchy friend who convinced me (why the hell not?) to save my placenta, and she came over a couple days post-birth and dehydrated, ground, and encapsulated it. I've taken the pills for short periods of time here and there; it does fucking nothing. Glad I didn't pay someone (up to $500) to encapsulate it.

Congrats, Ms. Slayer! Wishing you and Baby Ginsburg all the best!

There was poop. And a compound birth (i.e., kid was born with his arm up by his face, as if he was leading a charge). Second and third degree tears. No drugs.

It's my fucking war story, and I will tell it until I die and then, lo, Ken Burns shall tell the tale of my son's birth, and you shall weep from my sacrifice.
