I'm sorry, but are you really defending her hitting her mother? That is definitely not acceptable under any circumstances, so I don't think it the criticism of her behavior has anything to do with her weight.

Your 8 year old is also not a reality TV star that's been in the spotlight and exploited from a very young age. Calling an 8 year old a "pig brat" is seriously low.

IDK, I think regal would be better than this "cucumber-cool, as beautiful and hieratic as an ancient Egyptian statue of a cat goddess."

Please tell me they do not refer to Nyong'o as REGAL, aka the go-to adjective for women of color—just as ARTICULATE is used for their male counterparts.

"the profile of Nyong'o was written by Hamish Bowles, who calls the actress "cucumber-cool, as beautiful and hieratic as an ancient Egyptian statue of a cat goddess.""

Why is everyone in a rage to protect kids from knowing about death? My kids watched Into the Woods for the first time when they were, respectively, 3 and 5. I mean, we talked about it of course. But it seems to me like these are ideas they are going to encounter one way or the other, and better to have it in the…

I'm giving this article one star because the author used too many parenthesis and there weren't any jokes about Canada. Could also use more f-bombs.

YOU SAW IT COMING, TROUT.

And where is this Rule of Fashion written?

I get all the dangers, etc., but to just answer your question: because it's fun. Really really really fun. I have memories from college of things that almost certainly would not have happened were everyone (anyone?) involved sober. Hilarious, weird, sometimes slightly dangerous memories.

No, I think SHAME and the desperate desire to fit in motivate a lot of young men. And if we can get the enlightened guys, the normal guys, the guys with sisters, and male culture to affirmatively say "this is what's cool/acceptable" then it moves the needle. No, women complaining about it won't do that much; men have…

You are a troll.

Thank you, I think.

To those of you saying that Kelly (and by extension all Mormon feminists) should just leave the church, please know how hurtful that is for us to hear—and we hear it from both sides: "faithful" members of the church who tell us to go somewhere else if we want to see change within the church, and from people on the…

It's funny to me, I've heard people grumbling about this recently (just a few friends and acquaintances) that sharing a bed is outmoded our based or religious what-have-you...

"The question was asked, 'What could make a woman become so dark? To lose all sense of her maternity, her womanhood, and her softness?'"

Stranger rape may not be how rape normally looks, but it is the lived experience of Ms. Gatto and her mother. I'm not sure how I feel about using this story (which is a brave thing to talk about in public) as a launching point for "But that's not what rape really looks like and she's hurting the cause and empowering…

I loathe the term "product of rape". Like rape is an assembly line that produces babies.
