Then why wouldn't Shape stand by those policies instead of saying that the freelancer's claims about said editorial policy were "absolutely untrue?"

The people who pay for a subscription to Shape magazine are looking to lose weight and/or get fit. The truth of losing a lot of weight (like 170 lbs) is that you're going to have loose skin. She was supposed to be featured in a segment for real life success stories. This is real life. This is what happens when you…

I won't argue that her stomach looks attractive, but I think it's disingenuous to praise people's dramatic weight loss while hiding what a body that's lost that amount of weight actually looks like.

Isn't it ironic? The article & comments on how misguided Shailene Woodley is, while proving her point right within them...lol

Exactly. Jezebel is proving her point for her.

Bread is good, no matter where it comes from!

So long as Woodley espouses values of equality, what does it matter if she rejects the term? Why does everyone care so much about holding onto a word that, sorry, has become misshapen over the years? What you believe in and what you fight for (and, no, calling Jennifer Lawrence your BFF doesn't count) is of greater…

Yes. Plus, jumping all down her throat about it instead of maybe having some compassion, is kind of proving her point about the girl on girl thing.

Sorry you do not enjoy coverage of the United Kingdom's pet dinosaurs!

Y'all. My grandmother is going to this wedding as her friend's plus one! The degrees of separation between me and my BFF Kate just got awesomely smaller!

No, you get opposing dealerships telling you to "just pick a side already, gosh!"

I just now realized the Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas are not the same person.

You raise a GREAT point, which is that the main sin when replying to an invite is not to reply at all.

The problem isn't with weddings being more extravagant and over-the-top that's making it more expensive to attend; it's the fact that people move all over the country, meaning it's more likely that your family and friends will have to fly to attend. Once upon a time weddings were cheaper to attend because your friends…

Isn't the simple answer here to just not go to every wedding you're invited to? I've been invited to destination weddings/showers/parties and it is always really easy: Sorry "X" - I'd love to celebrate with you but I/we just can't afford to do that right now. I hope you have an amazing day - I can't wait to see…

It's discriminatory inasmuch as I do not buy mangoes because I think mangoes are gross. But it is not illegal discrimination. And banks SHOULD have the right, contrary to what the author is saying, to choose all the (legal) choices they want. And see how the market reacts.

I genuinely think it's awesome, which is why I called it awesome several times. At the same time, its a rather privileged battle to fight.

It take a lot of effort to look like a normal/chubby woman.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard things like, My mom is insisting on inviting my aunt that I don't know very well, she's taking over my wedding! and then you find out that mom's paying for the whole thing. Shut up, say thank you, and invite your aunt. For fifteen grand your mom could've insisted on picking…

15. Don't take money from anyone for the wedding if you don't want them to have a say in the proceedings.
