All of these little campaigns are so damaging and misguided, it makes my skin crawl. They only embarrass certain groups. It will be a great day when women stop being obsessed with body image, approval and beauty, I'll tell you that. I don't care how many "I love my curves~" songs come out, or "I'm beautiful no matter…

My take away from this excerpt was, "Fuck this Corinne" person. She sounds petty and manipulative and mean. The whole making Kate cry and get upset for better pictures? What the hell?

Even though I was a very chubby teen, I related to Kate and the overall grunge look because it wasn't (at least to me) about being "hot" or striking. I was a plain girl without much makeup or hairstyling talent, so the whole disheveled thing had it's charms for me. Living in a rural suburb, grunge seemed to drag on…

Thanks for making me smile with your comment. I found this quote unbearably sad, but you've cheered me right up!

With safe search off there is. :]

From the excerpt on Elle's website:

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use…

emma watson's speech was perfect BECAUSE of its simplicity. i thought it was so eloquent and exactly what a lot of people needed to hear—including myself, because it re-instilled my faith in the women of my generation

Exactly. But I would go a step further and say that until people at large (not just celebs) understand what feminism means, Feminism 101 is definitely in order. You can't really bring new things to the table when most people can't even see the damn table to begin with!

To all of the people who were putting Emma Watson down yesterday for not bringing anything new to the table regarding feminism or for just giving basic "Feminism 101" in her speech -

...can I still enjoy this version?

I hope this gets popular. I have an etsy shop where I only sell three-breasted bikini tops and so far business has been really slow.

This article is not complete without this image.

"I clearly remember making a joke when the girl said, 'What would you like.' I kiddingly said, 'I would like you to go with nothing on it.' "

Good for her and her employers!

RIP Pamela :-(

Major props to both the victims for defending themselves, and to the bystanders who got actively involved in chasing off this asshole. A normal attacker can be scary enough, but when he's a 250 lb, 6'4 beast that takes some serious courage.

Hopefully the police catch this bastard.

The BMI was an equation that some mathematician (not nutritionist or doctor) came up with 200 years ago and screwed around with it until he got it to fit the population he was examining. Which is not even good science or good math - much less anything even coming close to being good health metric. The guy that…

Let's reverse the situation. You're a work and your new co-worker is very big ex-con. He's much bigger than you actually. In fact, he could easily overpower you. He makes jokes all the time about prison rape. He even tells you that he could easily jump you in the back room and rape you. You're a guy right.. so no big…

yepppp. I have a friend who wears a 44C and she's pretty obviously a 30 or 32" band and maybe an F or G cup. I mean, she's 5' tall or so and I'm 6'1 and comfortably in a 36" (I measure 37" around my ribcage), there is NO WAY her teeny ribcage is bigger than mine. She refuses to let me fit her because she's afraid…
