I guess better to have young women look up to pop and movie stars like Beyonce and Lena Dunham than Bell Hooks, Octavia Butler, and Betty Freidan but, hey, better than nothing, I suppose.

I save up my hate for people I know.

Mr. Bells comes from a large Mormon family. When we met his in-laws (some of whom are very important figures in the church), they asked "oh, do you live close by each other?"

Seriously. Being thin doesn't mean I have no problems finding jeans. It just means I get berated by everyone if I mention it. A few years ago, I got sick of wearing low-riders. I decided that I was too old to show off my buttcrack anymore. I decided to skip the juniors section and try the women's section and found…

Sounds like my parents, complete with the divorced scandalous single parent my mother was. My paternal grandmother thought she was "damaged goods" and didn't approve of her. In 1973. Why living together is even an issue now is beyond me.

If someone told you, "I hate my car," and you asked, "why?" and they said "I saw an ad for a Porsche Boxster and it looked SO FUCKIN' COOL to I got a ride down to the Porsche dealer, picked a color, and bought it. Then I drove it. And I hate it because its too low, too small, the cupholders suck, I can't even drive a…

The only thing that makes having a crummy MIL bearable is having a mother who will shut that shit down without missing a beat.

I'd like to shove this in my last semester psychology professor's face, who was all hoity toity about not cohabitating or having sex before marriage because of the "studies" (which she could never cite). I swear she got her PsyD. from a cracker jack box.

Banged this guy on the second date. We've been living together for more than 5 years. Only just now getting married. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I would rather have a down payment on a house than a wedding! That's what we're planning for, actually. Elope and buy a house. $4,000 for ring? $25,000 for a wedding? No thanks! Rather have a house.

I have to say, this headline sucks. Belive me, I have never once been cocky about my thinness. You know why? Because I was bullied, shamed, and mocked over my size just as much as any other human on this earth. You know why I wouldn't exercise or eat healthy as a child? I wanted to gain some weight so people would…

There was one just the other day, but I don't remember enough details to search for it. It was one of those hipsters that Jezebel hates because she's younger and landed the Jezebel writers' dream job. Anyway, she mentioned she doesn't eat much, so they've written at least two articles about her, relishing in that…

Yeah, you guys won't be laughing when you go to Target to try on this swimsuit and it makes part of your crotch disappear.

Why not just arrange clothes on medical skeletons?

How about armpit gaps? Are those finally happening?

That's what my gynecologist said to me.

THIS. I am SO done with this.

I am really sick and tired of Jezebel being pro-body diversity, except when something comes along that allows them to rip on skinny people. Why is it automatically ok to be judgmental just because someone is conventionally attractive? This drives me nuts.

S/O to all you naturally skinny people, this is a PSA: the next time you go out to eat and get in line and hear someone say "oh he/she must be anorexic", you get to hear, "oh he/she's just skinny fat". This is absolutely ridiculous. Its this article and more that has allowed strangers to comment on my weight my whole…

The period in my life I have gotten the most compliments for "looking healthy" was when I was drinking half a fifth of vodka a day. I've always been thin (too thin/unhealthy according to some people who aren't doctors and don't know me) but when I was drinking I bloated to an "acceptable" level. Never mind that I was…
