The hard right turn into racism is really the shit cherry on top of this shit sundae. It’s so hard out there for a white dude that they are literally *forced to date Asian women!* How is an Asian man supposed to trade down??? *Is* there even a type of female human lower than Asian?

Dude just stop. Only a whiny little boy can’t face the cold hard truth of our gender- we have a large, long, and statistically verified history of violence against women we’re attracted to. Women don’t. It’s us. Our problem. Sitting here thinking the stupid things you do is cowardly. A grown adult acknowledges the…

You’re being deliberately obtuse. It’s apparent that the quote is comparing the ways that men and women relate to each other, not that any man a woman meets is going to kill her. When guys go on first dates, their friends don’t tell them to text when they’re home safe, or advise that they go to a public place.

It doesn’t imply that, you’re an idiot if you think it does. Idiot idiot idiot. No need to act shocked though, you probably already knew that. Idiot.

During his confession, O’Kroley told the police “it was easy to kill” Nosal because “she had ruined my life.”

O’Kroley “wanted more,”

No for any number of reasons.

In her defense (and I actually just went and re-read her post) she never says *only* supermodels do this. She goes out of her way to ask that she not be misunderstood; she just wants to say that people are wrong when they think modeling is an easy, glamorous life.

Correct. Those are elimination diets.

It sounds fair to me. They need to take care of their rape problem first though.

I’m having a hard time seeing how that statistic could possibly be correct, although there is no doubt that many, many Brazilian women have suffered and died due to their country’s draconian abortion restrictions.

It’s remarkable. Doctors without Borders didn’t even need to publicly shame WHO for six straight months in order to get this to happen. Progress, I suppose.

The US median BMI for nineteen-year-old women is much lower though – 21.5. Closer to the underweight category than to the overweight category. BMI-overweightness isn’t even quite twice as common as BMI-underweightness among nineteen-year-old women.

agreed. I don’t even say ‘normal’ to my patients, it’s a bad word full of connotations. I usually use ‘uncommon’ or ‘unusual’ because ‘abnormal’ is awful.

Right? Why can’t famous people bitch about little annoyances as well?

I’d be mad if I paid for first class and got moved to coach too.

I wish there was an offshoot, somewhere in the Gawker suite of blogs, that we could all talk about people being terrible to food-service workers. I think it would be a pretty good idea if we had a place like that, I tell you what.

As the mother of two boys who eat everything, I can see her point though. When you're a mom, the majority of groceries you buy are in the category of "things the kids will eat." And kids can and do eat an incredible volume of food. As a fatass for whom the list of Foods That Will Not Add to the Problem is pretty…

The best part is that they’re bragging about food under 1 gram of sodium (they don’t even have it yet—they’re reformulating to have it).

Don’t patronize me. It has to be possible to discuss the merits of maintaining separate finances in a marriage without dismissing a different choice as suicidal stupidity.
