As with most things, women can't really win in the eating department. The way you feel is quite natural, b/c only skinny women can earn boner points by eating a lot in public. Really, the only acceptable thing to say about what someone is eating is "that looks delicious!" Any other sentiments should be kept to…

Congratulations, sweetheart. I, too, am very thin, and before I hit 30, I, too, could eat a horse without gaining a pound. Neither your existence nor mine invalidates the cultural trope that women are supposed to be effortlessly beautiful, including effortlessly skinny. Women who can do so gain social capital, and…
Yes, that is what I am referring to. FWIW, I am thin, and when I was younger, I could eat a horse and not gain weight. Back then, I bought into the "I'm thin and I can eat a horse" bragging, but now I know better.
How do you define mental illness? Do personality disorders count? I think you are splitting hairs (assuming that the shooter really does have Aspergers and that this isn't another armchair diagnosis)
That one thing is not mental illness. There is a profile of the public shooter which can include many things, and mental illness is one of the possibilities, but it is not present in every mass murderer. Guns appear in all school shootings, making them the common factor.
I never heard that term before, so I did a quick google to learn more. Heh, most of the hits were spooky halloween costumes! That's a cool term, though, I like it.
Those are high waisted shorts, not granny panties. That doesn't make 'em suddenly gorgeous, just pointing out what they are.
Why, I bet the ACOG never thought of that! You should call them and tell them immediately.

Making it OTC is not the same as forbidding women to see their doctors. Women would still be able to go see a doctor if they need to.
"Buying birth control over the counter is somewhat dangerous, since you really should consult a doctor first to decide what the best route for you is."
Wow, you are a jackass, aren't you?
That is completely ridiculous. Even if I assume the royal family wanted her out of the way, why only her and not the nurse who actually gave out info?
B/c she is anatomically correct, with her nipples in her armpits!
Oh, honey. Every woman you know made her barbies have kinky sex. They just didn't have digital cameras to record their perversions.
Neither do non-human mammals (apes only have them when they lactate, and they are not perky). So much wrong, and this is what you object to most?
No dong on the naked furry? I thought sexual fetish was the whole point of furries.
If human beings are so immune to media, why is advertising so effective? I'll tell you the answer - advertising is effective because we are highly susceptible to media. For a columnist who really wants to examine the current understanding of media effects, including specific media and content such as movies, tv,…
You know, instead of attacking an individual (Paltrow), we could discuss the societal theme of women who are embarrassed to eat a lot in public, and it's accompanying theme of (thin) women who brag about how much they eat. Two sides of the same coin, really.
Actually, feeling that violence is an acceptable solution to problems is a hallmark of mass murderers. Violent video games do show an association with feeling that violence is an appropriate solution to problems, but it's hard to draw that connection in any given individual. Anger can also be part of the profile of…
