Being pregnant and gaining too much weight while pregnant (as I did, endangering my own health and that of my baby...borderline pre-eclampsia) aren't the same thing. How I wish I'd not eaten all of those heavily processed, toxic foods while I was pregnant. What I did to my body was totally disfiguring. But I only…

Medical consensus is that a healthy pregnancy weight gain is 25-35 pounds. I can certainly see why a woman who is as short and slight as Salma would feel "disfigured" buy gaining almost 50% of her baseline body weight in less than a year. I know plenty of pregnant women, myself included, who gained far less than that…

The recommendation for pregnant women is 20lbs or less. She was 30 lbs over the stated guidelines.

Uh, duuuuuude, considering everything she ACTually said in her statement was about loving her body and learning about it and appreciating it, I feel like you threw a headline on this without considering the true context. A woman has a right to feel a tad out of sorts during a pregnancy, when your body quickly changes…

Where in my comment did I say that the pregnancy was something to be fixed?

Jezebel should first find out what she meant before posting an article with such a dramatic headline.

Since we refer to the shape of a body, especially a woman's body, as her "figure," I can see how she might make the error of referring to the undoing of that figure as being "disfigured." I've been around enough English-as-a-second-language folks to appreciate the unique & creative ways they manage to misuse words &…

Also, she's speaking about herself. She's entitled to her feelings about her own body. I don't think she deserves judgement for that.

Am I just being dim this morning or is this really not that bad? She does say it was for a really good reason and was ultimately a positive experience, but being pregnant can do a weird number on your body (my aunt told me her wrists swelled up in her third pregnancy, which she hadn't even thought would be possible)…

Most people I know would consider a 50 pounds weight gain a "disfigurement", even though it's not the appropriate medical term, or at least something that needs to be fixed. I know a lot of writers on this website do their best to pretend obesity isn't a problem but seriously, when did we go from "people deserve…

Why does Jezebel allow this nonsense on here? How is this clever or funny? How is this informative, or interesting? Lindy West seems to think this website is her own personal blog where she can just post whatever ridiculousness that pops into her head. She takes a story, and tries to find the fastest way to make it…

Girl I love you but no.

It takes a really special kind of person to read an article about a man who was humiliated and called horrible slurs simply for trying to do his job and come away thinking that the people who want to shame the people responsible are the malicious ones.

I hope to God somebody publishes names, so a bunch of rich white legacy shitheads can never again apply for a job without the prospective employer Googling their names and getting hits involving the phrase "faggot nigger."

Are you shitting me? What is the point of this Oppression Olympics bullshit? You can't even have sympathy for men without reminding people that women have it worse? So the fuck what? No, really, by this logic, Jezebel is the whiniest damn thing in the world and anyone who isn't a trans woman of color who's been…

Hooo boy, hold on to your asses...

Does anyone remember the show "Starting Over" that Iyanla was on? It used to run in the afternoons and there was this one woman that had food issues and said, "This damn cupcake is running my life!"

Being "anti abortion" shouldn't automatically mean that you're against keeping abortion legal. I think this guy is alright.

Does Chloe Sevigny not realize that there are dozens of us? DOZENS?!?!
