Where do people fall on the scientific claim that race is a socially constructed classification and does not really exist and that we should disregard it? Do you think that it would be beneficial to break down the barriers of race? I know many people feel pride or a closeness with being connected to a race or…

I've called myself a mutt as well because I'm a whole lot of (mostly white) cultures rolled into one. That being said, I would never call someone else a mutt because, like you said, it's EXTREMELY easy to be (rightfully) offended by that.
Westmark's use of the "but I'm friends with biracial people!" is exactly like…

That was fascinating - and sad. I've found myself in the hospital for respiratory issues and been told it's anxiety. In fact almost everything that's wrong with me is due to anxiety or depression, apparently. I always thought it was because I'm young, but reading that article and these comments makes me wonder if…

Same! I can find attractive qualities in almost anyone, and weight does not matter when it comes to finding other women attractive - but for me? Oh no no. I need makeup to the nines to go to the gas station and I am so damn MEAN to myself. It's exhausting.
I keep telling myself to treasure my body and take advantage…

Hi! I'm not sure if you still planned on messaging me, or if you already had, because I'm not sure how to check or send messages on the new Jezebel system. If you wouldn't mind helping me out in finding my messages, or if you would rather email or facebook me, please let me know. Thanks :)

Also, she should prancercise to this song. Someone make it happen.

Oh thank goodness someone else said it. I was scrolling the comments desperately hoping someone else had noticed it.

Apparently depending on where they were on Europe, he would be within the age of consent.
However, from a personal perspective, that's just too weird for me. I'm 25 and I couldn't even imagine being with a 15 year old. I can't even imagine being with an 18 year old. There is such a huge gap in maturity level in those…

But the toppings contain potassium benzoate. (That's bad)

Please do! As I said in an above comment, it is such a relief to talk to someone who understands.

You know what? I never thought about it before, but almost every time I saw this last doctor I had my fiance come along and "vouch" for me. Reiterating that there were days I couldn't move or times that I cried from pain, or exhaustion. I never put much thought into it, but I wonder if that had something to do with it?

I certainly have despised the medical community from time to time (probably more often than not).

I would argue with your assumption that skinny people see doctors less than overweight individuals.
I would also argue that there is a difference between promoting obesity and treating each patient like an individual and accepting that for many overweight people, they are healthy or at least that their health problems…

I was tested for Lyme about a year ago and supposedly tested negative. I was actually bit by a tick as a child and developed the trademark ring, which I mentioned to my doctor. Is there a high chance of a false-negative in that test? That was always one of my thoughts as well, since I have all the symptoms -…

I'm not posting this as a way to demean or diminish the anti-fat bias that doctors have, in the least. It's a real, serious issue that affects many and causes dangerous problems. I just want to post this here because it seems relevant and, tbh, I really want to rant right now. Sorry.
I've run across problems with…

Also, she is going to be so embarrassed in a few years. I want to see that reaction video.

I don't even want children, but there is there is something so wonderful and attractive about a man being a good dad. Even a corny rapping good dad.

Happy that CT made it not once, but twice in the small cities/metros. Once for Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk and once for New Haven-Milford. (Not that it helps me as I'm currently unemployed, but... a sincere yay for everyone else)
Although, even the best scores on this are pretty crap. 62.6 as the number one? I wish…

Same, I'm so glad I've been liberal with deleting people who offend/annoy me. Although even the worst asshole on my list would never post something like this, and that includes my ex who is a bit of an abusive misogynist in denial. Looking through those images were nerve wrecking, not to mention possibly triggering…

That's not just a bad intern, that's a crap personality. Not snapping at someone and barking out orders should be basic level advice on how to be a decent human being.
