While I'm really, really happy for you that you have great self image and confidence, what is your point in bringing it up here? This all comes from my own baggage and likely you're just trying to help show reasons why you should be okay with your own size whatever it may be, but it can come off at best as

You get that your opinion of your body and self has very little to do with what your body actually looks like right? I don't know if you're a regular reader, but you can glean even from this article alone that Laura is a healthy woman who exercises and typically has a great attitude. Her body isn't telling her shit

These shorts are threatening the very FABRIC OF REALITY.

I totally do this. Why?? And move items into their correct size.

How about when you pick up or refold something in a store and hope an employee saw and will give you the *good customer* nod of approval?

"I don't normally brag about my supposed altruism, but today, I will. Today my generosity was finally rewarded with nice people. They've been bitches until now." - Kylie Jenner's first draft of that tweet.

oh absolutely. I'm old enough to remember that horrible piece-of-shit movie called "Endless Love" where the boy BURNS DOWN HER HOUSE and what does she, a reasonable female do? Gets with him!

How to react.

Yeah I was going to say—I don't think there is any culture in which people forcibly kiss strangers.

what's really telling - to me - is the reaction of the young ladies. They said "no", but *every one* of them apologized for saying no and almost all of them giggled as they said no.

Hahahahahha! I am a man & can physically overpower you in a blitz attack on a humorous whim while I'm hanging out with my best bro! Your consent & bodily autonomy means nothing to me!

Now let's see POC try this prank out. I bet we'd get a much different scene play out.

That was my first thought. There has got to be a lot of outtakes of women and girls freaking out.

I would love for the footage to get leaked by their cameraman of the girls reacting negatively. Because you know it happened, but they didn't show the girls who yelled a variance of "The fuck is wrong with you?" which is what I imagine my first reaction to be.

Ummm, no. Black people don't have the patent on being oppressed by The Man. If you think that: learn your history. Chinese Exclusion act. Orientalism. Internment camps and the treatment of Japanese Americans in WWII. Vincent Chen. Open your eyes and look the fuck around you and quit playing those damn

Anyone else find it funny that this was an educated white woman complaining about how educated white women keep complaining?

Somehow I'm not surprised that Hannah Rosin doesn't grasp the basics of intersectionality.

So, apparently, in some misty, Camelot-like reality long forgotten, poor women and women of color regularly had a "man around who would pay the bills and take care of them and make a life for them in which they could work less"?
