Please don't feel embarrassed by the weights you listed; they were your reality and this excellent piece is about your reality. You owe no apologies for sharing your battle and the weight/numbers that you experienced with and through it.

Hi, you're totally right, and I understand. After I wrote the article I felt embarrassed at the weights listed. I was trying to give what an online source listed as the upper of the "healthy" weight range for a woman who was a little under 5'2". Please know I never meant to offend anyone of any size, as I hope my…

sadly, if you've whittled yourself down to 85lbs. through anorexia, your perception is likely so warped that 145 is the upper end of what you imagine"normal" to be.

Since she had an eating disorder and was the child of someone with an eating disorder, she's probably even more likely to underestimate what's a "normal" range for weight. It's not like people don't do that all over the US, especially men; in my experience, men almost always under-guessed my weight by about 40-60lbs.

Eh. Maybe she's 4'11. It was a rhetorical point, I really don't think she was trying to define the upper bounds of acceptability universally.

Go Saudi women, keep up the fight!

RIP...I hope you're getting lots of laughs in heaven. Like these:

I disagree with this. My wife and I never would have done a pre-nup, because we don't even consider divorce an option. 'til death.

Oh well, now that she is Roma and poor, nobody cares, right? She is not the right kind of blonde angel.

I'm going to be one of those people and say that I have heard a lot of gossip about her. My friend's boyfriend worked on a couple of the big VS runway show things (I'm British, I don't know what they're actually called) and apparently the rumour about Miranda and J-Biebz is true, which made me want to vomit.

I.... I just don't get it. Maybe it's my feminist lack of humor, but who would make these? Who would wear these? What kind of people are they?

Really? A personal choice about what or what not to purchase is a better question than racism??

Not that I am anywhere near the vicinity of Barneys or even have the discretionary funds to shop there, but:

At first I thought I would never, but I heard a friend tell of when her husband held her hair and her hand when she miscarried in the toilet. Apparently this was an hours-long process and she was in agony, because it passed before she could take the pain pills. Since then, I think that's true love right there.

Did you read the article? Or just the byline?

I am, personally, not even remotely a fan of slapstick comedy. That said, it takes a truly special human being to compare mocking a rape victim to mocking someone who has slipped on a banana peel. You're making a straw-man argument - I said it's wrong to mock victims, and cited victims of rape, racism, and the…

So you're okay with rape jokes when they make a poignant remark on the terribleness of rape? Which is the point Lindy West has been making for months.

I swear to fucking god. She nailed it. The details are hers. But the omnipresence of the abuser - how it feels like a physical presence in the room - at work, in bed, on a date, at the market. I had this exact sensation just last Thursday and I'm so used to it, so attuned to it, it is just a part of my life. Years of…

Figure this will be needed:
