She's a model ... she's supposed to look however the people paying her want her to look, you people make no sense.

Thank you for identifying who she is. Even though John Legend is mentioned in the article, it didn't identify him as her likely source of fame.

I can kind of empathize, if they hired her based on photos or something, or if she continually got other modeling jobs, I'm sure it was pretty jarring to be told she was too fat (when clearly she is not). I'm saying this under the presumption that this is maybe the only time she was told she was too fat for a job. She…

Does Chrissy Tiegan have any skills, aside from being married to John Legend? Because any issue with sizing totally aside, she's super pretty, but she really doesn't have the sharp features you need for modeling. She just seems kind of obnoxious.

The fashion industry is fucked. With that said, I can't bring myself to feel any sympathy for her because she chose to be part of this industry knowing exactly how fucked up they are. I don't know why she's talking shit about forever 21 specifically. It could have been anyone.

From the awfulness of the case in question to generalizations about progressive democracies and declaring things being horrific "beyond all understanding" is a leap.

It's not. There have protests around rape in India since the 1970's: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aruna_Sha…

You guys really need to read the story in full. It's even more horrible than you think. The village headman's daugther (yes, the she is the daughter of the man who ordered the rape said this:

Tribalism. That is the way I see it. Most of our common law is originally derived from customs-hardened-into-law through centuries. Customs which grew from and in small tribal communities, often warring with one another. Customs, which at one point were necessary for tribal survival. Customs which have transited into…

'least im not a rapist caveman shitbag.

It's not, the penalty for gang rape is death. It's just that nobody of enforces the laws because of lack of police force and corruption. Believe no laws and police force in any western nation all hell would break lose as well.

Someone needs to explain to me why rape is so culturally acceptable in India.

Almost every comment made on this post is somehow addressed or disproved by the original NYT article. Just read the goddamned thing.

It's not about time. It's about place and circumstance.

Revenge-rape is horrible always, but why the sister? It would have been slightly less crazy if they raped him instead of harming someone unrelated to the crime. Or just given him a regular punishment.

I wish these photos came with captions because I jut read the contact lens story which was accompanied by a stock photo of an eye and a contact lens and now there's this story accompanied by a photo of Indian people. Are these people from the same village, are they family members or is this just a stock photo of…

Sharia law is practiced in India, which has a sizable Muslim population. The point being made is that there is a huge push to stop sharia law, while at the same time ignoring the fact that some rural Hindu communities are engaging in equally appalling practices.

the comment above about "white women bashing Indian people" is lame (because Indian rapists are being bashed not Indian people)

No let's fucking not. That little girl was fucking RAPED, if you're gonna pretend there's no difference let me tell you the difference- horrific screaming torn bloody excruciating pain.

Fucking savages. That poor little girl. If that happened to my niece and I know who did it the police better get to them first.
