Sorry, that's my mistake! I DO know that, but apparently I suffered a tabloid-induced brainfart and wrote country instead of city. Blarg!

This is a great piece, and one that should shed light on how much importance we put on being able to squeeze people into categories before we even know them. I wrote a similar piece on my blog, Chicaandthecity.com [http://ow.ly/e8ivP], entitled "Stop [B]othering Me". It's about how I am annoyed with how people insist

"Plus, I wasn't HAPPIER thinner, I was just thinner." I found myself mystified by this feeling, myself. I guess I figured that when I lost weight everything would magically get better and I'd be happier. However—as you've mentioned—I soon found out that I had been a lot more carefree when I was heavier. Much like

Nope. Unfortunately this has happened at at least two schools. SMH

Next, guys will start stabbing "Will you marry me?" into their loved ones' torsos. "Babe, will you join me in HOLEY matrimony?" barumch

Oh my jeebus! This reminds me of when a girl at my liberal arts college asked that she (and other students whose families paid full-tuition out of pocket) be allowed first dibs on housing, because the lottery system in place made it so that scholarship students had a chance to pick larger and better rooms before the

I have and do. But it seems that not enough people do to warrant the kinds of contracts and endorsements the male athletes receive.

Can't we just have the established athletes remove clothing? They get paid enough, and the leagues will be saving mula on uniforms.

You're right, no one is "demanding" that women be half nude to play sports, but there certainly seems to be more of a demand for sporting events in which women are wearing skimpy outfits, more so than events in which women are fully clothed. I understand that it is more appealing and novel to watch women in varying

I am absolutely grateful for this project! I've been on both sides of this subject: as a person who lost 50lbs and as someone who trains others to lose weight. It wasn't until I lost most of the weight that I developed this sort of body dismorphia and discontentment with my body. The sagging, the stretch marks, the

Dribble and drool. Ugh, this is just so stupid. You know, women are also capable of playing just as well with supportive athletic garments and jerseys! You know, kind of like the men do? But that won't happen, so in that case, I demand that male athletes play sans tops, and slathered in Hawaiian Trop. SPF-2. I DEMAND

This makes me want a Baps meets Breaking Bad kind of show! Breaking Baps! OMG, let's do this!

Myself, my brother and all four of my cousins were born in June/July, so EWWWW, you guys! Autumn apparently has my family in freaky-deaky heat! On another, not really related-but-sorta-related note, all four of my grandmother's children were born in November, meaning she was like "Fuck all that fall nonsense, I's gets

So wait, I'm soooo confused. I need to spray tan my body, bleach my hoohaa, and gradually lighten my hair from root to tip for an Ombre effect in order to be effing attractive? C'mon, world! At this rate I'll look like a friggin' optical illusion and a man will get dizzy from the array of colors splashed across my

Ya know, Bowlmor, you're totally right. When two weekends ago (and then again one weekend ago) I walked home after dark and two separate groups of men threatened to sexually attack me, all I could think was, "Wow, this isn't going to be as fun as bowling!" Also, I recall being 12 years old and walking through a

Meh. Gangs with both male and female members usually rape female pledges as initiation, so, yeah, maybe.

I honestly think that we need to stop labeling clothing "plus size" and just make clothing of all sizes available at all retail outlets. Seriously, why do the sizes need to be segregated? There is no real purpose for that, other than to "other" people who fit into a size 12 or higher. Make the effing clothes in

I'd rather they grab for my face than my ass! Is there any way to touch a brain? Because I'd prefer that too!

You guys, I think that when we cast that gender wage-gap shrinkage spell at the last Feminazis bra-burning potluck we might have added too much eye of newt, causing an accidental shrinkage the penis-size to clit-size gap! How embarrassing! I'll check the spell book and we can totally reverse that little problem at

I have a mental image of him moonwalking in front of a Planned Parenthood. Also, abortion papers? Is this his version of Usher's "Papers", but it's like you're divorcing a zygote or fetus? So many questions, and so little attention span to figure it out!
