My wife and I danced to “You are so beautiful” by Joe Cocker. It’s always been one of my favorites, and it is short. We did first dances with my mom and her dad, but I honestly don’t remember what the songs were. I don’t think we picked anything special for those anyway (no “Sunrise, Sunset,” etc.).

Yeah, I'm a little tired of the sort of victim-blamey responses from feminists whenever women (particularly women who have any type of privilege, like wealth) criticize things like slut-shaming, body-shaming, victim-blaming, etc.

Damn. I have been with y’all for a long time, reading and loving your articles. And then every now and then you have to drop some mess like this to remind me we aren’t really on the same team.

I don’t think this is one of your better essays. It reads like you and your editors disagreed and no one backed down and each got their viewpoint included and it clouded up the whole thing.

And a hint of - if you’re a thin white pretty woman who has become famous in part for being a thin white pretty woman, you are part of the problem, and you aren’t really feeling shame for these tabloid picks, and your response is borne of your privilege, your blindness to your role in the creation of beauty standards,

I guess because it’s late Friday afternoon but this essay confuses me...what’s the thesis statement? That women who are body-shamed shouldn’t be “clapping back”?

If you are being abused you can call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), TDD 1-800-787-3224, for help in coming up with a safe plan and general support. Leaving is difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Kardashien?

May I submit “Kardashiani” for your consideration.

Has she thought of trying to get a job for one of the Kardashians?

Yeah, I have to say, speaking as an actual Persian here: I think DiCaprio is bizarre casting, and I kind of dread the whole idea of this movie, but I don’t really get all you people here insisting up and down that I’m not white. What “race” am I, please?

I’d encourage you to read the chapter in the Big Book of AA (available in its entirety for free online) titled “We Agnostics.”

Hallelujah this is some truth right here. This should be the response to everyone who pops up in the comment sections to preach against AA. It’s free, (unlike rehab), accessible, and there are folks there whose life used to look like how yours looks now, or conversely, their lives look like what you want your life to

Wow, that’s quite a spoiler in the headline.

Posting a spoiler in the headline. What the serious fuck?

Nice spoiler there friend.

You put the spoile ri nthe fucking title? Seriously? Has it ocurred to you that more folks that usual will not have seen it alst night due to holiday travel and you put a spoiler i nthe title and cross post it on other Gawker sites? What the fuck?

Could you maybe not have put the huge spoiler in the title?

Oh c’mon, why is there a spoiler in the friggin’ title of the article? This is ridiculous.

I love Jezebel. I’ve read it just about every single day since I was 17 (I'm 22 now). I’ve hardly ever commented, but I’m just saying I’m not some rando. Very disappointed that there was a spoiler in the title of this post. I know that a lot of people talk about how we shouldn’t be so worried about having things
