Because wanting to pay less is soooo declasse, amirite?

I'm sorry; they're all from what now?
Stay classy, Catoleena.
Stay classy.

Ahahahahahaha! Thank you for the laugh.

I didn't insult her physical appearance. That was the o.p. That is why I was asking whether you'd be ok with the argument if the focus was somewhat altered.

She is not a part of an abstract discussion on weight; she puts herself at the center of the discussion, so it is allowable to discuss her appearance.

There are medical guidelines for healthy weight. If she is presenting herself as an ideal, as the 'skinny girl', she is accountable for anyone who follows her example…

That's an interesting point. What if they just said that she is an unhealthy weight, and by using her public platform to present her size as one all should aspire to, she is harming girls and women of all ages by contributing to damaging ideas about body image. Would that be more acceptable, or would it still be…

It was an interesting choice on her part.

I'm not sure where allowed comes in. I feel like chosenmay be a better word. She has chosen her public image, which revolves around her body size.

Nope. She puts herself on the cover of a book called Naturally Thin, in which she discusses how she stays so thin. She is the head of a company called Skinny Girl. She is basically a walking testimonial for a number of projects related to body size.

I feel like the difference between the two groups is motivation. To both groups, RAPE is something that bad people do. The first group finds the idea of being grouped in with transgressors to be repellent. They want what they want, but they also want to delude themselves that no harm is done. If you don't use label it…

Avenge perceived slights, versus harming another individual solely for the sake of personal gratification? Same thing in your eyes, huh. Okie doke.

Carl is Cindy Sherman is Carl.

I started laughing happily upon reading the headline.

I've heard this about Braff...that he puts out those bro vibes. People were a lot quicker to hate on him when he was overexposed. Now he seems to be getting more of a pass, generally, I think.

Well. Considering that's the first/only mention of Hanukah I've seen on Gawker today...I just don't care if Braff was silly about it. (If I were going to take issue, it'd be with the Jewish people, Happy Hanukah. Christians don't feel the need to qualify their 'Happy Xmas' with 'to all you Christians out there' or to…

I couldn't read the whole thing. I was imagining how scared the poor pig must've been.

I'm sorry it makes you anxious, but...it is helpful for me to know that others feel that way. Thank you.

Sorry.

Shallow thinking and overly quick to judge others, IMHO.

I understand where I think you're coming from, but in this case, your ire feels misplaced. The author of this article does not at all cast aspersions on Beyonce's feminist cred, merely quoting, without evaluative comment, Joanna Robinson of Vanity Fair. In my comment, I indicate surprise, but express that while I'm…
