Wow, that's so fucked up. I can't imagine anyone barking at people or throwing things at them around here. Good for you for persevering in spite of such a ridiculous level of harassment.

I'm looking over the statistics in the report and I'm confused. The figure for "rape" is 19.3%, while "completed forced penetration" is 11.5%, "attempted forced penetration" is 6.4% and "completed alcohol- or drug-facilitated penetration" is 9.3%.

Here's a table showing obesity rates (with a constant BMI > 30 taken to represent obesity) from 1960 to 2002:http://epirev.oxfordjournals.org/content/29/1/6…There's clearly a huge increase.

Amazing how the comments that make the most sense are still in the greys... Welcome to Jezebel.

Oh, that's "personal information" apparently, lol! Of course, it makes a difference, though, even in the anecdotal case of this one person (which isn't a valid argument to begin with). I'm asking, too, and I can't see my comments even in the greys - must be a glitch in the system, haha!

If you're going to post anecdotal information, which doesn't mean a whole lot anyway, but then you want to stop short of telling us her age, then you really don't have a point. If your friend is a postmenopausal woman in her 50s or 60s, then those are good numbers. But they still don't tell us anything about the…

Conspiracy theory?

I just don't understand all the obesity denial - all you have to do is look around and then look at old…

How old is your friend?

Isn't "attempted forced penetration" the same thing as "attempted…

I just found her unlikable and clueless throughout the entire interview - starting with the roofie comment, then on through the stupid rape joke. Her wish that a little girl she once knew ended up in jail because, boohoo, it's all her fault that she needed to be home-schooled was also cringe-worthy.

Am I the only one who thinks that 2 boxes of chocolate plus a Toblerone is just way too much snack food to give a young girl for one movie?

It's OK - I've said things I regret, too. And I appreciate the apology very much. :)

"No offense to the skinny girls... the girls in a Victoria's Secret advertisement. Those girls look like aliens!"
Well, since you didn't mean any offense, I think this is perfectly fine.

Her measurements are 38 - 34 - 45: http://www.milkmanagement.co.uk/details.aspx?n… So, for pants, she would be about a size 14 to 18: http://www.lanebryant.com/content.jsp?pa… (although more like a size 12 on top). So, yes, she's at the smaller end of plus size.

I enjoyed the article, but this is incorrect: "...where he earns a dollar for every 77 cents a woman with the same job would get."

Women don't earn 77 cents for every dollar a man gets for the same job. Women, on average, work fewer hours and in lower-paid jobs. So the average earnings for a woman were 77% of the…

Agreed - totally insensitive. Not to mention that it isn't even a cancer treatment at all. So it isn't even sensationalist - it's just plain wrong.

"Common Cancer Treatment Might Actually Spread Cancer. Oops."

"... one in 368 women who received morcellation were at serious risk for having their cancer spread rather than eliminated."

No, you got the article all wrong. Morcellation, according to the article is not a cancer treatment, common or otherwise. It is a way…

The jury's out on the health effects of carrageenan,which is extracted from red seaweed. But hydrogenated oils are definitely bad. I wouldn't stay away from these things because they don't completely melt; I'd say away from them because of the hydrogenated oils.
