I wish she would have worn pants and a button down top (with blazer!) in the "confident" photo. It would have driven home the point of wearing good fitting clothing.

I am 5'3" and constantly mistaken for a teenager, but there is no way I'm prying flats off my feet. Heels fucking hurt, man.

As a man I plan on wearing a feminine top, tailored skirt, and leg-lengthening heels. If I don't get a job then I'm suing UC Irvine.

In 2002 I went though my Missouri high school's sex education program. We were told explicity that condoms don't work (for contraception OR STDs). They told us that if you had sex with a condom every day for a month you had like an 80% chance of getting pregnant. Seriously. So it makes sense that people who have had…

Ok, look guys...

This site, generally, could use some highly skilled editors both for its staff writers and its guests. Potent and powerful ideas are getting obscured by spelling and punctuation errors making important articles too hard to get through and comprehend.

I feel like within the context of intentional baby-making, you hear about fertility struggles (as is right and proper—it's not an uncommon issue and a lot of men and women find support in talking about it openly), but not SO much the "Yeah, we tried once/twice/three times and I got knocked up." (Probably because it…

i'd be interested in seeing a breakdown by state. does this "magical thinking" persist to a greater degree in regions without comprehensive sex education, or is there a larger cognitive dissonance at play (women knowing the facts but believing they don't apply personally).

I totally support discussing racism. And any other issue that hurts people. What upsets me is to see a relatively harmless, unimportant issue flogged to death. This is what I'd expect from some tabloid, not from Jezebel. It is lazy. It hurts people who are being harmed right now by real racists and who are not…

Luckily, Black people do not share a hive mind, and we are allowed to have differing opinions on things. I can be offended by something that some other Black person has no problem with, and that's o.k.

Fuck this. Next time someone wants to blackface, they should just cut off their legs and go as 3/5 of a man. Then I would be happy to accept their racist apology afterwards.

Have to agree with you there.

The exact same way as a black person would dress as a character, who happens to be white, but without painting their face white. Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?

EXACTLY! everyone would have known who she was sans blackface. on top of that, people of color dress up as white characters from films/tv/plays etc all the time without the need to whiten up. if you have to paint your face, you prob need to rethink how good of a job you did on the rest of the costume!

Yup. I'm black and proud and all that, but I'm not seeing the need for "rage convulsions" every time a stupid celebrity does something stupid and then apologizes for being stupid. I can fully believe this person had no clue about the history of blackface, smeared herself with orange bronzer in an attempt to darken her…

Her apology seems sincere to me. There's no "I'm sorry if you were offended" or "Can't you all just take a joke" in sight. She screwed up, but she acknowledged the truth of people's criticism and said sorry. I'm willing to accept that and move on.

If that poll doesn't tell you everything you need to know about Esquire's audience, I don't know what would.

So Rolling Stone has always been the sexist piece of shit I naively thought it turned into in the late nineties.

What's a little surprising is that, while you make a valid point, those photos still look tame now.

I sort of feel as though someone who looks like Katy Perry objecting to other people taking their clothes off for attention is somewhat along the lines of Shaquille O'Neal objecting to people using footstools to change a lightbulb.
