But this article is about the racism. If you want to address the fat-shaming there's another article written here that addresses just that. So really, we can say fat-shaming aside, let's examine the racism, shall we.

I am ashamed and disguted by those comments and I didn't even make them.

Dude is exhibiting some major transference and is listing out perhaps all the traits his ex had and assigning them to all potential female "candidates". Ugh he is such a narcissistic, annoying, generalizing/stereotyping, sack of balls isn't he? I like how he tells women that their looks are not enough and you can't

Everything else aside, I wonder what it was about this community that made the yoga a necessity. As in you could only live there if you did yoga? Odd criteria methinks.

Just curious though women who are overweight due to health shouldn't they be categorized in a different category like health privilege or something like that. I think there should be a distinction made between people who are doing nothing to lose weight and those who are trying to and leading a healthy lifestyle but

I think people cheapen the term privilege by attaching it to weight. There is discrimination of course but it does not even touch the systemic & institutionalized discrimination people face for ascribed traits (race, sex, sexuality). Plus people never were treated as animals or sub-humans for their larger weight

I suppose I had politicians in the US who I have heard impede women's reproductive rights, yet are labelled feminists, in mind. So people like Sara Palin and Ann Coulter come to mind. Though to be frank I am not sure if they label themselves feminists or were labelled as such. If one is working to decrease women's

I noticed that myself. It's like in the greater population women are chided for being emotional while men are revered as logical and having reasoning abilities. Yet here when this dynamic presents itself and the males are more gut reactive and less logical it is presented positively. What I take away from this, if it

I would say the media plays a role, and men and women invested in making feminism seem like a tainted thing, and ignorant people not bothering to look up what feminism entails. Finally the women who label themselves feminists but are clearly not and give the movement a bad image. Some women seem to think having a

Well shoot I guess us lady folk are not thinkers or "thinky" types. I suppose I am not a real woman, according to this fool, unless I stop using my mind. And I so wished to impress his type with an attempt at emotional, goofy absent-mindedeness. Assuming they'd give me a chance >.> hmm

Are you being intentionally obtuse? Or have you really deluded yourself into believing that in this day and age racism is gone and now nobody uses he derogatory term redskin so it "doesn't mean anything." Keep on enjoying that white privilege.

LOL I'd learn to sew or make my own pants but I sew so slowly I'd probably go without pants for awhile ;) haaa

OMG THANK YOU for this! :) I was trying to convey this same thing on the facebook version! This site and you fellow commentors help me see I'm not going out of my damn mind or a sexist myself. xoxo

I agree with your last point. Men in Ancient Greece and Rome would have young boy lovers— they didn't have the homosexual identifiers/lables then— which was completely normal. People seem to think it's a modern phenomenon just because it has in recent history been given a label.

Perhaps. And RTW does suck! At my height (5'6) the pants that fit are mostly too long. I either have to get them hemmed or roll them up. Stupid giant lady leg pants! o_o

If someone managed to make a funny joke about stats I would be impressed personally cuz stats was hell and to have a laugh about it after it's done would be great. Yes it is so simple and many dudes STILL haven't figured it out compliment a woman for what she's worth as the looks will fade, but hopefully not the

wow what a piece of shit. So he did not reveal this true ugly side to him until a month in or you just didn't notice? I'm just curious if these types are upfront or take awhile to reveal their douchebaggery.

Trust me the males pretty much mostly say the same thing. What I find pointless in saying is those who say they like to have fun/a good time. ummm is there a subculture of people out there who despise having fun or are anti-fun whom I missed the memo about? That one's even worse in terms of generic and obvious af.

Does anyone else find it funny that there are a bunch of Galileos or jack of all trades on the site? If you read the what are you good at section most guys say something like anything I put my mind to or everything. Usually these are the "creative" types. I highly doubt if I asked them to explain quantum theory to me
