The fact that so many of you aspire to look like emaciated cadavers in the name of fashion, is PATHETIC!

I would say that the pressure on girls and women to be uber- (and for most girls and women, impossibly) thin is actually a complex cultural phenomenon engineered by various companies in order to sell us more stuff,…

Considering how many people will use potatoes as their vegetable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I see your point.

I do agree with KABarrick's basic premise, however. French fries are not healthy!

To be fair, the average potato does have a good amount of potassium and Vitamin C...if the skin is kept on, which it usually isn't in school lunches.

I'm sorry that he was so awful to you. No one deserves to be treated like that by their spouse.

Thank you for encouraging your students to get the vaccine!

The CDC now recommends that both boys and girls get the Gardasil vaccine.

Did you do the Engima of Kirkwall sidequest? It provides a good explanation for why there are demons nearly everywhere in that city.

If you didn't do it: Numerous references are made to Kirkwall's weird, impractical layout throughout the lore. A merry (since this is Kirkwall, not for long) band of scholar-adventurers…

As a whole, feminists are not an oppressive group. Now, there are oppressive groups within feminism—for example, white feminists oppress feminists of color, cisgender feminists oppress trans and non-binary feminists—and I believe that it is important for people to use "white feminists", "cis feminists", and other such…

I believe that you are confusing me with the staff. I am a commenter on Jezebel largely because I feel that I've learned a lot from other commenters. Every once in a while one of the writers comes out with something good, but I've learned that, for most of them, you shouldn't get your hopes up. I and several other…

"R*tarded" is a slur. Please don't use it, especially in what (we would like to be) a safe space.

"R*tard" is a slur. Please don't use it.

As a generally-white and cis person, I've always found this quote helpful:

It could be a height thing. Men are generally taller than women, so they generally have longer legs, with which they generally cover more ground with fewer strides. Generally.

I'm definitely interested in the answer to your question. Also: Wouldn't this be made more difficult by our even-more-racist-than-now past that caused a lot of people to do their damnedest to pass as white, or, if that wasn't possible, as something "better" than whatever they actually were.

See: people with Native…

As another poster noted, campus police at UConn are the real police.

She says that she plans to visit Africa to teach English. For someone in her position, it is a huge and extremely embarrassing error; you do not monolithize the people(s) that you want to help. Either she doesn't care enough about them to learn very basic facts about their continent or actual country(/ies), or she's…

Considering that she called Africa a country, I really don't think this woman knows anything about Africa or African cultures.

I definitely get where you're coming from, but as a shelter volunteer it is extremely frustrating and sad to have 25-50 adult cats with no significant behavioral or health problems stuck in the shelter for months or years, and then to have shelter traffic double or triple when people hear you've got kittens. You…

Yeah. I mean, some people do find the impetus to clean up their acts in an unplanned pregnancy, but in my experience, for those who already have difficulty with starting/keeping healthy habits, emotional problems (including mental illness, seriously, wtf), career problems, etc., unplanned pregnancies just make…
