Gah. Even if FLOTUS fit the description of what he's trying to argue, it doesn't matter. Healthy doesn't look a certain way. There is no cookie cutter version of healthy and eating a great diet. There was even a study done on soldiers who died in WWII who were in their early twenties, VERY physically fit— looked like…

Seriously, though. I don't understand the logic of, "We want to make sure you have all the babies, but then we don't care nor want to support you after you've had them."

huge hugs, Isha. You are delightful and talented and deserve only goodness. I'm so sorry you have to deal with such drivel.

Sad and Useless (which is both a website and my mother's pet name for me)

It's a fair one, though, regardless of Whoopi's own experiences. How can you say a decision is easy when you've never been in a position to make it? I wonder if they would have reacted the same way if another host had asked the same question.

Involving Beyonce, not involving Beyonce, I don't even care— can we STOP with the idea that if a man cheats, it's because his wife wasn't treating him well? Even if what this gal is saying is true, Jay-Z's choices are HIS OWN, regardless of if Beyonce was the perfect wife/person/whatever. This gal needs a shoe chucked…

I think the battle of shame needs to go both ways. There are people who value abstinence until marriage. Okay. That's fine. There are reasons why that's beneficial (as there are reasons why people choose not to abstain prior to marriage). Shaming either decision creates a division that causes people to be defensive on…

And I'm that parent whose four year old son will say, totally nonchalantly, "Mommy doesn't have a penis. Mommy has a guh-jina."

She can do whatever she wants. She can walk up to my front door dangling a bedazzled vagina and tell my sons to jump on it. It's still my responsibility as a mom to teach them and their responsibility as humans to not objectify another person. They are still responsible for their own choices.

First of all, it's adorable that you expect me to base all of my opinions on what a website tells me it should be. Second, yes, men DO have the ability to think for themselves and have autonomy and control over their thoughts. The problem comes from the assumption, as was made in the original question, that they are…

The assumption is that boys will already be conditioned to sexualize young girls, and it's Nicki Minaj's responsibility (as is the responsibility of all females) to make sure we don't dress in such a way to put icky, sexual thoughts in the minds of the males around us. Because they can't control themselves. Because…

I think the flaw in your logic here is what is called a "false dichotomy." It isn't either/or. But thanks for playing!

How will boys, already conditioned to sexualize girls at a young age, internalize this big booty of yours?

Agreed. I also don't watch the show, but from what was written here, he is communicating that the reason he had sex with her was because he was under the impression, from things she had said and done, that there was an implied future to their relationship. It feels like a slippery slope to coercion, and I think this…

Gandhi may have some feelings about this sentiment.

There's already the issue though that all mannequins look the same, with the same slender body type, and when we see clothing on the same body type everywhere, it is easy to internalize that THIS is what bodies are supposed to look like. CLOTHES are supposed to look like this on you, or there's something wrong with…

I think the issue here comes with the interpretation of the meaning "standard." It isn't an impossible standard when applied to the individuals who have the genetic makeup to actually meet the standard. But for others (the majority of others), looking like a very specific type (regardless of the type) and making it…

I'm totally rooting for your knee to suddenly jerk up with a shocked, "Oh, goodness! I've no idea how that happened!"

I cannot star this enough. I seriously haven't had a relationship with my in-laws for over a year because (well, other things, but mostly) I tried to explain to my MIL that I wasn't comfortable hugging, and it really bothered me that I had communicated such and they still insisted on hugging. "That isn't fair," she…
