    But you also have to ask if it's really the airlines' responsibility to house and feed every single passenger for unknown # of days when delays & cancellations are due to weather related problems. They can't control that and that is a massive loss of revenue, for which we will all pay with higher fares. Now, if it

    No arguments KoalaMango, there needs to be a Plan B or equivalent that is effective for higher weight categories. I'm just not sure why it is so difficult... most medications work according to dosage and only need to be increased for higher weights, could it be that simple or is there information that I don't have?

    Good points Darla, I appreciate your explanation. I think there is certainly a balance that most women have to find, looking good without excessive grooming, etc. But the standards for how women should look are just so much higher and people grossly underestimate the time it takes to achieve mainsteam society's idea

    As I said to the other guy, you miss the point - of course there is a middle ground between no grooming and a magazine cover. But men like magazine covers and I challenge any guy to prove otherwise. Your idea of no make up is someone with concealer, foundation, powder, light mascara, and so on, not NO make up. Do

    You miss the point - of course there is a middle ground between no grooming and a magazine cover. But men like magazine covers and I challenge any guy to prove otherwise.

    Darla, I get what you're saying, but I guarantee you that men's reaction to women who have spent only as much time grooming as they do is not positive. They usually don't like it. To be considered an attractive woman in Western society demands much much more grooming than that and female face/body is seen much more

    Yes! The blond looks absolutely like a drag queen, and not even a pretty one.

    So true. My husband bitches endlessly about me taking too long to shower, primp, get dressed, get ready, etc. He makes a big deal of liking it better when I look 'natural.' So one day I did none of it. And I grabbed my keys and said "let's go..." His mouth was ajar at my greasy unbrushed hair, sweat pants, and

    Ha! I am just as insufferable. I had one super irritating FB friend who kept posting about putting the 'CHRIST back into Christmas' and I couldn't help but correct her on the actual origins of the holiday. She did not appreciate that and I was un-friended by several people after that. But when people say stupid

    Cannot even fathom how my logic is offensive (that it is not a big deal when Jezebel discusses a male body part, when most mainstream news sources continually obsess over naked women and female body parts). Grow up.

    Oh ouch. My language must have offended your delicate senses. Mumsy and her country club friends would be so ashamed of me right now.

    Yeah, because men NEVER obsess over or talk about boobs.

    Oh for chrissake, boobs and women's butts every-f-ing-where in mainstream media. Associated Press covered a best butt contest (women only of course) in Brazil a couple weeks ago. Also, try clicking on the Huffington Post (liberal "news" playground for jackasses) sometime and I challenge you to find a day when there

    Um sorry, but lots of "men's" sites talk about tit size and would have such an article or topic featured - do you live in a cave?

    My one last comment to you- I never said you were a misogynist in any form. I just asked why you are telling me to calm down, when I was clearly pretty calm. Don't put words in my mouth, I don't call men 'misogynists' unless they really earn it. This term is now thrown around everywhere and it's losing its meaning.

    We are not talking about victim blaming. And I'm not even necessarily talking about men and women here. I see married couples all the time where one is an overbearing jerk (of both genders) who orders around the other...we feel sorry for the downtrodden spouse, but you have to ask: why do people put up with other

    I do agree that there are exceptions, some women have big frames, are very muscular, etc. But I also know all research points to obesity being extremely stressing for one's body. I'm also 5 ft 7 in, average weight (140, give or take a lb or two), and as I raise 3 kids, I am even more aware now that food and eating

    Well truthfully, 165 lbs is pretty much overweight for most people, male or female, under 5 ft 9 or 10 in (with some exceptions of course). And since few women are above this height, it goes to show that the majority of women should be under 165 lbs. Let’s not kid ourselves, there is a problem – way to many American

    Sometimes you have to blame the people who enable the bullies & jerks. Some people will try to suck up as much power, money, and fame as you let them and there are certain women who contribute to their own oppression by consorting with human garbage like this.

    My point, which I made in my first comment, was that perhaps Jennifer Lawrence is a "girl's girl." To explain: I have always noticed that with either sex, there are some men who are better liked & respected by men, some women who are liked by women. Maybe she is one of those actors who is liked and admired by women
