I think "healthier" was being used in a context similar to: "Give me a healthy portion of (insert delicious food here).' As in, give me a larger portion, as in, they are larger than most men who are traditionally seen as being sexy.

This is how health insurance works in the states. The ACA has reinforced that idea. That certain employers can now deny insurance coverage for medication to women who use it for serious health issues is just one piece of why this is so supremely awful.

I'm not only referring to the SCOTUS ruling today. More intense/superfluous restrictions on abortion clinics is a great example of women having fewer options to control their own lives. However, I do hold the belief that the reasoning for the SCOTUS ruling today specifically targets women and makes it harder for some…

I honestly had similar(and disturbing to me) thoughts this morning upon reading the SCOTUS ruling. The rational options for loads women to control their own lives are disappearing at a really fast pace in the US. WTF is going on??

You just sound so contrary! It's such a good comparison. You are upset that she's consuming energy that you claim is unnecessary, and I bet a dollar to a donut she will use it all since she's not holding onto much extra adipose tissue. Yet, if a marathoner chooses to use up that energy in other ways that seem more…

I didn't say you called her animal. I referred derogatorily to marathon runners as animals because if they didn't run their marathons, they wouldn't consume that extra food, and there could be fewer hungry people in the world. Because that's exactly how this all works. If she hadn't eaten that steak it would have…

Except if you run a marathon you are burning thousands of calories. Those calories don't come for free, you get them from food. If you didn't run that marathon you wouldn't have needed so much fuel, and maybe some starving children could have eaten. You animal.

There is no Africa Pavilion in Epcot.

Your post didn't make sense to me. That is all. Now that we've talked and there has been clarification it sounds like you were saying "don't let that asshole undermine what you just accomplished." I agree with you 150% on that sentiment.

if the toxic person was a spouse or friend everyone would support you but because it's your mom or dad, you are being unreasonable for not wanting to be emotionally and/or physically abused.

Uh, "patriarchy in her workout?" What the what? I'm saying that this idealized body type is patriarchal. How many men go to Curves for Women? How many men do the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred DVD's? What is a man's goal when working out vs. a woman's(in general)? Anytime a persons business model is based in "looking…

You said the last two paragraphs, in which she said she looked in a window and felt as if she didn't look great, but she was getting street harassed regardless. Though, I think many people realize street harassment is less about how the woman looks and more about the man feeling entitled.

So, you're saying she looked good because she had just worked out? You think it's unfair and dismissive of her to think she looks crappy after working out? Your comment makes no sense at all.

What has happened to the Little Jorsty Burbles we all knew and loved?

He does always look happy

But you could say that about any dog ever, you never snorgle an unknown dog. I own a wolf mix(I didn't intend to get a wolf mix, I was lied to about her breed). She's THE WORST if people come up unsolicited. People come up constantly though because she's fluffy and apparently that makes her not fall under normal dog…

Now you're just being a douche. Still refusing to look at the fact that privilege exists and that a new immigrant might just have some. Privileges like having 9 different spices in their house, or access to a store that sells spices in bulk, or the knowledge that comes with being raised in a household that cooks meals…

I know what SNAP is, I just didn't understand how/why you were talking about it. Also, I'm sorry but that link doesn't work. I'm simply arguing that feeding a family of 8 a healthy dinner for $10 with 10-20 minutes of prep. on a regular basis isn't possible in this country. I'm not talking about SNAP benefits and what…

And it cost under $1.50/serving? Because the price is really what's at issue here.

Faux-naiveté isn't what I was going for. I'm not naive, but I honestly didn't believe what you were saying so I was hoping you'd give me some hard info. about how you manage to cook dinner for 8 people at $10 total. I didn't even look at the service you were talking about before, I assumed it was free/ad based, but it…
