This? This here? This is what parenting feels like in its finest moments. Time slows, you hear some sort of indie guitar act in the back of your mind, and you become perfectly in tune with the joy and wonder your child is experiencing and it's better than if you were experiencing it first hand, because you are sharing…

I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that his parents goaded him into this. Not that kids need any extra help being obnoxious, but this whole situation just has a strong "his bigot parents thought they could have some fun at the girl's expense" vibe to it. What 5th grader would normally think he could get away…

"...a male student followed her into the girls' bathroom on multiple occasions, charging that if she had the right to be in there, so did he."

gotta love how the school decided to hold HER responsible for some troll boy acting a fool. -_-

But that all changed after a male student followed her into the girls' bathroom on multiple occasions, charging that if she had the right to be in there, so did he.

Still shaming. Your perspective on what is too skinny is subjective. And your critiquing of such women with thin bodies and ribs showing is antifeminist. Our bodies are our bodies and it is not for you to subjugate them to your views on beauty or acceptability in society whether that be fat or thin. I will concede…

since when is tyra dark-skinned? just because she's darker than a white person it doesn't mean she's dark-skinned. i'm actually dark-skinned because my skin's dark brown in color.

That's right, Japanese cuisine consists of kale, rainwater, and starvation.

You are aware that is possible to be thin and not starving right? And that asserting that being thin is the unnatural result of starvation/dieting/obsession with weight is the same thing as stating that being fat is the result of overeating/not caring about yourself?

We don't have to body shame naturally thin people either though.

Japanese people are normally more petite and slimmer than Westerners. Part of it is the traditional diet, and part is genetics. It's not like they're a nation of anorexics : |

I cannot agree more with your assertion that nobody should criticise another culture for having different norms. As a Chinese Singaporean who went to study in the US at 18 I had absolutely no idea why various people (girls actually) would be giving me the side-eye when I ate. Later when I found out that the twin facts…

I think I need an adult.

Asia has different beauty standards than the west, girls that would be considered normal here would be fat by Asian standards. I think it's good they're trying to promote acceptance of different body shapes and we shouldn't be criticizing them because they have different norms than us. Personally I think we go a…

People give Tyra so much hate, and I don't really understand it. She's a massively successful model who's managed to turn her career into something long-lasting, which is a rare feat. People seem to be upset that she's not humble enough (and that complaint usually has racist and sexist undertones) and that she's not a…

What a world we live in, where we feel compelled to thank a magazine for not being discriminatory.

Given that Jezebel includes many stories about the lack of women and/or women of color being represented in various arenas, I sincerely hope that people realize that Tyra's point is completely valid. Even though she is thin and tall she is still dark and curvy and that opened up what it meant to be a super model (yes…

Yeah, I agree. As much as I enjoyed seeing Shakira and Rihanna touching each other, there's no doubt this was constructed to please the male gaze, and it's sad.

I have to give Jared Padalecki at least some credit, though. It doesn't seem he has the same double standard most of society does. After all, when a poor black person on the South Side of Chicago overdoses on heroin, they had it coming and are called much worse than stupid. But when it's a white Academy Award winning…

Which is precisely why they shouldn't be used to express anything that requires a nuanced discussion.
