I feel like, there is something I'm not understanding- as a feminist I am having difficulty understanding how this is progressive or subversive. Because I feel like this is very objectifying.

If that was the case, then why would my thinner friends not get nearly the attention that I did? And it certainly was not limited to Western women; the African women getting all of the attention in the clubs were significantly larger than what would be considered attractive in the States. In fact, the only times I…

You realize that this isn't an image of beauty, right? It's a painting of Bacchus—an image of unhealthy indulgence and debauchery. It's not meant to be flattering. The Hermitage's description alone offers some insight, characterizing the figure as "grossly obese."

I get that body shaming isn't effective in promoting…

............................I thought the thing was solid. I'm going to go read a book and pretend I'm not a fucking moron.

I was check to see if anyone else had caught that. WHY IS SOMEONE ON THE ARM?!?

Nice phallic symbol.

I guess I just don't see why she shouldn't be photographed nude even if she isn't beautiful. Isn't everyone allowed to be naked if they want? Nobody is forcing people to look.

I'm a chubby to fat woman, and the three years I spend in West Africa opened my eyes to the cultural differences of beauty. In the US I dated some, but would say that despite being quite pretty, my options were limited due to my body size. In West Africa, on the other hand, I was treated like a goddess everywhere I…

How would one "suck in" her thighs?

Did you read the "rarely partakes" part of my comment or my addendum to this comment? I clarified that she rarely drinks and never to the point of drunkeness. Please note I was saying this was troubling (even if that is not clear it's what I meant) and that it may have NOTHING to do with anyone. My sister called me…

No. That's not at all what I said, but hey, jump the fuck all over me.

A lot of hateration in these comments to you. I get you and your sister since my relationship with my older brother - we're super close - is a lot like yours. He is a wonderful person who can be prone to violence if he drinks too much - what am I supposed to do, stop loving him?

I don't care about her age, I just wish she'd find something new to do. The LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME I'M WILD AND SEXUAL is kinda tired after it's 30 year run.

its because doctors play god and because they worry about themselves more than the patients. they worry about getting sued and their reps. they take the Hippocratic oath and then immediately shit all over it. that ohdontgetmewrong jackass is whining about how 'giving drugs out' will affect him despite what hed like…

One problem: Endometriosis has actual pathology that can be documented. They do have to go inside and get a piece of whatever the Dr. thinks is endo then the pathologist looks at it and says whether it contains endometrial cells or not.

I believe that is what he said when he got called out. What he said on the air was "Everything you mentioned, everything you mentioned, are things that actually aren't discernibly pathological." Endo is absolutely discernibly pathological. And to my understanding it's only "hard to diagnosis" in the sense that it's…

While I understand what you are trying to explain, it doesn't make that language acceptable no matter how much a doctor works with real people and real problems. In my profession (teaching) which is held in far less esteem than your wife's profession, we also have dismissive and pejorative phrases for our clients. …

It's just an amazing coincidence that so many diseases/conditions that doctors label "garbage can diagnoses" are virtually always found more often in women.

In mine, which was four years before that, I don't think we would even have used the phrase "lap dance" within hearing of most of the teachers, let alone suggested one.

If a middle schooler suggested thatI give someone lap dance, I'd probably I'd probably go to jail as well. For punching him in the throat.
