"I would probably do it if he would let me (doubtful, though—my current boyfriend takes a way more hardline feminist stance on this than I do)."

ARGHH! Feminism is in no way "exclusionary!" Only individual feminists are. It's this kind of crap that creates divisiveness.

The major difference in the two types of gut bacteria are that the predominant ones in fat people extract more calories from the same food than the skinny ones. In other words, a salad may be 200 calories for a skinny person, and 230 for a fat one. But scientists don't know what that difference in calorie absorption…

And Flash Gordon was there...

Who needs structure? I mean, it's not like women have hips or waists or anything.

Finally! A designer is actually trying to pawn off on thinner people the horrific prints in awful color combinations that they usually save for us plus size gals!

His cat may only have a Bachelor's degree on "Tossing kitty litter all over the damn place," but mine has earned her Master's in "scratching any damn thing on the floor into the litter box!"

I had a cousin who once upon a time was asked to do a fashion shoot in Bimini, modeling barely-there bikinis. When her father, a doctor, saw the pictures, his only response was "She must have shaved a lot."
