@bluebears: Are you trying to deny that makeup companies want to empower women? You've hurt Avon's feelings.

@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: She looks amazing in Jennifer's body. It almost made me consider exercising and cutting crap out of my diet to get a body like that. Almost.

@banana_grabber: Yes, I think that's a brilliant method, especially if you have very regular periods. I was on the pill for a year, and felt constantly nauseous. The worst part is the nausea made me worry that the pill might not be absorbed, and hence might not work, and I felt worse since I never knew whether I was…

@JanaNye: Me too, I tried two different pills for a year and I was constantly nauseous on both of them. It made me even more worried, because I wasn't sure they would be absorbed if I had an upset stomach. I really think birth control pills are bad for your health. The long term risks are not worth it in my opinion.

Hey, given the rumours I don't see why Brad Pitt can't be both.

@LikeChai: No, it doesn't. That's Britain's got talent. The X factor you can have groups or individual acts, and there isn't as much emphasis on having a perfect voice, so you get different kind of acts, as opposed to Pop Idol where they all sound the same.

@magicwaffle: Oh, that must have been so hurtful for you. Did you ever speak after that?

@magicwaffle: I have a mental image of an emo kid shouting 'you stole from my psyche' at the top of her voice in a crowded hallway, before storming off in a self righteous huff in front of a pile of baffled teachers and students. Please tell me this is how it went down!

I cannot wait for Marie Darrieussecq to countersue Laurens over this 'The Sunday Times said Laurens also unveiled a new book last week and her new work follows a novelist who accuses a fellow author of plagiarism, only to be dropped by her publisher.' Judge Judy could officiate in an awesome showdown of 'She said, She…

The Eve Ensler story is more interesting than donating shoes to help women, and I hope everyone on Jezebel reads it. She mentions the mineral rich resources of the Congo as the backdrop for the violence in the country. The violence is more orchestrated and widespread than a lot of people realise, and it's disgraceful…

@dc89: I think they would, but I'd say they would get a lot of flack. Mary Harney, Ireland's ex-tánaiste (it's akin to deputy prime minister) is very overweight, and in contrast to Dr Regina Benjamin looks extremely unhealthy, and she has had an extremely succesful political career. She has faced constant criticism…

@InCahoots: What right is this? Is it enshrined in the constitution? People only have the right to post on craigslist what craiglist allows. Craiglist should be monitor their adult section more carefully, given the likelihood of it being misused for illegal purposes. They are partly culpable in my opinion.

@phnuggle: Yes, but he went to the bother of breaking into her house. It's fairly extreme behaviour for a normal dude, especially given his victim must have been terrified out of her wits. Wouldn't a normal dude not pick up on this. It is possible however, that McDowell has an extremely low IQ, and this would have to…

@Grim Reaper of the Forest: I agree, it's incredibly irresponsible to allow postings like this to occur. There should be some accountability, when the posted advertisements could potentially involve criminal activities.

@Susan B.: He must have realised it wasn't consensual when he came face to face with a terrified woman, unless he is mentally impaired. A woman inviting a rape fantasy into her life will display very different emotions and behaviour than a woman whose house has been broken into and raped against her will.

@battleaxonista...is a humorless bitch: I know, but if you think about what actually happened, however horrible it is, he must have realised something was up, unless he is mentally impaired in some way. He raped someone, the poor woman must have been kicking and screaming, and terrified. How could anyone, when…

@curiousgeorgiana: I hope you're doing okay. I'm so sorry you went through that.

This is a very smart response, especially because it's so honest. I'm glad she stated that obesity was a problem, but placed it in the perspective of health and fitness. As a side note, it's terrible that female politicians are judged so harshly compared to their male peers. Remember those awful photos of Angela…

@paperconservation101: What a moron. In my building, all the women are really well dressed. I think it's funny that people have such a stereotypical view of scientists.

@Diziet_Sma: That bag isn't big enough to house those.
