As others have pointed out, this is a weird and bad take. I don’t eat meat for ethical reasons despite my former affinity for rare steaks.

Yeah, and stop calling it peanut “butter”! It should be “peanut margarine”!

“If you have the option of getting what you want in a way that better aligns with your ethics, ignore it! This is a reasonable and logical stance, somehow!”

I get what you’re saying, and I think there’s a pretty big difference between deliberately de-centering white women’s experiences and going out of your way to invalidate white women’s experiences. If I’m being really honest, it seems like the author has some really good and important things to say, and also seems to…

Yes, for sure. But see, here you are proving MY point, which is that there is a discussion worth having about racism/colorism and beauty standards when it comes to body hair, and that having that discussion doesn’t require going out of our way to explicitly tell white women that their issues with patriarchal beauty…

seriously the judges are awful. and every time robin thicke opens his mouth i want to strike him

I dunno. When we talk about sexual harassment that women have to put up with, for example, I feel like it’s pretty shitty to do it in a way that denigrates male victims of sexual harassment. Likewise, I feel like we should be able to have a conversation about how we unfairly exclude and erase WOC when it comes to…

The issue for me was using this to make her argument.

I’m sorry, what? Like, yes, white women not shaving their pits in January is not the most courageous thing in the world. Of course, women who are not white/cis/straight/able-bodied/educated/wealthy have it easier than those who are not.

I do wonder, now that it’s apparently a big hit, if next season will have bigger names.

Like how RuPaul’s Drag Race used to have to settle for Susan Powter as a the guest judge of the week.

Hey, Jenny McCarthy can dream, okay?

...it’s a diet. Like, literally, you are counting calories (points are substitutes for calories). That is a diet, a weight management diet to be specific.

I like weight watchers compared to most weight management programs, because it’s more evidence based and moderate than most.  But it’s still a diet.

That was basically the only reason the show piqued my interest. There is a 0.000001% chance that a Beyonce/Taylor Swift is going to go slumming it by appearing on this show, but there was a chance that maybe someonenear that level might’ve been dumb enough to agree to show up.

It feels like a show that would be aired at the Capital in Hunger Games.

Coming forward is much more favourable today then it was back when the first allegations surfaced. Still a train wreck, but still a 180 from ten years ago.

If you saw/heard of Dave Chapelle’s R. Kelly skit, you knew.

I’m calling bullshit...the Surviving R. Kelly people reached out to her as one of his past collaborators and she opted to not participate. She also could have released a statement before it aired. This is damage control pure and simple.

Just because Cory wasn’t abused doesn’t mean other weren’t. That is the “Well I knew him and he was always a nice guy” narrative. Totally meaningless. Just because you weren’t abused, doesn’t mean other weren’t.

Here’s my big trick: Each month, have one very specific goal. Then, have one weekend a month specifically set up to prepare you to meet that goal. Spend the rest of the month trying to make that thing a habit.

To be fair, some bosses are really shitty about people calling in sick. I once had a job when I was younger where my boss required a doctor’s note if you called in sick. So if you couldn’t afford to go to the doctor or just didn’t need to (like with most viral colds), you were screwed and just had to go in or lose…
