The fact still remains that this company- the Gap or whoever owns the limited- has a policy that women's arms should be elongated and their triceps thinned out, which is not necessary to show what the clothes look like, especially since most of the people wearing them will not have super long slender arms. I don't…

Also, why is it automatically assumed that being represented as poor is SO AWFUL? Yes, it sucks to BE poor, but it's not like poor = stupid or assholes or trashy. Seems like the author of the Salon post doesn't think too highly of poor people since she seems to think it's insulting to be portrayed that way.

It is not true actually. Paranoid schizophrenics are usually a danger to themselves, not others. The incidence of violence amongst people with any type of schizophrenia is actually lower than it is in the "normal" population. The problem is that when schizophrenics do get violent, they are a big danger because they…

But Lily Allen isn't talking about high school mean girls; she's talking about being jealous of every attractive woman she sees, and needing men to confirm that other women are gross in order to feel good about herself. She's putting down skinny women in order to boost her own ego. In the same breath that she's…

I agree. The Angie in the books is awesome, and the Angie in the movie was just boring. I thought the movie was overall a good adaptation but was very disappointed in how underwritten that character was.

I am sorry too- tone is very hard to read sometimes in comments!

I so agree with you! Just last week I was breaking out worse than I ever did as a teenager (and I am also thirty [mumblemumble] years old) thanks to my period. I find my period disgusting and unpleasant, and it's not because I'm ashamed of being a woman or because I have been socialized to think it's gross. I just…

Well, one thing we can agree on is that snow is nice, so you do the same. And sorry you lost your kitty; mine is here with me for which I am grateful.

Good lord. I'm not offended. I'm just disagreeing with you. I don't think your comments are "innocent" as you claim, especially given how you're reacting to being disagreed with. Look, you're a special little snowflake, the only one brave enough to admit she loves the snow- a true contrarian rebel. Other people are…

Um...I'm not excited...just pointing out that sometimes people have to live in places that aren't ideal for them weather-wise b/c of other circumstances. Maybe you should take it easy...if it makes Erin Gloria Ryan and others feel better to vent about the weather, good for them. Just don't read it if it bothers you so…

Why would you have an "issue" with strangers based on where they live? People have all kinds of reasons for living where they do, reasons you know nothing about. Jobs, families, finances...it's not always so simple as, ME HATE COLD, ME MOVE NOW.

No shit- this is getting less and less "let's support sexual abuse survivors" and more and more just LOOK AT HOW WEIRD AND LURID AND FUCKED UP ALL THIS IS!!

You know Kate Winslet is only 38, right? Maybe you're 18 or something, but she's not old. And yes, she is totally gorgeous.

I said your habit was gross. You yourself might be gross, but I have no idea See, that's exactly what I mean- I never said you were gross, but your whiny response is, you think I'm gross? wah wah....better call a wahmubalance for the poor wittle victim smoker.

Clearly you haven't stopped caring about it because you're whining about it. Eating and drinking unhealthy things don't literally sicken other people. Believe me, I try to stay away from smokers, but it's not always possible. Smokers always whine about smokers' rights and how other people are tying to police them. No…

How is CVS shaming you by stopping selling cigarettes? Just buy them somewhere else. I drink wine. In my city CVS doesn't sell alcohol. I don't feel shamed by that- I just buy wine elsewhere.

I know you're right, and I intend to follow your advice, but reading about this shit gets me so pissed off!
