Three words: Michael B. Jordan.

I think it's different with Paltrow because she comes off as superior, where Vergara comes off as honest. She's not going around telling people how to live their lives. She's just sharing one of her vices, and that vice doesn't happen to be occasionally eating a carb.

I have to disagree with you here. All models who want to work want to do endorsements. That's what fashion models do! They silently endorse products, saying, "you, too, can look beautiful like me if you buy this product!" You were a model who silently endorsed a whole buttload of designers. How crass!

All you need to do is read this blog about being a woman in philosophy, and you'll see... more of the same. More "intellectual" sexist man-children.

This lipstick has veered outside the lines of her lips. This will not do.

Ughhh, I hate how every time you post a photo of Nigella, I have to stop myself from commenting on her amazing gorgeousness. I don't want to be the shallow person who always goes there, but GAH!! Gorgeous!!!

Douche-bag hair.

Cloning is irrelevant, and if you knew anything (you don't), you'd know that cloning doesn't give you an exact replica. Gene expression (ever heard that term?) matters. That's why you can have clones that look different from one another. Either way, it's possible that if you cloned a trans person, you'd get another…

Yep. Of course boys will live as girls and identify as girls just to hear a girl tinkle in the next stall over. And of course girls will live as boys just to catch a glimpse of a penis! /sarcasm

Yes! That is the perfect retort!

Exactly.

Gawker posted a story about this yesterday. Do not go read the comments over there. Every time someone claimed they had a "basic understanding of science" therefore born-with-penis = boy, I wanted to reach through my screen and strangle someone.

One of my favorite parts of social psychology is the theory of deindividuation. If you're interested, here's a decent wikipedia page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deindivid…

See all these comments from people who like this average Barbie?

Having Barbie-like dimensions didn't make coming of age any better or more validating for me. It came with the same pain.

Are you fucking kidding me? You don't know anything about psychology. How can you possibly be all that aware when you think that your personal conscious beliefs as a child are the be all and end all of this discussion. Please. You didn't compare yourself to Barbie as a child? Well then, discussion over! Aside from it…

It's almost as if many people (you included) don't know about subconscious perceptions and conditioning. Crack a book.

Ugh, I know this thread is old, but I'm just chiming in to say that, yeah, screaming at a young child is pointless and dumb, and that hitting children is child abuse, full stop. My father never hit me, and never yelled at me in anger, and I was a very well-behaved kid. Some people are better with kids than others, and…

This guy isn't into gastric bypass, and sees fat as being a proxy for something deeper. So the storing is the proper way for your body to deal with an underlying issue, which would explain why fat people are at lower risk for certain disorders, and people who are only slightly "overweight" have longer lifespans. He…

I found this interesting Ted talk about obesity (hate that word) and metabolic disorder, but I hate that the doctor speaking calls fat people "victims." I like what he has to say, but I don't like the idea that fat = automatic problem. I don't pity fat people just like I hope they don't pity me for being short.…
