God, this article is such an incredible fucking bummer, because it is SUCH a missed opportunity.

I'm actually really excited about the Asian-American sitcom! Have we every had a sitcom that centered around an Asian family before? I can't recall one...

I'm a woman who hates porn. What I hate even more is that it's not socially acceptable in most feminist spaces to admit that. I always get someone being all, "Aw, hon, you need to be more accepting of your sexuality!" Why is it so crazy that my sexuality doesn't involve porn?

People were more open about it back then I think. We seem to be suffering from some bullshit moral trip in the US the last few years.

SO true. I definitely had times when I was younger where I let peer pressure lead me away from relationships that probably would've been fulfilling purely because of societal expectations and fears. Of all the mistakes I've made in my life, those are the ones I'm most ashamed of.

I think it's a very small percentage of people who actually care about the health of random fat strangers.

Because that's a reductionist, evo-psych nonsense premise. Eugenics hasn't been cool for like a century now.

Short boys club! My boyfriend is shorter than me and I'm 5'6". I'd like to think my friends aren't that superficial, as no one has ever said anything about his height to me, but that may also be because this is the most together relationship I've ever been in... But yeah, status dating sucks. And it's really fucking…

I hate how he's getting all of this credit for ~starting this conversation~ all of a sudden (the internet is LOOOVING this) but women have been trying to say EXACTLY what this episode is trying to say for. YEARS. No one cares until a straight white dude decides to talk about something.

Yeah, I don't think this is commentary on forcing yourself to be attracted to someone who you're not attracted to. It's about letting societal pressure bully you out of being attracted to someone who you ARE attracted to.

Did you ever read that thing where they put up two identical online dating profiles for a women and at the end of one it said something like "I am a heroin addict and I am not going to change" and the other said "I am fat and I am not going to change" and waaaaayyyy more people wanted to date the drug addict. It's…

I think you're right about preferences to an extent, but I think this speech was more aimed towards men who do secretly like the fat girl but don't want to really admit it because of some dumb notion of shame.

Yeah I really don't buy that this person would never be romantically interested in a guy who was otherwise a perfect match solely because of the color of his hair.

I don't smoke. I hardly ever drink. I don't do drugs. I like food. Food is delicious. Could I stand to lose at least 50 pounds? Probably. But I don't have horrible mental health issues and I do not have an inability to take care of myself.

No, the issue would be if you weren't that attracted to blondes, but dated them anyway because OTHER people would be impressed. Or were actually attracted to brunettes but didn't date them because it would make people think "Oh, guess she/he (I don't know your sex or sexual orientation) is only dating that brunette…

I am curious about how a person would tell if a guy they met on the street or in a bar had a tiny penis? Fat and short are pretty obvious, but small penis, how do you know? Am I doing something wrong, is there a trick I am unaware of, what do you know that I don't?!?

Teenagers are shallow. We're supposed to grow out of that.

Yeah on the one hand you sympathize 10000000% with her, but on the other hand i can her creepy MRAs saying "Yeah me too! All i want is to hold hands with a nice girl, WHY NOT ME?!?!". Of course the MRA will then go into how all women are dumb lying bitches which drains any empathy you might have for them.

you don't prefer non-blonds because society has told you and everyone else that blond guys are inferior and that every woman really wants a redhead and you're obviously settling or defective because you can't attract a redhead.

in a perfect world, yes, no one should be shamed for having a body type preference. but the world isn't perfect. only a tiny percentage of people who claim they prefer non-fat bodies (what does that even mean), are not making that decision in a vacuum. as this illustrates, it's much more often NOT about physical…
