There's also a difference between "your opinion doesn't matter" and "I understand your opinion, but it's not going to convince me to act otherwise." All relationships have their places where compromise cannot happen and someone has to give. That doesn't mean the other person doesn't care how you feel, or even doesn't…

I'm in a non long distance relationship. My boyfriend and I are both pretty attractive. We both get hit on a lot when we go out. And we are super attracted to each other, and we still watch porn. Both of us. Sometimes separately, sometimes together. It's just something fun and a little naughty and a way for us to…

You know there is a section of porn for fat women.

I think people forget that commenting on bodies, and looks in general, is often objectification EVEN if it is a compliment. It is embarrassing and often demeaning, particularly if it is done constantly and/or by someone you don't know. I was once in a crowded elevator at work and this older guy commented on how good…

Ok, so that means she shouldn't be complaining, even though she doesn't like having her body talked about, because they could be insulting her? Or she shouldn't be complaining because her friends are probably getting a stream of insults about being fat every day? If the shoe was on the other foot and a skinny girl and…

You basically said that if something is meant as a compliment, it's ok, regardless of how the person receiving it actually feels. Where did I at all come close implying that fat people don't or shouldn't think of themselves as attractive (many of my heavier friends think they are attractive, and they are), or that…

YES. This is how I felt the entire time!

I just had tortilla chips that are definitely at least 6 months. I've always felt like there are enough preservatives in most foods for them to actually last forever.

It is just stupid to mandate something like this. I would rather live in sin.

I get why we might not want irresponsible people having kids, but what's the harm in having irresponsible people getting married? It's not like they were going to file separate income tax forms correctly.

I always felt like she did it tongue-in-cheek.

I like that you brought up privilege because I think people often forget that there is a difference between privilege and your individual experience. There are thin people who get comments and get treated poorly because they are thin, that does not mean thin privilege does not exist. I know guys who were turned down…

It doesn't matter if they're meant as compliments. They made her uncomfortable, that is the point. When a guy tells me that my tits are so great, they make him want to fuck me, he sure MEANS it as a compliment but that doesn't make it right. Just because it is meant as a compliment doesn't mean I am wrong in being…

Sorry, I just made the connection between what you said and how Mindy Kaling's described her relationship with her thinner friends and her weight. Like that there are positive ways to talk or work around weight and health in friendships that don't involve shaming on either end.

Okay, is there a way you think she should have described these girls? The problem is that they're constantly comparing their bodies to hers, and it adds context that they are significantly heavier than she is. I don't know how else she could have said it.

I remember reading Mindy Kaling's book and she talked about how she had two skinny friends/roommates in college and they got her to be healthy by getting her into running and exercising with her. It was all about being healthy and I don't remember her ever mentioning that her friends pointed out the weight difference…

Overweight is not a value judgement, and besides that, lots of people, including overweight people, describe themselves as fat and beautiful. Are you implying that they don't believe it?

I would LOVE for mosh pits to be outlawed, but I get they're part of the culture for some bands. That being said, that culture, mostly punk bands, a lot of the original fans are not 16 years old anymore. They're not exactly 70, but it is much more uncomfortable to get tossed around. I'm only in my late 20s, I can't…

I don't know how to put this...It is certainly not good that this is happening, but the fact that tourists are assaulted and raped in India is going to deliver a big hit to the tourism industry and likely force the government to seriously respond to the issue. They could sweep the sexual violence against their own…

hey, some of those people are getting back from the bathroom or got separated from their group in the shuffle. I don't need to get to the first row, but sometimes the person I need to get to is actually in front of you.
