I'm amazed more people aren't talking about the conjunction of "We take what we want" and the Indian logo. I mean, it's pretty much an American history lesson on a T-Shirt, isn't it?

With the motto and the Indian logo, they'd have scored a trifecta of offensiveness if pirates were a some sort of protected class.

Horror story week is the BEST. (Also, horror fans, check out the movie Kwaidan that I was watching last night; it's on the Watch TCM app and it's fantastic.)

Is the Mom's bridge club?

this is absurd. If they wanted to be realistic, they'd have the politician responding to the girl's text with a dick pic.

I'm Lois Duncan, the author of DAUGHTERS OF EVE, which, to my amazement, appears to be just as controversial today as it was when I wrote it back in the late '70s. I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion (thank you Jia and Kelly) and would be happy to respond to any questions that anyone might have. (As long as you

Use of the phrase "power suit" = I'm not listening to you anymore.

This leads me on to something I've been dying to see discussed somewhere. Do ya'll watch Homeland? Quinn hooks up with a fat lady. They have sex. It's almost, almost, like a legit, normal girl meets boy experience EXCEPT she's fat so of course there is an incident in a diner where dudes make fun of the whale. Why is

That's it, we're supposed to be eternally apologetic for existing while fat.

Every time my wife brings home a Bath & Body Works receipt, I want to point out that it says "BBW" on it and be like, "What the fuck kind of stores are you shopping at?"

I consider it a pretty old Internet term. I remember back when it wasn't quuuuuite so charged.

A little off-topic, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else on Jez: How about the "BBW" in this season of Homeland; Quinn's gal-pal? I loved that her size was a non-issue for him... until it was. I think it was awesome for a show with an already (racially) diverse cast worked in this totally unnecessary but very

As a fat woman, I cannot get behind this term, because it always seems so porn specific. Any man who calls me a BBW makes me feel immediately fetishized, and it's not good, even if it does mean that they totes want to bone me...because I just feel like a mere body there to fulfill the things they've fantasized about.

"The type that wanna suck you dry and then eat some lunch with you."

So ready for dudes to realize that "Hey ladies, I'd fuck you!" is not actually the panacea they think it is.

Oy, their replies section on Twitter is a hot mess too. They really shouldn't even attempt customer service like that on a public platform, because it just makes it blatantly obvious that everything is form replies. Social Media 101 for businesses is that it needs to look organic, or it's not going to work.

It's already gone— they have them labeled as "Women's Plus Size" now.

Is there a thick enough gauze filter on this photo??

As someone whose husband died of cancer, I second this. People who are carers or are grieving or going through an emotional upheaval in their lives aren't well equipped to ask for what they need. So if you're close to someone in that kind of situation, do whatever you can think of to help even if you're not sure it's
