Unpopular opinion: we should sterilize this person.
Yep. As if one kind of belief set is to be tolerated and celebrated and another to be slandered. It seems hyperbolic but if you were to replace the word vegetarian with muslim/jew/hindi, Phoenix Tso would be out of a job.
Cystic fibrosis is such a fucked up and tragic disease. My ex is a nurse and these were the most heartbreaking stories. Girls not much older than he was at the time (around 21) asking if he thought they were going to die in surgery (they often did).
Why not just put up a "vegetarians unwelcome in our feminism club" sign? It's bigoted, offensive, and embarrassing. I just defended jezebel on a local message board and I'm suddenly confused about what I'm supporting here.
Also, what does this have to do with feminism? There's an anti-vegetarian/vegan streak among the crew and I don't see the point of a needlessly divisive and unrelated resentment. There's a whiff of "I'm a girl who doesn't like other girls" there, to me in the sense that some who are perhaps still insecure about what…
No, tolerance and acceptance is a one way street here.
Maybe just let bacon enthusiasts have their fun and eventually thin the herd. It does suck that we will have to pay for their colon cancer treatments but eventually we'll probably have a kinder society. Yes, this is tongue in cheek.
Wait but what is a confound?
Next time I click on Jezebel science analysis, I'll just cut the middle man and get straight to banging my head against a wall.
I guess just feel her out. You're right to not want to contribute to the pressure she's under or magnify the problem. But I guess if you feel like her self esteem is suffering and she comes to you for help, be open to helping her in whatever ways make the most sense ie, medical intervention, makeup. Maybe just a…
I've literally been told by my non-legs shaving friend that I'm vain. I've been on accutane 3x so I guess the medical community did not agree with her!
I think it's sometimes a defense mechanism. Like, since they don't have the problem or at least not on the scale that you do, you must not know the basics of hygiene/humanity. I think people just don't want to accept that bad things happen to good people which is the source of all lack of empathy. It's rough as…
People without skin conditions are remarkably unsympathetic. I have a friend with perfect skin who means well, but gets frustrated at how long I take to get ready due to skin issues. She once compared it to how look! she doesn't care if she doesn't shave her legs. How she misses the giant chasm in that comparison…
You meant "bro-eds," right"? Yeah, that's definitely what you meant to say.
I was just about to comment something along these lines. Haha, that's funny, my dog will never die. Ever! It's so crazy, isn't it? I dunno how it worked out but sometimes good things happen to good people and good dogs. Ha. ~gazes over at sleeping 10 yr old living dream in dog form~
Also, sorry I guess but the shaming of the supposedly sought-after girl because her problems aren't relatable to you is bullshit. Dismissing someone based on their looks is a two-way street, dude. While we're focusing on the 90s, maybe revisit some Tori.
Oh, and I sorta take issue with just taking for granted that Vickie is second-fiddle. The Troy/Lelaina storyline is the center of the movie but I don't feel it's just a given that dudes want Lelaina more than Vickie.
I don't know, man. Maybe I'm just coming from the other side of the coin or something, but there's def more than a lil authenticity to RB for me. And there's a lot of acknowledgement of Troy's shallow condescension as played out w Stiller's character. You're sorta missing a lot of the winking, I think.
It's definitely not to my taste which isn't to say it wouldn't look great on you but know that Modcloth stuff tends to be made incredibly cheaply. You may freeze in that thing.
