—For a man to openly reject a woman because he found her fat would be social suicide.—

I know this line of thinking is popular but it makes me laugh. It’s basically just an excuse for most women to not date a man for his height by hiding behind the so-called personality flaw that comes from said height. Besides, short guys have every right to be furious that they’re not being selected because of their…

I’m a pale, pale white girl, so when I went to India not long ago there were SO MANY women (strangers!) of all ages coming up to me asking how I kept my skin “so lovely and white” and touching my face, caressing my arm, etc!

Always takes it to anothe level when a major corp is pushing it.

Yeah I got to that line and I stopped reading.

Skin lightening is big business in India.
Colorism is supremely important in love, work and life there.

I was like uh... Outdated tradition? Lost in Translation? Oh you must be North Indian.

My grandmother used to tell me to rub turmeric on my arms to remove the hair. It doesn’t work and the turmeric will dye your skin yellow

Yeah, like...please. Indians in front of a camera tell quite a different story, right?

Having light skin is a HUGE deal in India. Anybody who tells you otherwise either has light skin or is in denial.

This is what I do not understand about registries- a $60 cheese knife? Why would I ask my friends and family to buy things for me that I won’t even remember in 6 weeks? (Not to say that a $60 cheese knife is inherently ridiculous, but every registry has shit on it you know the couple doesn’t care about at all).

How do people like this handle real life???? I really don’t undersand.

I can’t help but think that dear Cathy would be better off putting all her energy into getting a job rather than merging her life and finances with another underemployed person.

Wait, what? You don’t think Catherine has done anything wrong in this situation? Fuck your special day, Catherine, if you are defaulting on loans that you asked your aunt to cosign while asking for Kate Spade towels.

C’mon. I can have a raging ladyboner over P&P and still not want to give myself pneumonia wearing a wet tissue-paper-thin dress.

I know it’s not the Victorian Era but I finally watched “The Magdalene Sisters” which is a film based on a true story of Irish women being interred at a wash house. One woman was there for having a baby out of wedlock, another for getting raped by her cousin, and the last for flirting. Flirting. Highly recommend…

Maybe I’m just not a romantic, but there’s no time period I’d rather live in than this one. Or maybe the future. But right now we have disposable tampons, birth control, antibiotics, air conditioning, divorce laws, safe abortions (where available) and surviveable c-sections. I’m a cynic and I bitch a lot about what…

I read an article by a woman whose husband was transgender, and she wrote very movingly about how left behind and hurt she felt, and all alone because she was supposed to be smiling and supportive of the journey at all times. It’s very alienating to have somebody basically lie to you about your entire life together…

Even Jenny Boylan’s wife talked about how it’s hard for the family because they’re sort of left behind, not to mention that they have to mourn the life they had with this person who is essentially no longer there. Kris may not be the best person, but she’s still a human who’s prone to those pesky human emotions.

Pretty much. I think though with KUWTK, a certain amount of that is “playing at” being the worst is part of the staging and overall packaging. I’ve watched enough of I Am Cait to just feel... like some point has been vastly missed. Cait spends a lot of her time dismissing the confused and vulnerable feelings of her…

Came here to say this. Kris being upset about her divorce doesn’t make her an enemy of trans issues, it makes her a woman whose marriage fell apart - and fell apart in a much more complicated way than many could possibly imagine. She should be allowed to be upset and to mourn. I think people should cut her a bit of…
