I think you can be female positive and still critical of someone's work. I do see what you mean though, some of the comments are harsher than necessary. I'm not a fan of Lena Dunham's work but I can't knock her for being successful and I won't say she isn't talented.

I don't think she's untalented but I do hate the way she handles her privilege (white, class, celeb parents etc). Her work is okay, though not for me) and hopefully it will improve with time and will showcase a less white washed message.

Meh. Lena Dunham gets on my nerves but only because she is a dirty hipster. She's obviously talented and hard working so she deserves whatever accolades she gets. Oviously people love Girls so good on her. I won't be watching though.

My question was more on how far do you think women should go to attract a mate? Make up and hair dye? Plastic surgery? Tanning? Dieting? Obviously I don't think anyone should just give up after finding a mate, and of course women cared about their appearance 400 years ago, My point was that they didn't have access to…

There is a so-called ideal beauty that is almost standard with a few exceptions. It all goes back to the golden ratio, high cheek bones, large eyes, clear skin, healthy hair and a body fat ratio that falls into a certain category (though that varies from culture to culture). These are all the markers of health,…

True, but often women will be considered pretty until the magic of makeup is removed. I think the point was that conservative women do more of the conventional things that are expected of women. Take that away and the playing field is probably even because both parties attract women and men from all walks of life.

You don't have to preen and tan and dye your hair and wear a ton of makeup to be attractive to a mate. I think this was her point (I could be wrong, it was hard to tell what the point was, as much as I love Lindy).Women who do all those things may be seen as attractive simply because they 'made the effort' as you put…

I watch Mad Men religiously and (not body snarking) I don't think her waist is all that tiny. Compared to photos taken in her earliest years she looks much heavier in my opinion. She might have had implants but like I said, he body is much slimmer. I don't understand your tone though, I was stating my opinion, this…

I heard that they are contractually obligated to play down their wealth for the TV show. People tune in because these kids are supposed to be like normal people (HA) and if they were all living in mansions it would take the aura of normality away.

Meh, from what I've read she was also much, much slimmer back then. As a woman who went from a small B to a large DD after gaining some weight I can sympathize with the accusation. I recently moved back to my hometown and I have been asked point blank if I had my boobs done. I take it in stride. Personally, I think if…

Sophia Vergara and Christina Hendrix are both gorgeous women who are also gifted actresses (especially Vergara in my book, she reminds me of a modern day Lucile Ball). I am also a large chested woman and I have trouble NOT having my breasts front and center. Even with two minimizers I still get stares and comments.

There are rumors that she did but from what I get out of it when she started her career she was more than 40lbs thinner than she is now which I'm sure made her breasts look smaller. I had a similar weight gain a few years back and I went from a B cup to a DD in no time.

Balls to the Wall Lezzie is going to be my new band name, I love it.

Okay, first off I think this guy is like a real life Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, only not as loveable or funny. Second, Jennifer Livingston isn't even that heavy. She's television fat but not real life fat, IMO. Not that it would make it okay to be a dickhead to her if she was, but come on. Dude needs to choose…

I bet his penis is tiny.

I personally like Doug's work on here, I don't get the hate either.

Who gets to decide what is appropriate? I know people who think you shouldn't wear jeans to the store (ie: my grandma and she calls them dungarees) and I know people who look more put together in their sweats than I do in a nice pair of jeans and a blouse (it's hard to care about makeup and hair when you're going…

This all day everyday baby.

I have an unusual hair color too but the only people who ask that question are people who actually know me at least in a casual way. I certainly don't mind that, but the one time a woman came up to me on the subway when I was pregnant and told me it was wrong of me to dye my hair (when I've never dyed my hair even…

That's literally what happened. She still talks about it with this air of sad, quiet disbelief. This was the late 70s too, and in NYC so it wasn't unusual to see an interracial family.
