i'd caution any straight people against speaking for queer people. i'm a therapist who works at a non-profit, LGBTQQI mental health center and who identifies as bisexual, and i can assure you that any time a public figure makes a tasteful statement about non-normative sexuality without explanation, fear, or shame,

Ohhhh, man... That is SO Raven.

Some of these are not selfies but I needed a good headline and didn't think people would be pedantic about it.

I looked soooo much better as a senior than as a freshman. I finally learned how to dress myself and apply make-up. Plus, I was way more self-confident and better in the sack. There's no way I was trying to compete with 18-year-olds who'd just lost their pimples and braces and don't know how to navigate life, because

This story has nothing to do with weight, but you keep focusing on the weight of cartoon women because that's totally productive and those women are willing and able to listen to your concern.

Yeah because there's a huge difference between 18 and 21 year olds when it comes to attractiveness. All 18 year olds are beautiful and all 21 year olds are homely. Yup, that's how the world works.

Well said. And not to stray too far afield from the topic, but I also think that with these "OMG YOUNG LADIES ARE OUT OF CONTROL" trend pieces, there's kind of a weird focus on being "happy" in a way that is I think not realistic for humans or even necessarily healthy. I know a lot of ungendered lifestyle journalism

Nope, they're still not, and nothing's going to change that whether you're a fitness guru or some fat lazy dude who thinks only women should care about their weight and men shouldn't because durr i'm not attracted to men so why should i care abut their health lol!!

I did notice and appreciate that the women in the drawing are about the average size of U.S. female college students. I was skinny in high school, and I gained about 20 pounds in college, and it was because I was eating tons of pizza and Chinese food, drinking whenever I wanted, and having a wonderful time. My

Somewhat ironic that it sounds like their lifestyle is insanely unhealthy :-)

But, saavy.m, they're promoting an unhealthy lifestyle by existing. In art. I mean, look at them. They're so pink and white, my God! Everything else is yellow and orange, and if they want to be stencil outlines, I mean, I guess that's okay, but it seems kind of irresponsible to promote that kind of colorblind

Let us know when you get back from your yoga class, Anthony.

Uh... what's with people saying the "women in the art" are fat? What? What is with you? Did your mother not love you enough? Did she eat nothing but kale? Fuck sakes.

So, it's not just me wondering why in the hell he would make that leap that women who want to be treated well want to then castrate men, verbally or otherwise, for funsies?

Reminds me of Alec Baldwin saying queen isn't homophobic, because anyone can be a queen. Reee—leeeee?

Not only an apology, but a heartfelt one, and a "wow, I really learned from this?"

Being a feminist can be exhausting. I completely get that 7th grade teacher feeling, even with people I love. My husband, while normally a feminist, if not a particularly active one, doesn't really get it. It's like he thinks I'm making things up just to make it ("it" being society or being a woman or whatever I'm

Yup, absolutely no sympathy for Weiner whatsoever, but it's pretty clear that Leathers had a plan here.

Do you live in NYC? Sexy clowns would be a vast improvement over the current NYPD. But I agree, he doesn't show good judgement or leadership qualities.
