The actual word, spoken or written, makes me a bit sick to my stomach. I say let the creepos get what they want. It seems like the worst punishment I can imagine.

Honestly, if someone really wants to see me go #1/2, why do I care? They're the ones that have to watch me do the grossest thing I do during the day.

Love it when people from the south try to confuse people by saying they're from the 'eastern seaboard'.

Well, and this study fails to consider the temporal aspects of how society treats attractive/ugly people over time. Society tends to treat attractive people quite well, which may lead to a bit of arrogance but not meanness. However, if an ugly person has experienced a lifetime of rejection, well, that's bound to make…

Most people choose not to engage with ugly people, so you wouldn't find out if they were mean or not. You also wouldn't find out if they were nice, funny, brilliant, etc.

Given the uninformed and pedantic level of discourse about feminism (already a complex and contradictory enterprise) by the vast majority of its adherents (myself included), it's no wonder why people are distancing themselves from the issue.

And yet they all seem to be more articulate about the subject than the average Jez commenter. Not that there aren't a lot of impassioned opinions on this site (and I was a starred commenter before Kinja), but the lack of critical insight into the various intersectionalities and contradictions of feminism (outside the…

Um, how is the public proven 'wrong', exactly? The public makes its preferences known by paying for and attending movies that it likes. The formula for what the public likes has always been the lowest-common-denomination of entertainment, while smaller subsets continue to appreciate more nuanced media.

Yeah, but The Heat was a horrible movie with a 4th grade level of humor - like any comedy/action movie.

Do you speak for India?

Freckles are probably the most attractive aspect that any person might have. Smaller breasts are a close second.

So you watch cooking shows, but you refuse to take their lessons to the kitchen? Ok then!

Several studies have come out showing that a certain portion of the population has a strong aversion to cilantro and coriander. For those who dislike it, it can taste like soap, dirt and metal.

And to you I say: why in the world would anyone enter a sexual relationship to always give and never receive?

And what's in it for Grey Worm, in terms of receiving pleasure?

I'd rather she not. He did save her life, despite his motivations. Plus, he's become my favorite character due to the fact that he's playing the game better than most.

Strangely enough, my low-levels of dissatisfaction with my body keep me exercising and eating well. I'm well aware that I'll never have a perfect body, but I feel like my life, health and body image has improved when I began to leverage dissatisfaction into action.

Of course, women are subject to more body image critique than men. However, the vast majority of commenters on this site patently refuse to extend the same 'all bodies are beautiful' toward men. If body image acceptance is going to gain traction, it must be inclusive rather than exclusive. For instance, women's…

Because 'hefty' at the time was a display of wealth, health and leisure. Only a rare few were able to eat in excess, avoid a life of labor, and live in conditions that didn't result in illness. Further, Michelangelo was commissioned by these wealthier people to mirror and often exaggerate their projected displays of…

It's actually highly dependent on economics. Art history will tell you this in vivid detail.
