Maybe I'm hyper sensitive because I do struggle with body image and eating disorders, but there is a world of judgement in this sentence:

In my mid-twenties, I learned that taking your female friends to a gay bar is like taking a vegetarian to a butcher…
Welcome to Friendzone, Jezebel's column devoted to dealing with the valuable people in your life who you're not…
Wow. This is the ultimate in concern trolling.
Much like the five people you meet in heaven, these folks* are unforgettable.
This is just a corollary of the "friendzone" theory if you ask me. It's the hare-brained notion that women are obligated to look past a man's glaring flaws (whatever they are) and want to be with some guy because that guy is special or otherwise exceptional.
I really don't understand why every single place has to be child-friendly now. Can there be SOME places where adults can expect to be able to go and be away from children? Is that so horrible? That's not saying your child is horrible, or disgusting, or needs to die. Just that we should still be able to have SOME…

While that's technically true, "girl who only pretends to like videogames to get boys' attention" (aka Fake Geek Girl) is an incredibly common stereotype that is constantly used to harass and belittle female gamers. It's really, really, really, REALLY bad. I've been playing videogames for 25 years and I still get…
#BikiniBridgeOverTroubledWater
I feel like we should all grow out our pubes like crazy till they make bikini bridges and then just spam the hashtag with pictures of our bushy crotches in bikinis. Who's in?
As a small child, I was taken to R rated and steamy foreign films by my mother. She would have no one else to go with, so I was default. Hated all of them. I was 10 years old for Gawds sake. Still have big love in my heart for the box office clerk who absolutely refused to let my mom take me in to see "Last Tango In…
For aught that I have ever known, or heard by tell of history, the course of true love never did pee straight
I've been an environmentalist from way back, but I still think it is pretty silly that I take reuseable bags to the grocery, and buy plastic bags for my dog's poop. I just do it to avoid the OMG judgy looks from clerks. It is amazing to me that you can roll up to the store in an auto that gets 12 miles to the gallon,…
Of course, the dude who is talking about the economy and 3D printing technology is actually a Montclair State University business professor and member of several scientific education societies. (Let's keep conflating science and magic, yeah!)

Last time I flew, years ago, I was a petite person. At the check-in the agent looked me up and down and then assigned seats. (This was a charter flight, no one got choices, you took what they gave you). I got on and next to me was an enormous woman who was so large that she couldn't use the tray. I'm positive that…
*David Tennant as the Doctor
"Thanks for making that dick I like to suck!"
As a former poor person (ok still technically poor) it cracks me up when people insist it's 'not hard' to eat healthy on a minuscule budget.
