I think I can understand your thought process here as well. I don't think you realize how tightly knit these communities are. People are born and raised in the church. The church is not something separate from their public, personal and family lives. Girls are taught from childhood that their bodies tempt evil and…

PETA isn't an anti-cruelty or anti violence against animals organization. They are an animal "rights" organization, which implicitly means they are against cruelty and violence against animals. The difference is that animal "welfare" activists are explicitly anti cruelty and violence against animals without…

Try and relate this to something you are familiar with, your own community. When a group of people get together to oppose an unfair piece of legislation, are they just being childish and should simply move to a different jurisdiction? Should we just let others have sole authority in OUR communities? Is it…

I don't remember any of the participants expressing any ideas about how they thought other women have it better. The piece was put together by an artist who came at it from a very specific cultural perspective, likely because it was a perspective that was familiar to her. What they shared seemed very intimate and…

The first part of your comment relates to a common sentiment expressed by the participants of the project. The idea that these women's bodies are "for" men. That their bodies and sexuality are something that they "give" to their husbands. Does the fact that their bodies are totally visible in all their beauty,…

The women weren't paid. Some of their travel expenses may have been covered by benefactors of the project. They actually have a lot to lose from participating in this project (which it would behoove you to actually examine instead of working off the assumptions you've made based on this article). You have a nice…

I urge you to actually look at the piece and read what the women had to say, if you want to see their brains. Be honest, you've read this article but haven't bothered to look at the piece, have you? As for the "attention seeking" part, this is always said derisively. Why is a woman drawing attention to something…

If women want to draw attention to an issue that is important and personal to them, they're whores? When artists have something to say, the subjects they use are whores? Where's the whoring? If it's the nudity, then they're pornographers not whores. Get your terminology right.

I sounds like you haven't actually looked at the project and read what these women have to say. They are not mocking anyone and they don't desire to go to church in their daisy dukes. Their struggles in owning their sexuality, feeling fully integrated into their bodies instead of regarding them a problem to be…

"unless those were all shopped on?" No. They were likely not all shopped on. Some, maybe, hard to know for sure. I'm glad you didn't find any glaring examples of what was spoken about in the article. I admire that you practice skepticism, but there are more reliable ways to investigate the validity of the claims…

"Saying that this doesn't work only for "fat" women is completely inaccurate and totally misrepresenting the issue."

My other comment didn't actually address the question. The article says specific weights, then later mentions obesity vs. "normal" BMI. The article isn't very useful except to inform us there might be something we need to look into before trusting emergency contraception. Jezebel articles are infuriating that way…

I would guess the woman in the picture has sufficiently disabled her reproductive system through athletic doping. Body building is a fascinating and very strange world. There are "body building competitions" and "natural body building competitions". The default is an acceptance and even an expectation of doping so…

In the article it says that increasing the dose would not increase the effectiveness of Plan B in overweight or obese women. There's another mechanism at play that's unrelated to dosage. The article doesn't go into explaining that part any further though, unfortunately.

Yeah, because calling a girl fat on the internet is SOOOOOooo original.

I babysit a child who's breath smells unpleasant pretty much all the time. Even after he brushes his teeth he smells like toothpaste with a hint of bad breath. He has nasal congestion issues and breathes mostly through his mouth which I'm pretty sure is the cause. Perhaps your kid has something similar, especially…

There's bound to be some crossover in terms of hanky panky within a social circle. You shouldn't feel weird unless it's weird, and it doesn't have to be weird.

THANK YOU for giving your perspective. Yours is the most important. All us grown ups can do is shake our heads saying "kids these days." I'm old, so when I was your age there was no facebook, no one had digital cameras, cell phones were only just starting to be a thing that middle class people had and they only…

Shit. I hope there are people in your online community that stick up for you. People who use that kind of shit against you are the ones discrediting themselves and worthy of ridicule, not you.
