Another thing that got my mom active: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I’m not kidding either. She wanted to go to the park, but didn’t want to have to sit down every few minutes. When I said I’d be home for a few weeks in the summer, she started walking every morning just to build up her stamina, so that by the…

It’s definitely a problem and an argument that many try to shut down stupidly with “LALALAALA WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL.” All of a sudden everyone needs that adjetive to describe them. Because who can argue about something so subjective, right? Well, beauty is not going to help you when you need to run in case of an…

By your logic, celebrities shouldn’t be especially good looking either because ‘normal’ people would just want to see ‘normal’ looking people in movies. In reality, most celebrities are especially good looking (or interesting looking) with the exception of a lot of comedians who often just need to be funny.

Here’s a hint: the answer to that question is in the title. Straight lines are easier to cut than curved lines.

Oh what a fraught topic. Why do we hold certain beauty standards? What is beautiful? Who is healthy?

Don’t we know this already? It isn’t “the norm” to be a 0, but at that size the curves/shapes of your body don’t interfere with the lines of the clothes. If your business is clothing design, you want to show off your designs, not the body underneath.

Don’t we all? On the one hand: Why not? On the other (larger more judgemental hand attached to the arm closest to my heart) hand: Why?

Sounds like one of those law firms that advertise on late night television.

I imagine there will be less opposition than there has been against trans women, since nobody thinks being female is an advantage in swimming.

“Schuyler Bailar”

Sounds like a proper old money Harvard name to me. D: That or the name of one of Paris Hiltons dogs...

I think most of us can agree that these restaurants are stupid and degrading to women, but nobody was forcing this woman to work at one.

Yeah, it’s kind of insane to throw around “strong, intelligent women” arguments when your intended audience is Tilted Kilt customers.

I’m not understanding the outrage here. She applied for a position the qualifications for which were mostly based on her appearance. Her appearance didn’t match what her potential employer wanted. The end.

Sleazebags gonna sleaze.

Exactly. What exactly was she expecting? It’s titty restaurant.

All breastaurants are bags of dick for sure, but at the same time it’s kinda weird to make a claim of appearance based discrimination against a company whose raison d’être is appearance based discrimination.

I was apparently the only granola kid at my tiny private school (early 90s) since I was the only one that wore Tevas. Mine had purple and green stitching if I remember correctly.
