I'm glad the "real women have curves" trend is dying out. I get that thin people have more privileges than non-thin people, but I never thought it was fair how they were excluded from the positive body image movement just because their bodies are more socially acceptable. I've always believed in promoting self-esteem

Upwards of 3 is unacceptable? I've had days where I've done worse.

#3 is pretty much the only ACCEPTABLE item on this list.

When I was trying on jeans there the other day, I saw a plaque in the fitting room saying additional sizes were online. I didn't see that advertised out on the floor. That might be helpful for someone who is on the straight/plus size cusp and brought the largest available regular size into the fitting room and found

What in the fuck? They charge more for plus but not for maternity? I guess their values system says it's ok to be bigger, as long as you're just pregnant.

I love how they also use real people to model regular, human-size clothes, and then have to use a fake dummy to model fat-people clothes because heaven forfend we put pictures of actual large women on the Internets.

I love how they can't even get a plus sized model and have to use a headless mannequin.

So, I'm a fat chick, so sometimes I buy ON's plus size stuff, sometimes I buy their straight sized XXL stuff. Let me tell you something: while they no doubt have some special tailoring on some plus items, a lot of it really is just the regular stuff scaled up. That's precisely why I can do an XXL or whatever random

I like Old Navy, I shop there fairly often (they have the best pajamas) but their sizes are INCREDIBLY inconsistent. I could buy a medium in a thermal, get XL pajama bottoms and be totally sized out in their dress pants.

It's over 30% more on what planet is that a little?

I am not sure where you got your information, but it isn't even slightly accurate.

Anybody who films a rape is, by definition, a bad guy.

I will never understand the whole "Sure what the boys did was bad. But should this follow them for the rest of their lives?" Fucking crazy.

Um. If you see somebody getting raped and instead of stepping in, you instead video tape the event, you are part of the problem. He didn't rape her but he definitely made the situation much worse. It appears that there is evidence he leaked the pictures to their peers and online which would certainly count as

Oh my fucking God. They got literally got away with murder. They killed her, and now they have to write an apology letter and that's all. They bullied a rape victim to death, and this is it? Oh my GOD. I hate people.

Was just listening to this story on Kojo Nnamdi (local NPR show in the DMV) and two things to note:

I sort of see the point of not canceling classes when a holiday is only observed by a very small group in the student population. But they can and should make some other accommodations, such as not counting it as an absence, directing teachers not to schedule tests or other significant events on that day, excusing the

TOOOOOOOOTALLY not about Islamophobia though. I heard it's about ethics in journalism.

So, wait, does that mean the kids won't get days of for Christmas? I'm confused. ETA: I see, there are days off for Christmas but they're not calling them days off for Christmas. So, to spite the Muslims, the Christians will join the "happy holidays" movement, and enroll in the war against Christmas that FoxNews is
