God, this is depressing. Doubly so because I remember having this argument when I went there a decade ago and absolutely nothing has changed. I remember the Crimson White doing another great expose on it. I remember the editorial page being filled with opinion letters from the Greeks offering tone-deaf defenses of…

I would give them kudos if they all quit. And that ain't going to happen. So, not so much.

Why not just deactivate? Not being critical, just curious.

I guess. I also can kinda easily imagine this poor woman walking around her trashed house after those idiots left and just being in a daze from the disaster and focusing all of her anger on the one lamp.

It doesn't surprise me that there are alumnae in a place like Alabama for whom sorority membership is a life highlight who are so backward. What I don't understand is why the university is allowing this.

Ugh. I have a friend who is Kenyan-American, who now holds her PhD and teaches, BUT...she received a scholarship to attend Auburn University for her PhD, and the first day in a class that she was co-teaching, the white male co-teacher told her that she couldn't leave her backpack at the front of HIS class, and that…

Those white girls who are pissed should probably quit rather than comment anonymously.

And that's okay, if it means you're not acting like a feral badger in someone else's home.

Not yet. These aren't young professionals. They are just young assholes.

No joke. A few personal items left behind and a few wine glasses missing? Not worthy of an email. But broke the glass shelf in the shower? Broke the lock off the bathroom door? Put holes in the walls? The fuck?

That's what I'm wondering. Did this "woman" (I use that term loosely 'cuz she seems more like an animal) actually think we were going to be on her side? That it is OK to destroy other people's stuff because she's young and rich? I'm thinking she missed the memo on Jez.

Who the fuck does that to someone else's property and thinks it is A-Okay? I just don't get people. At all.

OMG, how cute. They totes thought we'd think the letter was overkill too.

What the ever-loving fuck is wrong with people? "Minor damages"? They basically ripped her house apart. The second you start putting holes in a wall, and not in the hooks-for-artwork way, you have gone beyond "minor damages." Grow up, you 20-something financial/fashion assholes.

This does not surprise me. For one thing, the never-ending well-intended OMG YOU LOOK SO GOOD CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS AND WELCOME TO YOUR NEW LIFE type of compliments I received after losing weight made feel me terrified of gaining it back, and reinforced a lot of negative eating/exercise attitudes that I had. I'm…

LOL sorry had to reply to this, I actually have WORKED in the biomedical industry and my partner has actually done research on different types of diet in mice as well as the health of mice at different weights.

Actually we don't "know" that being fat is an unhealthy state. There are dozens of detailed, peer reviewed studies showing that a healthy lifestyle at any weight (up to and including extremely obese) is a better predictor of longevity than weight itself. We have mislabeled physical preference for health and it is a…

This song/clip makes me cry hot, feminist parent tears of joy every time I see it.

There's a special place in hell for any adult who makes a kid feel less than, especially about their appearance.

Also, I think I first saw this mash-up of "I love my hair" and "whip my hair" here on jezebel several years ago. It seems poignantly relevant here.
