Love this. Love, love, LOVE this. I have a friend who recently re-entered the dating pool after a divorce and is having a really tough time. She talks about all the guys she’s “really into” as if they’re Ken dolls, entirely replaceable and utterly lacking any unique quality. She talks about how she likes going out…

I have the exact same story. Was off dating for 4 years, signed up for eHarmony and a week later I met my guy. He's 5'2". I'm 5'4". I'm over it cuz he's amazing.

Sure is.... but it reduces your risk of breast cancer so at least it won't tear you up in that particular way.

And the real bitch of it is that newer studies are starting to show that women who have their periods constantly because they don't get pregnant (like, um, lots of straight women who aren't getting married these days or who are married and don't want kids or lesbians....) are actually at a higher risk of breast cancer…

As someone who also enjoys reading about serial murderers who target women (Copycat is one of my favorite movies to watch on a cold, rainy night too!!!), I would posit that the interest - at least for me - is not only in the destruction of these women but in the power that they ultimately had over their killers.

For a long-form Ripper examination with a little more respect for the victims and who they were, try Complete History of Jack the Ripper by Philip Sudgen. It's not perfect - he slips into the awfulness of referring to the Whitechapel prostitutes generally as "hapless whores" and the like - but at least he does…

That's such a bummer!!! Well I hope you stay safe in the hurricane. In the meantime, I'm really enjoying your comments! I just think the OP is, well, really really not worth ANYONE'S time. Still, I'll take the laugh!

Love your reply but, honey, don't feed the troll. Just know you're amazing and fabulous and should be able to control your own womb and be done with this fool. There's a BBQ somewhere with your name on it.

Yeah, um, my ass is this size for a reason. I have no desire to jam it into sausage casings to try and change that. Didn't they just post a study about how wearing spanx basically reorganizes your internal organs and messed up your digestive system?

Thanks so much for posting. Great vid.

This video is hilarious. HOWEVER!!!! I don't understand why there's this new movement to talk about periods all damn day in order to reduce shame..... or whatever. OK, so if you grew up in a household where your mom or grandmother basically tell you that you're dirty because you bleed (Carrie??), that's one thing. …

Yep. Yep yep yep yep yep.

Yep. Yep yep yep yep yep.

Sorry you've gone through all that - it really does suck. However, my random comment on Jez about LD isn't me telling you that you have to let people criticize you. That's a stretch by any reading. Also, from the tone of your message it sounds like you don't like your "fat ass" and "round stomach" very much, so…

Yeah but the fact of feminism (i.e. that women have been known to have individual aesthetic tastes that deviate from norms) doesn't mean that you aren't judged by how you look. You are. We all are. It's just fact. Might not be fair, but it's fact. And just to be clear, the original article was about LD getting a…

I do. Frumpy is about wearing ill-fitting clothes not about the size of the body underneath them.

Every time I see Lena I think, wow, you just do everything in your power to make yourself look frumpy all the damn time! There's probably a very attractive woman under all that rumpled mess, but I just don't get what she thinks the advantage to hiding it is. Anna Wintour has profoundly better vision than I do…

WHOA!!!!! MIND. BLOWN. You are a celebrityspotting god(dess)!!!!

Totally... I'm just wondering if there actually are other "right" ways to do it or if "we" (feminists? women? rape survivors? I'm not even sure who "we" is....) have just decided that unless you do it this way it's "wrong." Like, is the idea that there are other "right" ways of doing this just false and we should…

So I think this video is great. It's funny and it's honest.... but I think it's a little bit of a one trick pony. It's basically a hyperbolic representation of a rape survivor's life that's so ridiculous (yet true!) it's funny. How are other comedians supposed to do this "right?"
