I'm all about more mainstream labels like H&M and The Limited carrying plus sized items in their stores or online, but it does still bug me that there's a "plus size section" or, as with The Limited, a plus size label separate from The Limited. It's still ghettoizing the "fatties" from "normal" sizes. Why can't…

Rationally, objectively, I know that women aren't bad. I am concerned about women's issues and have compassion for many of the trials and tribulations that are inherent to the American female experience.

OK I really appreciate this article and perspective. I did a cleanse a couple of years ago and told everyone it was to "jumpstart" a healthier lifestyle but really it was because I'd put on a few pounds and wanted to drop them quickly. I started the cleanse and although I felt pretty terrible the first couple of…

What's the over/under on the number of girls this guy's tried to sleep with and the number who have rejected him? Therein lies, I would posit, the motivation for the "deserve rape" sign. At least this fool just says how heinous he is on a sign instead of posting a thinly veiled profile calling himself a Nice Guy on…

Wow what great advice! Love it!

Ugh... why must a partner's disinterest in sex always translate into a rejection in our minds? That seems to be the big problem here. Every time someone talks about a partner not wanting to have sex (except when Lindy talks about having sex even though it's not first on your list of to-dos that day), there's an…

No articles like the ones you want because... like your blog post.... they're boring. You want a big ol' pat on the back for reading to some third graders and attending f*cking high school football games? Get real. These aren't bad things to do or anything - they're good things. But on the scale of "good things"…

If D. Tsarnaev is the bomber, he did an incredibly bad and cowardly thing and should be tried, convicted and punished for what he did. However, I am really upset that, like many high-profile criminal matters, the media and the public have already tried, convicted and hung this kid in their minds. We have a justice…

Maybe this is a little simplistic, but is it possible that you actually just don't like him that much and you're not really avoiding sex so much as avoiding having sex with HIM? Sex with someone I'm really into is a whole different ballgame from sex with some rando I met at a bar (or, well, some rando I met at a bar…

OMG I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I'm soooo upset that he's not being Mirandized. He doesn't stand a chance. I'm so scared for him right now.

My favorite spectator sign, which I held myself at Mile 24 of last year's Chicago Marathon. I had trained for 16 weeks and then got an attack of vertigo that kept me from running. Soooo awful to be kept out of a race. Soooo fun and inspiring to watch the runners and get them motivated to finish. Love races, love…

Right, see that's kinda the point. If the RCMP doesn't want the names of potentially innocent individuals dragged through the mud, they have a responsibility to conduct.... an INVESTIGATION! See!?! That's precisely what Anonymous asked them to do! Amazing!

Pot calling kettle? Pot calling kettle.

Hey - Seatosky - I've seen you compare this poor girl to a number of other women to try and explain why it's not OK for people to demand that the RCMP take up an investigation. The girl we're talking about is Rehtaeh Parsons. She was 17 years old. She was raped and then mercilessly bullied because of what happened…

You could TOTALLY get a job with CNN reporting on how sad it is when rapists' lives are ruined by their crimes. Go for it!

Do you think our legal system has some accountability? It doesn't. Get your head out of the sand.

I would actually argue that Anonymous' response to rapes of this nature is starting to form a pattern which, by its very nature, becomes predictable and, therefore, resists the argument you're trying to make that "vigilantes" will do whatever they want, whenever they want to whom they wish. In the sense that a…

As a Jesuit, Catholic university, there are certain Catholic commitments that we are called to uphold, including the commitment not to publicly distribute condoms on our campus

as far as AF's jokes go, this is a very very lame one. Did anyone see Mark Remy's AF's article on Runner's World claiming that Ryan Hall (distance runner) would be voluntarily submitting to a double-amputation of his legs just above the knee and would be running on carbon blades in the future? I saw it on FB very…

I've always kind of liked Betty for all the little insane jags she indulges in during the series. Remember her randomly trashing the dining room chair while the children watched from afar? Or how about her bizarre-o (kinda) romance with the 8 year old boy down the street? Or taking a shotgun to the neighbor's…
