For what it’s worth, your comment was grey when I starred you, then it was black. Also, why on earth are you grey?

Isn't her comment odd because Caitlyn doesn't have a deep voice? Not at all for a man and not for a woman. Martha's voice is deeper, I think. Mine is!

In all seriousness, though, we aren’t hardwired for the way things are now. I know I feel neglected as a result of the amount of time those closest to me spend playing with their phones. And I find myself wondering about all the time I used to spend doing things, time that just gets wasted on nothing now. I miss being

This bothered me the most. Patronize and belittle me while you try to persuade me to blow you. Cool.

About actually being very thin? From women who were significantly bigger (casual acquaintances, coworkers). About wanting to be very thin? My feminist friends.

He may be wanting and enjoying what they are doing (then again, he may not), but this method of communication is total bullshit. My mom is at the “locked in” stage of ALS, and she looks left for no and right for yes and that's all she can do: and she has absolutely no cognitive impairment like this man.

Yeah, of course, I just think we’re talking about a pretty small subgroup of people.

I get what you’re saying but I don’t think that feminists who lose weight are contributing to a detrimental “thin is healthy” narrative in any significant way whatsoever. Like, that's the dominant cultural narrative of our lives.

Well, that’s the point. As a feminist, it can be hard to own up to superficial things. You feel like you’re betraying your sisters and your ideology on some level. And other femininists will often be unkind about intentional weight loss. So, you say it’s for “health.” Because no one will crucify you for that. If you

In my experience it’s also hard when they get used to the “new” you and STOP saying it! I went from wishing they’d shut up to feeling put out that no one was commending me.

People treated me really badly at my thinnest. I was never obese so I never got the shit for being fat, and I didn't know that women also get shit for being really thin.

Well, I was a 12 and went to a 0, and it wasn’t for health at all, but it would have been really hard for me to say that at the time so, no, it doesn’t rankle me. If you come from a certain feminist perspective I think it's not uncommon for a new kind of self-loathing to take the place of the old one when you lose

Lo, that I can star this comment but once. 100000000000 times yes.

This is very much how I felt. I like being really thin. I’m up a little bit now and I fucking hate it. I feel good at a low weight. And, yeah, you feel like a liar!

Deep thoughts, man.

Oh, I went through this myself, years ago. I don't often hear it discussed this way (the way I thought of it, too).

Also, I love how Kanye loves Kris. He lost his mom but he obviously loves her, and that's a really nice thing.

Yeah, enough. It’s a flapper party. Enough feeling superior over a book you read in high school. Also, as I’ve mentioned here more than a few times, my mom is very sick. Whenever I read a story about Kris Jenner and people snark on her, I think, damn, I wish my mom were having fun like that. I’d love to have gone to a

Caring for a disabled person is an isolating and bleak thing. This is a sad story.

I don’t get this objection at all. Why would it ever be okay to pay women less than men just because they are women? Because you think some women are rich “enough”?
