This is a good point: Women's clothing is meant to have an expiration date. That cute top and stylish pair of dress pants are supposed to be replaced next season, so they don't take as much care to make them well or ensure that they will last a long time. It ends up costing us more money in the long run. Retailers…

My view my be skewed because I work at a non-profit full of earthy folks, but I don't think not wearing make-up or being able to operate a flatiron legitimately holds women back. There are minimum standards to be met: Did you brush your hair and teeth this morning? Did you put on clean clothing that meets the dress…

I spend a fair amount of time grooming but I don't feel it's oppressive or holding me back in any way. I also go to the nail salon every 2 weeks for a gel manicure because having pretty, shiny, well-groomed nails is the only thing that keeps me from chewing my fingers into bloody stumps; it costs $40, plus tip. I get…

Come hang out in DC for a few weeks. You'll feel fantastic about your commute afterward, I promise.

New York City isn't really a "topic," is it? It's a large city with over 8 million people living in it. Some of those people happen to live in poverty, some of those people are homeless, some of those people are wealthy investors, some of those people are bright-eyed fashionistas who moved to the city to follow their…

No, sweetie, we don't have any common ground. You keep reiterating the same tired points over and over again for no reason; none of your points have anything to do with anything in this thread. Being fat is caused by one thing, eh? Not hypothyroidism? Not Prednisone? Not birth control? Not any of the countless…

Oh, watching a sad little troll grasp at straws is fun. So, you don't know me, don't know how much I weigh, what I look like, and don't know my partner, but apparently know enough (O Wise Speaker for All Men Everywhere) to know with absolute certainty that my boyfriend would prefer it if I were thinner. Ha! I guess…

When the fuck have I pretended to be a victim, you drunken asshat? Way to project your own warped projections of fat people onto me. I am fat. I own it. I am also healthy (yes, it's possible, and I have the blood pressure and cholesterol to prove it), happy, gainfully employed, in love with a man who laughed at your…

Worry about your own problems, dude. Worry about your own body, your own life, your own health, your own fucking drunken habits. Stop worrying about the happy fatass on the internet with a great job, awesome sex life, and loving partner and maybe put down the bottle and try showing up on time to work for a change.…

Why do you have such a vested interest in fat people hating themselves and believing no one will ever love them? Are you fat and lonely and convinced that your fatness is the only reason why? (Clue: It's not your body. It might just be your personality, Mr. Contrarian.) Or are you a former fatty who must reassert your…

Delaware has an accent, but it's only because of their proximity to Maryland and Pennsylvania. The Delaware accent is a Baltimore/Philly hybrid.

Thanks for the insight into my partner (whom you do not know) and our relationship (which you know nothing about) and the opinion of the entire human race (of which you are not sole representative). Hope spouting all that ridiculous bullshit made you feel better about yourself. Now go back to your basement, troll.

You honestly sound like you have little to no practical experience with vaginas, so I'll leave you to you amateur porn now. Bye.

But he's not into women who are as fat as him. So, no, he should not try to find a nice accepting fat chick to teach him about confidence and how to love. We're not stepping stones to Real Women and Real Relationships. If he's not attracted to women his size, he should not be dating them. We're not the fucking kiddie…

Fat women aren't consolation prizes for dudes who can't get anyone else. Why do you think fat chicks are willing to settle for people who are only willing to settle for them? Lots of us have plenty of confidence and have no problem finding romantic partners because, believe it or not, not all fat women are sad,…

I have no idea why I am getting replies and likes for a comment I made forever ago, but dude, you do realize that porn is not real life, right? And before porn stars film, they prepare their bodies? Especially if a scene involves a female porn star being penetrated by a person/object of considerable size? That it…

So... it sucks that the judge wouldn't grant her the continuance and he sounds like a Class A douchebag, but OH MY GOD IS IT EVER UNPROFESSIONAL TO BRING YOUR BABY WITH YOU TO WORK BECAUSE YOU "COULDN'T FIND CHILDCARE." That is very likely what set him off. She lives in a large, metropolitan area. She had a week to…

Re: Ethel's accent. Have you ever been to Philadelphia? Or Baltimore? If not, go there, walk into a Royal Farms or a Wawa or a Cracker Barrel, and you will understand Ethel's accent. White trash with a touch of Pennsylvania Dutch and saying every syllable like you're possibly choking on it.

Right? They're skilled players. Casinos count on people assuming blackjack is a game of chance and run off crying when someone actually uses strategy. It's not a crime. It's a skill. (I certainly can't do that amount of math in my head so kudos to people who can successfully card-count.)

Listen, I'll drop the "angry feminist archetype" when you drop the "wet blanket believes in equality in a vague sort of way, I don't hate women but why are feminists so angry, feminism makes me uncomfortable so I'm a 'humanist' instead of 'feminist,' I don't think women should be subjugated but I don't actively…
