"Your skin is sallow"?

Until you can explain how your M.S. in Education makes you more of an an expert in immunology than the PhD-holding immunologists at the CDC or NIH you really should shut up about it. If anything, it's just evidence that a little knowledge can be dangerous. And that you seriously think developing immunity "naturally"…

With absolutely ZERO self-reflection about what was said. They write stories about how Mindy said it's ridiculous to be asked these questions, without ever pausing and going, "Oh, she said that because we asked those questions!" Like, I would love to see a magazine not publish those quotes at all, and instead say…

I really disagree completely that Mindy's character is unlikable, so I can't buy into the whole premise of the second half of this article at all.

Yeah - again, this would have been a good time to make a strategic decision to go snark OR straight in a piece about the uselessness of XYZ graduate education. Because the result is the appearance of unwillingness to really own your viewpoint (see Nolan, Hamilton for owning your viewpoint for richer or poorer and in…

The original spelling of the name is "Schuyler", anyway. So it's twice bastardized. "Skyler" is pretty much kre8ive spelling.

First time I've ever commented on Jezebel—just to say IT BUGS ME TOO. It's even pronounced Sky-ler. Not Sky-lar. Maybe they're thinking of Mylar?

I've always been confused by the Skyler hate. I think she reacts in a very understandable way to the circumstances she's been dealt. This notion of her being a "harpy" and a "shrew" is so unreasonable! Of COURSE she's going to freak out about her husband cooking meth and getting embroiled in various criminal…

That Lee Daniels remark — about not knowing how smart, intellectual even, Janis Joplin was — leapt out at me, too, for all the wrong reasons. It also prompted me to conclude that he ought to be nowhere near the lead role-casting phase of this film project development, not when he seems so utterly clueless about…

First of all, she can sing well, but she can't sing like Janis Joplin. I've seen her sing in Into the Words - she doesn't even have the same voice type.

Getting a tiny conventionally attractive actress to play Janis is typical, but wrong. I have nothing against Ms. Adams but part of Janis's story is her struggle with her appearance and those that belittled her because of her appearance.

My wife was told very early on in medical school to avoid "I feel like" or "raised inflection at the end" phrasing. So, if you answer a question, you don't say, "The course of treatment is _____." Not "I feel like the course of treatment is ____?"

I have noticed that after I decided not to use this qualifier any longer, which I thought sounded too evasive and self- doubtful ..what often happens is that I will be accused of being "judgmental" ;which is apparently the worst thing in the world for a woman to be these days.I figure though, that it's just another…

it's not just women...

As a therapist, there's another problem with this phrase: it separates people from their feelings even when they are saying that they "feel" something. When people say "I feel like..." they almost always mean "I think," or "I believe." As women, we are taught that we have many ("irrational") emotions that are…

People who are worried that thin-shaming is anywhere near as crippling as fat-shaming, please take this short quiz:

In my opinion, "Thin-shaming" falls under the same category as misandry and reverse-racism. It's not to say that it doesn't happen or that it doesn't exist, but what people need to realize is that when you come from the perspective of the privileged class, there's a huge difference in (pardon the pun) weight being…

I wholeheartedly agree, although I don't believe that she needs to be the mother of a girl necessarily, she can also be the mother of a teenage boy and his friends point it out. Eg: dude, your mum is such a MILF. This was the case in American Pie.

Almost agree with you...but it doesn't need to be the mother of a female, it can just be anybody's mother. But you should essentially be a peer of said mother's child.

That said, I freakin hate the wide-spread usage of this word (acronym), especially by women to refer to themselves. It's just like cougar. A term…

Yes to the second part, but why does it have to be the mother of a girl or woman? In American Pie it was Stifler's mom, and Stifler is a guy.
