I appreciate the sentiment here, but I think you should have stopped your comment at: there is no shame in formula. Even if your breasts are magical fountains of milky goodness. Even if your child's lips on your nipples feel like kitten tickles. Even if every time you breastfeed, an angel gets its wings. You don't…

Exactly. I would also say that until school funding is put under the purview of state government, as opposed to local government, and distributed from a central state fund, you're always going to have awesome schools in rich districts and crappy schools in poor ones. You can't change people —- folks are always going…

I just want to say that you're the most eloquent 14 year old I've heard from in a while. Your observation — "I'm a child until men think I'm sexually attractive" — was dead on. Keep writing, sister.

Yes. Yes. This. At what point does protecting mean turn into infantilizing them? It's just feminism gone so far round the bend that it's coming back around as patriarchy. Holy crap. If a woman says 'yes' and she's not you know, crying or being held down, then it's a 'yes'. Because she's a rational person who can make…

I love you. I really do.

I would find your argument convincing if she had made a montage of herself eating broccoli and deadlifting or something and put "What's your excuse?" at the bottom. She would still suck, but maybe less. Maybe. But she didn't do that. She posed herself in spandex with her nice shiny abs and her three cute drool…

Nope! Nope nope nope nope nope. Kang has three kids under the age of 4 and is thin and fit with crazy abs. Good for her! That's great. But the idea that her success is achievable for EVERYONE is part of the problem here.

Yes. It's like being an alcoholic who can't quit drinking because you need alcohol to live.

Yeah I was thinking that. The paleo folks probably wouldn't approve of the gluten biscuits, but given the total insanity surrounding diets back in the day (stop drinking water! Roll on the floor like a puppy! Oxygen makes you fat?!!?) it actually looks pretty reasonable and sort of paleo.

!!!! He was one of my first crushes too!

Well, thanks. I didn't bring money to buy lunch today, but it's no longer a problem after viewing that!

I just ordered several new pairs of jeans from Express for this exact reason.

Me too. I'm sad that it wasn't him. I love him.

I agree. This person is bananas, and not in the good Gwen Stefani kind of way. I have a job in which I frequently deal with people with mental disorders. I'm not a doctor but after a while you learn to spot them. So. Maybe some sort of personality disorder? I dunno, but this goes beyond dbag.

Ditto. I had heard this before.

Nah, that's not the point. The point is that when you decide to date someone, you're starting from a point of "Hey there, your body is OK with me!" Right? Otherwise, why would you date them? So what Landis did violates the basic contract that people have with each other when they date — that each one is OK with how…

Oh God, I originally wrote 'your' instead of 'you're'. I've become everything I've ever hated!

YES. Good fucking God. I hated being pregnant enough without everyone treating me like my brain cells had all leaked out of my ears the moment my kids were conceived. There's just a giant list of stuff you can't do, no one tells you why you can't do it, and if you ask for explanation — really? why no coffee? Really?…

Also, I just want to say: I don't know you or your mom (she sounds pretty awesome, by the way). And I'm sorry for her loss.

Yeah.
