Thanks for the kind words! I hope that one day I can be confident enough to wear shorty shorts and skirts without tights. I do love everything else about myself.
I don't intend to defend a jerk but all were saying everyone has cellulite and I was thinking yes but maybe it's not visible. It's something that has bugged…

So just to recap and correct me if I'm wrong, your basic point is it's ok for women to be happy with our bodies and even show them off, but we just have to remember that we repulse men if we don't fit a very narrow beauty standard.

So? Why would you even come here and say that, what purpose does that serve if you don't…

But...these books were fanfic, to begin with. So they took quite a bit less "work and imagination" than a lot of other books. I think that's a big part of the Jez snark. Also...misogyny. Yes, I've read them. Not all of them, because I found them genuinely hard to read for quality of writing and general shudders. I…

Hey dude. Fellow dude here. I find Kim Kardashian's ass pretty banging. Kim Kardashian has cellulite. Cellulite being ugly is not some rule handed down from on high. It's a social convention. There is literally no such thing as an objectively attractive human body. Doesn't exist.

I just don't understand. What is the point with this guy? "I am an awful person and I'm here to make an awful comment in an attempt to make you feel awful." Why? Just go away.

Not every woman...just 90%. You like facts?

It's not about being a beautiful, special snow flake; it's the opposite, in fact, since the point is, cellulite is so, so common in women of all sizes and ages and has little to do with factors you can control. And being ashamed of something that is extremely common, that you cannot control is stupid, no? I'm thin and…

This isn't about the perils of negatively contrasting one's own arse with a 'better' arse in a straight man's line of sight, it's about women accepting and normalizing their own bodies and each others'. Why are you making it all about you and your dick's opinion? You sound awful, but you know that already, trolololol…

EDs are lifelong struggles. Don't lose sight of what you're working towards. I don't believe in backwards. We zigzag, but we don't go back.

"It's not like the franchise owners are raking in the big bucks and just not sharing it.."

This just breaks my heart. I hope you can find ways to access the support you need to heal, get healthy and move forward. I am sorry the system is set up to fight disorders like yours all the way. I hope every day for change. All my best to you.

Any place that is not paying you enough money to afford the cost of living in that city is doing it wrong. Your workers can't work for you if they have no home to go to because your paycheck isn't enough to cover rent and/or food.

No one's demanding enough money to buy a brand new Audi every year, people are…

I would say it's equal to this lyric in the original song: "I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two."

I am rooting so hard for her to succeed this time, but even if that does not happen Diana Nyad is an inspiration. Good luck out there!

This is perhaps a little tangential to what your post was about but am I the only LGBT'er that finds the whole "how to be a good ally" discourse to be so stupid, exclusionary and ultimately totally arbitrary? Some people are hypersensitive, some people are unusually laid back, some people float somewhere in the…

This song actually has a lesbian singing the chorus, who so happens to also have personal experience with this. He's speaking of a personal situation he experienced and how that doesn't make him qualified to write about his own life is sort of beyond me. He originally wrote the song to help bring awareness to a…

Macklemore wrote this song to help support the passage of I74 in Washington State, which legalized same-sex marriage. I think he has every right to sing about an issue that affects people he loves.

that's an adorable picture ^_^

That was *awesome*.

there is no way the anisten home wasn't cruciferous fart central! My boyfriend got me eating kale and that stuff is great for you but man can it leave a haze in the air! And I've got nothing on my boyfriend who kale farts on me nightly (while sleeping, I'm not saying this is recreational :P). Last night I had a…
