“As the body positivity movement, which began with the radical fat acceptance movement of the 1960s, has been co-opted recently by women of totally socially-acceptable, skinny shapes and sizes who think the movement is just for anyone who feels good or wants to show off their armpit hair”

Jameela Jamil, patron saint of reminding the world that we live in a superficial and sexist society as if she were the first to discover that, is taking her “activism” in a slightly different direction.

I came here to say this exactly. Why is Jez suddenly hating on every woman who speaks out on something, regardless of whether it’s a good or bad message?

This is the second day in a row that this site has thrown shade - or in this case blatant criticism - at Jameela Jamil.  She is one of the few celebrities using their platform to bring attention to how our culture judges women on their size and this site picks her to focus on?  Did she kick your puppy?

“has been co-opted recently by women of totally socially-acceptable, skinny shapes and sizes who think the movement is just for anyone who feels good or wants to show off their armpit hair”...You guys know that Jameela has a history of eating disorders since childhood, right? And that she was severely fat-shamed by…

Forget? They know they did and that’s one of the million reasons why they’re comfortable fucking people over. The state itself is willing to give them billions of dollars if they have a bad day. The workers are dependent on them for the medical care they and their families need to live. Corporations like GM have…

Hazel, have you ever written anything about a woman that didn’t start with hateful sarcastic statements? I don’t see what warrants a post this long and pissy for doing something relatively innocuous. Honestly, are you okay? It's not healthy to be so bitter all the time.

Man, people really can’t win. Jameela Jamil has been saying mostly the right things for a long time, and backs it up by taking celebrities who hawk dangerous ideas and products to task. So she’s not the first to say these things, does that mean she shouldn’t say them? Or that she deserves this snotty recap of her…

“Jameela Jamil, patron saint of reminding the world that we live in a superficial and sexist society as if she were the first to discover that, is taking her “activism” in a slightly different direction.”

Yikes, why all the snark? Jameela makes mistakes and then apologizes and learns.  Isn’t that what we want from…

How quickly GM forgets that it wouldn’t even exist if it didn’t receive government assistance during the recession.

FINALLY! This has been going on for years! People kept saying, “Well, those young black men chose to use meth, so it’s their fault.” Regardless, meth is still illegal, so there were ways the police could’ve taken action against the survivor/supplier. If we’re locking away people for “marijuana residue,” then certainly…

I would honestly believe he’d think something like “No new Mexicans!  I’m still trying to get rid of all the old ones!”

Her message of not being afraid is really resonating. She’s persisting her way into the nomination.

Yo, Warren is popping in the national polls, to say nothing of how well she’s doing in the early primaries:

Well for starters you gotta keep in mind that Saudi Arabia is already spread pretty thin what with the attempted genocide in Yemen so they are gonna need a little help if they’re going to be able to commit additional atrocities across the Persian Gulf in Iran. Saudi Arabia’s navy is pretty small(especially for a rich…

Just in case anybody was wondering what malignant narcissism with a cult following looks like

I’m sure whichever dentist with a racehorse fetish who glued those into her mouth told her it would make her mouth look bigger.

Yeah. I mean clearly they are making a statement that says: LOOK KIDS GOT SHOT AT THESE SCHOOLS. Which I guess is a statement if you’re being generous. But what kind of asshole wears it? Only the kind of asshole who wants people to think they’re edgy, like you say.
