When all the 40-year-old moms are being celebrating for rocking this look, we can call it empowering. I’ll wait for you to call me and let me know.

Same in Texas. But after MLK Day became a federal holiday, our state government changed the official state holiday from “Robert E. Lee Day” to “Confederate Heroes Day.”

WOMEN NO LONGER GIVE A FUUUUUUCK.

This actually makes me happy. Because I hate that show. And that stupid Garrison Keillor show. It’s like radio programming for people in St. Olaf. Glad their preciousness was interrupted by a vulgar pop culture icon. Good.

Most of these young porn-defending Third Wavers will change their tune when they age our of their beauty privilege. Some will cling to youth and self-sexualization for crumbs from the patriarchy, getting plastic surgery, etc.

Jezebel makes me sad. It’s a sad place.

As a 5’ tall woman who currently weighs 160 pounds, I am 100% certain that Schumer don’t way no 160 pounds. Unless she’s also 5’0”.

Cosigned on all counts.

Cosigned, all of this.

We share the same philosophy. And my stepmom has the same issues as your mom, only she’s much more overweight. She’s been doing fad diets for the past 30 years (at which time she was maybe 5-10 pounds overweight!). Now she’s “allergic” to gluten and is on the GF bandwagon even though multiple endocrinologists have…

I’m also an atheist who has tried a lot of these fads. I never had weight problems, really, until well after college, so I think I was just kind of in denial and looking for a structure to help me eat in a balanced way without all the striving and self denial and obsession most chronic dieters experience. And, yet,…

Best wishes for your continued health! I am in a similar boat, but I’m 10+ years out of undergrad and have continued to gain that 3 pounds a year... at 5’0”, this is untenable. I now need to lose a good deal of weight.

Cue all the self-congratulatory corset fetishists arriving in the comments. #corsetsplaining

I don’t get this. At all.

I think this post pushed me over into Trying-It territory, too. Especially since I finally switched from washing my face exclusively with Dove soap for the past 20+ years (thanks again, Jez) to a proper skincare regimen, and my skin has improved a bit as a result.

How much of the resistance to just shaving this shit…

I’m a Southern WASP, and I agree 100%. My people need to STFU. For at least 400 years. Minimum.
