That was definitely my first thought, as well.

There's only one way to find out!
I agree, but I don't see the point of singling out Jezebel when just about every other news/tabloid/gossip site is doing the same. :-\
Your comments on here are just fantastic, please feel free to keep sharing!
Pshh yeah, everyone knows it's the Google.
I'm sure you're right. There were also tons of photos of her posted over the past couple of months in designer clothes, with a Louis Vuitton bag, etc. It all adds up, and quickly, I'm sure.
It's click-bait, and yes, the tone is unfortunate, but it's not women- or Jezebel-specific. Lots of heinous shit is spewed incessantly over at Gawker (specifically in the comments, but there are problematic articles, too), so I'm not sure what your point is.
That shit is expensive.
I agree. I bought the book after reading several really fawning reviews, and was extremely disappointed by how clichéd it was, and how lame the ending was. I was expecting something dark and disturbing, but found it over-written, not particularly compelling and boring. I didn't even find the two characters to be very…
Agreed on all points.
You can tell it's not because her eyes remain open.
Yeah, no. That's the defense people who are clearly fat shaming like to hide behind—"but I wasn't talking about regular 'fat' people, just the morbidly obese ones!" Since you lumped all fat acceptance under an umbrella and said that the former "promotes" obesity, it's clear you are being disingenuous, or at best, that…
My mother is exactly the same. She was very petite when she was young—never above a size 4—and had two daughters who took after our father's side of the family (which is to say, busty, and more of a natural 8-10 who both gain weight pretty easily if we don't watch it). I was a chubby kid whereas my sister was a…
There's a continuum, and I think you're being willfully disingenuous. Plenty of people are slightly overweight, or 30 pounds overweight, and it doesn't affect their health in any noticeable way, nor is it necessarily that noticeable. Being accepting of regular bodies is not in fact promoting obesity—promoting obesity…
Seriously, wtf. All the people shrilly decrying anyone overweight are clearly a bunch of insecure assholes, because it's pretty easy to be 5-20 pounds overweight without being "obese" or even looking like one's overweight. Bodies are different and people carry weight differently. The idea that everyone has the time or…
Fair enough. I saw an MRA-ish sentiment in your comment and am glad that was not your intention (specifically that in a "matriarchy" women excoriate other women for their actions, etc.).
I think female teachers are in the news more often, and that they're probably more brazen because of the unfortunate notion that young men can't be taken advantage of. I personally went to high school with a girl who ended up marrying her teacher, and he was not punished because they were careful and didn't go public…
Any homemade good that tastes like a Chicken McNugget is an unquestionable fail.
As someone that just hated the whole "Hannah Montana" bullshit, I think this new and improved Miley is absolutely delightful.
Amen. What a terrible age.
