Oh dude, I totally agree. I think being photoshopped feels empowering on a very surface level, but people don't really know anything better, since that's what we're surrounded by. That's what's portrayed as empowering and sheeple don't think about it much. Real empowerment is not needing that to feel good about…

I mean, I agree with you to some extent—that sometimes things are taken over the top. But especially in the looks department, women (and men, but less so) are CONSTANTLY being told they don't look good enough and that they need to change. Honestly, it's super exhausting and defeating. So I guess if you have the…

I'm the only woman living in a house with four dudes between the ages of 21 and 26, most of which have some body image issues of their own. And since I certainly do...

Yeah, in some ways, I think it's good because now at least there's SOME body variety in playboy (i.e. Kate Moss doesn't have huge fake tits), but it's still celebrating very thin white women.

Agreed. That being said, I love basically all parts of men, so I don't know if it counts haha!

I've only noticed this happen to me once, and I really wish I had had the courage to call this dude out for taking pictures of me and other women on the subway. I commend you. Honestly, I was scared. In retrospect, I don't know what I was scared OF, considering it was a full train, but I guess it goes to show how…

I'm sorry, but my dude friends don't really touch me, let alone KISS MY FOREHEAD.

Dude, you are so spot on with my opinion, I am blown away. (I'm female and early 20s). I certainly don't consider it a gendered term, and I think that your point about earning attention is extremely valid. Somebody who makes great music, or is a terrific sports player, or a masterful computer programmer, is not an…

I can TOTALLY relate. I had a roommate who would go on and on about how great having big boobs are...how she prided herself on having the biggest ones in our apartment. And when the national average is a C cup (WHAT!?), no other part of my body has ever made me feel as inadequate as a woman than my breasts (or…

Yeah..I just bawled my eyes out. I mean, obviously it's a happy story, but very much Daily Cry, no?

Wow...his beard makes him look..SUPER HOT

Maybe she's trying to dance while on the machine? Dangerously?

I can't say I've read any scholarly articles, but I have certainly heard by word of mouth that there are plenty of chemicals in makeup that are harmful to your health. The breast cancer fund has a list of just a few:

Agreed. It took me 23 seconds before I said "this is bullshit" and turned it off.

They'd let you go (although you might have to apply more than once since they lost a bunch of money). I went and there were people who lied about being Jewish on the trip. Most people have a wonderful time. I did not. I mean, don't get me wrong, Israel is an amazing and spiritual place even for me, somebody who…

AGREED. There's nothing like that big smile to put you right in the moment. They heal by happiness contagion.

It would never occur to you that I'm not super interested in what you have to say and therefore didn't even look at your comment until today—that I have better things to do than looking at what I knew would be an inflammatory response. I'm sorry I looked at all. Your comments have been irrelevant to the topic at…

Stop trolling. I made a short comment and you replied to try and rile me up (twice). Guess what; neither of them worked. I'm not offended by you. It's sad that you're so insecure with yourself that you feel you need to attack me. You don't know me at all. I truly hope that you can get over whatever feeling of…

Totally. Personally I'm sick of ALL the 'body issues' because I think they stem from things just like these tabloids. If they hadn't pointed that out on Kim Kardashian, would other women be looking in the mirror thinking "well, hey, I have that armpit 'fat' problem too." To me what is very frustrating is that no…

Honestly, it's not always because of ill-fitting bras (although I'm sure that's an enormous contributing factor). Part of it is simply genetic! I'm average weight, with smaller than average boobs, and I still have that (what my Jewish mother calls "the blubbas"). They run in my family. And they're so natural! …
