In this case, I don’t think not naming the person is another slight. It’s an easily searchable name, but even an apologize is an amplification for someone who doesn’t want a larger profile. Not naming them again is a considerate action here.

Number one rule of book reviewing: Review the book in front of you, not the book you fantasize about reading.

I have not read this book. But it sounds from the review that this is just not the book on the matter that Megan wanted to read. I’m sure, however, it’s exactly the book that Farrow set out to write.

You have to mix them yourself?!?

She was anorexic as a teenager and then got hit by a car and laid up in hospital and had to relearn how to walk. She’s lucky she was able to rebound from this and become who she is today. This got her priorities in order and she understands what celebrity culture and influencers did to give her body issues. She's not…

Jesus, thank you for this. I read that and thought “Did this person literally call a dark brown Indian actress who has been amplifying womanism, queer people and body acceptance a WHITE FEMINIST?”

Oh puleeze. She hasn’t stolen anything, and supporting the tone of this article does nothing to be more inclusive of people of different sizes. Save your white feminism ire for people who deserve it, like maybe white people who wrote this article snarking on a non-white person.

I’m seriously confused by what I’m reading on this site. I’ve never had weight issues, I am tall and thin, and I’ve also never heard the end of it from anyone around me. Women and men have been commenting on my body since I was ten. It’s partly why I’ve never been fat- because I’ve never been allowed to be fat. This…

It’s just our daily proof that no matter what kind of woman you are, everyone will be lining up to take you down. It’s enraging, actually. 

And Jameela herself has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, so kinda checks out! Just chiming in to second your yup.

I feel like Jezebel has become a platform where people write using snark in place of an actual personality or opinion. And it’s getting boring as shit.

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?

“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…

“The body positive movement doesn’t put people with disabilities and other marginalised bodies into the foreground,” writer Rebekah Taussig told the Guardian in a piece on the term. “Body neutrality, I think, has the power to be really useful in particular to people with disabilities, especially those with…

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…

GOD I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! 

Queen.
