Conversely, just because you don't have a complex about what you eat doesn't mean a lot of people don't. Like, a really, really large amount of people. You're equating "this doesn't apply to me" with "this is bullshit".

As you can see, I demonstrate that I am smarter than everyone else by posting my comments multiple times, for effect. ;)
Telling someone they're beautiful and smart doesn't have to mean telling them they're better than everyone else. Just because one person is beautiful and smart doesn't mean plenty of other people aren't beautiful and smart as well.
You don't have to tell someone they're better than everyone else when you tell them they're beautiful and smart. One person being beautiful and smart doesn't mean that lots of other people aren't beautiful and smart as well.
I really don't see what's fucked up about a daughter knowing that her father thinks she's beautiful. He's not attaching any requirements to it, like "you're beautiful when you wear that makeup", or "you're beautiful because you're so thin". Telling her she's beautiful the way she is, no matter what, is a good thing. I…
It'd be a good rule of thumb to just pay attention to how often you compliment a girl's appearance, and think about whether it's more often than you would/do say the same about a boy's appearance. My parents told me I was beautiful, and my brothers they were handsome, in about equal amounts. They also complimented…
. . . . .thank you. Just thank you.
My best friend HATES Kindles and will rant to anyone who will listen about how they are going to be the downfall of civilization. Apparently his brothers are the only people on earth who have not heard this rant, and they got him one. Now he is torn between how nice it was of them to buy him one, and the fact that he…
Bahahaha. I love this comment because I was sort of expecting it to go the "if my friends and family hadn't told me, I'd still be fat!' route, but then it went in the most wonderful direction.
What about the whole thing with Pam going to art school? Karen vying for the job at corporate? Jan getting fired? Also, most of the interesting stuff that happens to the characters on the show are relationship-based, because they all work an incredibly boring job and there's not much else exciting that happens when…
What I'm thinking is that as people lose the expectation that they MUST get married because everyone does, fewer people will enter marriages they aren't sure about because they really want to marry. People will start to make the choice to get married only if they are really, really, really sure about it, because why…
I will be very interested to see if divorce rates start to decline along with marriage rates.
You're so right. That's when an ugly person enters my line of vision I ask them to please put a bag over their head. It's the least they can do.
Thank god you're here to tell me how I should dress!
Um, guys? All you guys who really, really hate it when people wear sweatpants in public? Do you need, like, a list of other things to care about? I could make a list, if you need one. It'd be pretty long.
I dunno, man. RON PAUL is the current frontrunner. RON PAUL. I really think she could get the nomination. Romney is the only somewhat viable candidate right now and they clearly HATE him (Ron Paul?!?!)
I'm referring more to the comments more than the article. See the two right below this one, for instance. I recognize that that pervasive problem exists, in feminism and in other activist communities, but that doesn't mean activism is just a way for rich white people to amuse themselves. I have no problem with people…
Can everyone making blanket "activism is for rich people" statements spend 20 minutes reading about the history of worker's rights, civil rights, criminal justice, environmental justice and immigration organizing, and come back with some perspective? Just because the only activists you know are rich punk kids doesn't…
There have been exactly three times in my life when a guy I was involved with cried in front of me. They were:
