Because bitches, man.

Doesn't pointing out that over half of the population earns less than half of income kind of answer that for you?

If I could think of a social advantage women have that men don't I would answer you, but it doesn't exist, so I can't.

I’m married, under 30, and currently unemployed (ie not paying my own bills) and I’m going to have to say feminism is working pretty fucking well for me too. There’s something ‘off’ about that poster’s logic...

That can’t have been the only reason they had their kids taken away???? Can it? How fucked up would a play have to be to have your children removed from your care?

I lived in LA for years and the only time I encountered that sort of behavior was with models or actresses. I never noticed it being an issue for people outside of the ‘industry’, but if you are part of the TV/film/music industry I could definitely see that being an issue in daily life.

As silly as that sounds it is still all about context. When I was 12 I was a size 6 and looked very ‘pudgy’ because I have an incredibly little frame. I think it’s as difficult to say that clothing size is indicative of weight/shape as it is BMI for overall health. There’s so much variation in sizing and body shape...

Who though? I’ve seen plenty of people share the comment that ‘Marilyn Monroe was a size 13’ but those were vintage sizes. A size modern day 4/6 would be the equivalent of a vintage size 13. When Monroe’s wardrobe went on tour they had to specially construct mannequins that could fit her tiny waist and large bust.…

I agree. I'm pretty slim/skinny as an adult but in my head I'm still kind of a fat kid. It took almost a decade to stop automatically grabbing larger sizes in stores out of habit and without realizing that I was no longer a heavy person.

Also fat? I posted above but ‘fat’ is so subjective (barring obvious extremes on either side of the scale). I’ve seen ‘fat’ 135 and ‘skinny’ 235. It depends on how you feel, how you carry your weight, what you consider your ‘ideal’ etc...

I think it depends on how you carry your weight. I used to be 5’2 and 165lbs and at the time I felt ‘chubby’ verging on kind of fat. Most of my heavier friends considered me ‘thin’ or at least ‘thinish’ but in general most people didn’t seem to believe what my actual size/weight was because I carried it very…

We did this as teenagers, I think it's big with alcoholics too?

My mom had a friend named Tangerine who had a daughter named Peaches...surprisingly enough, the poor choices in that family did not end with the naming practices.

I think pregnancy can drive people crazy. I mean we’ve all heard of pregnancy brain and lack of memory plus you’re growing a human inside of you...I wouldn’t be surprised if that fucked up some people’s decision making.

Surprisingly being the gay brother of a celebrity does NOT make him an expert on an issue he's being interviewed about...or informed...or logical. Weird. I expect more from my tangentially famous gay celebrity siblings.

EVEN Bigger. She has created this weird entire facial twist/smile that is at once grotesque and amazingly condescending.

I’m 32 and I’ve had salesmen ask me if my ‘parents are home’. I'm short though, so it might not be just my youthful glow.

My mom was 4’11 and the last year she took me trick or treating she wore a cheerleader costume and stood to the side so my costume (zombie cheerleader) would look cool. Every house we went to would whisper to me ‘does your shy friend want some candy?’ She was like 45? Maybe 46?

I agree. I agree 100%. I’ve known a few women who were sexually abused and all three have multiple instances from different offenders from childhood until their twenties. It’s like the men could sense they were vulnerable or something.

I think she will be interviewed a few times (paid of course) but she’s not attractive, charming, clever, or even aggravatingly ‘likable’. Hell, she’s not even the type ‘you love to hate’, she’s just kind of there so I can’t see any news network spending much time on her after the flush of excitement weans.
