Because being judgy makes you AGE, right? Isn’t that, like, science?

WTF is this comment?

Well to be fair, Cheryl Tiegs is sixty-eight now, a full 40 years older than the target of her preposterous sniping. I don’t want to hate on her because she’s no longer young and lush and ... jesus christ look at Ashley Graham’s FACE. Sorry, got distracted. Anyway. I will, however, hate on her for being a…

Also I think you mean “dinged” or possibly “disdained,” not “deigned.” Also, heartily concur with all the comments regarding what a flaming sack of shit Dr. Oz is. Ugggghhhhh.

I really think people should stop criticizing Sam Smith for what was a simple and understandable slip of the tongue. And I can say that with a little bit of gravitas as the first openly gay man on the internet.

Hrm, well Hills, sounds like a lot of people are down on this series, but I like it!

I think the audience is probably young feminists who are trying to figure out how hard a line they need to draw against chivalry / traditional gender roles in order to have an 'acceptable' feminist relationship.

Its becoming pretty obvious you've never ridden a train in Boston. You have to actively work to be unaware of your fellow riders.

Lmao THE CALL WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!

And how do we know that you're not the crying woman?!

Also, everyone who mentions the Orange line seating is right—-the benches face one another so what happened was in full view of other passengers. However, I was about equidistant from scene as the people in the opposite bench were. When he said his comment to her, he faced her and leaned in. You'd have to have really…

"Consider what might motivate a person to be so tireless in "setting the record straight"."

But...that's someone's body. A lot of people have little control over that body size (if any at all-hello fellow tall people!) Or if they do have "control", they're likely still in the process of losing weight. Either way, fat people are human, and humans need to do things like ride the train. Are they supposed to…

I'm sure you're correct and this responder is absolutely the man who insulted the woman you are defending. Good for you for sticking up for someone in that situation, however I am starting to get very annoyed by the term snowflake. I have to assume you were mentioning a white person, no? My father is white and my…

I have to disagree, I feel like most human beings lean towards doing the opposite of what a stranger tells them to do in such situations. At least most of the people I know would probably turn the volume up in response. I'd be tempted as hell. Then again I wouldn't be playing it over the external speakers.

Nope, sorry; if the speakers are playing to the air instead your ears only, it's selfish regardless. You have no way of knowing if the person sitting beside you has tinnitus, being aggravated by the shitty little speaker beeping away.

I agree with you but the orange line has bench seats that face each other, so there would be no "rows" so it's entirely possible she squeezed in a small space, while also being possible that the poster overheard [if it's not wacklemore] I think he meant front row seat in the metaphorical sense.

It's not cool to throw any of those things out, but it is understandable. I've had it happen to me ( specifically the word spic and being called a "fat broad"). Easy blows are easy blows. They get the work done if your goal is to make someone cry or get them angry.

Well, the rebuttal from the original poster (screencapped by someone here in the comments) doesn't deny any part of this "witness" story. Instead, it basically just says "So what if she was acting like a jerk, you still shouldn't fat shame her."

Perhaps this woman was the worst commuter ever, but the immediate response of the man sitting next to her (to shame her for her weight, rather than her behavior) and subsequent blowback speaks to a much larger issue.
