You begin by saying you can't excuse it, but your entire comment reads like an excuse/explanation of why this incident wasn't that bad.
It isn't a "my abuse was worse than your abuse!" contest.

Yes, this is all true.
Seriously, why is anyone okay with this? It is her job to shuttle children from home to school and back in a safe fashion. If a child is being unruly she should pull over and call for assistance. She NEVER should have gotten out of her seat, and she NEVER should have laid hands on him. An eight year old having a…
Obligatory posting of 6 minute tracking shot from True Detective. Spoilers yadda yadda
I think the cold weather is making you cranky.
It kind of feels like people would be angry in general. Sometimes Jezebel gets into a shaming shaming vortex where one person criticizing shaming is then criticized as shaming someone else who then is criticized or shamed...round and round.
Now, the biggest loser is fucked up. How she lost weight (155 lbs in 5 months is not healthy). But I feel like everyone reacted so harshly because of the way she looked. 105 lbs for her height is not abnormal. The biggest loser has been subjecting it's contestants to these type of tactics since the first season, yet…
Jezebel, you're really starting to sound like that jealous girl. You feign concern and your ability to see all sides of a situation, but really you are just belittling a woman who worked really hard to accomplish what she did. You're also probably accomplishing the exact opposite of what you claim you're trying to…
For body shaming consistency it's either missing an adjective, or has one it shouldn't.
She went from 260 pounds to a gaunt 105 pounds to win the show.
Do you think Jezebel needs to stop posting about this goddamn story?
You use the word "gaunt" to describe her, in an article decrying shaming people for their size? Nice work, lady.
... so we're going to body shame her because she's too thin. Brilliant.
I can't find the link (googling Walmart workers walk just gets me results on people who were on strike) but there was a story in the last year or so about how workers in the Walmart warehouses and distribution centers walk an average of 13 miles per day. They're tracked on how far they go and they're under a lot of…
Oh god, there was a time period where I used sprunch spray probably every day. I remember that shit was so sticky it clogged the nozzle every time you used it so you had to run it under hot water the next day and pick at it with a safety pin. Good times.
Shh, people just want to hear that walking is abnormal and sitting behind a desk all day is the way to live your life.
All of this.
Bingo.
The irony isn't lost on me that only a few days ago there was an article on this site about how people need to stop over-analyzing this woman's health based on how she looks. Is she exercising too much? Is she too thin? That's for her and her doctor to figure out.
