Did you actually see Spy? I loved it specifically because it wasn’t fat jokes or self deprecation. The whole point of the movie was that she was the one that was the most capable, far more than Jude Law or Jason Statham. Everyone underestimated her, yeah, but she was the only competent one. It was so refreshing to see…

I didn’t see Identity Thief, or the Hangover, but her characters in Bridesmaids, Spy, and The Heat were actually really competent and good at their jobs, and I don’t remember many of the jokes being about her weight. I loved Spy, especially. Her character was so badass.

Yeah, it sounds like you didn’t actually watch the movie. The point of it is that McCarthy’s character Susan is OVERqualified for the position but lets long-standing self-confidence issues get in the way. At one point, she slams a dude into the ground by throwing him using his jaw. Statham’s character is the bumbling…

So basically just being fat on screen is a “fat joke” to you? You have a much different sense of humor than I do apparently

That’s OK. Have you tried 68-ing? or Maybe 67?

Thank Jebus the article specified that these women are twin sisters. I was thinking for a second “wow...all white people really do look alike” and was a bit embarrassed until I read the article.

Oh ya, this reminds me of the time I was issued an ultimatum too.

Let’s be ninja-moms! No one has to know!

I have two giant fibroids that didn’t interfere with conception (which was immediate) or pregnancy at all, but they plus a really tall baby who was low and in front meant I showed early and a lot. I got So. Much. Trolling. from random strangers that it made me afraid to leave the house. Even from pregnant strangers,…

I’m seriously considering having a stealth pregnancy and only going out to see the doctor. I can be an awesome hermit for nine months. I have Amazon prime and Netflix, so I think I’m covered.

“Emergency! Help! There’s something desperately wrong with my baby!”

I mean, that's pretty much what my stomach looks like and the only thing I'm pregnant with is lunch so

What’s happening here?

That is the most excellent made-up username.

I read it the same way as you. Humanism is great. Feminism is an important component of humanism. Humanism is a general process of thought and behavior, while feminism is using those behaviors specifically to combat sexism.

I feel like there are so many feminist stakeholders and they all want something different out of feminism. I’m not sure how willing they are to fight for all things under the third wave umbrella. Maybe it’s not only the celebrities who are doing this pick and choose grocery shop feminsm, maybe it’s all of us.

I agree. I’ll make fun of someone who has silly reasons for not identifying as a feminist (e.g. “I’m not a feminist because I don’t hate men”) but it sounds like she might be saying feminism can exclude women of color and LGBT women, which is a pretty decent reason not to use the term.
