No.

Last time I flew Delta/Air France I got to fly British Airways first class home because they cancelled the flight I paid for resulting in such a clusterfuck they had to start buying people seats on other airlines. My bags arrived five days later.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, F U C K Y O U American Airlines.

Except aren't they discovering that more long term neurological damage similar to Alzheimer's can occur in adults with Zika?

I think for actors and athletes it is a little different because these are the products and tools of their profession. The Kardashian-Jenners exist in a nore ambiguous space of “lifestyle” professionals, so it isnt clear whether it’s a thing from their personal lives or a paid endorsement. (I assume everything they do…

Since porn doesn't exist in a vacuum, it's not as simple as that. Because pornographic imagery itself has been co-opted, intent doesn't matter.

Except that art (imagery, I'm not saying porn is art) has historically been a powerful tool for social change so...no? That's not how it works, sorry.

Oh, so you’re an art historian now too? I’m sorry but you don’t know the first thing about how art produces meaning in culture, judging by some of your other comments. You cannot possibly claim to know what prehistoric art you didn’t even know existed did or did not mean.

Are you also against gun control, by this logic?

The social structures that support rape culture have changed over time.

For context, I’m speaking as someone whose dad was an elite and then a college gymnastics coach before I was born. He flat out would not let me do gymnastics because of my body. I basically put myself into ballet in an act of rebellion and fought my body my entire career, which caused no small amount of emotional and…

It depends. Stuff like gymnastics and ballet are hard on the body even at a recreational level. To engage in training that would cause coaches to be concerned about your body type seems unnecessary for a recreational level of commitment. There are other sports and activities you can try to develop your character. If a…

Same. In End of the Perfect 10 she even talks about Little Girls in Pretty Boxes and how things have changed from then.

Her brother is blind. China isn’t great at accommodations for disabilities in poor rural areas. She supports her family.

That book is pretty outdated. Or at least, it no longer applies. The landscape has changed a lot since the 90s.

If you accept that certain body types are better suited, maybe unsuitable body types just shouldn't do those sports? We don't all get what we want sometimes.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic because this literally is the question. And these athletes want to win. What's so great about normal? You can work that out later.

What’s so great about being normal, average people? These athletes are extraordinary. Did you ever consider it’s worth it to them?

I think Marta was a lot more reasonable than Bela.
