Agreed. You get what you pay for, I guess.

Sorry to blow the scoop, but there have been quite a few people who have done this, and not surprisingly if they keep it up very long they die. Instead of it being a bit of gossip about the crazy girl in the crazy cult, it would be useful to see it for what it is — rationalization for anorexia because of our…

There is a really interesting dynamic how women are always referred to as 'girls' no matter their age (yeah, that sales girl who sold you the computer! Oh, you mean the woman who sold me my computer!) except for cases like these when they suddenly become women no matter their age.

The "something didn't smell right,"was that literal or figurative?

I agree. In my case, the yelling is always quick like a "Stop" or "That is enough" to get them to pay attention to me. Then I'll separate them, and deal with each one rationally, explaining what the hell they were doing wrong, and doling out time outs/consequences if needed.

Yeah, you can't just make sweeping claims like this and pretend they're factual, particularly if you're not going to provide any evidence.

Because we're not dumb or tasteless enough to compare slave labor to people voluntarily engaging in a fundraiser for an organization they benefit from? What the fuck is wrong with you that you'd ever see those as comparable?

Yes, they absolutely are bullshit. Sending the message that, the only way to be "beautiful," one must be blonde, big breasted and weigh 90lbs is total and utter bullshit.

Because some of us can choose to hide the things that make us discriminated against and others can't.

I totally agree. things like billboards are a lot more offensive (than t-shirts that no one but a tool would wear) because they're so ubiquitous

Piers Morgan is, and has always been, a shitty liberal. My surprise is that you liked him in the first place; whenever his name comes up on any of my heathen liberal blogs, any Brits in attendance apologize for sending him to us (or ridicule us for giving him ratings).

I hope Stephen mocks him next episode! I would tune in for that.

I hate to feed into the stereotype, but I feel this feel.

Or, you know, free X-Box for something you were going to buy anyway.

For what it's worth, I read the post as you mocking her too, so at least two of us read it that way, whether or not that was your intent.

sometimes Jezebel and it's whole 'sex positive sexism is liberation y'all' gets on my nerves. I'm a woman. You know what, I don't fit those beauty ideals and I never will. There is nothing I can do to even slightly look like that. But I've grown up standing at the bus stop for school with my male classmates under…

I may not agree with her puritanical intentions, but I agree with her outrage. It's absolutely degrading to see images like these on someone else's t-shirt. It's not a personal expression of sexy - it's a commercialised exploit, and a constant reminder that in our society women are still viewed as more objects than…

It's not the being a servant that is degrading, it's the being treated like shit that is degrading.

Yeah, I am also not questioning her experience. I fully believe it could be less degrading to do porn than to work at Wal Mart. But it does not in any way change how I feel about porn . . . it just reminds me of how much I also hate Wal Mart.

I know you're like the queen here and I'll probably catch on fire for arguing with you but don't presume you know how anti-porn feminists think. You think they don't know that minimum wage jobs can be demeaning? All jobs can be demeaning. Doesn't mean that everything is hunky dory with porn.
