"It was a satirical group."

I saw a documentary once about "fat fetishes" (in quotes because it shouldn't be a fucking fetish to like fat women) and a lot of the men featured, and a lot of the women in talking about men they used to date, pretty much admitted that men feel shamed for liking women outside of the mainstream. Like even if a young

If you could get boys and girls in a safe environment to honestly and seriously talk about their insecurities and curiosities, that would be great. I imagine such opportunities don't happen that often, and you couldn't just walk into a classroom and create that sort of trust and honesty and serious introspection in a

Right? Having been a teenage boy fairly recently, if I was told "You have to talk about what you find most attractive in a woman in front of a group of teenage girls, to fix their self esteem issues. Don't fuck this up." I would have been scared shitless.

I'm going to approach this from the other direction and say that in addition to everything else that's been said, it would ALSO be putting an unreasonable expectation on teenage boys to be responsible for managing the feelings of teenage girls, in addition to their own. Like, what the fuck?

The cute boy who sits in front of me in biology told me he finds other boys attractive, so I grew a dick! My self esteem has never been higher.

YES. You assumed you were ugly throughout high school, despite evidence to the contrary because of your mom's freakout about your changing body during adolescence, not limited to whining to your pediatrician about why you weighed so much, telling you to always wear long sleeves because you're arms are too fat, and

"An increase in fat on hips, thighs and bottoms is not only natural but good for girls because it is appealing to males"

Ok but that's not professional staff behavior. I think unprofessional behavior of the staff when interacting CAN (And did) impact a customer's experience, and I dont see why they shouldnt mention it.

Then why, exactly, did she just say it wasn't any more complicated? You can't have a more nuanced conversation if one side is insisting that the issue is merely that people haven't seen their bumper sticker before.

Emma, you don't have an intersectional feminism if you can't admit that there's a little bit more to feminism than "just believing in equality." Saying that there are no valid reasons for not identifying as feminist, only misogynistic reasons, broadcasts how little you know about feminism and its history of

But seriously, "weakness, sweating, or fatigue" is a ludicrously unhelpful constellation of symptoms and a triage nightmare, it could literally be anything.

A visit to the emergency room four years ago with my heart beating out of my chest was almost dismissed as a "hysterical" panic attack. I kept insisting that I did not feel right.

No, I didn't say that the gay would distract from his awesome. But they didn't make a movie about his life as a gay man - they made a movie about incredible achievements of a man, who happened to also be gay. I personally don't think that every movie where the main character is gay has to explore that aspect. And I

I do this too! I laugh when I'm really nervous. If someone is yelling at me, I just have this overwhelming desire to laugh and smile but I'm actually scared. Reactions are weird, man.

That was my fav part of the whole episode.

Better than that - Fin is the gamer on the team who has to translate all the l33tsp34k for the pl3bs.

That's why shit like this is usually fun, "They hacked into the ram pixels! Quick, reverse the server and track the USB!"

It's about ethics in criminal procedure dramas, Anna.
