Yeah, I remember when a woman came in to talk to us about her own eating disorder, and I took notes every time she mentioned how much she ate, or how hard she exercised. It just isn’t a disease that responds well to logical appeals.

I know the review mentions that there is a woman who is fat and bulimic, but I really do wish ED stories wouldn’t seemingly always focus on the story of a woman who gets unhealthily thin, then gets help. I feel like it almost implies that, if you’re not below your healthy BMI range, you’re not really that sick (and,…

I mean I love my husband and kid but I feel that marriage and motherhood challenge my feminism daily. I don’t feel like a bad feminist, I feel like a woman trying to create a meaningful life and to care for the…

I’m here at Jezebel for this poignant ugliness, so that I may spit with all of you, so that we may together stain the world.
