@sensitivitycop: Should I make an equivalent list of talented people who aren't unbearable? Or should I make a list of ordinary people who are?

@effypan: Every time Peggy opens her mouth, I love her more.

On paper, it's laughably stupid. But in practice, I just want to say, this would be actually be a pretty frightening way to bully someone.

@yourestillinadream: That's kind of what I meant by culture being a perfectly scientific experiment - it isn't, and it never can be. When one group has had all the power, it's not a surprise to find systems that have evolved to accommodate their preferences. So clearly it seems to us like men have sexually visual…

@sensitivitycop: I don't think that's necessarily true. Some of the nicest, most humble, empathic and understanding people I've been privileged to meet have also been brilliant artists. Self-knowledge is not the same thing as narcissism, even if you really are super great.

@sinnicism: I am waiting for the day that scientists go, "oh that? yeah, that's nonsense".

@LaTarteFramboise: It's hard to say. The statistics here in Ireland would seem to indicate that girls outperform boys in all academic areas, but this might not be universally true. It is funny to think, though, that something we consider so fundamental to our society as education and intellectualism is something that…

@bluebears: What is hipsters?

@la.donna.pietra: Assuming that everyone on Jezebel lives in America can be just a little bit grating, and I hope that doesn't come across as a personal attack. You make excellent points about the financial costs involved in adopting, but EponaWearsBoots didn't actually say where in the world they were posting from,…

@voteforme: Right, because Facebook have wonderful magic rainbow techniques for dealing with 13-year-olds who are harassed. They're all totally covered up to the eyeballs in protocol for that eventuality. It's just that this particular girl is a lying little good for nothing 12-year-old, so obviously they don't have…

@titchytiny: I'm not sure that's a good enough reason not to take any action against him. He's threatening a minor with sexual language. All efforts should lead to finding him in the real world and imprisoning him. Simply saying "let the would-be rapist be" isn't enough for me, sorry.

@Oleander: I don't think it's quite as simple as that either, though.

@mordicai: I guess... that's how. It doesn't alter the size of your breasts at all. I mean, it seems like it is in itself a kind of implant. But it acts more like a bra than a size-enhancing implant, which does seem notably different in the world of cosmetic breast surgery.

@CrustyCanuck: Yup, we're agreed! I was just objecting to the original "that my friends is gigantism" line of thought, because frankly, it's far from conclusive at this point.

@pantsless: Lollercopter. You know it.

@SilentShout: No no, I wouldn't ask anyone to "pretend" she's just fine. It seems at the least highly likely that she does have a health condition - although of course it's also possible she's just uniquely tall. But your comment made it sound as if you know precisely what she has and how it will progress, which is…

@CrustyCanuck: Right, except, I also looked quite normal at fourteen. In fact, it seems like "looking quite normal at fourteen" would be some pretty lenient diagnostic criteria for gigantism.

@iamthelaw: It looks nothing like gigantism to me.

@SilentShout: Sorry, what disease exactly are you referring to? As far as I know, she hasn't been diagnosed with anything.

@Vidya108: I have not seen anyone suggest that her tallness should be "cured," which would doubtless be an inappropriate pathologizing of her body shape.
