Ha! You know what's sad? My Gram told me that my Grampy (who, by most accounts, was a tough, mean old drunk Irish cop sonofabitch) used to do exactly that. Tell her she needed to diet, which she would, and then inform her that she could stop, that she had gotten thin enough. And so on. Gram ain't no pushover either,…

To me, these are some of the most insideous examples of sexism that probably do more damage combined and yet people think it's so harmless. There are so so so so many things wrong with this.

Yep. I don't even own a TV but I'll be damned if this wasn't the most entertaining reality TV episode I've ever streamed.

Yes... as a former waitress that irked me somethin' fierce too.

Erhmagerrrrrd THE CUTENESS!

Uh, I missed the part where Depp and Vanessa broke up... O_o

True, but even Manson's pathetic-ass defense was slightly more plausible (in a weird bizarro-world way) than this dude. Not that I'm trying to debate the merits of the dregs of society, but still.

My jaw hit the floor when I saw that he was planning on pleading not guilty. How in the universe of all of the fucks is this petri dish of evil possibly going to attempt to convince anyone that he's not guilty?!?! There just aren't enough incredulous punctuation marks to convey my disgust and surprise right now.

I sort of view it as bearing witness to these womens' experience. Despite what my handle says, not in a voyeuristic, train-wreck way but to empathize and really try and feel for them and what they went through. It could arguably be worse if these things happened to them and no one ever spoke about it, becuase then…

This is really cool for me to see, because I remember specifically wondering while reading that book (which gets a bit confusing in the middle) how the hell she came up with all of these twists and kept them straight. I assumed she had to have made some sort of outline or flowchart; nice to see I was correct :)…

This just occurred to me. Not to downplay what Angie did, or completely detract from the point of it all, but I'm sort of curious as to what the trans* community would have to say about the discussion of body parts = sexuality in relation to medical procedures like this one.

Not sure that referencing Sex and the City here is going to help my case, but there was that storyline about Steve losing one of his balls to cancer and although it's been a while since I've seen that episode I remember they touched on the traumatic aspect of losing a part of your physical sexual indicator. I remember…

Meanwhile, the Europeans are doubled over with laughter...

Maybe if we keep repeating it...

After watching Bridesmaids, I had two thoughts: 1. That was one of the most funny movies I've seen since Bad Santa (my ultimate fave comedy.) 2. It's probably going to get ripped apart because it's an all-female-comedian cast. This second observation really bummed me out, because people indeed jumped all over…

Me too, when I first read it after a friend posted it to her FB via the original article I didn't notice the byline until I got to the Brad Pitt part and then I did a double-take. Then I ran over here and sure enough here's this article.

I kind of view these Dove campaigns the same way I would a Nice Guy–somehow I just doubt the sincerity of the message and question their motives. After all, let's not forget that at the end of the day they're trying to sell us something.

Oh My God, I was in France and couldn't resist splurging on way too expensive bras but holy shit there's a reason lingerie is a French stereotype. Did you notice, though, that the sizes were a bit larger than what I was used to? I wish I would've bought a smaller size in my underwear after I got home, unless they just…

Yes!!! I was told that lie too! So now I have a bunch of 34Bs and 32 Cs that are all kind of meh. Some of the bands feel super loose. I'm thinking I could be even smaller than 32 band size but once you get smaller than that it's mostly only A cups. Sadness :(
