I think no one knows what to do with a frankly fat woman who is also genuinely gorgeous and sexy. They just look at her, scratch their heads, and finally say, “Uuuhhh... the best friend?”

maybe 20 fat jokes? or, more specifically, the same one, 20 different times. it’s sad for many reasons, but also because if rebel wilson wants to work in hollywood, these are the type of roles she must play. and if she passes, someone else will gladly take them. how unfair for fat actresses, for rebel personally, and…

UuuuuuUuuUuUUgh, why does hair on one’s vadge always imply low self-esteem/lack of sex life in the movieverse?! I LOVE my 90s-style patch of bush; it makes me feel earthy and fierce. Wtf, when is this weird, sterile, prepubescent grooming vibe going to fall out of favor?!

Can I just say that I really actually like Dakota Johnson? I thought she was great in Fifty Shades, given the crock of shit that was the role she had. The movie would have been flat-out unwatchable, even as a hate-watch, without the bit of humor she was able to somehow inject into it. And she was lovely in Ben & Kate.

No, I don’t have kids. So, there is no way a 12 year old wants to have sex with an adult?

surveillance video from the CVS at Bellaire and Stella Link shows a man in his 20s briefly walk inside the store, and then leave. Minutes later, the 12-year-old victim entered the store following her mother and grandmother. Police say the girl went off by herself. The man entered again and quickly approached the girl. …

It implies that the officer has made and vocalized a judgement.

Thank you! At last an answer! And you and I should really go get beers and stare into the void together sometime. Despair is always more festive in company!

Lutfi. https://twitter.com/SamLutfi It drives me crazy every time I see it misspelled, which is about 40x more than I see it spelled correctly. The only reason I read articles with his name is to see if it's finally been spelled correctly, and then I fall into an existential fugue and wonder how I became the…

Is it just me, or does John Travolta increasingly resemble a 1980's cartoon villain? He's like Gargamel with hair.

I am a large woman, but very active. I rarely overeat, am mindful of portion control, and I take public transportation, which not only saves me gas money, but ensures that I get regular exercise. I used to walk regularly in the evenings as well. But I was, on multiple occasions, harassed while walking. People shouted…

I HATE the "if I see a fat person at the gym I think of them as inspirational" defense. Oh, go fuck yourselves! I don't exist to inspire you and if you said anything like that to my face it would make me want to eat an entire pizza followed by a pint of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food right then and there in front of you.

Is there *any* issue on which shaming people actually works? To me, shaming is a big indicator of lack of empathy.

As a general rule, fat-shamers don't give a shit about the health of the person being shamed, or whether they're likely to lose weight down the road - that's an excuse. They just want to publicly express their disgust.

Are you telling me that treating people like garbage does not boost their self-esteem and desires to better themselves???

My weight is a product of a stellar metabolism. I would never fat-shame someone, because chances are, they are working much harder than my lazy ass.

Absolutely the truth, and thank you for reiterating it (since it has popped up a few times on here) and with new evidence.

I'd love to know what kind of responses she gets. I once put something in my profile about a potential match needing to have a full time job and not live with his parents, and I got at least five messages about me being a "gold digger" and "wanting a man to support me". I'm sure she gets a TON of hate mail.
