Please don't assume someone is underweight. Not everyone who is thin has an eating disorder. It's equally obnoxious to be "concerned" that someone weighs too little as it is to be "concerned" that someone weighs too much. You're not their physician. People who say thin people should "eat a burger" are just as bad as

You thought the poor thing was underweight? Well, thank goodness for your expert medical opinion! Tell me, how did you come by the post of physician to the Duchess of Cambridge?

Dear America:

I've lived in Europe my whole life and I am constantly shocked by the expense of medical care in the US. I have all these questions that I want to ask because I'm genuinely curious about this, but I can't manage to get past how staggering that figure is.

Gender shaming a baby...terrible

That's not his Dad. Diana's affair started long after Harry was already born. Also, Harry looks a lot like men on both sides of the family, and both sides have a long history of gingers.

That's ok, I'm sure they'll have more children, and there has to be a girl there, right?

Just because somebody was born a boy does not mean they will end up forgoing gowns, tiaras, and awesome jewelry.

Yeah, these snarky, bitchy articles about Kate's 'Royal Vagina' and other xenophobic pops at the UK are snoooooresville. As they say in East London "change the fackin' record".

This was so confusing to read. I have no idea what just happened.

I think that tweet is hilarious. If you can't have a modicum of sense of humor about the patriarchy you're going to go mad. Also it totally sounds like something I'd read on jezebel. as a joke. since it was a joke.

"Maybe this is more of that sophisticated, dry British humor that I don't get".

I totally got it as a joke on the first read, as well as what the CNN correspondent said. Obviously they and the rest of the British media are poking fun of the fact that it's the 21st century, yet there still had to be a "proclamation" made about what would happen if the baby was a girl, and how ridiculous the

"Now the royals can stop pretending they were fine with a girl 1st"

Sure sounds like a joke poking fun at the royal family to me. In fact, this sounds like something I'd see on Jezebel. Don't know much about Tina Brown and her sense of humor but that's how I read it.

I think it was meant to be a joke. My buds and I were all making jokes about how they won't need to execute Kate, now that she's given the prince a son. Huzzah!

This isn't a big deal. I thought Arbiter was making an offhand comment referencing a very well known recurring issue in British history. She was being tongue in cheek. This is a non-issue, especially in light of the UK's move towards changing the law of primogeniture. How can anyone take seriously the idea that a

Oh c'mon. She was tongue in cheek. She knows it doesn't matter. It was a nod to the freaking history of the monarchy. I usually let my big Feminst flag fly over most things but this was really a joke.

I'm pretty sure this is a joke on the irony of the fact that the sex of the baby no longer matters for succession, so people world over were hoping for a girl and got a boy when historically it's been the exact opposite of that scenario. Victoria Arbiter is British, right? This is the british sense of humor. Really no
