Right. So: one of the remaining 30% of Americans who isn’t fat would like to know: is it that you’re a teenaged virgin, or is it that you’re, like, 50+, fat yourself, and just used from childhood to slinging that as an insult about women, the way old people who have no problem actually with homosexuality will still…

That’s hilarious. They’re going to have to fight everybody they meet.

Really like the Brits, rest are kind of crap, though must say the USians look like grownups next to the rest. The giant Polo logo shouldn’t be allowed, though.

It astonishes me how allergic the Gakker crew is to the reality that you all will someday get old. Too old to work. Y’all just go totally white-noise on the subject.

Most people take 30 years or so to pay off a mortgage, which means that if you buy a house at 30, by the time you’re likely to really, really, really want…

No...a good sports bra, even a squashy one, doesn’t behave like a compression-wrapped ace bandage does.

Actually I used to use ace bandages before the days of large sports bras, back when I taught aerobics. They don’t actually work very well if you’ve got lots to contain. The most effective sports bra I ever found is no longer made: the Frogbra by Title IX. I still use the one I bought 13 years ago. Very tough fabric,…

Congratulations on your wonderboobs?

If you’re perky at 50, the rest of you may be normal, but — as a veteran of many a locker room — I assure you that your boobs are not.

This has to be, if not the ultimate mansplanation, at least pretty close. Silver for you.

Perhaps these things are best considered by your wife, not you.

Yes, because obviously the most important thing is that she not look like a normal human woman past her early thirties and/or childbirth.

Meh. Not for it. I don’t want my boobs hoisted; I want just don’t want them flying all around and hurting while I’m running. I’d be perfectly happy to go braless with my half-century 36...Bs? Cs? at work if I could, but I can’t, so a sports bra is fine by me.

Oh, my god. This is the worst case of “but men!” that I have ever, ever seen. I have trouble understanding how someone can be that thoroughly un-self-aware.

Well, that’s very silly. I think it was exactly the right time and place to do it, and what better way to confront prejudice than to go in making it clear that you’re not “different from those other ones, you’re okay” but draped in the flag of the thing they claim to hate and fear?

Or possibly we have a shit-ton more sense on the whole, dislike the obscene waste of money and natural resources (including time) represented by professional racing, and tend to choose sports with lower odds of death and planetary damage.

This thread’s amazing, btw. I thought it was just my ex who was a knucklehead,…

They’re all the wicked son for working for him in the first place, and richly deserve what they’re getting here.

ALLEGEDLY, FFS. NOT PURPORTEDLY. Hire a motherfucking editor, you all went to expensive schools and surely know some.

omg I had the stripey Lands’ End dress. It looked terrible on everyone.

Fuck them anyway. They had a brilliant shot at money, squandered it, now want the rest of us to support them in a comfy retirement while voting against funding for education, early childhood, housing, healthcare for all, on and on. Not interested in their crying.

And then there’s this thread:
