I believe I was replying to someone else, but since you joined in, do tell me your point because I fail to see it, let's keep on topic, which was body shaming, in case you think this is about sexualisation.

tell me about it... I get so incensed when I see those posts on facebook etc saying things like 'men prefer real women' ect with a picture of a curvy woman, they're all littered with comments about men preferring 'meat on their bones'. There are sooo many things wrong with that that I don't know where to start; yep,…

ok, trying to be super clever with adding a link now, http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/45420…

I know! it makes me want to scream! telling people to loose weight to look a certain way is one thing (one terrible thing), but trying to make a look one to aspire to when it just isn't even physically possible is pretty nauseating.

i know what you mean, I have a big pointy boned frame out of proportion with the skin on my body, as I get older it's starting to fill out, but I'm constantly covered in hip, knee and elbow bruises from them getting in the way of things.

I love her, there's a line between genuinely funny tongue-in-cheek self depreciation and super annoying Hollywood 'I'm just like you guys' self deprecation that she owns.

I know not replying to a troll is as easy as just not typing a message theoretically, but sometimes you just get that burning rage in your stomach. Plus, i feel a little on the back foot here with trolls because generally the discussions on Jezebel are quite civil, even when heated. I'm in grey quite a bit because I'm…

Sometimes I wonder just how dumb people could be, a colleague of mine once asked me in all seriousness if the zombie apocalypse was real. (A mother of two, btw)

I live in the UK where the climate is moderate; high 20's and the occasional 30c in summer and lows around 0 with the odd days of down to -10, because we're not used to either extreme (and anything beyond that is an extreme in this climate) we aren't prepared for it. This cold snap is apparently heading our way which…

Sorry, Kinja malfunction did not compute, allow me to edit

That's a relief, I won't have to read while you prove it to me then

Urgh, I don't get why any atheist would care about converting people. Do they want to share their non eternal nothingness? Are they afraid their lack of god won't smite them? I'd have thought those know-it-all types would love the fact that they're better than people who follow a religion. I mean come on, man, is it…

What if the beibster wrote the first tweet but his management were all like 'ha, we own your ass'. So they wrote the second tweet as a warning, because being a belieber is 'a lifestyle'.

There's a wealth of Catholic schools where I'm from, mostly through a government initiative to provide privately owned public academies; the people with the money to start them often happen to be Catholic. But I digress, the vast majority of my teaching friends teach in Catholic schools. Not one of them is Catholic,…

1936 Betty's seen some things, man...

No, not necessarily, hence me saying a positive outcome rather than second guessing. I think it's far to loaded an issue to assume anything. A positive outcome in this case would surely be the least traumatic for the child? But as a second point to my comment I queried the general panel decision process (not…

I think we'd need more details for sure before we can make judgements on this, but on the face of it, it sounds horrific. As someone who works for social services in another region of the UK I always feel so shocked and ashamed when I hear of massive failings.

Well, this debate escalated... from animal welfare>children drowning>cabinslism>murder>suicide
WTF people? No one seems to be making any sense anymore, the original points are long gone, drowning in a sea of increasingly ridiculous hyperbole.

I used to buy a school lunch once a week, on a Friday. I remember one particularly disgusting looking spread only getting an overcooked chicken leg because I couldn't stomach anything else on offer. This was in the UK, like a hundered years before Jamie Oliver and Morgan Spurlock saved the world (ok, more like 17…

I eyeroll every time Morrissey opens his mouth. He makes me both hate The Smiths and want to eat the dry, tasteless bird-leather that is turkey meat. Yes, I do know that's irrational, but so is preaching your lifestyle like you believe yours is the only way.
