You're absolutely right. I have two distinct friend groups (one predominately black from my neighborhood and another predominately white one from my school) I have absolutely watched the shift happen. The black girls I have been friends with all either took pride in their big butts or wished they had them whereas it…

Please, tell me all the ways race has nothing to do with the standards of feminine beauty.

Troll harder, asshole.

She's 20 and "lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with her mom". Momma pays for everything and she has all the time she wants to regard her own ass.

I have ass blindness.

Yeah but to quote Stewart Lee "you can prove anything with facts, can't you?". :)

Well tonsillitis, chickenpox and HPV weren't vaccinatable when I was growing up, and I've been exposed to all and lived. The rest though, ya, it's kind of amazing really since most of them can kill you by themselves.

Heh when I started reading your comment I thought you were going to say something about how she no longer needed to be vaccinated against the ones she got. But, ya, that too. Seriously though, tonsillitis every year? I've never heard of that without it being followed by tonsil removal. Especially 30 years ago.

I think when things get heated, both sides sound like they are spewing propaganda.

On the bright side, at least he's not eligible for financial aid and he'll be paying every cent out of pocket.

I'm definitely not an anti-vaxxers, but an article where someone gets a list this long of such rare illnesses does read as false or at least exaggerated. That or some kind of serious immune system issue.

Christ, I hate that thing so much.

Has no one ever made a typo before? I make them all the time. No matter how carefully I reread. It's going to happen every so often.

It's disgusting to read the comments section of this article. Here are two young women trying to make something of themselves that doesn't revolve around exploiting their sexuality, and all these fully grown adults who identify as "feminists" are just ripping them apart.

We can agree to disagree about her talent level, more specifically her vocal talent. I mean, if Stevie Nicks can make a whole career, then I think she'll be fine. Of course the beat was manufactured. All beats are manufactured. That doesn't mean there aren't any good ones. The point is that it's a big departure from…

It would probably get optioned by Hollywood to be a romcom. You know, single mom, kooky but attractive, has secret love for local coffee shop assistant manager. EATS THERE EVERY DAY to see, ummmm, stalk him. Romantic hijinks and stereotypes ensue.

Good dog, I hope to never, ever be forced to interact with one of those people IRL. I'm glad to know that we are in agreement that "cultural relativism" is a piss-poor excuse of denying certain people their basic human rights... >=/

And yet so called progressive countries continue to have political and economic connections with countries that deny basic human rights to half their population.

I don't care about your customs. Those are trumped by the fact that this is unfair.
