The thing is, I'll bet people who do need these things are genuinely happy to see a product advertisement treating it like any other hygiene/medical thing. It would be bad enough worrying about bowel incontinence without the inevitable horrible embarrassment.

Did you not read the article?

That lady is thrilled to be there. She's changing lives!

How much would you have to be paid to be "the face of sharting"?

the sad truth is, they were asking him if he dated girls. As I recall, that is a standard question.

Men who say this shit, think that a gay man in the locker room will treat them how those particular straight guys would treat women in the locker room - like a piece of meat.

I so need to re-watch this movie. Cary Elwes as Robin Hood was my first crush.

WHOA. That was incredibly uncalled for. We are done here.

I am no longer an educator. I work with teens as a manager of sorts. While I agree the teaching of it can start at home- isn't it a bit presumptuous to assume that the idea is being universally taught when it is clear (from this article alone) that it is not?

Yes I am. Children really get the whole "grown adults have reclaimed this word so if Billy and Sam and Chyler and Keaton and Micha call you fat- it's no big deal you big baby. It's like calling you tall or short, GAWD."

Thank you so much for your concern for my mental health. I'll be sure to tell the girl crying in my office today that having "fat girl" written on her mathbook was no big deal.

And that's fine for you as a grown woman, but to use the term as a descriptor for children without the life-experience and confidence you have is potentially incredibly harmful. If you want to call adult women and men fat because you, yourself, have reached a level of body positivity, that is your call. But to pretend…

You'd be cool with someone you care about, a minor even, being called "fat" to his/her face?

Thank you so much for pointing that out. It's 0ne of his most interesting qualities when I look at his portraiture.

Not to mention being dyslexic and paraplegic! He is seriously inspiring and has overcome so many obstacles to reach his current success.

About damn time. I still think Conan got completely screwed over.

BYE ALREADY.
