Oh, that's right. Fighting with your head producer and your wardrobe designer is the same thing. And how could I have forgotten that feminists aren't allowed to be flawed or inconsistent?!

Because taking charge of health and shilling for Slim Fast? Totally the same thing.

When Roseanne becomes known for fashion-policing the red carpet and making remarks about how fat/frumpy other women in Hollywood are, maybe there'll even be a comparison?

I love Whoopie too, but is she radical and uncompromising? What with the Slim Fast commercials and whatnot?

Actually, BYE to you, because if you think Roseanne wouldn't have pulled that stunt on a male wardrobe designer you are talking about a completely different Roseanne than the one I am!

No, what would have confused the message is if Roseanne had gone to the "bitches in heels" and said "Pretty please can my totally valid wardrobe requests be honored?" with a shit-eating grin. Showing up with scissors and threatening to cut someone? Not the nicest or most controlled manner but it certainly sends an

I don't hold Rivers in poor esteem at all, but I would not use the word "radical" to describe her. She's certainly said some subversive things but I wouldn't say that she's ever tried to further an agenda on behalf of women or working-class people the way Roseanne has.

"Why is she attacking the WOMEN who are "capitalist whores" on television?"

I'm struggling to name a female comic more uncompromising and radical than Roseanne.

Roseanne never asked for respect, she demanded it, and I support her 100% for that.

And I'm not particularly bothered/angered by this particular scenario but I am by the baseless assumption that cold sandwiches are automatically "better" than hot school lunches and the comments about how much more superior everyone else's diets & food habits are.

Am I the only person who gets the impression that a lot of debate over the quality of school lunches these days is being made by people who never had to eat school lunch? I want to know where the data is on how healthy the "average" school lunch is, or how, exactly, we've decided what an "average" school lunch is.

Um, I don't recall making any kind of moral judgment, just a note about social mobility.

What I don't get is that the author acknowledges that women don't necessarily go through beauty rituals for the sake of male attention, but then says that a man smiling at her makes her beauty rituals feel worthless. What?

I'd give it more like 10. If that. No company wants to make the same mistake American Apparel did.

"Happening fiercely," at least in the context of chain retail apparel, implies to me that a company is amping up their competitiveness. We're not talking couture here, we're talking an affordable chain of casual wear. If you only have locations in Manhattan, you're not competing with the Gap. You're not even close to

How so? If only one metro area in the country has access to your wares, how can you compete with an apparel chain of the Gap's size?

Uniqlo has one location in the entire United States. That's "happening fiercely"?

I'd be willing to wager that most of those hedge fund managers and commodity traders didn't exactly claw their way up from poverty.
