Dear god, will we ever stop concern trolling teen girls? I mean which is it? Burgeoning young women figuring out their identities, or delicate children we have to shield from the world?

*sigh* another day, another Jez article misrepresenting a science study cause it might make teh fattiez feel bad.

Nope, sorry, I handle my tragedies with crass jokes, inappropriate .gifs, and gallows humor.

I always find it funny when people trot out that 95% statistic, I guess I must know a lot of those 5%ers.

"Female celebrities do do.." doo-doo! :D

Well I haven't quit drinking, but I've scaled back to pleasantly buzzed territory. Its fairly simple for me; have a drink, have a glass of water, have a shot, follow up with more water, etc. etc. End result is that I'm too full to continue drinking, I'm still buzzed, and I'm fairly hydrated so I can avoid the worst of…

I think its because obesity falls under the banner of 'oppression', which is a sacred cow to social justice/progressive...'types' (who tend to flock to jezebel once tumblr becomes an echo chamber, and vice versa). Whereas anorexia (et. al.) still benefit from 'thin privilege', therefore they are not oppressed and they…

It literally becomes an exact science when you take it to these levels. I only know of these things from the competitive body building sphere (as a lay person, maybe future participant), but for example you average 'Italian seasoning' spice mix, or even hot sauce, will have sizable amounts of sugar and sodium. These…

He is, and he's being played by Tyler Perry, who unfortunately replaced Idris Elba. :(

Jeez, I can only imagine how boring the cutting diet was to get that amount of definition. Egg whites, plain chicken breast, broccoli, protein powder, water; repeat for 4-6 weeks. Cut out any spice/seasoning/flavor and carb cycle down 2 weeks before the 'event', cut out water 1-2 days before the 'event'.

Word up. to ALL of this. Really tired of privileged folk co-opting the narrative AGAIN. Who are you (not YOU, but a general you) to determine what is and is not offensive to a traditional marginalized and silenced group? Seems incredibly patronizing and condescending.

Well, good to know the PROBLEMATIC brigade has rolled on in, fueled by an overcompensating sense of post-colonial Americana guilt, determined to feel outrage on behalf of the indigenous population. How magnanimous of you to decide what is and is not offensive to the Comanche and Navajo Nations, regardless of their…

and this is why my fertile years are passing me by, unless I magically manage to relocate to a ZOMGSOSHULIST country within the next 5-7 years.

So let me get this straight, when it comes to fat people we just need to "be nice" no matter what. But when it comes to people losing weight, not even purposefully but as a byproduct of rehabilitating their body, then its anything goes, snark away?

I can only presume it would attract women who want validation that they are thin (therefore pretty, sexy, whatever) and perhaps a chance to meet men who share similar feelings of thin superiority? So, uhm, Meme Roth and her ilk I guess.

I think I get what you're saying, and I know of a few woman would happily attend this event. They also seem to subscribe to this idea that, any man worth having (aka $$$$) deserves a woman worth looking at. I guess in a round about way, they feel 'empowered' by their innate 'will power' to remain 'attractive' enough…

omg this is amazing...why is this amazing?!?!? I can't stop laughing, its just so....ridiculous.

You have an old dad as well?!?! Neat! My dad was 60 when I was born, and today he's still kickin' it like he's in his 40's. lol, wakes up at 4 am and does more work around the house and garden (plus a green house he built himself a few years ago) than I can accomplish in a 3 day weekend.
