He reeks of something, that’s for sure.

Yes, I challenged that guy once by asking him about the women’s gymnastics team, and he doubled down and said the men would beat the women in every gymnastics event, no contest. Imagine what his inner life is like.

I’m waiting for those couple of guys who show up in every Olympics thread to stress that if women had to compete against men, they wouldn’t be allowed in any elite competitions, because there isn’t a single event on earth at which women even come close. This is a very, very important thing to say. I can tell by how…

Now, they do have malaria. But, he just threw in a whole bunch of other disease because African, so why the fuck not, right? lol

So many people talking out their ass about Ethiopia without any notion of the country. It was never a colony. Ethiopia has more or less existed in its current form for a couple hundred years.

People say, “Your movie’s not just a gay movie.” I’m like, “But it is a gay movie.”

This week Sanne Wevers finished her (gold medal winning) balance beam routine and started calculating her score on paper. The dumb guy NBC commentator some thing about her writing in her diary and the gal NBC commentator (who is likely a former gymnast) had to correct him and explain she was checking her score. She…

BobbySerious, Gawker’s resident rape apologist/rapist*, once explained at length that he didn’t care how many peer-reviewed studies showed that women do drastically more housework than men — he knows for a fact that he and his friends do AT LEAST half the housework in their homes, and that’s WAY better evidence than…

The perception gap is so fucking real and goddamn depressing. We see it on a macro and micro level.

They should have taken the poll further and asked whether or not they thought women now had an advantage over men because of “reverse sexism” or whatever the hell they call it. I bet the numbers would have been quite illuminating.

Oh god, definitely don't make your SO your only source of socialization. That's a recipe for disaster.

You are the one who brought skinny-shaming into the discussion where it didn’t need to be. You and your humblebrag can have several seats.

To add to this: my body is not INdecent because it is not thin. It very decently does its thing and carts my brain around successfully.

“ I can’t tell you how many people, actual strangers felt the need to actually go to her and comment on her weight. . . . No one would do that to an overweight person”

This this this! I was going to reply stating the use of “decent body”, as a contrast to average-to-plus, was a value judgement we did not need.

What’s hilarious is fat women are literally shamed, sometimes into being afraid to go out in public, and she’s basically co-opting their actual problems.

Fat shaming and skinny “shaming” are not on the same planet. Not even in the same galaxy.

Lawlz. We’re talking about average to plus-size body types and people are bringing up skinny/thin body types. This isn’t the time for skinny/thin people to pop up and say “What about me?”

“All sizes matter" wahhhhh. Wahhhh. Ugh
