i wonder if he can cure the "expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women" in that phone interview.

I don't know! That's why I didn't mention it! I thought he was just being transparent (and attempting cute), not suggesting that he would eat a charming/attractive female he had deemed suitable for communication.

He must know about the original A Modest Proposal that suggested (among other things) eating babies right? He MUST be at least somewhat aware that he named his message after the greatest work of satirical irony.

Eh. One person's "romantic" is another person's "obsessive psychotic".

" You see, the thing about heaven is that heaven is for people who like the sort of things that go on in heaven. Like, well, singing, talking to God, watering pot plants."

Bars, I may grant you. I would not recommend churches, however. They tend to attract religious patrons, for one reason or another.

Or if you're Catholic, get smashed at church and meet someone nice.

I do not understand this line of thought at all, but to each their own, right? I've never blanched at being called a male... because I am one. Never blanched at being called white either, because I'm white. I guess I don't understand what's so inherently disempowering about being called a female. Why is woman or…

I'm getting tired of the way this website body shames Frankenstein monsters. I didn't ask for this. I just woke up on that slab this way. And I have enough problems, what with my earrings always getting caught on my neck bolts.

Ugh, Jezebel, could you please go back to being the cool middle-older sister of feminist media? Like, the one who doesn't give a shit what E! does with bodies because it's nothing new? I just want to go back to, you know, real media criticism instead of like "OMG UGHHHH LOOK AT THIS BODY SHAMING WHO WOULD DO THAT…

Except for the fact that they white-washed Gabrielle Union's arms.

Please, E! I didn't need that fancy Photoshop to make my mad scientist dreams a reality.

"Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits.…

Gee that's a lot of vitriol towards doctors.

I've had quite a few transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and it took a ridiculously long time to get properly diagnosed. I'm in my twenties, don't smoke, rarely drink, eat well, and try to exercise regularly, so when I began having episodic aphasia, facial tingling and numbness, and difficulty focusing my vision, it was…

Yeah, I learned within the first few months of medical school how to diagnose a stroke. Signs of both a stroke and a heart attack are 2 things we got down from the very beginning because the signs are so obvious and they're SO common. And sometimes the signs do vary, but "tingling, loss of motion of the side of the…

Exactly. Obviously I don't know what the writer's experience with doctors has been, but it seems a bit too flippant of a comment. Doctors have a difficult job, it is by no means an exact science and patients have strong emotional responses that make symptoms difficult to interpret. This is a negligence case, quite…

I think it's worth pointing out that women are consistently told their medical issues are less serious than those of men. Women are significantly less likely to receive medication for pain from a doctor, and are more likely to be told it's a psychological issue. Cool.

Most selfies are like furiously jerking off, but this one is just a stroke.

"We've all been there. You live with your body 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You know its little ticks and quirks. You know when there is something wrong with you. Having a doctor misdiagnose something despite your insistence that it might be something else is maddening."
