Don't know if this will get out of the greys but still I can try. I think this would be of interest to Jezebel readers and hopefully one of the mainpage writers will cover this.

Thank you for posting this. I cannot understand why everybody keeps talking about this book as some feminist thing. No, it is pretty regressive. I could not get over that beating scene either. Also, there is one scene where Jamie almost rapes Claire (he stops at the last moment because he suddenly realizes that he…

I think what Aishwarya wore yesterday was even more bombshell-y.

I am Indian, husband is northern European and we live in the US. We had a city hall wedding in the US followed by a party at a local restaurant where we invited our friends. Then we had a reception in India and another in France with family and close friends ... both of these receptions were organized by the…

That women's race was amazing.

All the replies to this post have made me feel so much better. I know exactly what you mean about the nausea. It is so unpredictable. I had absolutely no symptoms till week 6, to the extent that I was having trouble believing I was actually pregnant. And then, 10 days ago it all hit at the same time, the nausea, the…

I used to go to a weights class once a week and had really progressed on the amount I could lift. I really want to get back to it...though probably with slightly lower weights than before.

That is what my doctor told me but it is always nice to hear from other people with some experience. Right now I cannot even imagine having the energy to go to the gym.

It seems like fatigue and lack of energy is a common symptom of first trimester pregnancy, so I am not highly bothered by that. I am just looking for some reassurance that this is not going to be the situation for the entire pregnancy.

This is slightly off topic, though also slightly on topic. I just need some words of encouragement from women who have been pregnant. I am 8 weeks pregnant right now. Until a few weeks ago, I used to go to the gym around 3 times per week. I would really like to continue working out through the pregnancy but for the…

As an Indian woman in the US, neither I, nor any of my friends have ever faced this. When my parents come to visit from India, my mother always gets compliments on her sarees...nobody has ever said anything bad. A large number of my extended Indian family lives in the US and most of the older women wear bindis on a…

Oh my God! I thought I was the only person who got annoyed by the "average"!

As an Indian Hindu, I see no problem with your tattoo. You did not get it because you thought it was a cool design, you got it because it meant something to you. In the worst case, if I saw you walking down the street, I might think of you as another clueless white girl who got a tattoo she knows nothing about, but…

While I generally agree with you, the problem in this particular case is that while bindis might hold a special significance for the author, Indian culture has evolved beyond that point. There are special kinds of bindis that are put during certain ceremonies and hold some cultural significance. The stick on bindis…

I feel like you have taken the words out of my mouth. I grew up in India and I am pretty sure that I have worn bindis at least a thousand times more than all the people of Indian origin who are taking offense to this. For me, a bindi or a saree is purely cosmetic because I was never othered because of my association…

If you asked even the more religious Hindus in India (my grandmother, for example), they will have no objections to white people wearing bindis at Coachella. This is because in India, bindis (especially the kind that you buy in a store and stick on your forehead) have almost zero religious connotation. There are…

Hindu Indian woman living in the US here, completely agree with you on everything. Bindis, especially the stick on kind, have never had religious or cultural significance in India. It is pretty much on par with putting henna or wearing a nose ring or toe ring...all of those things have a cultural (and sometimes…

Oh my God, yes! I came here to say exactly that. Through his entire run I was alternating between laughing and gasping at all the flips he managed to do. In addition to the pants, he also wore a gigantic shirt. As someone who feels very uncomfortable in shapeless clothing, I was almost itching to fit his clothes.

I always assumed they were Anna and Vronsky in this routine...they aren't?

I just read the article on blood diamonds on Jezebel, went to Facebook and saw a post from my cousin with photos of the diamond ring she got from her husband for Valentine's day and then saw your post. I was still raging in my head about the blood diamonds and was very tempted to be the #2 kind of commenter.…
