Why The Steubenville Rapists Being Found Guilty Matters — To Me & To You

For every survivor who’s ever been called melodramatic, for every “imperfect victim” who was drunk or high, for every “slut” who apparently has no right to say no if she has said yes before, for everyone whose friend, sibling, parent, child or self have been assaulted, it matters. It matters because we’re all people, and rape is a national issue.

And for Jane Doe, because she is who really matters in all of this. We’re on your side, girl, and we aways have been.

“You Look So Skinny”

“You look so skinny,” my friends all eagerly complimented. It was the end of summer in 2010 after I had spent nearly three months running five miles each morning and obsessively counting calories. I was still throwing up on occasion, but I was also attempting to lose weight “healthily” — though there was obviously nothing healthy about my behavior. After just 10 weeks, I had managed to go from 150 pounds to 120, reducing my size from a 10/12 to a 6 (or 4, depending on the store). At 5’7″, 120 is just on the “normal” side of the medical spectrum, but I did not look like my normal self.

For more of my explanation on why I don’t think we should continue complimenting each other based on weight, check out the rest of my feature at The Gloss.

Dear Men: Stop Telling Us You Want A ‘Girl With Some Meat On Her Bones’

Seriously — just stop it. You’re not flattering anybody by hating on skinny girls, you’re not making us feel better by saying we “look healthy” (you can be healthy at nearly every size) and you don’t sound ~*open minded*~ because you tell everybody you’re “not into models.” This whole “real women have _____” is fucking annoying, and that’s coming from a 34DD with giant hips who doesn’t feel good about herself just because a guy puts down another woman’s body type. Stop comparing our figures to animal flesh cooked and consumed by humans. Just stop it.

P.S. My hips don’t fry/my ribs don’t lie.

I can’t decide on what pun I wanna make hurr.

Can You Be A Feminist & Like Sexist Music?

Better cuff your chick if you with her, I can get her
And she accidentally slip and fall on my dick
Oops, I said on my dick
I ain’t really mean to say on my dick
But since we talking about my dick
All of you haters say hi to it, I’m done.

He’s no William Carlos Williams. I know. There are no tasty plums. Just dicks. SO MANY DICKS. But I know all those words, and that is confusing, and I feel like an asshole because of it.

My Response To Jenna Marbles’ Ridiculous Slut Shaming Video In GIF & Text Form

Normally I post excerpts of my articles, but this time, you should just go see for yourself. Between Tyra and Mean Girls and Rocky Horror, I had a really good time with this one.
