  Bitch Blogs — Authority: 137

Theyre consistent, but consistently repellent: Each season, theres a visual tableaux of a female form, unnatural looking and clearly meant to be unsettling, and two men who are clearly asserting dominion over her very being. If the ads are meant to make the viewer examine whether ...

That’s right.  ...

  The-F-Word.org — Authority: 466
  I shouldn’t complain about the weather, considering that Charlynn is braving subzero Wyoming temps, but the Arctic freeze — and the fact that it gets pitch black now by 5:30 p.m. — really puts a damper on my fitness routine.  During my eating disorder recovery, I made a personal commitment to only engage in ...

  Wallaby — Authority: 112
  Headline: “How lethal is your load?”. Subhead: “Even skinny people may be carrying a mother lode of toxic fat”. It’s the DEATHFATZ! FOR REALZ!
