I don't even have words to describe this one.

Wow, @applecat - that one left me with a lot of questions! Why would she use fake names in the xojane article, but then link to her social media accounts and horrible blog, which contain not only real names, but also photos of the people in question?

(I legit felt bad for her ex-husband, right up until I saw the pictures of him in blackface.)

It's clear this 33-year-old grown adult woman is pretty dependent on family money; moreover, she seems to have confused "building a writing career" with "becoming an online laughingstock." Perhaps the paterfamilias should stop paying for those "Instant Gratification Takes Too Long" 5-week private essay writing classes and cut the dang internet down.

I hope he doesn't, because I'm actually really entertained.

"Body shaming is not okay.... But hyper-thin bodies are part of the problem."

Also LOL @ anything involving "fat-shaming" being considered an unpopular opinion on xoJane.

...okay, maybe I'm just not understanding what exactly a thigh gap is, but it seems asinine to me that it's now unrealistic to stand with your legs apart and not have your thighs touch. How long until we get articles saying that women who can see their toes are setting unrealistic body standards?

Thigh gaps are a thing where you have a space between your thighs when you're standing normally at the top of the thigh/groin area. They're ridiculous as a standard of thinness because they don't take muscle or body shape into account.

For example, at my thinnest I was 90 pounds and a size 2-4US but because I've been a swimmer all my life I have muscular thighs and I've never had a thigh gap, despite being extremely petite.

This one was pretty horrifying. Woman's friend, roommate, and former boyfriend is caught looking at child porn. Woman continues to be friends and live with the man, rationalizing that it was probably only barely legal (as if that justified anything) and not hurting anyone, even though she knew he was continuing to torrent lots of it. Eventually the cops come knocking again, and she thinks "omigosh how this happen woe is me". The author also has no idea what empathy means.

I pride myself on being a deeply empathetic person.

Even the comment section accused the author of being a special snowflake, which is really, really saying something.

(oh also every time I go on xoJane my antivirus detects a threat... perhaps it's trying to tell me something?)

In the last 24 hours, unless you live in a scientifically anomalous forcefield that protects you from the absolute worst of pop culture, you have, at the very least, gotten wind of Meghan Trainor's new single, "Dear Future Husband," and the video that goes along with it. Perhaps you've read professional and casual critiques (and maybe even defense, or even celebration) of "Dear Future Husband." Perhaps you've even — heaven forbid — listened to andwatched "Dear Future Husband."
Are you confused? I'm confused. I was in my elementary school's prestigious gifted program, but even with that pedigree, I have no idea what just happened.

And yet, despite this confusion, I'm somehow angry. My brain recognizes that a crime has been committed against music, gender equality, the partially formed brains of society's youth; but up until now, I have been too dumbfounded over this tripe to construct sentences about it.

Wealthy women with nothing to do said:
Women, mostly living in rural areas with that unknown quantity called land, create gendered spaces where they can engage in womanly pursuits like scrapbooking, quilting, or maybe birthing some children.
