From one white person to another: Until we’re a part of the solution, we’re still a part of the problem. I hate to use this phrase but seriously, check your privilege. Try to see a perspective other than your own.
Part of the reason they’re so expensive is that Nike has been making continuous moves over the past decade to make their products fair-trade and free of sweatshop work. I’m not saying that makes the price worth it but it’s something to consider.
In very simplified terms, you have two body types: skinny and fat. Now I know there are so many shapes and sizes in between, but for the purposes of this conversation let’s refer to them in the two extremes. When you advocate for the use of the word “skinny” and say there’s nothing wrong or offensive about it, you then also advocate that we should be using its opposite, “fat” as well. The problem is that calling someone “fat” is insulting, but generally calling someone “skinny” is a compliment. The issue lies in the double standard. I get where you’re coming from because in theory yes, healthy bodies tend to be slimmer, but you have to consider that you can’t use one word without also using its opposite.
“Stop acting like a victim when you clearly aren’t.” You are so right, members of the LGBT community have never been victims of any sort of oppression ever in the history of forever!!!!!!!!!!
Please be more ignorant.
Why glorify drinking like this? I’m not trying to shame people who do drink, it’s your choice. But most of the information in this article is pure fiction. Drinking doesn’t make you skinnier, eating healthy and exercising does. I guess you’ll seem cooler and more fun to the other people who like to drink, but partying doesn’t make someone a better person than someone who chooses not to drink. And if you have to lie to your doctor to make him or her believe that the amount you drink isn’t unhealthy, that’s not a harmless lie, that’s alcoholism. I’m all for going out and having a good time every once in a while, but articles like this that glorify consistently getting trashed portray a really bad message to young women who read the articles on this website. Being in a sorority should be fun, but don’t forget that we should be holding ourselves to high standards and representing our organizations as well.
Who are any of us to decide what is a “healthy” way for a rape victim to work through their trauma?

I sincerely hope you meant this sarcastically.
