Some people have narrow hips and legs that touch, and some people have wider hips with thighs that don’t touch. All these particular body parts are affected by the arbitrary genetic hand you’re dealt at birth, yet young girls have chosen to obsess over whether they have a “thigh gap.”

Haters will always hate. These days, bashing politicians and journalists has become en vogue.

Female literary characters that deserve a second chance
(09/29/13 12:08am)
