“I think body type here is incidental. Once you get over size 12-14, millenial women infinitely more likely to be unpleasant and prone to hostility to counteract low self-esteem. That is the perfect personality for them to become vulnerable to joining the progressive coalition. Size 12 with confidence, exuberance, and a non-SJW worldview? Sign me up. But progressives will corral them from the dressing room to the ballot box.

“I generally am sympathetic to curves, but the press embrace of morbid obesity is clearly an acknowledgment on their part that morbid obesity is not traditionally thought of as attractive. Yet another case of progressives simply saying the opposite of the truth and doubling down on it.”

Model gets upset about her spelling error 

“Ew I wrote the wrong ‘their’ and I would like to die now.” — Chrissy Teigen.
