CONTROVERSY: Marie Claire "Fatties" Story Slammed By Mike & Molly Show Creator

Radaronline.com recaps the Marie Claire Controversy here. The gist is a Marie Claire dating blogger. Expressed a very descriptive dislike of obese people showing affection with each other as well as being allowed to exist on the planet. The blogger apologized, with the qualifier the hate stems from her past eating disorder. Marie Claire stands by the authors self expression.

I think this is a perfect example of how people think of and treat overweight people in society. I am glad this incident happen so maybe the thin people in the world can see the world ain't friendly to overweight people just because Lane Bryant has commercials in prime time.

So many thin people treat the overweight like we have a chip on the shoulder. Well, this overweight person does. I turned my chip into a boulder because of all the back handed compliments, stares, and disrespect I receive from people who don't even know my situation.

The Case for a Harem of Husbands

Abigail Haworth writes about Nadine Al-Bedair, host of Equality on TV network Alhurra. She recent put her life on the line by writing a musing about how much fun she'd have picking out her husbands if polygamy were legal for women.

This article was denied publication in many Muslim and Islamic countries. She has even received death threats for raising the question.

I think it is very said that in 2010 freedom of speech has not reached every corner of the global. I am just glad that technology has give no traditional outlets for people to get there stories out.

Should You Put Your Man Before Your Career?

Sally Lauckner interviews the authors of Boys Before Business . The authors suggest that women put themselves first, their relationship second, and their career last. That’s the key to having a lasting relationship. It’s not a matter of being traditional; it’s about figuring out what you want in life. And the same goes for your boyfriend or husband: He should also put you before his career.

Well this book works like The Secret. They believe if you make time and space for current and/or future romantic relationships you will find happiness.

I say to each there own. If you have a crappy job, then I say bet the farm on love. But if you have a kick ass career on the rise, I say go with the bird in the hand.
