I would have to go with Kate Upton, but then I would like to ask her a question: <br /><br />Kate, who is the bigger catch?<br /><br />Justin Verlander OR Stuart <br />Schneiderman?<br /><br />I know, I know, it's a tough call. Let's break it down:<br /><br />Justin is an internationallyy renowned baseball star, the hottest pitcher on the planet. He is superfit, hot, and pulls in about 18 million a year for the Detroit Tigers.<br /><br />Schneiderman, on the other hand, is a 60+ um, "coach," but mainly just a stay-at-home blogger. I may be wrong, but I can't imagine he is superfit or as hot as Justin, but I'll leave that to your taste.<br /><br />In making your decision, I think something needs to be pointed out.<br /><br />While Justin rakes in millions a year, he wouldn't be threatened by your career or how much you pull in. Stuart, on the other hand, would. You see, you may not know this but actually, men do not like it when their mates make more than they do. Stuart would have to be the "breadwinner" in the household. I can't be certain, but I can't see how blogging would ever rake in the amount you make a year. So, I'm afraid you would have to give up your career and stay home and start reproducing right away.<br /><br />I know this sucks, but in fact, studies have shown that successful, powerful women have crap sex lives, more anxiety, and are on more anti-depressants than regular women! I know! Even you! This especially bothers Stuart. (Although between you and me, I suspect he's just trying to find excuses for his own terror and impotence in the face of "successful" women. But don't let him know that).<br /><br />I know the choice is hard, but I know you'll make the right one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-23705127762517312572013-02-17T07:02:54.128-08:002013-02-17T07:02:54.128-08:00It needs to be emphasized, as n.n. does, that of t...It needs to be emphasized, as n.n. does, that of the two women, Dunham and Upton, only one is known for posing nude. It also matters that her body is her own, that she has not modified it.<br /><br />How much of the mania over surgically enhanced female bodies is about women who do not like their bodies, or simply do not like being women? I suspect that some of the impulse behind dieting and even anorexia has to do with an attempt to modify the female body so that it looks less womanly.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-78547046987701790182013-02-17T06:50:36.282-08:002013-02-17T06:50:36.282-08:00Oh, by the way, Kate Upton.

They need to be reasonable and understand that not all people are created or develop equally. Some women, and men, are simply more aesthetically appealing than others. It's nature; it's nurture; and it is not a subject of legitimate criticism.n.nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252447117532342957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-6383091532952825342013-02-16T16:58:51.818-08:002013-02-16T16:58:51.818-08:00Kate Upton.

The more people read it the more they seem to believe that it's true. The Kate Spencer piece was reproduced on the Daily Beast site and elsewhere. Nearly all the comments that I saw were extremely favorable. So, forgive me for rehashing the obvious... the more people stand up and say that it's utter nonsense the better it is.<br /><br />I agree with you that women see it as a bonding ritual, and that we don't get it, but still, can't they find another more affirming way to bond?Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-56171424519348786592013-02-16T12:18:44.830-08:002013-02-16T12:18:44.830-08:00There is always a market for women who write this ...There is always a market for women who write this sentiment.
