“Do overs”, fatphobia, and hook-up links

My short Thursday post is up at Healthy is the New Skinny: Running Out of Time. Excerpt:

At Healthy Is The New Skinny, we care about much more than encouraging good nutrition and celebrating the truth that women can be beautiful at any size. We believe that in order to be healthy on the inside, you need to accept that “your best is good enough.” We believe that whether you’re 17 or 47, you can afford to make mistakes and you can afford to take your time. The “screw-ups” you make and the “do-overs” you give yourself permission to take won’t ruin your life – they’ll be the seeds for your future success.

You’ve got more time than you think.

Feministing follows up on my post and the Village Voice piece with Men who love “fat chicks”, masculinity, and women as trophies.

And I’ve just gotten turned on to The Hookup Column, a site that explores “hook-up culture” from a non-judgmental, feminist perspective. Good stuff. Check it out.
