For the purpose of our social evolution, I will admit I kind of feel like pretending I'm unacceptable as long as I give in to a bag of Doritos that gets brought home after a grocery run is kind of a safe space, but it's certainly not the optimal safe space. And also, it's not entirely pretending when society just expects women to be smaller and skinnier. I mean, I certainly have had to pay attention to this stuff my whole life. You know, I actually have a memory of living, or of visiting, rather, Michigan, and seeing some commercial on TV for Pringles and there was a bunch of skinny girls running around on the farm and they were all so happy to be eating their Pringles together and I was filled with despair because I was like, I'm never going to be that skinny, and I'm still going to want to eat the Pringles. And I don't understand, how come they get to eat the Pringles and be skinny? But then it was kind of weird because I got a little bit more skinny, for a little while, a few years later. Oh I think I found the commercial.

There's a guy too. I actually forgot all about the guy. Is that just one guy and a bunch of girls?
