“And from girls, you’re going to get, um … from their best friends, probably, ‘Oh my God, you look gorgeous! You look so skinny!’”
78
“And you’re going to get, from girls that don’t like her, ‘Wow, you’re a slut!’, you know, like, ‘You’re nothing but a whore!’, like, ‘Put some clothes on!’”

“A girl, let’s say she’s, I don’t know, with a bunch of guys in a sexual pose, or … has tons of booze around her, or something”
