I am TOTALLY trying to make "elevator shaming" happen, you guys. This is going to be the next big shameful thing.
ableism
pooping
I honestly can't believe I'm even writing about this.
shaming
Sometimes shopping isn't so fucking fun.
embarassment
Did you guys know I've gained a little weight lately? No? Well, everyone on 5th avenue does.
gym
I used to laugh at people huffing and puffing away on machines until the day I realised I was one of them.
cosmetic surgery
Two boyfriends, in the last two years, have asked me to get augment my behind. As in surgically alter it.
shame
Because of my friend's comfortable shoes, we were denied entry to one of Paris' most exclusive nightclubs. Denied. Denied. DENIED!
pee
This post was written by a regular xoJane contributor who was too chicken to put her name on this story. Guess who she is in the comments!
kink
Recently I went home with a kinky man after our first date. The experience phased in and out of being consensual throughout the night. I distinctly left his apartment feeling violated and I continued to feel violated for several days after.
shame
Maybe not everything about us is necessarily worth embracing and accepting.
body autonomy
It happened to me: I got groped at work. Against my will. And then I blamed myself for it.

eating disorders
A recent survey has found that people with eating disorders may get more positive help from pro-ana communities than anyone realized. I'm arguing why banning these communities outright is a bad idea.
social media
Parents are tapping into that fear of embarrassment with a new form of punishment: public humiliation.
deordorant
This is stuff I actually really love and use, even though I am sort of ashamed. Please don't tell anybody.
acceptance
Despite what’s been drilled into my head by certain family members and classmates for much of my life, I tried to own that having great ideas and being a smarty-pants isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
