Not surprisingly, a lot of the shaming of women has to do with physical appearance, since this is the way that women are often measured in society and, quite honestly, it is the way that many of us measure our self-worth. Despite what might be going on underneath (physical- or mental-health issues, religious beliefs or ideologies that choose not to privilege physical appearance over other aspects of the body), we cling to the culture of shaming women around what they look like, as opposed to who they are as whole people.

The problem is when a woman is too much "whole" like the author of the piece:



She lists herself as a "cultural critic" but I think Twinkie critic is more like it.

There is a formula to these articles:

1. Find liberal themed site.
2. Hire writer who is fat and/or ugly.
3. Give emotional justification for women to behave badly or maintain poor health.

Rinse and repeat.

This Twinkie critic has it backwards. Women love to be shamed.

There's good money to be made writing pretty little lies.

The throes of men who "support" these views may one day be true believers in mind and soul, it would probably make them happy. But I still see discontent in their eyes which betray them.

This, and a few recent stories similar to it, are making me think that Fat Girl Jihad was ahead of its time.

I wonder if this tub of goo cared about fat girls 10, 15 years ago?

Nah, I doubt it, but now that she is fat, ugly and would rather eat cupcake after cupcake than exercise - those mean old mens better stop it.

Another thing is these "think pieces" why do women support every inane bullshit theory with celebrities or singers? It's ridiculous.

It's ironic that cries to stop shaming women are the loudest when the said shaming is at its lowest levels ever. There has never been a greater concentration of white knights and ass-licking betas in existence than today. We are the few lone voices in the wasteland.

Yeah, white-knights are the worst, and seem to be proliferating. Why is feminism so appealing to women and even men when it is so obvioualy destructive? Weird.

You can get a phd in anything but that doesn't mean you will get a job anywhere.
