I'm just gonna tackle all these at once: quote:
ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep Men have man-boobs, paunches, extra chins, and lovehandles, too, but somehow it's like they feel entitled to be fat, while still believing that women should, at all times, conform to the thin=beauty standard. average and chubby men really have no business chastising similarly shaped/sized women, and yet for some reason, they are more than willing to do so. if you look through profiles, you will see plenty of fat men, too -- i wonder why they are "disproportionally attracted to the lifestyle?" at the events i go to, a good portion of the men are bigger, and of the ones who aren't, many of them might have thin arms and legs, but they have substantial beer guts. why do they think this is acceptable? All of this. ^^^^ Especially the bolded parts. I'm not trying to jump on fat men, what I am doing is pointing out that fat men have no business chastising fat women. I mean WTF?? quote:
ORIGINAL: MistressSnow What ever happened to our OP? Is he gone? I think so, and I think that's pretty funny really. He still has a CM profile visible, but he's not coming anywhere near this hornet's nest he started. laughing quote:
ORIGINAL: Hera462 There are MANY people who use a disgust or hatred of fat as a self motivator to stay with in normal societal norms of acceptability. There are people who see a fat person and automatically think of the current prejudices put upon them such as them being slovenly, lazy, low will powered, and undesirable. There is study after study about just this. Studies where young girls are asked if they would rather be fat or lose an arm and the vast majority pick the latter. There are mounds of evidence to suggest it is not just a matter of working out and eating well and that fat cells are set in childhood, yet these stereotypes still exist. http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketscience/2008/05/fat_cell_number_is_set_in_childhood_and_stays_constant_in_ad.php And many people have told me that, when they were thinner, they were totally oblivious to the negativity and judgmentalism toward fat people. Then, when they put extra pounds on, their eyes were immediately opened to the the reality and depth of it all. I can say for myself that, as thyroid problems developed causing a slower metabolism and, as I had to start taking certain meds that also cause weight issues, I've heard WAY more negative comments come from self-righteous and holier than thou people who think I don't hear them. I eat healthy, exercise and blah blah blah, but I'm still fat. quote:
ORIGINAL: NocturnalStalker So if I prefer slender females I am now a bigot towards fat females. I wouldn't call a preference bigotry. I would call it bigotry if someone makes a point of saying negative things about fat people, rather than just saying they prefer those who are thinner. quote:
ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus we would be a lot less huffy if the OP hadnt gone on to talk about how a fat gal couldnt get raped because she was undesirable... This! ^^^^ BIG-TIME.
