Of course Feminists love her. Play the first few games again:

- child of privilege living on daddy's money
- educated ie: 'intelligent'
- sarcastic
- ice queen
- don't need no man
- every man in the game belittles her for being a woman and makes sexually-threatening remarks showing that they're all just rapists
- can beat up men, despite her small size

I can easily imagine her with an American Accent and a major in Womyn's Studies. But even ugly women fantasise about being beautiful, because they know the power beauty holds.

Haha. However, no chance would she be in a gender studies class...she's too thin and wouldn't want to go on cupcake baking bonding excursions.

I can't believe I'm saying this, as the majority are hambeasts, but there are thin feminists. Rather than the baggage brought about by being ugly or overweight, they've identified as feminists due to factors like sexual abuse, low resilience from a life of extreme privilege, or classic 'daddy / parental ' issues. They're the ones who scream about slut shaming and rape more than fat shaming and the beauty industry. They all seem to have trashy tattoos.

Years back, I was regularly banging one from the North Shore of Sydney, (a very wealthy area at the time), who told me she'd never cooked a meal in her life. Her family had always eaten out for every meal. Her mother told her the kitchen was simply for preparing food for her 'babies', being her cats and dogs. The idea of cooking was both quaint and alien for her. You can guess who paid for her degree.

She was a beautiful girl, fucked up enough by feminism and privilege to act out by fucking lower class trash like me. I suspect feminism appeals to them because they have zero understanding of how normal people function, both socially and sexually, so don't see how ridiculous the concepts often are.

To be fair, I've never met a feminist in real life who is really a feminist in the sense of what we call it here. My brother's gf is a "feminist", but only in the sense that she has to call herself one if you know what I mean. These Tumblr, Jezebel types only exist on the internet because the internet is the only place that allows them a voice.

At least it keeps their fat arses off the streets.

I wonder if the manosphere overestimate the impact of traditional academic feminism, (this is what a feminist looks like, all men are rapists etc).

To me, the real danger is the women who will say they are feminists but would never, say, march in a violence against women / take back the night walk. Their feminism is about 'empowerment' and 'you go girl!' and being a wage slave and hyper-sexuality regardless of age. Their goal in life is to emulate fantasy, which leads to mentally-instability because simple, boring reality can't and won't ever satisfy them. They don't watch Sex In The City and see the exaggerated fantasy of a television show, but a map for their desired way of life. They actually think fantasy is both attainable, and what they are entitled to.

Indeed. Any university with a women's studies department will give them a voice. Hell, feminism has a voice on the news, in newspapers and magazines( and not just limited to trash like cosmo)

Yeah, I mean, do Lindy West-type views really gain traction in the mainstream zeitgeist? No. Every girl knows it is better to be pretty and thin, although many do not adhere to it, granted. Just ignore feminism and you don't notice it. Then again, I'm not American, so maybe it is more mainstream than I thought.

What does a gender studies major can do for a living? People are being paid now to be privilege checkers?patriarchy hammers?

They are most likely part of the 90 million Americans NOT working right now and getting a government check.

Who knows? Human Resources? Bank teller? Assistant Professor? "Professional" Blogger?

Worthless degree for worthless people.

This is what a femcunt looks like. There are some clips of her on youtube, she's got the foulest mouth I have ever heard. She couldn't handle real equality, trust me if she was a man she would have been shot by now.

Who was the alpha girl who created this look they're all emulating? I can't seem to picture any sexually-successful woman attracting a high value man whilst looking like this, but I see it again and again enough that it's got me curious.

You can call it Fridge Raider.

Ever notice how severely obese people always have a shitload of Diet Coke around?

Post: #90

Haha yeah I have! I honestly think fizzy drinks are a huge reason for obesity. The amount of fat women I used to see in work with their diet cokes used to make me laugh. Especially when they used to talk about weight... I'd always be the first to say "Stop drinking that crap for a start!". They'd be like "But it's DIET coke, right?".

I used to just smile and shake my head. What I wanted to say is "WELL IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING, IS IT?!"

Diet coke, or diet whatever. The problem is, they usually eat the stuff by the ton.

Post: #92

Quoted from one of these hambeast's pages:

"When I get dressed, I don't do it for the gaze of others. I choose to look exactly the way I want to. I am not concerned with appearing acceptable or within the boundaries of conventional beauty. This threatens men that can't imagine a world where a female doesn't live for the male gaze."

I call bullshit. They're dressing for approval from the gaze of other feminists / fat acceptance types. They've set a peer standard of 'acceptable non-beauty' for fat girls that's utterly-generic, and as restricting to them as traditional notions of beauty.

Look at all these unique snowflakes who believe they're breaking the mold with their style:

I thought feminists didn't like Lara Croft because she's hot and reinforces the "sexy girl with a gun" stereotype, thereby negating whatever points she gets for being intelligent, strong, and independent. If feminists made their ideal video game character she would be fat and manly to avoid objectifying women and reinforcing oppressive standards of beauty.

What I remember people talking about when Tomb Raider came out was her big polygonal tits, not how she's an empowering female role model. Then again the people I would talk with about it were other 5th grade boys who had never seen a real pair of tits and hadn't discovered internet porn.

Bosch, why do they ALL wear glasses? They can't all have bad eyesight. Could it be, perhaps, part of a uniform? Surely not, they're all unique and free from constraints of conformity, right?

I've always wondered about that.

Maybe diet foods have chemicals that make you fat.

Maybe removing fat from your diet makes your body think it's starving.

Or maybe people who eat diet foods tend not to exercise.

All of that is pure speculation on my part.

All diet foods are processed though, so they aren't as healthy as making your own food.

So.

I lost a lot of weight a few years ago (back when I had more willpower ) and part of my routine was drinking diet drinks rather than ordinary soda.

I was hungry all the time. Part of that was the limited diet I ate, certainly, but diet soda may have contributed to that.

Diet drinks, according to the study, would indirectly contribute to weight gain - if you are triggered to eat 350 calories by a 0-calorie diet drink, but would have only had a 150-calorie regular soda otherwise, well then obviously then there's a net gain. If you have the 0-calorie soda only despite whatever hunger is triggered, then you are net losing. Whatever the average additional input is, it must be higher than the calorie savings from a 0 calorie drink. If your average input is higher than what your regular soda would be, then yeah, there'll be a gain. If you soldier through it despite your protesting stomach, then there will be no gain.

So, the answer is as always a little unclear.

I'm guessing the train of thought for a Fatty goes like this:

- realises she's overweight;

- realises people judge overweight people based upon shallow, unexamined stereotypes of ugliness and laziness;

- decides to prove to everyone that their shallow, unexamined stereotypes of her as being ugly and lazy are incorrect and morally wrong, as no-one has the right to think they're better than anyone else;

- decides based upon her shallow, unexamined stereotype of beautiful people as being shallow and dumb that her lack of possessing any signifiers of traditional beauty therefore means she must possess higher intelligence than them, so is therefore better than them;

- decides based upon her shallow, unexamined stereotype of intelligence that smart people usually wear glasses;

- starts wearing attention-seeking glasses to reinforce the shallow, unexamined stereotypes of other people that smart people usually wear glasses;

- strangely, despite ridiculing the fifties and sixties as a time of oppressive patriarchy, picks vintage frames and thrift shop dresses from that era.
