What Wallows

The Fat Acceptance movement (which is 99.7% women): this woman doesn’t look like she’s attempting to emulate a hippopotamus, so she’s oppressing us.

Movements based on envy and wallowing in loserdom are never worth a damn.

Stop, It’s Hammerin’ ‘Em Time

“When you’ve been chased and harassed and abused, you get to the point where you’d rather fight and die than have to run again.”

The Violence, by Delilah S. Dawson

Been there. You’re a much more effective — and scary — fighter when you don’t care whether you live or die. When I reached that point is when I started winning against bullies who attacked me.

AIDS To Remembering

No pandemic? You should probably check again because there sure fucking was! AIDS.

She’s young, so she probably doesn’t remember. Still not any kind of excuse. But it changed the country and the world quite a lot. People basically know zero history, especially outside of their tiny little field.

Why Sydney Sweeneyโ€™s micromini outfit feels like a threat to body positivity: ‘So coveted yet unachievable’

LOL. It’s perfectly achievable. She looks really good, but she’s not even that fit. This is the slightly nicer version of the belief that anyone who doesn’t look like a walking dumpster has a “hate body.”

I’m old enough to remember when most women in their 20s (Sydney is 24) had bodies like that, before everyone thought being 300 pounds was a normal weight.
