For strong womyn everywhere: "Internet Plus Equality"

[Veho]

Fat pride is synonymous with denial.

As FAST already pointed out, "denial" sounds like "de nile" which sounds like The Nile. You know what used to live in the Nile; in fact, was so synonymous with the Nile that their name in many languages means "horse of the Nile"? Hippos. Hippos are fat and proud of it. Fat pride, denial. Half-Life 3 confirmed.

2) It is entirely possible to be legitimately proud of being fat; it is not in line with much in the way of established logic but it is possible.

Cognitive dissonance is all too real.

"now we want the world to dumb down because we’re apparently too delicate and sensitive to handle basic reality?"

Oh my fucking god, this is so true. People asking for extremely unrealistic world changes, basically asking for the entire world to soft-pad everything so they don't get hurt by the most basic things ever because they're too weak to comprehend the real world.

These people are completely inert because they were over-sheltered and pussified (no offense) as if they never stepped out of their house until they were adults.

I know age 21 does mark the start of adulthood, or at least allow you to drink which is endlessly amusing to most of the rest of the world, but if they step out of the house at 18 and into three years of college/university (see the rest of the thread for several examples of behaviours there) then it can be even worse than that.

Isn't "fat activism" an oxymoron? Shouldn't it be called "fat slacktivism"?

Maybe. I mean, they call "fat activism" a movement, but I don't see any of the "activists" doing any moving.

Armchair activism is a well documented concept, even if it is ultimately similar to "I believe and that is a kind of proof" when it comes to logic.

That reminds me of a post I found on Reddit once. It was a screencap of a Reddit comment thread. The OP of the comment thread was basically saying this the whole time:

"Here's my experience about being anorexic and fat. I gained weight even though I didn't eat a single thing for several years. Yes, I know about the law of thermodynamics. Yes, I know about the law of conservation of mass. Bodies do not follow those laws, because of that one time I swear I didn't eat a single thing but still gained 100lbs. Your body sees the lack of food and tells it to continue storing fat. What do you mean, fat can't come from lack of food? It happened to me! I swear!"

In reality, they may have been eating without really realizing it. I know I do that sometimes. I'll go in the kitchen for a glass of water and leave with a bag of chips that I've already started munching away on just because the bag had been sitting next to the glasses...

There's also the fact that they body will severely bloat from malnutrition (not to the extent of gaining 100lbs, but maybe 10-15 if you're a teenager)

Yeah, but they were talking more along the lines of "not eating is why I'm obese"...

I know, I was saying why that's a really stupid argument (sorry if that wasn't apparent)

Huh. I must be sort of dense today. Must be the poor weather we're having right now.

Modern day feminism is a joke.

Nah, I disagree. I actually totally respect the majority of the feminist movement. It's the "FemiNazis" that get me a bit heated

I feel that feminism is not need in first world countries, but where women are treated like shit. Feminists should focus on men's rights in first world countries.

That's not feminism then. That would be maninism, egalitism or humanism.

Would be cool to get a mens right movement going as strong as the womens right movement is.

But once again "Prejudice AND power you misogynist shitlords!"

Feminism is the equality of both men and women. But that's not what feminazis believe.

Maddox is at it again.

This time he destroys the 23% wage gap. Or does he simply mansplain it away?
