McDonalds hits the sea
Um. Wow. Fatphobia much? Because obviously nothing like different natural body shapes, or thyroid and other health issues, or aging, or disability that prevents exercise, ever, ever happens. Every fat person obviously spends every single meal at a fast food joint and has no self-control. /sarcasm
And, ya know, misogyny, keeping women focused on our appearances so we don’t care about anything else and waste our time infighting because “OMG I hate her she’s so skinny” and “OMG I hate that fat cow”!
So hey—that four word commentary above mine? Yet another message for all us wimminfolk that we have to watch our waistlines or else we’ll be undesirable! Swallow it whole, because it’s better for you than any food!
Never Heard of Pick-Up Artists? Women, Beware!
Pick-Up Artists are men who have this idea that women are like those Bear Claw games with the stuffed toys in them—if you just manipulate them the right way, bing! You get a prize! There’s an entire culture of these men who talk about women like we’re conquests, and very often speak of us as being (surprise!) irrational, incapable of making clear decisions, and the only good woman is one who puts out. (By the way, the creepy looking dude in the picture above? He’s a noted PUA who shot a woman in the face. Probably not a popular PUA technique. Also, check out the comments in the article I linked to.)
Not scared enough yet? Here. have some more relevant links:
*….and part two of that excellent effort.
Oh, and in case I didn’t convince you to look at all that before? One of the “techniques” of PUAs is dealing with “Last Minute Resistance”. Just before you get to bed a woman, if she decides to say “no”, just wait a few minutes—and then try again! That’s not rape at all, right? /sarcasm
FUCK YEAH SATANISM
So where are the naked men?
One of my main issues with Lavey’s stuff is that women are relegated to being sex symbols, and “sexy satanic witches”. That’s supposedly where our power comes from—our cunts and the fact that men want them. That’s it. So we’re naked altars, and seductresses, while LaVey and the guys get to wear full garb and aren’t limited to their cocks when it comes to being empowered.
Let’s get this straight: “Men want my cunt” IS NOT A SUPER POWER. And it’s every bit as tiny a pedestal to be stuck on as “I am a spotless virgin”. It’s still MEN dictating what I SHOULD be, according to the ideals that they try to shove onto me. It’s heterocentric, and it’s valuing women based on our supposed sex appeal as judged by men.
Explain to me again how this is supposed to challenge the status quo? LaVey didn’t challenge shit. It’s just the same bullshit repackaged, yet again, by a cissexual man.
So. My partner has been watching the 2011 Teen Wolf series online. The only female werewolf is killed as a plot device to give power to a male werewolf. Anyone else seeing the Woman in the Refrigerator trend at work here? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_Refrigerators if you have no idea what I’m talking about.)
Also notable: all the characters are (apparently) white.
Dear Facebook,
No, switching over to leet speak as my language on my account and finding that “female” became “sandwich maker” was NOT amusing or funny or a good joke. It was sexist and disgusting; it’s basically another version of the bullshit misogynist putdown “get back in the kitchen”, used to belittle and marginalize women for entirely too long.
If FB for whatever had a “race” setting, would it be okay if the only option for black people was “n*****” or “slave”? Really, how did this even get through?
This is a pretty rotten Easter egg, folks.
No love,
Lupa
