Tumblr Launched 'Campaign' In Response To 'Fat-Shaming Anti-Feminist Meme' (qnd hateful anti-male comments are top)

I have a question: bow often does Broderick think about the men and boys used in feminist memes to mock men, male survivors of rape and domestic violence, and men's rights activists? How often does she consider that those men and boys posted their pictures for something other than being used to attack another group? If any of those men and boys complained about feminists using their image to mock them or some other group, would Broderick rally behind them? Better yet, how often Broderick worry about the dozens of men and boys whose pictures No Hope turned into "hilarious" memes?

I understand that Broderick may not like her image being used against her. However, I am sure that she and many other feminists have exploited other people's images to make a joke, mock a group, or turn someone's comment on its head. It is very hypocritical to complain about something being done to you while turning a blind eye when it is done to someone else, especially when it is done by people you like.

So, lemme get this straight.

A picture of a fat woman with "this is what a feminist looks like" / "pretty much what I expected" offends feminists so much that they organize to get a bunch of skinny women to take similar photos to scarequote diversify their image?

And we're the ones making fun of and shaming women for their weight issues?

About a week ago, when this first started, I asked "So, since they are offended by that caption under an overweight woman, would they have been preening and strutting proudly at an imagined compliment if it had been that caption under a more conventionally attractive woman?"

It was meant to be a rhetorical question, but I guess we have our answer now.

Social justice at work...more of the same.
