'Sweat-Shaming' Is Sexist Says Writer for the Guardian

so I just returned from a vacation in the philippines and people there frequently handed me towels because I am from an arctic climate and sweated a lot while there in their tropical climate... that means I was sweat-shamed right? or does it not apply cause I'm a man/white/patriarchy?

Annnnnd that's another Poe-meter broken.

Check the link to the guardian article and the guardian selected comment:

"No idea, but this is not clutching at straws. it explores another aspect of people and their obsession to have women looking ladylike at every given moment . This kind of insidious behaviour is why the world has less women interested in sports and fitness."

Meanwhile the Dalits in India are being raped daily. Glad my cohorts in vagina-having hood have their priorities straight.

Sweat-shaming!

Are you just looking at things in the room and saying they're shaming?

...l...lamp-shaming

Is there anything that's not "shaming"? I feel like the majority of the things that woman complain about are what other women think about themselves. I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a man that honestly cares that woman should look "lady like" at all times.

This is also part of the strategy that feminists use: subjective terminology. "Lady like" is going to mean slightly different things with each person that you ask to define it. Making up a non existent person or group of people who are complaining about subject concepts or ideas is feminism and the female mind to the T.

Whenever I read these articles I swear it's really got to be The Onion behind it.

This is the shit that makes me sexist, this is the shit that makes me think women can't hack it, that they are insecure, that they need rescue from every little setback in life. It is so pathetic!

Absolutely Fucking Retarded. A man could have wrote this article word for word as parody with intent to slander women's feeble state of mind, yet that is not the case and it's published with a straight face proudly.

Guardian comments closed... take a gander at the Guardian Pick comment.

I love the way a women commenting on another woman, trying to make idle conversation is existential evidence to support a culture that shames women. Another case of a silly human projecting their own insecurities on the world, then having a good ol' moan.

I love the fact that in the guardian article, another piece titled "Ten things feminism has ruined for me"; a satire piece.

Maybe the sweat shaming is also a satire? I really hope so for my last few shreds of faith in humanity.

This is not an issue. People get sweaty. And it is/can be disgusting. Get over it.

I guess when it happened to Nixon, it was different, because it wasn't gendered?

Millenia0 · 2015-10-02T02:44:45+00:00

Everything seems to be sexist and a feminist issue nowadays. I guess they're just trying to water themselves out so they dont have to actual deal with important shit like how women are treated in the middle east for example.
