Sorry ladies, it's a simple fact that you judge us differently than we judge you.

I don't think that picture's language is realistic. A body like the guy there is not the minimum requirement for just looking good. Plenty of entirely skinny or average guys have girlfriends who love them and who think they look good. Sure, they won't get exceptional attention from their body or be fought over for their body (what you were talking about) but that's not the same as simply looking good.

Agreed. Thanks for this.

Soo... should we go back to making fun of fat girls? Im getting mixed signals here.

[–]garglemesh42 6 points7 points8 points 11 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

She even mentions that body-shaming of women is bad, while unashamedly body-shaming men! What a bitch!

Not only that, she wonders why men are allowed to get by with being fat while women aren't - huh! Apparently she hasn't figured out that there's a whole movement about body-acceptance for women but not one for men! And if she thinks DeCaprio is fat, what about the rest of us? It's not like we all have 2 hours a day to go to the gym and get ripped.

edit: Hahahaha, go look at her other articles! She complains about men that don't meet her ridiculously high standards, but she's no prize herself. Problems with alcohol, etc. Wow. Tell me why we should give a shit what this moron thinks again?

[–]tehDemonseye 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Awful double standards.

Hopefully comments returned a bit of my long lost hope...

Of course Gigi Engle looks like the typical hair-bunned pale faux-fashionista feminist.

[–]Tmomp 6 points7 points8 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

When did the definition of masculinity start to mean weak, fat and lazy?

I'm sure she also has a piece shaming women who don't contribute as much money to the relationship as men, asking since when did femininity become synonymous with helplessness and dependence. She must dread each time she sees a diamond ring on a woman's hand when that woman didn't spend the same amount of money on something for the man.

Or maybe there's another piece where she recognizes people can be attracted to whatever they please and don't need her judgment.

That was by far the stupidest fucking thing i have read in a good long while,bitching that a millionaire has a smoking hot wife and that women shouldn't ALLOW it just what the flying fuck kind of retarded ass women are out there to think this.

Honestly i think im glad i live in the rural south where men are men and women haven't went full retard.

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 4 points5 points6 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If beauty standards are going to hold women to such ridiculously high expectations, why shouldn’t men be held to the same standard?

Likewise women if you don't earn at least as much as he does if not much much more you are a lazy deadbeat who isn't worth a second thought.

Your place is in the office, working. You won't see that paycheck of course, too busy working.

So this whole dad bod thing started with an article written by a woman? Why are men being blamed for what women find attractive? It wasn't men who declared dad bod to be the sexy new thing. It was women. The only people I'm hearing talking about this dad bod thing are feminist bloggers. It's almost as if they manufactured the whole thing just so they could have something to be faux outraged about so Elite Daily could drive more traffic to their website.

[–]Lrellok 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

There used to be a time when a masculine male was the guy with rippling abs and juicy biceps, who could build a house with his bare hands. When did being a lazy and fat slob become the standard?

Lemme introduce you to this group of people called pick up artists. Look! They have muscled...oh, did they cheat on you with five other women. Yeah, that's what they do sweety.

We need to start using the term "cake festival" more vigorously for all this have cake+eat cake nonsence.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This idea that so many women look fantastic is hilarious. Maybe in Spain or South America somewhere, but not the USA or UK.

Most guys with this so called "dad bod" are with women who look worse than them, or at the very least, no better. Looks like the comments set her straight anyway.

[–]chavelah 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If I can’t have a Mom Bod, your dad bod can get fcked.*

That's totally reasonable... but it's something for couples to decide between themselves. Sometimes partnered folks are both very fit, sometimes they are both absolute porkers, and some couples have an asymmetry in body composition and don't seem to care about it. Whatever, if they're happy with each other then it is nobody else's business.

[–]Swiggy 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

A feminist that demands everyone think like her? That's the first time I've seen that.

[–]Wargame4life -3 points-2 points-1 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

her opinion is fair enough, "women you better be trim and sexy, men the same applies to you"

its equality, if she was claiming women can be lard buckets but men must be trim then it would be unfair.

the gender flip of her opinion is all over reddit. i.e denouncing fat women with trim men.

she isnt forcing anyone to do anything she is merely setting her own preference about what is considered fair to her and what she deems socially acceptable. she isnt going to actively stop or prevent anyone pairing or liking who they want.

men being unfit lard buckets should be (and actually is) just as unappealing as women being lard buckets.

I am no lard bucket but if i was with a trim and beautiful women and i started to gain weight i have no problem with her telling me she finds it gross and expecting me to "trim up" for her.

[–]KamiNekoSama 6 points7 points8 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I think she is being unfair picking on Leonardo DiCaprio, the man is pushing 40 for crying out loud.

[–]Wargame4life 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

yes agreed, additionally 40 year old women who carry the same amount of extra weight dont get shunned or shamed by society, its their own insecurity. the fat shaming that occurs on the level she is talking about is generally the morbidly obese or hamplanets. slightly podgy 40 year olds are not the demographic

[–]Swiggy 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's not unfair, it's just retarded. He can pull supermodels because he's a rich and famous movie star which for a lot of women more than makes up for his average physique.
