Usually disadvantaged people have a movement. I believe feminism wasn't started because they wanted power like attractive women and I don't care if you think otherwise. Feminism now may be about power but not before. <br /><br />As an ugly, fatty myself I don't like men either. Yes I can lose weight and fix myself up but I chose not to. And yes that is my problem and my fault but guess what? You men get what you dish out. For example..<br /><br />Fat women and ugly women like myself mostly get ignored by men...so I ignore men also. <br />Men don't like ugly, fatties like myself and I don't like men either.<br />Men are usually bitches towards ugly, fatties like myself and so I act like a bitch too. <br />Have you ever watched youtube videos of lesbians (which are usually ugly and fat like men say) fighting men? Whoever started the fight doesn't matter because I bet a million dollars if she was petite, feminine and especially attractive the man would have let that shit slide. No I don't care if YOU would have said something or done something most men take shit from attractive women compared to unattractive women. So if a man wants to fight or hits me first then I will fight or hit back. Once I was at a supermarket and the attractive female cashier told the other cashier, who's a male, that she didn't want to do him a favor. Yes she was mean, but I know her and she's nice to me (no she's not gay or you probably knew that since I said she's attractive) and guess what he did? He smiled then laughed and said "wow that was mean, you're mean". If she was fat and ugly she would have gotten her teeth knocked out. <br /><br />When I need a favor done, when I need help, when I need a ride home, when I need cashi can assure you that a man wouldn't be there. Nothing wrong with that. Absolutely NOTHING. <br /><br />Men are usually my friend. Men and I are NOT lovers in any way shape our form. Just....friends. <br /><br />If I sound misandrist then I don't apologize I'm just sharing my experience. So no I'm not a misandrist <br />I'm just one of the guys :-)<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-29710804983629767932013-11-27T12:45:07.088-08:002013-11-27T12:45:07.088-08:00Read Nancy Etcoff's The Science of Beauty.

There has never been an objective measure of attractiveness, I went to Ghana this year, and where I went to had an objection to blokes going topless, due to Judeochristian influence, and a local girl actually swooned when she saw my chest hair, basically because the locals don't have body hair so much, she also had hairy legs, and that was considered an unusual mark of attractiveness and maturity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-73706282476815188442013-11-02T18:46:41.270-07:002013-11-02T18:46:41.270-07:00I'm not done yet. Here's more:
- Women mo...I'm not done yet. Here's more:<br /><br />- Women mock men of low social status. Where's the outrage there? We men, though, think that a woman who doesn't shave her armpits isn't as attractive as one who does. Sounds quite plausible to me. What was your point again?<br /><br />- if she's got something to say, she should say so. That person even wrote a comment on this blog, but she quickly retreated. She was wholly unconvincing. Poor little girl. Oh, and if she didn't "give a shit" she surely wouldn't have wasted her precious time to comment on this blog. Further, elite universities are not for the smartest but primarily for the rich. I've met enough extremely dull people who went to "elite" universities. If you went to one yourself, you might be able to confirm this. Oh, wait, you did a degree in some gender bullshit thingy, so forget what I just wrote. Thinking independently is clearly not your strong suit, so the few PR speeches of your chancellor surely helped convincing you that you're one of the future movers and shakers.<br /><br />- That girl uses one aspect of her physical appearance --- her unshaved armpit --- to make a point. So, why would I then ramble about the patriarchy and whatnot instead of stating the obvious, namely that it's not very attractive when young women don't want to shave their armpits. Also, I think you have to be quite stupid to make some kind of statement based on your ugly hairy armpit. Presumably this girl wants to attract an attractive partner, too. But if she choses ideology as a companion instead, then more power to her.<br /><br />- The "ideals" of beauty didn't change quite as much as you think. Nancy Etcoff wrote an interesting book on that topic, called "Science of Beauty", if I recall correctly.<br /><br />- Okay, we men want that our women shave their armpits and legs. You women want that we make a lot of money so that you can spend it. Again, where is the outrage? Oh, and you shallow women want tall men. Ideally 6 feet and above. When we men say that we want young, attractive women, we're sexists who objectify women --- and somehow when you women say that you want at tall man with a fat wallet, then you're not objectifying at all. But, hey, who gives a fuck about logical inconsistencies?<br /><br />- Men with beards are attractive. Women with hairy armpits aren't.<br /><br />- Sure, she can chose whatever she wants. All you feminists can. But then don't tell us men what we're supposed to do either. It seems you feminists don't like that men are on a "marriage strike" and that more and more of us give the finger to society, and refuse to marry some washed-up single mom, or don't buy into the bullshit of having a "career' anymore (women are falling hook line and sinker for that one, though).<br /><br />- Better education? Yeah, if I were you I'd ask for a refund.Aaron Sleazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704230661761052919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-74657425275596417972013-11-02T18:46:18.941-07:002013-11-02T18:46:18.941-07:00So many words, so little content.
If you've g...So many words, so little content.<br /><br />If you've got an evening to spare, then please read Karl Popper's critique of psychoanalysis, and then ask yourself how this might apply to feminism and it's inane theories.<br /><br />I wonder what your major in college was. It couldn't have been anything involving critical thinking because otherwise you wouldn't have made such a fool out of yourself on my blog. Don't believe me? Here, watch this:<br /><br />- if you acknowledge that there are biological differences, then why do you think that "gender" is merely a "construction". Surely biology would play a role too, wouldn't it?<br /><br />- Read up on the pay gap myth. If men are paid more, it's because they are more qualified and have more experience. Surely it's fine that Marissa Mayer is one of the highest-paid CEOs in the world, but if a male CEO makes more --- again, look at achievements and experiences for an explanation --- then it's an outrage.<br /><br />- Looking at graduates, you have to take into account that wages are determined by supply and demand. If you're a guy in IT you'll probably be making a lot more money than a girl who majored in gender studies and who can only get a job at Starbucks. However, she had received all the support she could have wanted. It was her choice to not care about mathematics and sciences. We've got equality of opportunity. What you want is equality of outcome. Tell me, why should a barista at Starbucks make as much as the guy whose fine-tuning the database system at your bank?<br /><br />- Where are the fact about the patriarchy? You tried making a point about the gender pay gap and you failed miserably. Put your "first class degree" to good use and tell me why you only look at some dubious averages instead of taking experience and qualifications into account.<br /><br />- What rights do women lack? Seriously, you sisters are so screwed up that you don't even realize that you've fucked yourselves over royally with feminism. Are you aware that in the 70s a family could get by very well on just one salary. What's the current situation? I mean, after you feminists managed to undermine the family unit and fought for equality in the workplace? Now you work your shitty jobs at Starbucks while your mothers had six hours a day to groom their dog and read some light literature. (I'm exaggerating, but you surely get the point.)<br /><br />- Unshaved armpits aren't sexy. Sorry. But go ahead and try to fight nature. I mean, you feminists also try to tell men that they have to date older women and single mothers, so just tell them they've got to bang fatties and fuglies, too. Normally, you'd tell young girls that if they want to get a decent guy they've got to look nice.Aaron Sleazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704230661761052919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-85010744542432261982013-11-02T18:14:15.116-07:002013-11-02T18:14:15.116-07:00So why don't you feminists don't campaign ...So why don't you feminists don't campaign against male circumcision? How many girls are getting circumcised in the US every year? Probably zero. How many guys are affected?<br /><br />Yes, please do read up on history. Then tell me how many million men died in wars. Surely the number is several orders of magnitude higher than the number of women. Also, you feminists only ever look at men who were part of the elite. Look at the average guy instead, and then tell me how they were ever more advantaged than women. Feminism is a complete joke. No matter if you'er a man or a woman, if you're a feminists you are by definition stupid and a hypocrite since you disregard all facts that would question your ideological view of the world.Aaron Sleazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704230661761052919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-32800778724541786602013-10-30T12:15:48.563-07:002013-10-30T12:15:48.563-07:00I've actually never read the Vagina Monologues...I've actually never read the Vagina Monologues or the ‘SCUM Manifesto’. I've read academic essays. I have a First Class degree from a top university in my subject; I'm more qualified to talk about feminism than you are. So don't patronise me, or tell me I need to be 'hit in the face with a biology book' (thanks) because you're mistaking sex and gender to be the same thing. Sex, as in the organs that make us male or female, is different to gender, which is what we PERCEIVE 'masculinity' or 'femininity' to be. THESE are culturally constructed. And the pressures which are the result of these constructions affect BOTH men and women. So the ideas that claim men should look and behave in a certain way, and that women should look and behave in a certain way- these are what I mean when I talk about constructions, not bodily organs. Feminism is thus progressive for both sexes. It’s about NOT judging people based on pre-conditioned ideas about their gender, which is exactly what you do here on this blog (you verbally attack and bully a girl for having let her underarm hair grow. It’s ludicrous).<br /> You want facts? Women managers in the United States are paid 81 cents for every dollar earned by male managers. In Australia, the gender pay gap is widening, with male university graduates now expected to earn on average $5,000 per year more than their female counterparts. I could go on, but there really is no point in arguing over which sex has ‘suffered the most’ throughout history. Because it is a fact that patriarchy does exist, it always has, and it still does, throughout the world. In many eastern countries women are still considered second class citizens; they do not have the same rights as men. You simply cannot argue with this. Feminists fight for equality- this is beneficial for everyone. Unless of course, you’re a fascist! <br /> Anyway- what's so hilarious about all this is that you PROVE that there IS a great need for feminism, simply by the existence of this blog. You seriously think that it's ok for you to post a photo of a person you've never even met, to attack her verbally and publicly for for her own personal choice not to remove a bit of her body hair? You think that is an acceptable way to behave- to treat another person as if she is merely an object for your own satisfaction?! <br /> You're exhibiting exactly the same kind of attitude that has existed in previous times, which says that women should simply look pretty, and be seen and not heard. Come on! In 2013, women aren't going to put all their efforts into catering for these outdated requirements. This girl is studying at Cambridge- she doesn't give a shit what you think about her appearance! That's the point- you objectify her, attacking her for not living up to your idea of the 'ideal' woman, merely in terms of her visual appearance. You see women as sexual objects rather than as people- human beings, who should have the same rights as you do. She has every right to choose not to conform to any ‘laws’ of ‘beauty’ (beauty itself is always a construction, which is evidenced by the changing ideals throughout history. It is a recent expectation placed on women to remove parts of their body hair) by choosing not to waste her time on hair removal- which is painful, and expensive- just to please shallow individuals like yourself. It’s the equivalent of her having a go at a man for letting his beard grow. How dare he! <br /> What’s important is that both men and women should be able to choose what they do to their bodies, and not have to give in to pressures driven by constructed ideas about what is ‘acceptable’ for men to look like, and for women to look like. It’s all total bullshit. Life is too short. I was going to say it would be nice if you stopped vomiting up all this vile misogynist hate onto the internet, but actually, you’re doing feminism a favour, because you’re simply proving that there is still a great need for it, for change, and for better education. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-25825434817509151962013-10-29T07:21:27.396-07:002013-10-29T07:21:27.396-07:00Seriously, you're the one spouting ideological...Seriously, you're the one spouting ideological drivel. You're a misogynist. I am not a misandrist. Feminism is not misandristic. <br /><br />I can assure you that I am all for equality, and I consider male circumcision to be an equally important issue to FGM- in fact, it's a perfect example of the way in which BOTH genders suffer due to the cultural forces I was talking about above.<br /> <br />There's no need to be so rude. Try to read some real theory on gender studies, and also, just for a minute, consider what you're saying in the CONTEXT of history. As a feminist, I'm not having a go at you for being a man- feminists don't 'hate' men! Many, many feminists are men- intelligent men. It's clear from your comments about this that you are ideologically driven, and full of disgusting, irrational hate. It's bizarre, pathetic and sad.

Sure, ther...I can't believe how stupid you are. Sure, there are some male feminists. We refer to them as manginas, and it's partly because they lack the insight to stand up for themselves. Feminism isn't about equal rights at all, just like the Church gives a crap about upholding morality (with an army of child molester, no less). Did it ever occur to you that women live longer, work less, are hardly ever affected by homelessness, or have the legal system on their side when they want to divorce their husband and take the kids? What about "equality" in higher education? Nowadays there's 1.5 women for each man in the tertiary sector. Yet, there is still affirmative action for "women and minorities". However, I never witnessed any kind of support for men in fields that are dominated by women. How come, if you cunts are all for equality?<br /><br />If you think that "sex" is a social construct, then someone should slap you hard with a biology textbook, seriously. What do you think makes women grow tits? Do you think it might have anything to do with hormones, or is it just because we treat little baby girls differently than little baby boys?<br /><br />There is no wage gap once you take qualifications and experience into account. Or do you think some chick working as a shopping clerk at Gap should make the same as a highly trained software engineer at Google? If that software engineer was female and as qualified, she would make the same as her male colleague. As simple as that.<br /><br />Oh, you talk about female gender mutilation (FGM). That's funny, because last time I checked there was something called "male circumcision" aka male gender mutilation which involves having part of your penis cut off. Of course you feminists don't give a flying fuck about that.<br /><br />Instead of reading ideological drivel you should do something else: think. Yes, that's right, remove that fucking dildo from your vagina while you're engulfed in the SCUM Manifesto or the Vagina Monologues and ponder over something strange called "facts".Aaron Sleazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704230661761052919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-27862765452660898152013-10-22T11:04:22.963-07:002013-10-22T11:04:22.963-07:00Is this a joke? If it is, it's pathetically un...Is this a joke? If it is, it's pathetically unfunny.<br /><br />Firstly, NEWSFLASH: You don't have to be a woman to be a feminist. So your point about feminists being merely 'unattractive' females is completely redundant. Plenty of men are feminists. Attractiveness doesn't come into it. <br /><br />You demonstrate a pathetic ignorance, a disgusting shallowness and colossal short sightedness. You clearly haven't grasped the mere concept of feminism: it's about EQUAL RIGHTS. It's about an equality that is, would you believe it, beneficial for both sexes. Feminism questions and attacks the forces which throughout history have created binary oppositions between the sexes, and serves to deconstruct them. Ideologies which have plagued conceptions about gender differences, about what 'femininity' and 'masculinity' should be. Biology is irrelevant, these are cultural constructions. You blindly fall into what you have been sold by the media as 'attractive', and you simply cannot claim it to be 'natural'.<br /><br />Read a book. Try to understand, try to empathise. Feminism is not trying to 'steal power' it's about generating a BALANCE of power, which currently does not exist. Think about the wage gap. Think about FGM. Think about the abominable pressure on young girls to be sexy, and the pressure on young boys to be macho. Feminism celebrates diversity and equality, values which I'm not sure you even understand. <br /><br />Not sure why I've even wasted time posting this, because evidently you're the kind of moron that judges someone on whether they remove certain parts of their own body hair or not. Women will be glad you avoid them, because it will save them the time of having to interact with you to realise what a total airhead you are, which is, I can assure you- extremely unattractive.

Almost all have some bizarre self-mutilations like pieces of metal protruding from flesh or paint injected into skin (why would anyone do something like that oneself?).<br />Rubber legs everywhere, lack of biologically correct body hair patterns.<br />Then some weird substances painted on face, changed hair colour.<br />What the fuck? It's like I'm on site of a nuclear plant disaster or something.<br />I'd rather be forever alone than sleep with any of these degenerate mutants.<br /><br />As for natural-looking body being invention of femists. It certainly wasn't invented by a woman. It was more like their boyfriends being like "Why are you doing stuff like this to your body? Look I don't do stuff like this to my body. Can't you be a normal person like me?".<br /><br />Obviously the specimen on the photo is disgusting because heir colour certainly isn't real and she has some disgusting shit smeared on her face.<br /><br />Anyway, about a question of why removal of sexual features is prevalent? Because not-shaving can't sell depilation and shaving tools, so any magazine sponsored by the fashion-cosmetic industrial complex will present shaving as normal and desirable. The same with smearing faces with filth.<br /><br />By the way, I hate women who use discrete make-up and natural looking to pretend they are pretty or beautiful when they are not so genetically. Fucking poseurs, pretty people club should be reserved for those who were born into it.<br />When I look into a mirror I see a genetic angelic face.

Look at this hot scene from a very popular movie. And European women weren't shaving them either just some 50 years ago. So it's just a cultural thing really. I've heard older men say that they find shaved armpits ugly. The same goes for pubic hair.studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08630609210876207133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-13198226112769353642013-06-24T07:53:33.286-07:002013-06-24T07:53:33.286-07:00"While a lot of men object to body hair in th..."While a lot of men object to body hair in theory (and in cases like this, where all you have is a woman's picture up for scrutiny, rather than her presence and interaction), I've never actually had any difficulty attracting men in my day-to-day life. Make of that what you will."<br /><br />You must be deliberately missing the taken aback looks that these men give you once you raise your arms.<br /><br /><br /><br />After this campaign, I ended up writing an article for one of the Cambridge student papers - you might like to read it:<br /><br />"The reason Oxford and Cambridge interview applicants is the exact opposite of the one you give; it's an attempt to look at a student's raw potential, regardless of how well they've been taught.

Why not interview everyone that applies? After all, everyone has "raw potential" that can be gauged.<br /><br />Furthermore, while grade inflation and teaching incompetence is a problem, your "Good Will Hunting" fantasy thinking is simply unrealistic. A teacher that "coaches" "average" students into good grades is a good teacher. And most underperforming students are not secretly talented individuals being "held down" by an incompetent teacher (otherwise, how do you explain the high achievers in the classes of these "bad teachers"?).<br /><br />Most college interviews are for shallow reasons. The interviewer, through face-to-face interaction, is attempting to gauge whether the applicant "fits in" with the college (i.e. is the applicant a conformist?).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-67159762859656598342013-06-23T16:00:51.653-07:002013-06-23T16:00:51.653-07:00The girl is actually repulsive - least of all beca...The girl is actually repulsive - least of all because of theunderarm hair. <br /><br />She won't shave her armpits, which takes about five minutes, but she will spend an hour or so every day, probably for the rest of her life, applying expensive makeup on a face which is proportionally grotesque (manjaw). She senses this, and that is of course why she does it. <br /><br />Her whole appearance and demeanor exude self-absorption with appearance. She wants to look "cute", but also wants to offend men - who perhaps aren't genuinely as interested in her as other members of her cohort, as she discovered in adolescence - by a token gesture of socially-approved beastliness. <br /><br />Sad fact. Underarm hair is merely an amusing, self-imposed blemish on a character irreparably warped by feminism and defeat in the 'liberated' sexual marketplace. <br /><br />She doesn't need feminism - whatever that is in 2013 beyond institutionalized shaming of men - but a simpler time when her homeliness would not have impelled her to disguise low self-esteem under layers of makeup, cheap fashions, and cheap shots at male appetite.

However, let me point out that we were not so much concerned with your level of attractiveness as we discussed, among other things, the effect of hairy armpits to the perceived attractiveness of women in general. In general (!), hairy armpits are less attractive than shaved armpits. That there may be some guys out there who don't object to hairy armpits does not refute this general fact. Surely, such a bright up-and-coming young woman like you who will soon have a (Cantab.) behind her name should be able to make this distinction and look beyond her own horizon.<br /><br />Secondly, dear Virginia, I should point out to you that it is occasionally worthwhile to question official doctrines. If Oxbridge really wanted to allow more sons and daughters of the plebs entrance to their holy grounds, they would admit more of them. However, as a quick look at the statistics shows, graduates of "public schools" such as Eton and Marlborough are grossly overrepresented. Of course, you can now make the argument that the sons of the rich are simply smarter and more hard-working than the sons of the 99%, but you surely don't believe in fairy tales anymore, or do you?

I'm the girl in the picture you used.<br /><br />While I appreciate you and your commenters' attempts to gauge my level of attractiveness, you also might find it interesting to know that, while a lot of men object to body hair in theory (and in cases like this, where all you have is a woman's picture up for scrutiny, rather than her presence and interaction), I've never actually had any difficulty attracting men in my day-to-day life. Make of that what you will.<br /><br />After this campaign, I ended up writing an article for one of the Cambridge student papers - you might like to read it:<br /><br />http://cambridge.tab.co.uk/2013/05/27/body-hair-get-over-it/<br />(The title and byline are a bit extreme; they were put in by the editor, not me.)<br /><br />Aside from the hair issue, I wanted to reply to this comment, because it's just factually incorrect, and a damaging view to perpetuate. The reason Oxford and Cambridge interview applicants is the exact opposite of the one you give; it's an attempt to look at a student's raw potential, regardless of how well they've been taught. Because A-levels are so driven by mark schemes, it's easy for a good teacher to coach mediocre students into top grades, and for talented students to underperform through bad teaching. The interview is an attempt to circumvent this, precisely because it's not about jumping through hoops, but, for the most part, about reacting spontaneously to unseen material.

This is why interviews are so important for admissions, because if you only looked at grades or standardized test scores, you might end up admitting more than a few token yokels in. Universities started out as little more than drinking clubs for the elites, and little has changed in this regard. Holding a degree from a "renowned" institution says much more about your socioeconomic class as well as your ability to jump through hoops, but not so much about how smart you are.Aaron Sleazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704230661761052919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-16841139039506838362013-06-18T09:50:53.365-07:002013-06-18T09:50:53.365-07:00Women who don't shave their armpits are certai...Women who don't shave their armpits are certainly less attractive.

As is this 'controversy' about women who do not remove body hair. Not all feminists refuse to remove body hair, and having ones natural body hair does not make one ugly. These are very obvious realities. It is all down to cultural conditioning, and yes, I accept that most men want women to remove most of their body hair. But women who do not are not automatically ugly, or feminist (hippy women for eg - often hairy, often not feminist)....https://www.blogger.com/profile/01091213938795498181noreply@blogger.com
