Ranteuse, what’s up with that? She was a fat kid who got teased, so now she hates fat people? Not likely. Suggest you re-examine your assumptions about what happens to fat kids who get teased. On the whole, we do not turn into fat-hating assholes. Most people who got teased and bullied as children do not turn into bullies as adults.

Oh, wait. Were you just calling her fat because it was the meanest thing you could think of? Because that’s what it seems like to me.

“Postfeminist,” always and without exception, means “antifeminist.”

What’s worse is the women who agree with these men. Alkon has yet another anti-fat rant up today. The topic: a man is ranting about how his wife, after 7 years and 3 kids put on a whopping 20 pounds! The horror! She must be exiled from society. Of course, he doesn’t mention how heavy she was in the first place or what his current weight is.

My guess is that Alkon was a fat kid who got teased.

If anyone has any doubt that men hate women, just read the comments on that Alkon person’s website – you’ll get a quick reminder of what a random sampling of men think of you.

Sweet Lard, Sonia! I knew the name sounded familiar! Oh, the good ol’ Metro, the South Bay’s finest purveyor of eyeroll puns and massages for nice gentlemen. Why am I not surprised?

indeedses.

Alkon writes for our weekly county paper, The San Jose Metro. She always has some lame “postfeminist” nonsense to spew to people in need. and she is, totally, postfeminist=

“In worst cases, a woman will eat herself so big that Greenpeace tries to save her — until they realize that’s a scrunchie on her head, not a decorative blowhole.”

wow.

It makes perfect sense. I have a little poem about it.

There does seem to be a positive correlation between being a tool of the patriarchy and being a fat-phobe, doesn’t there? I believe that Coulter woman is also a hater of anyone with meat on their bones.

Ever read any of Amy Alkon’s rants about any woman who doesn’t look like a twig? According to her fat woman are repulsive freaks who don’t deserve happiness or a sex life. Per Amy Alkon, only a fat fetishist likes a full figure gal. I guess I’m imaging all those couples where the woman is plump, chubby or even rotund that I see every day.

Oddly enough, she has yet to criticize overweight men or claim they should expect to be treated like crap.

@downfall: “An excellent argument for fixing schools and related racial justice. A not so excellent argument for, assuming a fair test, mandating diversity among those who order around the guys who rescue people from burning buildings.”

Well, here’s your problem: you’re “assuming a fair test.” If a test is easy for one group of people (say, white men) and nigh impossible for another group of people (say, black men), well the test just ain’t fair. It is biased. This is simple statistics. Educational testing companies spend years sorting out which questions are biased and which aren’t before they land in, say, the SAT. It is, alas, an inexact science, but the results of this particular test situation are pretty clear: the test is biased and/or, possibly, the test preparation was biased. In other words, black firemen were provided with less training than white firemen.
