I could have sworn that the younger generations of men were more evolved. More mature. More egalitarian.
Maybe they are. But apparently not at the various fraternities at Johns Hopkins University.
To JHU’s credit, one of the articles has been pulled as of this writing. But what amount of booze allowed it to ever be published in the first place? Doesn’t anyone have any sense anymore?
Doesn’t anyone remember that overweight women can lose weight, but that stupid and boorish is forever?

This makes me absolutely ill. On so many levels. And I’m even more sensitive to this right now because, on the recommendation of some family members, I was reading Tucker Max’s _I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell_. So I am a bit hypersensitive to idiots slamming women because of their size.
My whole life I have been afraid of people making fun of me. It got worse as I got older. So I am one of those people who makes fun of myself first, as though I don’t really care, and woohoo! isn’t it funny??? Well, it’s not funny. And I do care.
I don’t for a second believe the “satire” crap they were trying to pull. It was misogynistic. It was derogatory. It was disrespectful. It was horrible.
At the same time, to be honest with you Bess, I take a little bit of offense from your last sentence. Yes, overweight women can lose weight. But why should they if they don’t want to? And I know that you know that. And I know that I’m being sensitive. Right now, I would probably get upset to hear the stupid sound that the Wii Fit makes when I step on the Balance Board. And when it is kind enough to tell me that I’m obese whenever I choose to weight myself with it.
Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh, Lord, Melinda…that wasn’t where I was going with the last sentence at all. I was just trying to say that weight and looks can and do change, but there’s nothing to be done about jerk.
My turn to say Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhh.
I know, Bess. Don’t worry about it. I was just in a place. And not a good place!
