I don't see how my comment was sexist. I remain confused.

You'd have to ask cookie, I have no idea.

Not the comment in isolation-just the general attitude of the thread most of the time.

Right. Mine wasn't meant to be sexist at all. Just taking the piss out of people complaining that someone is in better shape than them.

Appropriate bump for this.

I am overweight, near obese according to BMI (but my body fat percentage is fairly low at least), yet I find this video absolutely fking brilliant and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing people lose their st over it.

Here's a new way to be offended:

So. Being complimented on how nice you look now constitutes a reason to be offended. Urrrrr. By what? Someone tells me I look stunning, I'd be saying THANK YOU!

Joyless fkers. Really.

Sexism, where people are treated badly for no reason other that their sex, is wrong. Being treated nicely? Eh?

Woman. And human rights lawyer. Some people think these lawyers are great but I can't react in the way I was supposed to when someone told me they were a human rights lawyer. They were expecting a "wow, that's great" whereas in my mind I just thought "wasting tax payer's money".

You'll find that no bloke will go within 100 feet of her now and certainly not say anything to her as she may construe meaning not intended.

Then she'll sue everyone for being nasty and not speaking to her.

Seems pretty creepy to me.

Not remotely. You want creepy? Google "Creepy Text Theatre". Now THAT's creepy!

This. LinkedIn is supposed to be a social network for professionals to network etc. - what that guy did is akin to going for a meeting with her (without looking her up first, I mean) and upon walking into the building, shaking her hand and saying "Wow, you're stunning!"

It wouldn't be acceptable to do that in a professional context face to face, so I don't see what was wrong in her taking offence. Making it public on the Twitters etc. was perhaps a bit far, though.

You'd probably love Jenna Marbles then. She's been around for years doing goofy rants into her webcam and can be really funny at times. I'd marry her tomorrow.

Not offensive enough, surprised she racks up that many views but yeah, marriage material.

Nicole Arbour has made a response to the hate it's caused, only seems to have mad things worse!

"Mr Khan has now asked TfL to set up its own advertising steering group."

I'm sure TfL have better things to do than deal with st like this.



Adverts promoting negative body images will be banned across the Transport for London (TfL) network from next month.. As part of his mayoral election manifesto Sadiq Khan pledged to ban adverts promoting "unhealthy or unrealistic" body images. The advertising watchdog received 378 complaints in 2015 about a weight-loss advert that asked customers if they were "beach body ready?"

[Oakey]

so not being fat is 'unhealthy' and 'unrealistic' now? And we're still trying to combat an obesity problem? Or have we just said "fk it" on trying to fix that?

If I was that protein company I would find some fat whale, stick her in a bikini and run that as "are you beach body ready?"

Yep. Great idea.

Play them at their own game.

Pretty sure I saw her in Barmouth last week.....is she from Barnsley?

Its crap isnt it, there are a few main types/mindsets,



1/ Spends all year working out, eating right and gets to pose and preen on the beach, looks great, generally annoying as fk, lads particularly when they have a six pack get it out at every opportunity, whether innapropriate or not, the women tend to dream up some imaginary flaw and go on about it "Im soooo fat", they are actually making the point that they arent and fishing for compliments.

2/ Looks like a pasty, wobbling block of lard or 2A/ looks like a little translucent, skinny alien, doesnt give a st, totally oblivious, gets on with it.



3/ This article is about the third type, fat and self concious, feels exposed and wears a massive fleece and cagoul on a roaring hot day at the beach, prentends to be cold, slightly jealous of the type 2 (ironic...) fat and happy type and massively jealous of the type one folk who are busy playing volleyball, acting all goofy, having loads of sex and generally enjoying being physically attractive, they then decide to piss on these people bonfire in the only way they can, going on about the objectification of women, yeah right, all those super fit young ladies with their perfect breasts bouncing about in Ibiza, lapping up all the attenion are worried about being objectified, nah, they are by and large loving being wanted, adored, its part of the human condition.

Being attractive makes life easier, otherwise quite dim women get to have lifestyles they couldnt dream of based on their own career possibilities, i.e. modelling or marrying a rich bloke, the office fitty always gets cut some slack by dopey men being nice in the vain hope she may hounour them with a shag where the dumpier one gets left to sort stuff out herself.

You can dress it up as unfair but we are animals, sure we break our programming here and there being the most intelligent species but we are still instinct driven, we objectify women, because we want to breed, women do it as well, they have the same set of insticts but perhaps arent as pathetic and desperate as us chaps with our Spawning Salmon mentality.

Its not pleasant really, but dressing it up and trying to make it all fair is just garnishing the real issue, if you spend all year doing nothing and eating pies, come summer you will look like a fat blob on the beach, I include my 17 stone self in that but I have fulfilled my biological imperative and am now not desperate to breed, I would like to be a bit thinner but I am not going to try and spoil it for the lads that have spent every spare hour exercising and pumping iron by saying women shouldnt weight them up, no toned pecs on adverts.

Generally, the answer is in our own hands, if we dont want to be fat, if we want to be desired and have the confidence to show off a bit, eat right, hit the gym, discard the instant gratification of crap food, like anything, effort is required to get a result.

I am being very general here, there are many variations and subtle differences but it is a truism and the naysayers would say sod that if they woke up slim and sexy just like socialist worker party members stop protesting when they get left a million quid.
