    I'm going to use this thread to dump articles that I like on feminism and other topics relating instead of making individual threads for each.

    This is a great article on body issues written by Lindy West that everyone should read.

    Sorry, I not keen on fat. It aint sexist thing, fat guys are more repulsive than fat women, and all this can't help it bullshit, no way. I never met anyone that's fat that dont eat ten times as much as I do. Waste of the planets resources, and how come I got pay extra to take 20kg bag on a plane when someone that weights 50kg more than me gets it for free, huh? Eat, shit, eat, shit, shit, eat, die. Should be illegal. Yeah, Disney should be banned too, fuckers. Especially them fucking annoying songs. Its all shit.

    on the far right of the control panel is a button labelled "video", click it and put the youtube/vimeo/whatever link in the middle. ;)

    otherwise it looks like this:

    You reckon the food they don't eat will get to those who need it? :ecouteurs:

    Yeah, I discriminate against fat. I also discriminate against nazis, racists, bastards, etc... You know why? Cos they are full of shit, and they choose to be that way, and they cause harm to the world. I try to cause least harm, I don't hassle anyone unless they hassle me, I try not use much electricity etc, eat as littsle as I can, and what I do eat is vegan. I try to gr0w as much as I can myself. So... why the fuck shouldn't I discriminate against anyoine that don't do that? Especially some fat bastard that gets 2 seats on a bus and only pays for 1? I aint special, if I can take a little care about how much I consume and how much of my shit I dump on the planet, any fucker can. There is NO excuse. We share this planet, and it aint that big. I got no respect for anyone that take more than they need. If tags don't work you can get the embed html from You Tube but dunno what this sites policy is on custom html in posts (?). I would have thought the food they don't eat would have never got produced to start with. All food is dead stuff, less food means less things killed. Well, except fruit, you can eat as much fruit as you want.

    How do you spell 'woah/wo/woe' like when you wo a horse? Anyway...

    WOH! WOH! WOH!


    Fat people have no intention of hassling you. Not intrinsically, anyway.

    While I agree to some extent, there's a limit. Not everyone is comfortable being that hardcore. I live in a flat with no chance of getting any land to grow shit. I buy my (vegan) food at shops - often whole-food, sustainable type places but sometimes big UK supermarkets like Sainsbury's or even Tesco (never Asda or M&S, though, I have my limit). I hope I'm not considered that much of an arsehole because of it. I try to leave a small footprint - I have no car, no tv, my only electrical vice is my laptop. However, I don't think those that are less conscientious about these things are bastards. Anger at someone taking up to seats on a bus seems a bit petty.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with being a bit on the big side. Fat-ness is not necessarily the same as being greedy. Anyway, I'm sure the article (I haven't read it) is about people being less caught up in body issues than being proud about being fat. I don't think people should be proud of being over-weight. It's unhealthy and suggests a lack of care about your body. Also: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree ... od-poverty

    Just a little gripe with that Steven Greenstreet article. The guy sounds like a pig, a tool and an arsehole, but I feel that the author is actually alienating some of her readership and (unintentionally) downplaying the seriopusness of this dick's behaviour by using language like "[that's] normal guy stuff". What she's doing there is actually dismissing his behaviour and [although cynically so] normalising it. It's a shame, because it's a good article, and the guy is clearly a massive, massive cock-head.
