ACCURATE
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH THE POST. FUCK IT.
Fuck you dude. Just fuck you
First the fuck of all, eyes ABOVE the neckline, that’s what decent people do. Secondly, complimenting a female presenting person on her boobs is sexist as all get out, quit it. Thirdly, it’s not “being sensitive” to be offended at you reducing her to how “nice” her boobs are. Fourthly, a male’s muscles aren’t as inherently sexualized as a woman’s boobs in pop culture you ass. Fifth, pull your pants up, your ignorance is showing.
They’re just tits oh my god. Remove the sideways stick from your ass, ya prudez.
omg so offendedddd!1!! dnt look at the bags of fat on my chest omg! i can stare at u but u cant stare at/compliment me becuz i am womannn!!!11/!one!
Shut up.
Male muscularity is just as sexualized as female nice-titness. This is why boys take steroids and get eating disorders (YES they do, don’t even start with me) because they’re trying to look likeAnd it’s not even all media. It’s NATURAL. Big muscles and nice boobs have been desired since humans existed. Big muscles meant the male had lots of testosterone and would be able to make lots of kids and protect his family. Big boobs meant the woman was fertile and would be able to birth and mother lots of children. It’s about reproduction. It’s about the natural desire of all living things to keep their species going. Shut. Up.
Boobs are nice. People like to look at them. Don’t want people to compliment/notice your nice boobs? Wear a sweatshirt. Why is it if someone says “You have really nice eyes!” the reply will be “omg thank you!!!<3” but if they say “You have really nice boobs!” the reply will be “OMG UR IGNORANCE IS SHOWING >:C ” It’s a compliment. Calm your tits. Oh wait, no, that’s offensive. Calm your general chest region.
^^^^ Genius comment is genius.
Fucking commentary. God damn everything is offensive nowadays.
Love, love love the commentary.
wow go away
first let’s talk body politics. who does my body belong to? who has access to my body? what does access include? don’t i have a right to personal space and isn’t an unwanted pass or something that makes me uncomfortable an invasion of personal space?
it’s not about being “that sensitive,” it’s about someone else claiming that they have enough access to my body to stare at it openly, appraise it, make judgments on it, dictate what i do with it, etc. for me, this includes, but is not limited to, men on the street that leer at me, openly lick their lips, and make me change my route to work in the morning; men who grab me on the street and change how i feel in broad daylight in my own neighborhood; people who tell me i should grow out my hair, lose weight, gain weight, shave my pubez, take out my piercings, not get tattoos, and “wear a sweatshirt” if i don’t want to get my boobs “complimented”; and state and federal legal movements that threaten to/already do demean and legislate my body.
now let me get back to that “Wear a sweatshirt” bit. uh, excuse me? this is how RAPE APOLOGISM starts, people. no, i’m not equating telling someone they have nice boobs with rape, it’s not a fair comparison, not even close, but telling someone they have great tits when that behavior is unwanted is crossing some serious fucking boundaries and telling someone that “well, maybe if you wore a sweatshirt that wouldn’t happen” is really fucking problematic.
besides, a sweatshirt is in no way a guaranteed shield against perverts and assholes. people say and do shit no matter what you’re wearing.
anyway. now i agree that male muscularity is the masculine ideal and it does make a lot of guys feel insecure, but this little gem …
And it’s not even all media. It’s NATURAL. Big muscles and nice boobs have been desired since humans existed. Big muscles meant the male had lots of testosterone and would be able to make lots of kids and protect his family. Big boobs meant the woman was fertile and would be able to birth and mother lots of children. It’s about reproduction.
… is horseshit.
i mean, if by “natural” you mean “heteronormative and binaric” then yes.
1. so okay, based on this every female* person seeking a male*person would “naturally” be attracted to big muscles and every male seeking female would “naturally” be attracted to big boobs? so you’re telling me that my complete aversion to muscles (they are disgusting, get them away from me) makes me “unnatural”? and the guys that i date who are either appreciative of or indifferent to my complete lack of a chest are “unnatural”? are you one of those people who thinks guys who are attracted to boyish-looking girls are secretly gay or at least bi?
2. this statement prescribes/reinforces a lot of absolutely idiotic gender roles/assumptions about nonphysical attraction that don’t match up to how real people operate. do all women want a man to protect them? i don’t — i can protect myself, thanks. do all women want a man who will have lots of kids? uh, i’d rather have one with a vasectomy because i’m not exactly the childbearing type. do all men want a woman who can bear children? probably not.
like i said, heteronormative binaric breeder bullshit.
i know where you saw this stuff, they run shit like this on the discovery channel all the time and i know it seems interesting and there’s definitely some truth in it, but uh what do you expect from a show on basic fucking cable but to just reflect what the media is prescribing to our culture?!?!
tl;dr? ur ignorance is showing and your commentary sucks.
boom. reposted for amazing takedown.

hi. I’m moving to a new city too. I don’t have an ipod and kindles make me sad. let’s have a drink (or take a walk). I’ll probably be super awkward about it, but there’s nothing fatal in that.
I just looked her up and goddaaaamn:
RIP NANCY WAKE (30 August 1912 – 7 August 2011)
Ms Wake, who has died in London just before her 99th birthday, was a New Zealander brought up in Australia. She became a nurse, a journalist who interviewed Adolf Hitler, a wealthy French socialite, a British agent and a French resistance leader. She led 7,000 guerrilla fighters in battles against the Nazis in the northern Auvergne, just before the D-Day landings in 1944. On one occasion, she strangled an SS sentry with her bare hands. On another, she cycled 500 miles to replace lost codes. In June 1944, she led her fighters in an attack on the Gestapo headquarters at Montlucon in central France.
Work began earlier this month on a feature film about Nancy Wake’s life. Ms Wake, one of the models for Sebastian Faulks’ fictional heroine, Charlotte Gray, had mixed feelings about previous cinematic efforts to portray her wartime exploits, including a TV mini-series made in 1987.
“It was well-acted but in parts it was extremely stupid,” she said. “At one stage they had me cooking eggs and bacon to feed the men. For goodness’ sake, did the Allies parachute me into France to fry eggs and bacon for the men? There wasn’t an egg to be had for love nor money. Even if there had been why would I be frying it? I had men to do that sort of thing.”
Ms Wake was also furious the TV series suggested she had had a love affair with one of her fellow fighters. She was too busy killing Nazis for amorous entanglements, she said.
Even before she escaped to Britain, through Spain, in 1943 to train as a guerrilla leader, Nancy had been top of the Gestapo’s French “wanted” list. With her husband, she ran a resistance network which helped to smuggle Jews and allied airmen out of the country.
Nancy recalled later in life that her parachute had snagged in a tree. The French resistance fighter who freed her said he wished all trees bore “such beautiful fruit”. Nancy retorted: “Don’t give me that French shit.”
<3 what a bad ass <3
