Y'know when I was a kid and the new first wave feminists were giving way to the more virulent second or third or whatever wave came after it - us guys were all going head first into the crapper because men are all pigs and our perving out over pretty gals was giving feminists the sads. Why, it was a toxic social phenomenon so bad and awful that a spooky, lethal disease called anorexia rose up. Some women were so emotionally devastated that they literally and deliberately started starving themselves to death. Apparently the way it worked was these women would see perverts like Jack, Quartermain and Chutes (for example) slobbering over pics of attractive women… and it messed up the female semantic processes in the brain that dealt with body image and self esteem. Like everything else, men were ruining the world!!! Didjya ever lookit those super slim super fashion models?!?!? Or Barbie dolls?!?!? Filthy misogynist MEN were warping the female perception of acceptable body images... or something like that. But...! But!!! SHUT UP!!! ALL THE GIRLS ARE GETTING IT!!! SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!!!
I didn't get it back then, either. Far as I could see at the time, anorexia was real - women died from it - but when have modern women ever paid any heed to their men? Or cared about what they thunk? It didn't pass the smell test. All I know is that when I perved out Jack, Chutes, and Quartermain perved out... they looked at gals that had a little more meat on 'em. And from my vantage point out here on The Log... it was only ever females that paid any attention to the fashion rag sheets or played with Barbie dolls. Something wasn't adding up. Now that I focus my aging (but still formidable) powers of observation and deduction on it...anorexia was largely a synthetic disease. And women were driving themselves crazy as they started to worship their own crotches. It shouldn't surprise us when a lot of weaker men got down on their knees to worship that thing too, I suppose, HAR HAR HAR!!! HAR HAR HAR!!!
😂👍
In time anorexia faded and disappeared in the rear view mirror. I don't hear much about it nowadays, in any event. But now we have to look at stuff like this:
I wonder how many girls today are killing themselves with obesity? Does it matter? The irony is lethal: the more we try to artificially inflate our self esteem, the more at risk we become with real but artificially incubated diseases. Barbie and the fashion rags…the fashion industry itself…are all about making women feel good about themselves. But all that’s been done away with. Now they’re fat and slovenly, and they’re even more depressed and neurotic… and supposedly we’re all better off for it…?
Oh shut up, Filthie, you fat old retard! You don’t know nothing!!!
All I know is that anorexia isn’t a thing anymore and maybe never was. I now must bid everyone adieu amidst a pelting rain of rotten fruit and vegetables! I’m going down to the Reclusium to confront a problematic boogaloo rifle. Seems some idiot got confused about which hole to put it in…and got a cleaning patch lodged in the gas tube! Face-palm that, Filthie!
I will leave you all to it - and I hope y’all have a great Humpday.
Filthie.

Now see here, WDS! We take safety very seriously around here, and proper sling and load management are not considered a thing to joke about round here. Garment failures like that can get people kilt….😉👍

DeleteI am relieved I wasn't mentioned in with your resident pervs! I enjoy a cheeseburger eating lady, not too plump, not too skinny(I like my warmth at night) Why wimmins ever got the idea of staving themselves over a perceived flaw in their body image is beyond me, and I know behavior, I used to therapy it!... Thank the little gods I don't nomore.
ReplyDeleteYep it was for sure a legitimate lethal mental disorder. The set up for it was not, though. Nor did it ever come anywhere close to being an epidemic. The problem was never Barbie, the fashion industry or men…I think it was some cognitive disruption in the individual women themselves…
Delete'And women were driving themselves crazy'. At 60 now, I'm finding, they don't have to drive very far. A recent study indicated 25% of women are undergoing treatment for some type of mental illness! Which means that 75% of women are going through life not having their mental illness treated! Something MUST be done!
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of that starts and stops with attitude, maybe? I haven’t thunk about it enough yet… but I think it might be more correct to say, “At least 25% of the women hold the wrong view of themselves and the world, and are trying to compensate for it with drugs…”
DeleteMost women develop body image issues after being shamed by other women. Its easier to blame white males than admit the sisterhood is a cat fight.

No chit. You hear all kinds of horror stories about the old boys club…but ya gotta wonder why there’s no ‘old girls club’.
DeleteHmmmm some interesting obs there Glen. I suspect anorexia is simply a form of mental illness. The only person I knew with anorexia came from a family of four kids that I went to school with. One girl, three boys. One lad became out as openly gay after high school and has had several looooong "working trips" to Asia. The two others we suspected were gay - always single & had flamboyant personalities - but both eventually got married & had kids. The girl became anorexic and had to be hospitalised for it several times. The common denominator was a thoroughly dislikeable father that would verbally berate the kids in public throughout their childhood. Their parents stayed together & outwardly appear very successful; large farm, several businesses, mother was a school teacher etc. But looking at them, you'd never guess the crap we saw their kids go through. The parents are retired and in their late 70's & mid 80's now, and the father still has anger issues to this day. The daughter has overcome her demons but the anorexia destroyed her fertility. But looking around the room at work yesterday, I noted to myself that all 50 of us present could skip a few weeks worth of meals. Look at photos from the 70's & 80's. Virtually no-one I knew was fat. These days, we're nearly all fat fuckers - to the man or woman. A normal, reasonably fit person REALLY stands out. A genuine athlete looks like a Greek god these days !
ReplyDeleteYeah … I don’t understand the role of genetic heredity in faggotry either. Given the current political climate any objective study or inquiry would be impossible. Is it heredity? Genetic defect? Or environmental? Could faggotry be an act of rebellion against oppressive parents? Is it an acquired or induced behavioural problem?
DeleteSuspect it was a reaction to the treatment from their father. Really wondered what happened behind closed doors. If he would treat his children like that in public, God only knows what happened in private. Anyway, not my problem. Funny how we dont see any anorexic chicks anymore huh !
DeleteIn the late 70's and 80's we teenage girls looked to Cosmopolitan magazine. Models such as Kim Alexis, Christy Brinkley, Cindy Crawford and so on. Their hair, make-up, clothes, etc...that's what we wanted to look like. Never in our wildest dreams did we aspire to look like Jabba the Hutt.
ReplyDeleteYep. And your efforts drove us guys nuts! Everyone had a good time with it too. That’s the way it’s supposed to be but that just doesn’t seem to work for anyone anymore…
DeleteYou know, when you go silent like you just did I worry. Did he take a dirt nap? Or did Justin get a new toy?
ReplyDeleteWe’re all cool over here so far, S. Justin is in chit up to his ears. Every day the pressure mounts for him to stop being a nauseating, vindictive little shite and do his job. He’s never had a real job in his life, most of his fart catchers have never had to work in the real world… and I think their days are numbered. It took long enough… but who knows…
