Subject: your sexism offends me

Yes, that's what I wrote - that's my opinion.
Bart, when we can have discussions on the size
of men's penises, and whether they have had
implants to help their erectile dysfunction,
I won't have to comment on your sexism.
Shouldn't you identify the alledged sexism before
we start the conversation?
Seems my "I like
women without implants" rant should be
seen as anti-sexist.
I could better see your point if I wrote "All
women need bigger breasts."
The pictures of the women are one thing--(not
my cup of tea, but I can tolerate it)--but to
comment on Kate Hudson's size and condition of
her breasts is crossing the line of decorum.
I'm not allowed to comment on the stories in the
news?
You wouldn't know who I was if that was the case.
I feel like I'm at my local grocery store at the
meat counter and am listening to people
discussing the quality of the meat.
What if we were talking about Kate's new hairdo?
In both cases, she writes a check and changes
occur.
Kate gave up her anonymity when she became a rich
and famous hottie.
It's not my fault if her choice to have surgery
was in the news..
One reason it was in the news is she was on record
as late as 2008 saying
she was "very
comfortable with her body and wouldn't want to change it."
Maybe women do all sorts of "corrective" surgery
to their bodies so they don't
have to be criticized by others; all the assessments
cause us to hate our bodies.
...and it's all the more outrageous when some
one that good-looking gets "corrected," right?
I get that, but I'm certainly not the cause.
As I said, I'm usually against enhancement surgery.
I once read that every woman, from schoolteachers
to strippers to nuns had self loathing
for their bodies, no matter how good their bodies
looked, or how they were raised.
Probably true but again, not my fault.
I'm sure Mrs. Bart and all your other female readers would agree with me.
I failt to see how anything I wrote on this subject
would make you feel uncomfortable.
Maybe you're actually angry with Kate, being
one of the best-looking women in Hollywood
having succumbed to the pressure to "fix" what
wasn't wrong?
If I wrote, "Kate's no good without bigger breasts," then I could better see your point.
If they don't, it's probably because they have
been conditioned to accept the
constant critical verbal analysis of our bodies.
If your point if that it's sad that someone like
as pretty as Kate Hudson feels pressure from
society to conform to some rigid image of what
"pretty" should be, I might agree with that.
I love you, Bart, but this stuff offends me.
Janet
I, as always, am innocent of all charges.
As pigs go, I'm actually a prince.
