Warning: the following link may make your eyeballs melt and then bleed out of your eyesockets
You know how people can just be awful? Like horrifically, horrifically awful, so much so that you want to go beg the Cylons/vampires/Romulans/Dalek/Reavers to adopt you so that you will no longer be associated with humanity and can then dare to hold your head up in public?
Yeah. This article will make you feel that way.
My friends and I have been having quite a discussion about this on facebook, mostly full of expletives and ellipses, as nothing less can convey our rage/disgust/horror/fury. More and more people keep popping up to rant about it where the link is posted on my wall, and only the fact that all of my (lovely, lovely) friends are as enraged/disgusted/horrified/furious as I am is keeping me from spontaneously combusting. Also, the Jezebel article writer refers to the readers of the original article as "Mr. Penis," which makes me giggle (I am twelve. So sue me). I thought I would share the experience with y'all.
So, go forth, my innocents, and let your minds be corrupted by the ways in which a magazine entitled Ask Men advises the men of the world to tell their girlfriends that said girlfriends are fat and should lose weight.
I'll be here, waiting for you to come back with your fury.
Oh, look! How convenient! I have an "enraged" option on my moodtheme! And it involves shirtless!Hyde! Well, that made my night slightly better.

I recall being out for drinks with this guy I'd had a bit of a thing with. He was complaining about his ex-wife, who was really very abusive to him, but then he mentioned how she just "let herself get fat" after marrying him and such.
I looked down at his pudge, raised an eyebrow, and told him he's not one to talk.
I'm honestly floored by this stuff. Seriously. I can't fathom guys feeling the need to exert that type of control over their partner. I can't fathom guys minding so much if their partner puts on some weight. I mean...curves are fun!

Oh, wait. Yes, I do. It's called sitcoms.
I looked down at his pudge, raised an eyebrow, and told him he's not one to talk. Did you really? I would be thinking it, of course, but my deeply ingrained niceness would never let me actually do it. This makes me love you more.
It's the sheer level of manipulation and control issues here that blows my mind.

Ah, yeah I did. My natural inclination towards being a smart-ass has kinda overcome my ingrained niceness at this point in my life. :)
