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.

Sickening. Absolutely sickening. This isn't just a feminist issue, this is a normal, functioning human being issue. People who advocate shit like that have some unbelievable issues. This reminds me of a headline I saw on the cover of a men's magazine once: How to Cheat on Her Without Her Finding Out!

These chauvinistic excuses for men need to stop publishing trash and consider growing a conscience - perhaps even a soul.

This isn't just a feminist issue, this is a normal, functioning human being issue. I actually had a line along these same lines when I originally wrote this post, but I was so incoherent that I took it out. I'm so glad you said it so succinctly and accurately.

This reminds me of a headline I saw on the cover of a men's magazine once: How to Cheat on Her Without Her Finding Out! I remember you saying that! And it stuck with me and on occasion I think about it and the anger just bubbles up....

Seriously. I just want to scream, "Where is your SOUL?"

Hey! I used to have that icon! Poor Dean.
