Baldness vs Fat Shaming

[doyle11]

Radfems are idiots. That said they seem like a larger presence than they actually are due to tumblr and social media. Just ignore them and they will go away

You shouldnt make fun of fat people. You shouldnt make fun of bald people. Period.

I agree. However I don't think the goal of this video was to make fun of fat people. The video was in response to the so called fat acceptance movement "fat people are beautiful too" "we are owed adjustments to our discomfort" "be proud of your body" "fat jokes are not absolutely not acceptable" nonsense. The goal of this video was to say obesity is not healthy, and forcing society to pretend otherwise is asinine.

What I hope to happen, is one day someone comes out with a video "Dear bald people" and it gets just as much negative feedback as the "Dear fat people", because then that means that people are starting to notice that it is not okay to make fun of bald people.

I agree. You shouldn't make fun of people but you should make fun of fat acceptance movement. Calll me a scumbag but a ideology that says killing yourself with food is acceptable is stupid. If you're so fat you are out of breath after walking a few meters then you are in serious danger, don't accept that, do something about it.

I have hundred of people of facebook (why I don't know) but not one of them is obese. Obesity isn't a problem here so this fat acceptance movement is very alien to me.

This is what feminism is about:

Men and women are equal now. They are given the same chances. And I'm happy about that.

Feminists don't need to fight for anything anymore. But it wasn't enough.

They want more, so much that they want to change reality and biological roles.

So feminists put themselves in ridiculous situations like these:

[video=youtube;kBiS4qTsjCg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBiS4qTsjCg[/video]

Of course feminists want to find problems where there are none, because if they wouldn't, what would they be paid for? How would they attract attention?

People are waking up. Most women I talk to don't want to hear about feminism or being associated with it.

True feminism was about giving the same rights and status to men and women. It's done.

At the place where I work (related to STEM), women applicants are given preference over men. They are hiring women with qualifications such that men with the same qualifications would not even be called for an interview.

I work as a software developer. Most of my work collegues are women. The CEO is also a woman. I think women have equal opportunity these days. What is strange in software development is how very few women contribute to open source projects. Numbers vary from as low to 1% to 10%. Why is this? We are talking about something you can do in your pijamas in your free time online. Why aren't more women interested in giving their free time to programming for the benefit of others? Even I contributed to a few projects. It's as easy as uploading a file and others decide how good it is. It may be difficult to face criticism but they don't even know you're a woman.

By the way, that guy has some insane hair going on.

. and all my technology classes have been nearly all male. i wouldn't have it any other way xD. girls would be a distraction and just dont match with the beautifully cold logic of technology. all my tech classes have been incel havens, it definitely feels great being with fellow incels

You can rely on our Belgian friend to bring out the best hair videos. There's an over 100 year old man he once posted who looks like he fell out the coffin, yet he was Norwood 2. :laugh:

That's the dream right there, flowing white locks or salt/pepper look.

Fred is awesome. Where do you find these videos Fred?

Fat women would get sympathy if they tried to pull that ridiculous load of crap. But a bald man would be laughed out of the room.

True feminism is not even close to relatable to fat acceptance, so the fact you seem to disagree means you clearly have no concept of what feminism actually is about. You're doing the logical equivalent of condemning all Muslims/Islam as a whole because of the actions of a radical few. Do you not see that or how wrong that is?

I realize that it has been a while since this discussion took place, but since this thread has already been bumped, I will take this opportunity to respond to the above statement. Actions of many "radical" Muslims can indeed be blamed on Islam. Many "radical" Muslims are directly influenced by their religion and they do what they believe their religion demands them to do. Also, the number of radicals in Muslim population is not just "few" like you suggested. Polls have shown that a significant percentage of Muslim population in various countries holds radical views such as apostasy should be punishable by death. It's more than 50% in some Muslim countries. You suggested that Fred should research feminism. I suggest you follow your own advice and research Islam and Muslims. I don't say that to insult you. It's a very sensitive topic and if you are expressing your opinion on a public forum about it, make sure you have done proper research as your opinion can influence others. Erroneous opinions like yours are the reason this issue of Islamic "radicalism" is getting worse with time. The world need to question the dangerous beliefs promulgated by Islam.

BALDNESS and FAT are NOT the same.

Just look at common advices on baldness and obesity:

Bald:
– just shave it bro (go to NW8 hence just amplification of problem)
– just MAN UP and gain some CONFIDENCE

Conclusion: after these advices you STILL bald so you STILL have a initial problem.

Obesity:
– just cut your diet
– just start running

Conclusion: after this advice you totally REMOVE your problem and you are NOT fat anymore.

NOT EVEN COMPARABLE

Would you feel better if they told you your life was over and adviced you to go kill yourself?

Fat costs tax payers MILLIONS upon MILLIONS in increased premiums across the board and higher taxes.
Baldness costs nothing to anyone except the bald guy. Id say if fat people were lumped into a group where they are on their own 100% for health care costs then by all means no fat shaming but hey my 10% increase in my insurance so your fatass can get the same health care as me is my "mock you fee"

 

[bluered999]

I'n my everyday life I've heard much more nasty comments or teasing of people for being fat then for hairloss. Probably like 10 times the amount, Most people are smart enough to realize that obesity is 100 percent in that persons control.

On a side note its kind of funny how being fat is viewed so negatively, when it used to be a Huge survival advantage it times of serious famine, since when you fast your body uses all that stored energy.

 

[swingline747]

or you were cannibalized by neighbors

No but if people accepted that baldness was a problem, one that cannot really be easily fixed with what we have available then I think hair pieces for men would be far more socially acceptable and most men would have a working(if not ideal) solution. Wigs/hair systems are acceptable for women with severe hair loss. Imagine if it was the same for men, this forum would be much less popular.

Yeah i'll give you that. Most fullheads is clueless as to how much hairloss affects some people. If you and i werent affected by it we would most likely given the same advice. If hairsystems were a socially accepted option the world would be a much better place guaranteed.

I should say that I'm actually something of an antitheist. I hate all religions and think they are all divisive and a man made device to control the population. That being said I must address you saying I should do more research into the things I say before I speak on a subject. The truth is I've done an incredible amount of research into religion as a whole. I've read both the Bible and the Quran in their entirety. Despite my anti-religious stance, when I get into these types of conversations I typically have a more informed opinion of those religions than the followers of said religions themselves. Most Christians have never read the Bible in it's entirety, nor have the majority of them actually ever tried to interpret things for themselves - they tend to just listen to someone else's interpretation without question. So with that in mind, I will say that my comparison of radical Islam to radical feminism was inherently flawed. I do agree that Islam is a dangerous ideology, but just to reiterate this is not the fault of Islam specifically but of the nature of (most) religions as being divisive/a tool men use to manipulate other men into doing their bidding. In that sense Islam is just a tool being used to propagate hate, but it is not Islam telling people to blow themselves up, fly planes into buildings, or drive a large vehicle through a crowded area. There is no section of the Quran that tells them to do these things. It is the extremist interpretation that has led to that, but in any case this is still a very small minority committing these acts. There are 1.6+ billion muslims in the world. If it was as common as Western media portrays it for muslims to be extremists, no area of the world would be safe at any time. Also, I think it is important to think about how you might feel if the shoe were on the other foot. The Islamic ideology has been under attack by the Western world for decades. In that time, millions of muslims have been killed - a large portion of which were innocent civilians. A simple comparison of the numbers killed on each side paints a pretty horrific picture for the West. From their perspective it probably seems like we are the terrorists, and I think if the media gave an unbiased look at the situation it would be easy to see why they feel that way. No, it doesn't justify the horrible atrocities that have been committed in the name of Islam, but perspective on why these things are happening is important. We only see the side that demonizes Islam from our media because we live in an area of the world which is predominately Christian. This is an obviously huge bias even if you completely ignore the nationalistic side of things that tends to lead populations to justifying literally anything they do because they're always "the good guys" in their eyes. The bottom line is we live in an area of the world which is dominated by Christian propaganda, much like how the Middle East is dominated by Islamic propaganda. The real truth lies somewhere in between these two extreme biases.

Perhaps a more pertinent comparison would be to say that it's nonsensical to write off an ideology which is, at it's core, about establishing equality between the sexes because of the radical few who take it too far in the other direction, just as it is nonsensical to say that all men are rapists because some men rape. Everyone likes to criticize/try to discredit feminism by pointing to some of the more ridiculous sh*t people post on Tumblr, when most of the things people use to discredit it are works of fiction/parodies of feminism by the same people who are trying to discredit it to begin with. That thing about having sex with fat women that CaptainForehead posted is a great example of this. If you think that is anything more than a parody/satire, you need to wake up because you're obviously just looking for reasons to hate feminism if you take that sort of stuff seriously.
