Will someone please come over here and poke me in the eye next time I click on a link to something in [livejournal.com profile] feminist? Like, say, I don't know, THIS $*##@!(a post urging a boycott of Curves).

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know I was just saying that I wildly disagree with the CEO of Curves and, further, that while a women's gym could be cool, it sucks if it touts weightloss. So, yes, Curves is way way way not the thing for me. But the post and succeeding comments over at clueless town (er, I mean [livejournal.com profile] feminist) seem to be thinking the only good thing about Curves is that busy sad fat women like me could lose the weight we need to take off if we went there.

FUCK FUCKETTY FUCKWITTAGE GRRRRRRRRRRARRRRRRRRRGH ASS! ASSBUTT! DEATH DEATH TO YOU! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! AND THE HORSE YOU CAME IN ON! AND YOUR LITTLE DOG, TOO.

Ah, much better now.

It disappoints me so much to hear feminists using the healthy stick like that. And deriding woman-only space like that. And not thinking before they talk (yeah, cause that cut just a second ago was really carefully edited). And...

Like I said, poke me in the eye.

Is it any more or less brave and admirable for a mayor to marry gay folk when it's against the law than for a judge to post the 10 commandments in his courtroom (also illegal)? Is a person more worthy of respect if she fights for one belief versus another? Or donates money to one cause over another?

I'm saying. Of course your dollar is a sort of vote, and you don't want to vote for something you disagree with. But no person, company or product is as simple as the one thing you vehemently agree or disagree with.

I love how basically everyone has their own opinion of what Curves is "trying to do".

Curves is apparently trying to work my last nerve with all the debating. ;) From what I've read, it seems clear this ONE GUY there is on a mission to save fat women from eternal damnation, but that doesn't mean it's the mission shared by all involved.
