Am I the last femminist left?  

Posted

Susan Hawk is one of those annoying femminists who goes so far over the edge that they actually become sexist. You know the type...she'll go out of her way to say that women are better than men at things, but if someone points to something that a man can do better she starts flipping out. Just as a point of reference, she actually said that it was sexist when she heard someone say that men could beat women at tennis.

Well, this "femminist" became a complete hypocrite last night when she revealed that she got major plastic surgery done. Lipo, eyes, and breasts, just to name a few. First, let me generally say that people who take pride in their "new" look is a bit disturbing in and of itself. She didn't do anything to earn this improved look (not only did she not work out or change her lifestyle, but a tv show PAID for the surgery). Second, and more importantly, this isn't even "her" anymore. There were parts altered (and added!) to her. how can she take pride in this? "hey look at me, i'm not myself anymore". Disgusting.

Now, for the hypocritical part. As a femmonist, i imagine she takes issue with the fact that women are objectified and judged on their looks. As a brute, i imagine she didn't care for this fact. But, now that she's better looking, all of a sudden she enjoys the fact that her looks are important. She relished the applause that she was getting last night. All of a sudden, being objectified is ok b/c she's on the "plus" side of that evaluation.

It just sickens me to no end. There's no such thing as a femmonist anymore (except for me, i guess). There's no such thing as ANYTHING anymore. Magic Johnson becomes a spokesman for AIDS after he gets it. Should we respect him for that? How about caring about something that doesn't directly affect you? How about making a sacrafice for something you believe in. If Susan Hawk really believed that objectification of women is wrong, then when she was offered free breasts she should have said "no thanks, i find it degrading".

I'm tired of so called femmonists who want it both ways. They whine and moan when they affected by the negative stereotypes of women affect them, but seem to have no qualms about using the positive ones to their advantage. These same women who whine and moan about not being able to get equal pay for equal work (or just a general respect in their office) never seem to be able to buy their own drinks or do any type of manual labor. "why do guys always stare at my chest?" - uh probably b/c you wear revealing outfits. Shut up, you sicken me.
