Kudos to Vogue

Finally, someone has spoken out against the ridiculous trend of the Size 0. Alexandra Shulman, the editor of Vogue magazine, has sent letters to fashion designers in America and Europe, accusing them of deliberately sending fashion magazines tiny clothes to force them to hire skinny, waif-like models, and she's had enough.

Well, I say good for her. From a personal standpoint, I will never understand how female models that are built like 13-year-old boys are considered attractive by anyone. They are bony and angular, completely devoid of anything womanish, like curves and soft lines. From a parental standpoint, I'm happy because there is a frightening amount of bad influences toward girls and young women, and an unhealthy body-image is just the tip of the iceberg. But every little bit helps.

If we can get rid of rap and hip-hop and the whole "bitch/ho" attitude that comes from that, and the Clinton-begotten "oral sex isn't sex" thing, we'll be well on our way to raising girls with healthy, positive lifestyles.

Then maybe we can work on the popular feminist ideology of emasculating boys as soon as they're old enough to walk, and get them back to skinning their knees and making slingshots and handing out playground justice and everyone going home as friends. Guys knew how to work shit out until females and "sensitive" men got involved.

Now I feel like picking a fight with someone just so we can beat the shit out of each other and then go watch a game over a few beers and laugh about it.

Story here.
