Mom smacks down body shamer at pool - CNN.com
Seriously???? Does this crap really happen for real???
Men at the pool would feel more comfortable??? :doh
Blame the men?
I doubt one man at that pool said anything remotely negative.
Most were probably hoping she'd start breast feeding... :2razz:
Her response deserves :clap:
Although she should have recognized that it was not the men that complained....but just this one woman.
So tell me, who is truly more responsible for "body shaming"?
I've personally known that complaints regarding inappropriate female clothing in the work-place have always come from other women.
(Guys typically don't complain if ladies show more skin)
Is what the older lady did at that pool something that's not uncommon?
Are you suggesting that men have systematically trained women to oppress women?
piana and they aren't together now anyway
I know, and you are wrong...you are limiting yourself strictly to the world of body building, so you are wrong.
you don't get it at all which is why you agreed with Henrin....you are limiting your understanding and projecting it onto every aspect of western society
yup...women have it easy...it's just about you...I get it...I really "get it" finally...took me a bit but oh yeah I got it now
Tough. Other people aren't here to be attractive to you. You don't like it, don't go to places where people wear bathing suits. That makes much more sense than you expecting other people to stay covered up to protect your delicate sensibilities.
I see a lot of people I wish were wearing more clothing. I don't think most of us find large expanses of saggy blubber a very attractive sight. Decorum and shame no longer seem to mean much to tens of millions of people in this country, and it doesn't take a Miss Manners to lament the fact we are fast becoming a nation of slobs.

Thousands of men are living with an extreme body image disorder known as bigorexia. Experts estimate one-in-ten men training in gyms in the UK may have the condition. It's been compared to anorexia in reverse - where men become obsessed with putting on muscle. It can lead to depression, steroid abuse and in extreme cases, death.

People with bigorexia, or muscle dysmorphia, have a belief or perception that their body is too small or scrawny.
Former bodybuilder posts transformation photo to inspire others to love their bodies
One Montana woman went from a bodybuilder to a "body lover."
Jolene Jones posted photos of herself -- one as a bodybuilder and another after she gave up a 'grueling gym regimen' -- on Facebook with a message that's so far drawn more than 129,000 positive responses.
"This isn't your typical transformation photo," Jones wrote. "I went from being controlled by my grueling gym regimen and weighing chicken and having protein shakes in my purse to fully enjoying a social life."
Patriarchy as a whole does, yes.
Who says it's men that trained women to do this I think women did this all on their own.
I've noticed something quite common among women. If one of them is absolutely stunning beautiful and everybody appreciates their beauty less attractive women hate her they will say nasty comments behind her back the same to her face the tell her how she shouldn't wear certain clothes how she's being lewd by simply existing and I really think it all stems from Envy.
This isn't the patriarchy invention it is human nature. Being jealous of things you don't have is natural I would even go as far as to say it's healthy.
Wanting things you don't have is how we accomplish things.
But from my observation this has nothing to do with the men. Men and women for that matter simply look at people who are attractive to them. That isn't patriarchy that isn't some hierarchy in the system of government or anything that is nature.
then it can't be about patriarchy.Once again, read my posts. This is not about "men."
if you just didn't pigeonhole people you wouldn't need to feel this way.That is not how society or culture works. To be honest, I can't be bothered to spoon-feed this to people who still seem to think men and women are different species, so either you're going to get this or you're not and it's really no skin off my nose. Anyway...
this paragraph makes no sense.I've never seen any such thing. I think men such as you who seem to take personal slight to the suggestion that the entire universe isn't about you have simply made this up.
perhaps they make insecure women nervous. This is something men had to deal with when we were little boys I don't understand why it's such a big deal that you're faced with it now.But in disadvantaged places where women's options are restricted, I have seen particularly pretty and charming women make other women nervous.
so wait are you saying women aren't people or just pretty ones aren't?Now, why do you think that might be, in a society that values women as arm candy more than people, hm?
...Do you think it's a coincidence that this older woman grew up in an intensely objectifying culture, and then espouses objectifying things onto other women?
Being a woman doesn't free a person from the psychological affects of sexism. It magnifies them, if anything. After all, women are the targets of said sexism, and there is no better way to continue oppressing people than to get your targets to do your dirty work for you.
That isn't to say this woman should get away with body-shaming someone even remotely. If that had been said to me, I wouldn't bother justifying myself. I'd just straight up tell her to get ****ed and learn some manners and to stop trying to hide her own insecurity by bashing other women. But anyway...
If the hinted conclusion I'm supposed to reach is that the problem is that women are catty bitches, and not that larger society is sexist, well, guess what I'm gonna ask you...
Do you think you would feel that way about women if you yourself hadn't been raised to believe women are catty bitches all your life?
I pretty much said the same thing to her and she said if this makes any kind of sense it's not men it's the patriarchy as if the patriarchy is a completely separate thing than men. A patriarch is a man to my understanding but apparently not in feminist La La Land.You're right, it's men's fault. Particularly white men's fault.
Rap music is full of sexism against women, but it's not polite to point that out, so we can safely say that white men are the cause of everything bad in the world.

It seems to be the m.o. and personally I've gotten to the point where I'm damned for just being so why should I give a s*** about these issues.
The patriarchy is an imaginary Boogeyman so is racism and homophobia.
So when I see people complain about it it really kind of sends the message to me that they have problems in their life and that they refused to take responsibility for and they blame these Boogeyman Concepts that don't exist.
Appointing oneself as a spokes mouth for these groups is it very lucrative move and it doesn't take you much time. Some of the people who perpetuate this nonsense are manipulators and the people that buy into it are manipulated.
When the most important thing to you is not being responsible for yourself you can be easily manipulated. If I'm simply charismatic enough and say "it isn't your fault that's because the Martians that control our government want you where you are."
This may be funny and frankly it's meant to be but you just swap out Martian for patriarchy or the white man or cisgendered people or heterosexuals The Narrative works.
It's really sad.
