In reply to the discussion: So I have a day off tomorrow and it's going to be 75. Can I wear my swim suit? [View all]JTFrog
(14,274 posts)124. Don't tell me you "fought for them" just to tell them to shut the fuck up when they are taking
their turn to fight. You say "It wasn't enough, I know", yet here you are in the face of those who fought that same fight and those that are fighting the fight of their generation.
"It never stopped me"
Well lucky you. Wish I could say the same. Me and my ilk. Yea, us women who have been beaten, raped and left for dead really ought to just give up and just leave it at "It wasn't enough". Like I said, don't waste your precious mind on me and my ilk and the "sick world" we have barely survived. Just keep telling us how it's all about you.

Are you kidding? Some people were calling those SI models all kinds of VERY nasty names.

i find it ironic that you complained more about the alert of an offensive post than the post itself.

Nope. According to your warped interpretation to objectification, you will be a sex object.
