For your info - i don't really 840high Sep 2015 #68

DU's feminists are pure hypocrites for not policing misogyny closely enough on this board? prayin4rain Sep 2015 #72

I have not seen even one feminist 840high Sep 2015 #75

BS there were SEVERAL posts arguing about not slut shaming Bristol with others arguing prayin4rain Sep 2015 #78

I'm glad there were posts about 840high Sep 2015 #79

You're forgiven for accidentally misremembering. n/t prayin4rain Sep 2015 #81

Pushing 80?! Well, heck, I can only hope I'm doing as well by then... prayin4rain Sep 2015 #83

I don't see anything wrong with calling out gross hypocrisy hifiguy Sep 2015 #4

So you agree as her looks have absolutely nothing to do with anything. randys1 Sep 2015 #5

looks should have nothing to do with it passiveporcupine Sep 2015 #42

Agreed. hifiguy Sep 2015 #46

Bristol was out preaching about abstinence treestar Sep 2015 #88

Couldn't care less what she looks like truebluegreen Sep 2015 #6

Enough already with the ugly comments. That is a form of discrimination. Dont call me Shirley Sep 2015 #7

This goes for both genders Xipe Totec Sep 2015 #9

Thank you! Also LiberalElite Sep 2015 #11

Yes, her features are the kind that make-up would transform. WinkyDink Sep 2015 #16

She is Pentecostal (Probably a Holiness variation) No makeup, no cutting of hair (except split ends) LiberalArkie Sep 2015 #32

Yes. Women have to be unattractive to be godly in such churches Maeve Sep 2015 #49

I think (if I remember correctly) so that the men in the church are not tempted. LiberalArkie Sep 2015 #58

Men in such viewpoints are such weak little things Maeve Sep 2015 #77

That explains the birth-control clothing... n/t backscatter712 Sep 2015 #102

yes, she has the Duggar look - long hair, no make up. Liberal_in_LA Sep 2015 #71

Given the current situation, I think it's fine to point out the absurdity Vinca Sep 2015 #12

The hypocrisy itself is fair game, IMO. n/t arcane1 Sep 2015 #14

Of course! Cheers! nt wolfie001 Sep 2015 #38

Right or wrong, it's human nature. See Chaucer's "Prologue," in particular the Summoner and the Par- WinkyDink Sep 2015 #13

Yup. History of literature and art would be dead if it had to be "politically correct" delrem Sep 2015 #37

Yes it is human nature to laugh at and mock people we disagree with. Chemisse Sep 2015 #64

The mockery is of the behaviors. Not of the individuals as such. delrem Sep 2015 #84

We can - and often should - criticize objectionable behaviors. Chemisse Sep 2015 #86

That picture is deplorable. But... Glassunion Sep 2015 #15

I agree with you. Public political Twitter is like the old chatrooms, a cesspool of society. Sunlei Sep 2015 #23

What a gross abuse of the term "slut-shaming". Defending such hypocracy KittyWampus Sep 2015 #25

I'm not "defending hypocrisy" in any sense whatsoever. arcane1 Sep 2015 #26

Then you'd have to make a case for actual SLUT-SHAMING since you used it in your OP- KittyWampus Sep 2015 #29

I didn't write the blog. I merely posted it. arcane1 Sep 2015 #30

+1. nt MADem Sep 2015 #107

BTW, the graphic you chose to use does NOT necessarily refer to her looks. KittyWampus Sep 2015 #27

I didn't choose the graphic. It's part of the blog post I linked to. arcane1 Sep 2015 #28

How is arcane in any way defending her? uppityperson Sep 2015 #105

She is claiming religious superiority based in the bible WDIM Sep 2015 #31

No, they are making fun of her looks. And you know it. nt Logical Sep 2015 #41

The blogger? I don't know. But I agree with their point. arcane1 Sep 2015 #57

I agree- attacking people for looks and assumed desirability is pretty low Hydra Sep 2015 #56

I don't know who "we" is. I've never said anything about her looks. However, I have and will Chakab Sep 2015 #59
