Reply #45: Don't blame LM for your imprecise writing

[Orrex]

For those of us who like a voluptuous women versus the waifs who look as if they would crack in half if confronted with a big comfy loving hug, this is an insult.

Guess who is crying out the loudest, ABC and Fox.

Disney who believes all girls should look like the interchangeable heroine with girls jammed into the minuscule waif waist and Fox, whose news network celebrates the thin railed women, ala Annie got her gun.

Well, to that I say bring on the real women, the women who care more about live than how they look to some fashion designer who must be held captive in Milan, Paris and New York in some kind of kiddie porn version of hell...

The "high" fashion world is the snarkiest snarkers of all, convincing everyone who doesn't conform to their size -1 perception of women is just not worth even their contempt...

I say bring on the real women and fuck your opinions of how a woman should look...

Well, let's see.

You made a point of specifically praising "voluptuous women," contrasting them with "the waifs," the "girls jammed into minuscule waif waist," and "the thin railed women," all of whom you attacked.

You then moved immediately to "bring on the real women." The only reasonable inference, based on what you wrote, is that "voluptuous women" are "real women," while thin women are not.

If you truly meant to refer to all women who don't obsessively cling to a misguided and anorexic ideal of beauty, then you should have stated this. Instead, you praised full-figured women, attacked slender women, and then complained when people called you on it.


What you're attempting now is known in political circles as a "clarification" of your earlier remarks.


Here's how you clarify your position: restate that position unambiguously and acknowledge that it was your imprecise writing that caused people to misconstrue your intent. Don't blame the reader for inferring something that you claim not to have implied; doing so only makes you look like you're trying to pin your imprecision on somebody else.
