The Problem Isn't That He Called Her Fat

I love that Kim Clijsters called this asshat on his unwarranted, unprofessional and misogynist remarks about her body, but I have noticed something disturbing. Everyone seems to interpret this as "he called her fat! never ask a woman if she is pregnant- it's calling her fat!"

Um, no. Todd Woodbridge made a remark about the size of Ms. Clijster's breasts. That was inappropriate. Commenting on women's breasts in this context is rude, disgusting, harrassing and ultimately misogynistic*. It's not an issue of calling her fat.

It seems as if the people at Sports Center have fully bought the idea that Mr. Woodbridge has the right to say anything he wants about a woman's body- as long as he doesn't hurt her silly feelings by implying she's fat.

Fuck off, Sports Center.

*Yes, yes, I know. It's totally cool to tell your lover you like her breasts. That is, however, different. If I have willingly shown you my breasts, I am inviting you to say something nice about them- to me. Only to me.

My Boobs, Now With Quake Upgrade!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! MY BOOBS, LOOK AT THEM! YOU ARE POWERLESS BEFORE MY BOOBS! I HAVE DOOMED YOU ALL!

Ahem.

DM, who makes me think of cough syrup and has had this blogger profile for one month, has been vomiting Boobquake nonsense all my comments, so I thought I'd just go ahead and break his brain while simultaneously amusing myself with the fiction that my breasts are capable of mass destruction. As far as I know, they are not. My vagina, however . . . well, that's an entirely different post.

THE BOOBQUAKE - 911!

hey, atheists don't even BELIEVE IN BOOBIES!!!

they thought BOOBIES had no effect... WRONG!


see, I just want to make it clear to the rest of you:


jen is unable to see that there is a CONFLICT BETWEEN EROS & SCIENCE....

Atheists don't believe in boobies? That's . . . um . . . stoopid. I believe in all kinds of boobies. (Click it, it's totally SFW- and adorable!) I am well aware that boobies have some effects, though not concerning plate techtonics. That dissidentphilosophy.lifediscussion.net link doesn't work.

I don't even know what DM's point is, or his POV. Other than a compelling need to shout BOOBQUAKE all over the internet, do you have a point?

Joe-ay kindly apologized for leading a troll to my blog (hey, it's happened to all of us), which provoked this:

how about I believe in WHATEVER I want and you little fuckers have nothing to say!

1) What do you believe?!

2) My blog, asshole.

3) yeah, you are more than welcome to believe whatever you want, including earthquakes are caused by exposed breasts, but do try to stay somewhat on topic in my comments, hokay?

Wierdo.

Cancer Patient Fired for Atheism

christian, atheism, atheist, amanda donaldson, cancer, breast, persecution,
As if stage III breast cancer weren't enough, Amanda Donaldson was fired from her job for being an atheist.

Meet Amanda Donaldson, a Stage III Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Breast Cancer Patient. In a recent blog entry her husband claims she was fired from her job by her employer Dr. Dawson at ‘El Dorado Chiropractic’ because of her illness and for her lack of religious beliefs.

May 4th was Amanda’s first day back to work since April 14th because of her mastectomy, the surgical removal of the entire affected breast. Mr. Donaldson claims that “a few hours into her shift he(Dr. Dawson) again brings up that she needs Jesus in her life and she respectfully declined.”

In a reply email to AtheosToday, Mr. Donaldson stated that his wife was then terminated. “She was told to leave. She was told ‘Her attitude towards God was no longer welcome in his business’.”

Please show your support for Amanda. (If you can show financial support, that would be great. She and her husband have 3 children, and even with Emergency Medicaid, cancer ain't cheap.)

And the next time some christian asshat whinges about being persecuted, you tell them all about Amanda, and ask them the last time a christian fighting cancer was fired for Jesus.
