- Perhaps 'feminists' would feel better if *some* men didn't act as though
- they thought that there were only two types of women- the supermodels
- and the 'ugly sloppy pathetic' ones. Jeesh, do *you* do wonders for
- a person's self-esteem!
-
- Honestly, I usually look much better than this......(sniff*)
-
- So what is the solution to low self-esteem, Brian? Do we put
- up big billboards "SELF-ESTEEM: GET IT!" ? Do we simply write-off
- people with low self-esteem as pathetic losers? I just *hate* it
- whenever anyone compliments me- what do they think I am?- some
- pathetic ugly woman who needs them to make *me* feel good? I
- just wish *everybody* would cut out this common decency and
- consideration crap! Why, they are just symptoms of our co-dependent
- society- oh yeah, like *everybody* is supposed to think that fat
- and ugly and blonde people are JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! I think
- that all the horrible, nasty, pathetic slobs with low self-esteem
- should all be piled on a big boat- and set adrift- yeah!

- (sigh) packing my bags......
