The new empowerment

This was Tweeted by “plus size” model Tess Holiday.

This is the new “female empowerment.”

Make no mistake, this is dangerous.

It’s not (just) the obesity.  She has garish tattoos, a nose ring, and gothability fashion.  Everything about her is tuned to be off putting.

I’ve said before that I like a full figured model.

She is not full figured, she is grotesque with a giant Miss Piggy on her forearm.

She is like a gangsta Marilyn Monroe drawing, taking something classic and beautiful and turning it into something, tacky and aggressively ugly.

She is a walking piece of modern art.

The only reason I know of her is that she is more famous for picking fights established fashion brands like Victoria’s Secret and others for not having “plus size” models.

She is a Social Justice model.

Her “empowerment” is a challenge.

I dare you not to call me beautiful.  I dare you not to say I am gorgeous.  I dare you to say that I am too fat and tattooed and off-putting to model your line.  If you do I will bring down the wrath of the progressive, social justice internet on your brand and call you fatphobic and bigoted and racist.  

This is the new feminist empowerment, and it is awful.

Teacher Strips Naked On Elementary School Playground, Chases Nearby Students

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A physical education teacher at Carthay Center Elementary School outraged parents and upset students when he stripped naked on campus Friday and proceeded to chase nearby second-graders and fifth-graders.

What the fuck?

“He was supposed to be helping them learn P.E., run around and have fun,” one parent told CBS2’s Adrianna Weingold.

Call me an intolerant prude, but a grown man chasing a child with his dick hanging out doesn’t sound like fun to me.

“All of the kids saw his private parts. Very embarrassing, very upset,” said one parent.

Embarrassing? Not exactly the word I’d use.

School police say they are continuing to investigate the man and are working on a case against him.

They are working on a case.  So he hasn’t been arrested yet?  When he declares himself to have some sort of protected victim status, what will happen?

A video taken by a construction worker passing by the scene captured the unidentified teacher putting his pants back on in the middle of the playground.

Oh gee, some schmuck recorded it on his cell phone.

Try that around where I live and some loving parent is going to pull out a gun instead of a camera phone.

But in the land of casting couches and pedophile movie moguls, chasing kids in the nude is just fun and games.  A borderline harmless prank.

If the citizens of California were allowed to defend themselves against pedophiles and aggressive perverts with lethal force they wouldn’t be the most populous state in the union.

It’s funny that Dirty Harry was from San Francisco.  Today his policy regarding perverts is not California compatible.

It is, however, the policy is much the rest of the country.

I guess she didn’t want to carry a sign that said “I have 47 cats, a box wine habit, and no husband” around all day.

Misleading Hedaline: “Floridians will vote this fall on restoring voting rights to 1.5 million felons.”

Florida voters will decide this fall if 1.5 million felons will get their voting rights back.

Desmond Meade of Orlando and his group Floridians for Fair Democracy successfully gathered more than 799,000 certified signatures in their years-long petition drive, just a week before the deadline to reach the required total of about 766,000. On Tuesday, the state certified the initiative for the Nov. 6 ballot.

If approved by 60 percent of voters in the fall, the amendment would restore voting rights to Floridians with felony convictions after they fully complete their sentences, including parole or probation. Those convicted of murder or sexual offenses would continue to be barred from voting.

Floridians will vote this fall on restoring voting rights to 1.5 million felons.

Only voting rights, gun rights they are still Second Class Citizens, maybe Third Class. And it makes sense because they only bar murderers or sexual offenders and allows those who pleaded to a lesser charge of manslaughter vote, same for anybody convicted of a crime of violence.  Basically, you could have beaten 50 people and these organization feels they have a right to decide how your safety can me changed and reduced.

I am for the restoration of rights for non-violent felons, so Big Fat No coming November.

PS: There are two other proposals passed but not ratified yet and I have not read them. I’ll let you know.
