This is certainly more true in some locales than others: I recall one wag suggesting that LA and San Francisco seem to want to revoke the citizenship of anyone with a 'non-ideal' body shape. I don't really begrudge you all hitting me a bit, since I came in here irritably,as I didn't like the way that Evolutionary biology was treated in the post. I should probably point out that my site is a collaberation and that if anything I am the xenophilic one there (I know, obvious joke here), where my friend and cowriter Rick is the one so concerned -w- improperly documented immigration, and doubtless penis size too (sorry, Rick :-) ). Anyway, I may stick around a bit, especially after reading through a bit and enjoying some of the wit.

Now that I'm on Safari...all I can say is, HAHAHAHAHA! You do know what will happen when the human race all becomes, by current standards, flawlessly beautiful? What else? The ante will get upped for what "beautiful" is, yet again. Every blemish will stand out in bas relief. Ideal nose and perfect tooth symmetry standards will become ever more exacting. The tiniest softening of a "square" jaw will be cause to get a million-dollar facelift. A guy with a squeaky voice will stick out all the more and will be pressured to undergo costly hormone treatments and Bast knows what else to try to deepen it. And I don't even wanna THINK about what women will have to go through to shrink feet that are too big and clunky for $5000 shoes. Like my ex-boyfriend used to say, "People love to complain."

Yes. And the Beautiful Coffee People will speak disparagingly of the way Monkeys will do jobs that Goblins just won’t do.</i> HEEHEEHEE OMG I think I love you! You know, Kate, frivolity is a factor for obesity. Better watch it! You'll never get married (of course, then you'd just pack on the pounds anyway!) Speaking of packing on the pounds, that phrase was used in the Miss England/Miss World article somebody posted up there... Interesting. She's definitely promoting HAES by refusing to be a big woman when she says she's naturally athletic, but the article makes it out to sound like she's getting some guilty pleasure out of "forcing herself to eat" a high fiet diet. Ooooh, oh! And I LOOOOooooooOOOOOOVE how David's last paragraph on his own site (whose tab comes up with Spectator spelled incorrectly, btw), basically jsut starts throwing pseudo-sholarly language out there to confuse all of us WOMINZZ and really connect with the men! We’ll end up competeting with the goblins for the menial jobs.

Yes. And the Beautiful Coffee People will speak disparagingly of the way Monkeys will do jobs that Goblins just won’t do.
