		<description><![CDATA[A particular highlight, of course, is how the comments were  discussing her weight in terms of whether she&#039;s attractive to these douchey men, when her sexuality means she wouldn&#039;t want to attract them anyway.

Jeez. You don&#039;t want her? Here&#039;s a newsflash: She doesn&#039;t want you either! 

And I don&#039;t know representative this is, but I know an awful lot of  &quot;traditionally attractive&quot;  lesbians whose &quot;type&quot; is, pretty much, Beth Ditto. 

I take a certain amount of somewhat nasty amusement in the idea that there are probably a lot of what these morons would consider &quot;hot chicks&quot; crushing on her, who would never look at them. 

I hate how many idiots take offense at fat women for, basically, failing to provide them with eye candy. Like that&#039;s all a woman is good for, and all other achievements (like being a prominent musician) pale in comparison to that one yardstick: are you hot enough for douchebags? 

And I know this isn&#039;t anything that hasn&#039;t been said here or other places before, but that page made me angry about it all over again, and I needed to vent.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really, really love Beth. Like, a lot. I&#039;ve seen them a couple of times and once while waiting outside a venue, she came outside and was talking to fans and I suddenly became very shy and couldn&#039;t say a word, even though I wanted to say OMG I LOVE YOU PLEASE BE MY BFF.

Look! Gossip on Letterman!

http://icanhaz.com/gossipontv

I choose to ignore all the mean comments people make about her weight and overall appearance. I don&#039;t know how anyone could possibly say that she&#039;s not a talented singer. Maybe if people shut up about her weight long enough to actually LISTEN, they&#039;d hear how awesome she is.

Ok, that&#039;s enough fangirl gushing from me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love Beth Ditto, but I was reading one of my sister&#039;s magazines (the kind where all the articles are about who&#039;s addicted to what and who&#039;s cheating on who and who&#039;s suddenly OMGFATZ since they had a baby) and I read that she wants to lose weight. For her health. I made this face :o and silently wished it to be SLANDEROUS LIES.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Seriously. Fat aside, it pisses me off to no fucking end that every article about a famous woman turns into a conversation about how fuckable she is. It doesn’t matter how talented a woman is, her only worth still lies in her physical attractiveness. Now I’m depressed =/&quot;

Me too. :(

I don&#039;t know if things have gotten worse or if I&#039;m just more cognizant of it (maybe both), but The Internet Male seems more and more preoccupied with fuckability of women these days. 

AV Club isn&#039;t Maxim Online. Why the hell is nearly every comment about a talented (and lesbian) musician whether or not some asshole somewhere would stick his dick in her or not? Gahhhh.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Melena, seriously.

On that note, I enjoyed this comment:
&lt;blockquote&gt;And we&#039;re off with a bang. Golly, boys, is she fat? Let&#039;s talk a lot more about that, because it&#039;s endlessly important.   AV Club writers, here&#039;s a time-saving suggestion: before you bother interviewing any more girls, can we put up a poll on the front page to find out if the readers think she&#039;s fuckable? If she doesn&#039;t get at least 85% &quot;I&#039;d do her!&quot; then you wouldn&#039;t need to bother interviewing her at all, and we wouldn&#039;t have to go to the trouble of slagging her off in the comment threads. Win-win. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
Followed by this one:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Yeah, but if she *is* at least 85% fuckable, then we&#039;ll have to spend the entire thread talking about how we&#039;d all like to do her. 
Let&#039;s just make it easier on all of us. How about: &quot;AV Club Motto - Boys only!&quot; Dumbasses. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
