+368 It is sad how there are so many girls who not only rely completely on their looks, but feel the need to bring down everyone else so they would look better by comparison. It's worse that thanks to today's society they can get away with it, amirite?

So... you are encouraging this then? You are part of society. Also, how do you know it happens only nowadays? I'm pretty sure girls using their looks to get what they want and bullying people along the way isn't a new idea.

Society's failures are not considered part of society, so I am not, technically. While it may have happened before, I doubt it was such a mass-spread thing.

Society's failures are the (wait for it)... failures of society. You are part of society, and therefore society's failures are also your failures. God, you're stupid. Girls have ALWAYS used their looks to put each other down. It's actually better now, considering it's acceptable to be a smart woman who doesn't need a man, yada yada yada. Two hundred years ago, you can bet women were even more reliant on their looks to get husbands and as their social hierarchy, besides family wealth. You are just part of today's society, and you weren't there even 50 years ago, so you wouldn't know.

Because we've always had extreme bullying based on nothing but looks, people insulting other people on streets because of their looks and the media that basically says IF YOU ARE NOT THIN AND PRETTY YOU ARE A HORRIBLE MEMBER OF SOCIETY AND SHOULD GO BACK TO THE HOLE FROM WHICH YOU CAME FROM. "smart woman who doesn't need a man" lulz. The girls I'm talking about in the post would never consider that acceptable, as a girl that does not get seven kinds of laid and married while she's still pretty is dumb. Smart women should only know about gossip and makeup and be as much a living stereotype as possible, otherwise they are chicks too ugly to ever get a man and need books as fulfilment=(. though TBH 50 years ago where i come from looks didn't matter since everyone was piss poor and were too busy with manual labour to harvest their prettiness. Maybe I'm ignoring the past in favour of complaining about how today is shit for a girl that is not anorexic.

Where on earth do you live? The media does NOT say anything like that. Most famous people are skinny, yes, but that doesn't mean they are putting down everyone who's not a stick. Also, I've never seen someone bully another person that they've never even seen before just because they don't look the way they want them to. I've seen insults, but I think you're dramatizing the situation. People do get bullied over their appearance, yes, but that's definitely not the norm. ...You need to understand THAT ISN'T THAT COMMON. Most girls do not do that. Stop seeing the bad that's a small portion and start seeing every other girl. It's not a large part of society that does that. Girls do not get shit today for not being anorexic. I don't know anyone anorexic, but when we thought my friend was, we all started freaking out attempting to get her to eat more. People like to be skinny, yes, but is there a problem with wanting a body that you can often get from being healthy?

Honey, you don't get out of the house much now, do you? Skinny does not equal healthy. Morbidly obese is just as bad as morbidly skinny, but a 100pound girl is "normal", whilst a 150 one is mocked as fat, despite the latter being more "healthy" than the former. I'm sorry, i think you're an idiot. Look around you, outside the pink fluffy bubble you're living in.

First of all, don't call me honey, it's demeaning. Second, I do, I just refuse to deal with bitches. 100 lbs isn't normal, no, but I'm talking about healthy skinny. I've never seen a girl of only 150 lbs mocked (and I have a few heavier friends), whereas I have had friends who are constantly asked if they're eating enough because they're skinny. Very heavy girls are mocked, yes, which is sad. I do not live in a pink fluffy bubble. I just think you're exaggerating this and being stupid when thinking that this is a new occurrence, girls judging each other and putting others down based off their appearances. This has always happened. It always will. It also doesn't happen as often as you make it seem. You make it seem like every girl is like that, when really, most girls are more sensible and less shallow than that.
