I’m so tired of these stupid women. Anyone with any sort of digital footprint will get some sort of negative comments. Some women will use it to “prove” misogyny is everywhere. Or look at the Obi Wan show. Disney probably fit tons of messages praising how “stunning and brave the actress was. But of course they focused on 4 messages, and I’m suspicious they were planted by Disney
In this case though the chick is objectively horrendous.
Yea .. no.
These women are there to virtue signal how tolerant, accepting and progressive they are by complimenting someone grossly unattractive. They're patting themselves on the back at her expense. It's just the usual performative narcissism.
''You go girl, rock that bald hairstyle!''
As was said in Lady Ballers - it's the virtue-economy
This is some next level projection, holy shit that's funnier than just seeing a picture of here with the caption "fashion influencer" under it.
Because its not like women invented the concept of attractiveness as a moral judgement, where guys they find attractive are somehow just better people (in complete rejection of their actual actions) than those who aren't.
Also, far more interesting a specimen is the Psychologist they quote:
Let's break down all the red flags here.
Online therapy doesn't work. Its a complete scam, almost entirely existing currently because Better Help had enough money to just outlast any bad press until it became the sponsor of every podcast in existence and people just accepted it as a thing. I could rant about why its bad, but that would go on for a bit so just take my word for it.
"Emotional issues stemming from childhood" are like 1 of the only 4 possible types of fucking emotional issues people face, and probably the most common. Its like advertising yourself as a dentist that "has particular experience with cavities and fillings!"
"Client centered practices" are basically every single type of therapy in existence except for radical or super unique specialized ones. Again, like a dentist who says he focuses on Teeth instead of Dentures. Same with "trauma-focused approaches" which is just meaningless fluff because no one who hopes to keep a license wouldn't focus on trauma once its found, or at least refer you to someone else. To keep on the trend, like a dentist who claims he will totally focus on any holes he finds in your teeth.
So all that's left is what should be obvious. A radical feminist with strong social justice beliefs tricking a bunch of depressed losers out of their money with a sham service that is there to brainwash them into being Woke Like Her under the guise of helping them with their mental issues.
But instead she just gets quoted as "Psychologist" to lend her some form of scientific weight. When even the slightest knowledge of who she is makes all her comments a case of "of course you would think that."
I wanna hear your arguments against Telehealth. It’s not good for every patient. But it has advantages imo, and is sometimes necessary. I do realise you might not be against all Telehealth, just psych. Either way I wanna hear it.
As a supplementary process, its fine enough. Especially in the regular medical field where followups can be as simple as "how you feeling, does it still hurt, show me a picture, etc." and not requiring the physical component of the main visit.
But let's take a patient requesting painkillers for a non-visible injury. How do doctors determine the correct course of action? They watch body language, mixed with speech, to make considerable judgements about the person from what they see and how reliable their self reporting is. Rudimentary tests are done, but all of them are often just fake outs to see if they can call your bluff.
Because that's all psyche is, self reporting. Therapists can't run tests on your mind to get anything but a few specific results, they rely entirely on what you are telling them after its been run through your mind as a filter. So getting accurate information requires not just listening to your words, but having a complete picture of your body language in all forms (just like above) to make determinations regarding what you are saying.
Somebody talking about their trauma while trembling is having a very different reaction to it than someone who is completely stiff versus someone who is quite cheerful. You might be able to hear that somewhat, but that's a gamble. And its a huge fucking gamble because that's something that your entire relationship with the client might hinge on you getting right. The voice only might be crucial to talking down in a very pivotal and bad moment, but that's a crisis reaction that is meant to tide them into the next visit.
But that's also assuming you are doing this on the phone, as the word "telehealth" implies. Most "online therapy" is just texting or a forum, which gives you the least possible info. People aren't going to just drop all barriers and be truthful as possible with you in therapy. They will try to make themselves look better, or more victimized, or many other forms if given the chance, which typing (where you can backspace and rewrite as needed) gives plenty. They will also give up very little subtle information, because how a person types reveals very little about their emotional and mental state without having a long history of knowing how they text to begin with. Its ironically less useful than just having a friend talk to you while you vent about your problems.
Which is what "online therapy" tries to portray itself as. A friend you can just unload your problems on and be magically fixed. Which does make a person feel better, but that's only if their problems were fucking low key to begin with and would have been fixed for fucking free if they just told anyone in their life.
Because Online Therapists are already very famous for being woefully unqualified and completely useless, with many many cases of them getting their licenses revoked or having clients go off the fucking rails due to them not addressing or completely missing what would otherwise be obvious redflags that required reporting. Literally everything I just typed we were taught in like Junior Year of a psyche undergrad for how important it is and how crucial a component it was to the package.
I'll stop now because you get the picture, but I could keep going on.
TLDR: You'd be better off taking the slight loss in reactivity by just talking to a fucking AI Bot and unloading your mental problems on them than paying BetterHelp (the most common and likely cheapest option) 250-400$ a month for a fucking texting friend.
excellent deconstruction
How come the author looks exactly like the subject of the article? Surely this has nothing to do with her take on the issue.
The word choice here is (unintentionally) brilliant and got a small chuckle out of me.
No, she looks like the curly-haired kid on Stranger Things if he took estrogen for three years and gained 100+ pounds.
No they don't. They get to virtue signal by calling some fat broad "pretty", and as a bonus decrease competition for a mate.
So all the women calling you pretty are sexually attracted to you?
Normally I don't comment on this shit because it's so common, but there were actually a few uniquely funny bits in this one to me.
Madigan is literally the worst journalist in Australia. literally
Some pretty stiff competition for that
This is why women should be banned from social media.
couldn't agree more
lol. must have been a big knife
Plz don't link directly to ragebait like this.
99% of the time it is “mild criticism” and “pointing out errors” which they write newspaper articles about.
However much you hate our news organizations. It is NOWHERE near enough.
It's the double standards that gets me. She being overweight expects nothing but compliments and an insistence that men change their preferences. We all know there is no body positive movement for men and that a man with a beer gut would be told in no uncertain terms to hit the gym and get fit with zero tolerance for any divergence from that advice.
There also appears to be a push to paint criticism of a woman as misogyny but not the other way round.
There is a theory that women might be complimenting her as a form of intrasexual competition because men generally don't want overweight women and keeping her overweight is one less woman to compete against. If anything, the body acceptance movement could be one large intrasexual competition play.
''You'd look very good with short hair.''
~The Competition.
One thing is for sure , women are conniving and manipulative and love nothing more than to talk shit behind peoples backs
I'd say your theory is spot-on.
The one time in my office we had a temp-worker come in whom was unobjectively attractive, and ever other woman in the office lost their goddamn minds.
Moreso than normal, that is.
The kicker was, she wasn't even that pretty. She looked good, yeah, and could actually rock it with skin-tight jeans, but she wasn't going for obvious sex appeal or the like. She just looked good and dressed well, and all the other older and/or fat women couldn't fucking stand it.
Women are so fake. It's hilarious that they actually think they can hide it from men.
I saw a video the other day and the top comment was something like, "There is no ugly if you have a loving heart filled with love to give." It had hundreds of replies from women saying "Yes!" and other bullshit claiming it's "so true."
It's so absurd I don't even need to explain why. It's just a relevant recent example of this shit being pervasive within female circles.
Another example is a viral video where a group of women had to rank themselves from most attractive to least attractive, and they ranked the fat ugly whale as most attractive and the pretty, skinny one as least attractive.
Then a group of men came in and were asked to rank them and they totally flipped the women's order.
But women will continued pretending like we don't know what they're doing lol
Writes article about what mean things men say.
Doesn’t provide a single example.
Either they don’t exist or they were posted from the same women that praised her.
There is nothing natural about that gunt.
I stopped reading when I read she was 21.
In what world does somebody look like that at 21? She's got that kind of shapeless melty looking body that you usually only see in older people.
Goddamn it, she looks like a trash bag full of sand.
Nsfl warnings next time buddy, I was eating lunch 🤮
men insult each other and don't mean it
women compliment each other and don't mean it
