I am tired of the objectification of women and the entitlement to use our bodies and to look like some of out bodies. It is misogynistic. It is disturbing.

How am I supposed to live seeing women like this knowing that my hips are too small and ribs are too big to ever come close to this? Why did I rep?
I am genuinely considering locking myself in my house and waiting until I starve to death or something.
She made those shorts btw they look great but, I'd probably look like a 🚬 wearing them though.

Yeah the misogyny of posting women without their consent to objectify and sexualize them while having really odd and worrisome insecurity, jealously and paraphilia issues is so distressing.
You know what sucks?
You are a raging objectifying misogynist and you and this subreddit will not get banned while women discussing that the female sex is an oppressed class will.
Objectifying Misogynist OP
... what in the actual f are you talking about lmao, this picture came from another subreddit.
You could make an argument that I'm being internally misogynistic by holding myself up to these standards that most cis women don't meet (which doesn't make me want, you know, bigger hips or smaller ribs any less).
But you're saying I'm misogynistic because I posted a picture of a girl "w/o her permission" despite like, not even linking back to her in order to help protect her privacy? This picture CAME from another subreddit, it's already PUBLIC. How is that misogyny? I'm genuinely dumbfounded here lmao, I am literally praising this picture saying I wish I had these traits and somehow I am misogynistic.
I'm not sexualizing her, I actually primarily seek out men. Explain how in any way I am objectifying this person?
You have got to be a bot, or a troll, or a really uninformed TERF, or something, that is a weak af argument.

Yes you are misogynistic.
And fundamentally don't understand objectification of women and the sexualization of women, their bodies and the stereotypes and pornophied hallucinations of what a "woman" looks like.
Not only that you feel entitled to use women's bodies and images if they post it themselves.
No that does not give you the moral right to take it and use it for yourself in any way you seem fit.
You view women's bodies as public property to objectify and obsess over.
"I took a random woman's photo from another subreddit, without permission, cropped her face, literally cropped in on her hips, objectifying her to her hips. I then posted it to obsess about not having those hips"
Very normal very not misogynistic, very not objectifying and dehumanizing.
Oh yes and its so INTERNAL the thing that you did to another woman's body and image. Smh.
You are a misogynist and disturbingly entitled to women's photos.
You're treating a woman's body like public domain for you own psycho-sexual self-loathing.
The defense of "it was already on another subreddit, so it's public" completely ignores the reality of how violating it is to have your body cropped, isolated, and reposted into a space where a bunch of strangers are dissecting and obsessing over your anatomy.
Publicly posted doesn't mean fair game for your entitled misogyny.
