Kim has had it with lazy women - "Get your F---ing ass up and work"

109. I appreciate that

You have no idea who I am or what I have been through or what I care about. I vote and am active every election cycle, I volunteer with our registrar to work at the polls, I have handed out literature door to door, and worked phone banks. In my opinion it is much more productive than sitting around, preaching to the choir on a message board. I visit DU every single day to catch up on news and other topics. Have found it to be a great source and quite a few times find out breaking news here first before I even catch on other main stream media sources.
So, to your point of why this was the first topic I posted on all of these years, well there has to be a first. As a single father of two daughters who I have sole physical and legal custody of for reasons that break my heart, the comments and attacks I see on women mostly, but honestly all people, for their body is something that is very, very important to me. My eldest daughter has been through hell and back because of this stuff, and it just makes me so, so sad. It has been to the point in the past of working through issues with suicide. So yeah, this is a pretty damn pressing topic for me. People can say the shittiest things that they think are just a joke, but have no idea what that truly does the psyche of a person. Unfortunately, I can't impart on my daughter that hey, just don't pay attention to that mess, or don't listen to them. Myself, I couldn't care any less what you say to me about my physical appearance, etc.. but it is so important at a young age to not be ostracized by peers for your body shape or type. So while you may not see this is a "pressing topic facing the nation", I assure you it is, and is a very pressing topic facing me and my family.
Attack Kim for what she said, there is plenty there for that. But damn, grow up (not speaking directly to you) and knock off the comments about her body. It is her choice what she looks like or what she does with her body, it is just none of your business.
