A Perfect Example of Bullying
I must admit, this is one of those rare instances where the media and masses got things right.
This scenario is a clear–cut case of bullying.
In fact, I would be hard–pressed to find one better.
Since I consider myself one of the manosphere’s bloggers while most don’t [simply because most don’t read my blog, so my stats tell me] I can already hear the blood rushing to your cheeks from reading the words above.
Your hands clenching and unclenching in preparation to leave a scorching and soon–to–be–immortalized comment on the internet.
Your disbelief at the accuracy of my assessment gamboling with rising anger to the very corners of your mind.
You, my digitally manifested friend who stands [sits?] in judgement over me, are wrong.
And I’ll prove it.
“bullying” = present participle of bul·ly
Verb:
Use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.
That is a clear, concise definition of the societal crime I am saying took place.
Because there can be no doubt it did.
Therefore, I state, for the record:
Jennifer Livingston is the bully in this scenario.
That’s right, Jennifer Livingston used her vastly superior influence [1] to force the American public into both further embracing “fat acceptance” and to intimidate individuals from pointing out such a lifestyle is unhealthy.
By all means, comment in painfully polite disagreement with “fat acceptance” on the video for further proof.
As stated above, she exemplifies the very definition of the crime of which I accuse her.
Publicity stunt or not, she is a bully.
And a successful one at that. [2]
Ω
[1] = When compared to the letter’s author; all bullying is comparative. Any reader here can beat–up a third grader but that makes the child no less a bully to a second grader]
[2] = Having read the post in its entirety, should you continue to disagree, I am left no recourse but to take my logic, facts and small penis back to my mom’s basement, where I shall [paradoxically] be both powerless to get laid yet powerful enough to manipulate all women into feeling the need to conform to an unrealistic standard of beauty.

I had already left a comment on the video before I saw your post (and had come to the same conclusion). The best part was when she said we need to lead by example when it comes to bullying. However, I guess that’s not applicable when it comes to obesity.
Fat hypocrite is fat and hypocrite.

Agreed 100%.
Thanks for a great comment, John.

She’s using her very own Bully pulpit.
Her pulpit is structurally reinforced with steel and concrete load bearing columns.

If I get to your area someday, we’re hanging out.
You never fail to crack me up.

Then the talk about the crisis we’re experiencing about bullying is indeed overblown. Everyone’s a bully now. Obama is a bully. The U.S. is a bully. The police are bullies. The army is a bully. A bullet is a bully. A knife is a bully. God is a bully.
The people who “aren’t” bullies are victims and they bully their way into the bully cast.
We’re all victims and bullies.
Man – I hate seminars on not bullying people at my uni.
So full of shit.

I definitely hear you regarding the seminars.
I loathed them every time I was forced to attend them.
Although it never failed to amuse me that they couldn’t see the irony in forcing me to do something against my will in order to dissuade me from doing the same.

I’ll have to ask them that sometime.
