I think you do. Who cares what she weighs? She is a very strong-looking, healthy woman. Calling her fat is informed by stereotypes of what women "should" look like. Small and delicate. It's also quite racialized. The standard of western beauty has always been white. That has been changing for years now. Look to the 70's standard of beauty personified by Cheryl Tiegs - thin-lipped, pale, slender hips and thighs. Compare that to Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez of today.
Unfortunately you are still judging women by outdated stereotypes. Michelle Obama is a beautiful woman. She may not be your type. I doubt she would be as she is what? 5 or 6 inches taller than you? That's understandable as you obviously hold to old-fashioned gender stereotypes and are only attracted to women your height or shorter. It does cut down on options, but we can't help whom we find attractive. And that is fine. But to denigrate her by calling her fat is a judgement on racial beauty and it's denigrating to women.

No Rana is not a bitch. She's offended by your remarks on this thread because hello top - your comments are offensive to women. Some of us white women do get pissed off when women of color are denigrated. Not all of us embrace the denigration of other women as a way to prop ourselves up. Con women often do. I'm sure Sarah Palin would find you hysterical. I don't. Rana doesn't.
You must not have many, or any, friends who are women of color. You cannot even imagine the can of worms you open when you attack a black woman like Michelle Obama as being "fat". She's not. She cannot live up to, or down to, your image of what is "beautiful". You really need to expand your horizons so you might have some hope of suspecting just how offensive your behavior is.

Come on, Dude. I understand disagreeing with politics, but this? Michelle isn't shaped like Twiggy (you're old enough to remember that pinched personification of the devaluation of the pound).
What is this obsession with models and those anorexic shapes?? The point is to be healthy. People come in different shapes and sizes. To expect all women to try and look like a model (and they don't look like that without pro makeup & hair people) is insane or they have no say in the world?
Absolutely wrong on this one, my friend.

Apparently you are unable to comprehend a word that I wrote. I realize she's bigger than you are Top, but just because she's a woman who hits 6 ft, and doesn't have a flat white ass, doesn't mean she's unhealthy. From looking at her I'd easily wager she has a very healthy BMI. But really, that's irrelevant.
We do have an obesity epidemic in this country, and a large part of it is because of the food lobby. A company like say Pepsico, will sign exclusive deals with school districts allowing only their sugary products to be sold. Schools have become more and more vulnerable to this predatory behavior on the part of corporations as budgets have shrunk. In fact, the food lobby is the one who are "controlling" what kids are eating. If the government can at least partially move the narrative back to reality by refusing to call pizza a vegetable, that is a good thing. That a first lady wants to use her position not to call kids "fat" - you are the only one calling anyone fat here - but to emphasize good and healthy eating and the importance of exercise, is a good thing. Only moonbats can see something evil. And only sexists would attack that woman's appearance. Rush Limbaugh has been doing it often. So that's the company you're in Top.

"I could care less which woman need a man or not. "
And I have no idea what this babble means. This isn't about men. You are the one making it about men. Because everthing's gotta be about the menz.

What does the color of her booty have to do with it, racist?
The white women I know don't have fat asses, biatch. You don't have to be a lard ass like yourself to have a round tush.

I honestly think that Michelle is beautiful. But of course not everyone will share this opinion. Beauty is very subjective. I know men who other women think are gorgeous, but I don't see it. Others, I do see that they are good looking but don't find them the least bit attractive. The only thing I ever say is "just not my type."
I feel that it is male supremacists who are compelled to call a woman they don't find attractive a cow, or a dog, or ugly, or whatever. As if they, and they alone, can dictate who is fuckable. And once a woman is deemed unfuckable, then she better shut up because what possible other use could she have to anyone?
Michelle Obama is being attacked not for her opinions, but personally, in a degrading manner. And every woman knows what that means. It means, shut up bitch before someone backhands you.
It's so controlling and sexist...it's infuriating. You don't think she's attractive, fine. I am willing to wager that I would find most of the men posting here unattractive for one reason or the other (and honestly from reading the posts, most of that would have nothing to do with physicality). But I would not tell you to sit down and shut your ugly mouth, or your bald mouth, or your short mouth, or your pasty faced mouth. Because you are a human being and you deserve to be heard regardless of whether or not I find you personally attractive.
Grow up. You are living in another century. It's a good thing you found 23 women willing to sleep with you in that century, cause in the one we currently reside in, I don't like your odds.

This is a key point, that it is about health not some preconceived idea about how all women should be shaped. After all, there are numerous factors that effect a woman's (or a man's) shape. There are even racial differences in how bodies are shaped. Of course it is a generalization, but there are differences.

Under pressure from lobbyists and some food companies that sell frozen pizza, salt and potatoes, Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee rejected the new rules, painting them as “burdensome and costly regulations...”
...Margo G. Wootan, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), explained that Congress seemed more concerned about the protecting corporate profits than children’s health."
Typical conservative thinking, use children for profits. If the right had their way children would be working in sweatshops and not going to school at all. Why feed them? They're the underclass filthy poor and going to die in the mines anyway?
Profits over people has always been at the core of conservative thinking.

During the Reagan era, for all of you young whippersnappers out there, that administration tried to designate ketchup as a vegetable.
Reagan’s FY1982 budget proposed $57 billion in spending cuts, with $27 billion of those cuts to entitlements. The budget was later modified and passed as the Gramm-Latta Budget which cut $1 billion from the school lunch program and tasked the USDA with coming up with a solution that maintained nutritional requirements for school lunches in spite of the lower funding On September 3, 1981, the Secretary of Agriculture proposed classifying ketchup and pickle relish as vegetables to save money on school lunch programs.
The proposal to classify ketchup as a vegetable met with outrage from nutritionists and Democrats.[2] Compounding this outrage, on the same day that the USDA announced the cost-cutting proposal for school lunches, the White House purchased $209,508 worth of new china and place settings with the presidential seal embossed in gold."

Cut him some slack...Toppy's had 23 whole women in his lifetime, which works out to something like .0000000004% of the population.
With all that "experience" going for him...he's qualified to decide for everyone else what is and isn't "fat".

Who is this Michael you keep referring to?
When you're done discussing this fat guy Michael, let me know when we're going to discuss Michelle Obama some more.
Wow, that was really well put, thanks.
I think you're a wonderful bitch, Rana.
Thanks, baby!
