Perhaps Jessica should have taped her breasts down flat or considered wearing a burrka so her woman-ness would not have shown..isn’t that what feminism is all about?
As a small framed person with very large twins I get this crap all the time.Jessica’s big mistake was having a cute figure and having the NERVE to appear happy as well, for shame!!!!!Perhaps Ann has a bit of envy.
But she sounds more like a spokesperson for the taliban.Maybe none of you lady bloggers should have gone to that lunch without a male escort… is it proper for a lady to go out alone and APPEAR to be having THAT much fun?AND with a visible figure???(gasp)..
Petty indeed.And so sad also.Not agreeing with Jessica on the issues would have been one thing(although I assume that is more effort that ann could muster) but to call Jessica out on her wardrobe choice and how she looked in a photo is almost sexism itself…hmmmm is ann a self loathing woman hater?Pity.
I wonder if ann will call laura bush out as well..She has spent the past 3 days with Clinton, I hope ann blackwell will cover what laura wears and how she smiles for photos…I have a LOVELY photo of ms laura I would love to get ann to review.Goodness miss ann has reduced herself to a grown up chatting with her readers like a teenager would when thumbing thru a issue of “seventeen”…hard hitting , serious issues!…Who is setting women back again???OOPS ann…who could take her serious after that? A self made joke in one sleazy post.Brilliant!(oops a french word and big boobs I risk making ann’s list(gasp)!).
Maha, you also looked smokin and damn it you looked happy too!You may be next!Try not to dress so nice next time.And tape yourself flat would ya?, for crying out loud, you look like a woman!We should be hiding everything that defines us a women from the public…
I am going to put on the tightest top I have today,, with , hold yourself, a PUSH UP BRA!With the twins hanging high and proud I am going to walk thru life and be happy.This is America and I don’t need to consult ann on my outfit choice or the smile on my face (one can only imagine what she would pick ugh!)…
I am tired of being insulted by the anns of the world because I was given great factory boobs… straight from God! Why don’t righties grasp that? They don’t pop off when I run or play tennis or meet former presidents.So what should I do? Never leave my home so I can protect the world from my large boobs?”Down play” them so I can make petty insecure women feel better?
To me (and I could well be wrong here so feel free to correct me), feminism is about being respect for who you are as a woman, no matter who that is.If that is true, ann proves how far we have to go.You cannot be respected if ann has figure envy.ann says so.
Ann acts like Jessica wore the french maid costume from fredricks , the lady was fully covered and dressed in a cute outfit, was she suppose to wear a moo-moo and houseshoes? Hey Jessica, could ya try to ugly it up next time..maybe black out a tooth?Try wearing a triple x sweatshirt, that always makes a gal look her best…or something with a huge lace collar that goes all the way to the waist….HAHAHAHAHA..Who knew you could be a well dressed woman and still get unsolicted fashion advice from the world?
To all you ladies be proud of who you are and what you have.No matter what your shape or size you are beautiful.Let that beauty show just like the Ladies in that photo and hold your heads high.NEVER let one of our own make us feel we should be ashamed to be women.We should be supporting each other.What a sad day when one of our own destroys that bond for such a petty , sloppy piece of blog material.
P.S.One look at anns photo told me all I needed to know… the home bleach kit she uses on her hair must have went to her head. No wonder she is a bitter shrill
And tape yourself flat would ya?,
I need a full-body duct tape wrap, I’m afraid. 🙂
“Small things for small minds” is a phrase that often comes to my mind whenever around righties (it’s a great way to disarm their silly assertions, try it), and it certainly applies here. And I’m not referring to cup size.
Oh I see! Thats what the homeland security wanted us to do with the duct tape…Tape the woman right out of ourselves!Just make sure you are not taped in a attractive way, lest we get ann’s panties in a wad again.
Also I guess ann missed the new “bra revolution” on last weeks oprah…she would have felt right at home..there were boobs everywhere!
Boobs are so disturbing to so many soul-sucking people that I think I’m going to star wearing a tiny silver boob on a chain around my neck – far more effective against the real vampires among us than the crucifixes that most of them are already wearing themselves.
After all these years, if I wanted more people to visit my humble blog, I just needed to discuss breasts more often. I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me sooner. What a fool I’ve been.
Dear Ann Althouse —
Honi soit qui mal y pense.
Thanks –
Perhaps some people (both Althouse-type bloggers and the liberal bloggers who mock them) are paying too much attention to “mean, petty non-issues” because the A-list bloggers in attendance at this gathering have chosen not to pay attention to non-petty issues? Or maybe that’s just my admiration of Liza Sabater talking…
“I need a full-body duct tape wrap, I’m afraid”
Got’cha Maha…No need to fear…
And I’ll bring the Duct Tape…
Which color do you think will be most flattering; Silver, Blue or that lovely shade of O.D. Green?
Almost makes me yearn for the good-ole-days, when the unbelievable ignorance of law professors was apparent only to those who attended law school. Thanks to the world wide web, such ignorance is now available for all to see.
