Apparently, we should be cultivating politically correct romantic and erotic attractions to unappealing people – say, overweight bores with borderline personalities. Because, says Ms Hedlund, love and sex are unequally “distributed,” with an unfair amount of both going to people who are deemed lovable and attractive by the people loving them, and not insufferable sociopaths with horrific disfigurements. Or, one suspects, self-styled “feminist killjoys.”
YGTBSM2x!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
skybill-out
Harrison Bergeron, call your office.
So now they even wnt to redistribute love and atrraction.
LOL These fools are even more strident communists than the soviets were.
It’s inevitable that people who are taught from infancy that equality of results belongs to everyone.
Logically, though, an unfair amount of both going to people who are deemed lovable and attractive by the people loving them seems about right to me.
It’s as though she is arguing that an unfair amount of rare steaks are being eating by people who hunger for rare steak and they should be eating undercooked lima beans or charred through-and-through steaks instead of hungering for that which appeals to them.
Or likewise it’s unfair that so many people want to vacation on tropical islands instead of parched deserts or devoid of flora icy arctic landscapes.
Whatever she is paid, it’s too much.
This is a person who, for society’s safety, needs to have her soapbox kicked out from under her.
The heart wants what the heart wants and though they may not get it, Hedlund is not the person who should be the determiner of what they do get.
Well, okay. And just to set an example of magnanimity, I’ll give John my crack at Liz May.
I kind of like how it worked out. I dislike tropical island vacations and crowds, so I don’t go where I don’t want to be.
I’ll give BCer a crack at calling you an anti-Semite , because you don’t want Lizzard May
So let me get this right. Just as we’re letting everyone match up regardless of sex or indeterminate gender or even species, we’re essentially talking about arranged marriages to make things “fair” here?
Moonbattery is so full of inherent contradictions, isn’t it?
(My favourite one right now is the move to legalize pot while simultaneously vilifying tobacco.)
I’ve never been to the tropics either myself. However, my point was that what you or I want to choose is according to Hedlund, unfair.
I would like to point out the cisnormative injustice of how so few people want venomous reptiles as pets! It is unfair that people only want fully domesticated and properly socialized animals as companions! The fact this person does not want to be maimed by a black mamba or honey badger, simply means she ain’t as enlightened as she thinks she is.
I am also willing to bet this SJW poser is in sensitively against things like cliterodectomies and honor killings.
Now, now, NME666, stop jumping to conclusions. Here’s an excerpt from a Great Book you ought to read:
“Be thee not ashamed of thy attention to slander and false judgement, but no attention to truth and the perfection of thy soul?”
This item nicely supplements her poppycock:

All this reminds me of something I recall Harlan Ellison saying in a radio interview I heard many years ago:
“The more I know people, the better I like dogs.”
jjm@9:23 totally hits it square in the nuts..especially the pot vs tobacco bit.
You mean I have to give up my lifelong attraction to tall blue eyed blonds with ample bosoms and large IQs? In reality, I’m attracted to me without the dick. I suppose the next thing is I should be attracted to hairy ass homos?
This might explain the recent remake of Ghostbusters.
Oh Brave New World…
So gentle readers, all obese/awkward/sociopath personalities matter, right?
Good grief indeed.
I think all will be happier if the SJWs would just go f*** themselves.
Anyone remember the brilliant idea feminists foisted on the CFL a few years back,when they forced them to hire fat,unattractive cheerleaders?
That great idea lasted as long as the proverbial snowball, and I had to feel sorry for the dumpy women who shared the sidelines with all those model-attractive other cheerleaders.
I agree with Edward Teach.
“When loving you is wrong I don’t wanna be right.”

I have always enjoyed the phrase, “Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.” I think I’ll tweak it a bit and say, “Don’t smear BS in my face and tell me it’s chocolate fudge.”
I like Kate’s phrase line:
“They think the only difference between shit and sunshine is the speed at which they travel.”
The horrible, false Western construct of cis-normative love and unattainable beauty standards is what drove Chelsea Clinton to have so much cosmetic surgery … and still then … only be able to bag a Wall Street FRAUD from a family of FRAUDSTERS. A perfect marriage, I assume ? Still, it shows the power of the FALSE Western construct of love, beauty, and marriage. Without plastic surgery, Chelsea would have been banished from the hetero-normative world and forced into the arms of a similarly UN-beautiful lesbian.
Frieda Pinto vs Frieda Kahola. You make the choice.
One a communist, part jewish, bisexual with a mustache and eyebrows spanning her entire forehead ….. a hard drinking, cigarette smoking, sexually promiscuous famous painter.
The other an Indian model and actress with an entirely different set of assets.
So difficult to choose……
Sure they want equality of outcome but think inequality of effort will get them there; never going to happen even with massive Soviet style coercion.
I remember the speech from the political officer at the end of Enemy At The Gates. He talks about how there is always someone smarter, better looking, despite Soviet efforts to create the dream of equality. By then even the commies knew it was silly crap. And know we have “progressives” who are starting to use violence.
Absolutely. Let’s not only weaken the gene pool. Let’s destroy it entirely.
If you follow the link on one of David Thompson’s comments, there’s a picture of the young lady in question. She’s not bad looking, but I wouldn’t go near any chick spouting drivel like that. And, I think somebody said, whatever she’s paid, it’s way too much. Another suggested that departments like that should be nuked, which is nearer the mark, I think.
You’re quite right there.
The problem is that the Left has an obdurate belief that people’s natural tendencies and attractions can be educated out of them and that the results that they think are fair can be achieved with education+coercion.
It’s all stick all the time with constant nagging to spice things up.
They have no notion of a carrot, a carrot would be letting people have what they want instead of the Leftist cotton-candy idea of fairness.(progress to Utopia)
They are true believers in this combination which they just know in their skeevy little hearts will overcome human nature and produce the perfected socialist man.
It’s almost as though they don’t know what it means to be human at all.
“…Chelsea Clinton to have so much cosmetic surgery … and still then … only be able to bag a Wall Street FRAUD from a family of FRAUDSTERS. A perfect marriage, I assume ? …”
I assume the Clintons would never have allowed their daughter to marry an honest man.

Hot or Not ? … the internet decides. Self belief is meaningless … why else would so many middle and high school girls commit suicide after reading a mean Facebook post ?
