Love Your Body Day

And of course, Rush always has to say something that annoys me.

Here's what he said today:

RUSH: You know what the lead item here at the NAGs website is? It doesn't get any better than this. I wanted to see what was on the minds of the NAGs, the National Association of Gals. That's my pet name for the National Organization for Women. I kid you not. The top story on their website: "Get ready to celebrate Love Your Body Day." I kid you not, folks. "Are you tired of advertisers telling you what's wrong with your body, your skin, your hair, your face? Are you fed up with the media's narrow portrayal of women? Help the [NAGs] foundation promote positive, inclusive images of women and girls, start planning events now for Love Your Body Day on October 20th." There's the NAGs website, of all things. What did I tell you? Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.

Okay, Rush, here's a clue. This "Love your body" day was created in the hopes that women, who suffer not from worrying about their facial features but about their bodies, but from death-causing diseases such as bulimia and anorexia, could learn to stop worrying about what guys like you think of their bodies, and start living their lives like normal people. It had nothing to do with how attractive they were.

And for a guy who's been morbidly obese most of his life and is not all that slim today, and who certainly doesn't have handsome features, to make cracks about "unattractive women" is just beyond the pale, and I hope his beautiful wife gives him an earful when he gets home.
