But it's disappointing, to say the least, to learn that overweight women harbor so much such self-hatred and jealousy that they'd send young, pretty, skinny, innocent women to jail as revenge. I suppose I should therefore feel comforted that there are lawyers vigilant enough to keep them off juries. But it comes across as a demeaning, archaic, VERY sexist stereotype all the same.
Are you saying your believed this bullshit? Or is this tongue in cheek? Because is IS
complete bullshit... as much crap as overweight women (and men for that matter, though I still believe young women suffer the most... society tells them they are supposed to be beautiful, whereas men are told they need to be strong) take from just about every.single.aspect of their lives, this is just another example of over-the-top crap that they have to live with. Now they can't be on juries because someone said they are VERY unsympathetic and a bunch of people believe that???
OMG, I could go on and on. I've watched my daughter suffer (and I do mean SUFFER) for being overweight most of her life (hyperinsulinemia) and the things that young people think they can get away with (and did because after years of that abuse, she found it hard to stand up for herself, since the torment gets worse if you fight back) in tormenting her because she's "just a fat chick" make me want to really kill someone.
And she is the kindest, most sympathetic person I've met - with little self-esteem, unfortunately...she would never "send a young, pretty, skinny, innocent woman to jail for revenge"... when she had jury duty, she took it VERY seriously and tied herself up in knots to do the right thing. And yes, I do know that my daughter is just one person, but as far as I've been able to tell, most young women who are overweight are more likely to hurt themselves than someone else... after years of bullying, they have very little self-esteem left.
