People are going to try blaming the Illuminati or the Jooz for this but I really think it's an unholy alliance of convenience culture and the unbelievable power of the Internet to foster and amplify delusion. We might have had some problems with only one or another but it took the Net's epic retard powers to make people think this shit was remotely acceptable. Honestly, I say this as a mostly gender equality-minded person but I also think that the demonization of stereotypically male traits like competitiveness and vocal criticism, and the elevation of 'feminine' traits has played its part too. Lesbians are the fattest group in America for a reason, and for my money I think it's because they're not demanding enough and not willing to needle each other (with good intentions at heart) to help the other be their best.
