Rise of the body fascists - Curse of the Mail comments

I'm just going to get straight to it, here is some immense stupidity in the comments of a Jan Moir opinion piece. Who would have thought it? Ignoring the article, which isn't that bad, just incredibly boring to me, let's dive straight into the comments, starting with this gem from Cindy Chaplin

""Curvier"? How I hate that word. What you mean is "fatter". Why can't people just say so?"

Interesting point Cindy, so in the spirit of straight talking, instead of saying: "You have an interesting name" I will from now on tell idiots like you that "You have a stupid name." That feels a lot better, I like all this insulting; "Cindy Chaplin you are a colossal brainfart."

Jane in Brighton has another interesting bit of body fascism:

"TRANSLATION: I don't take care what I eat, I stuff myself and drink too much, I don't take any exercise.............BUT I still want to look like an attractive, slim woman. 


GET REAL, PLEASE."

Insinuating that all women who are larger than a size 12 are fatties who stuff their faces? Check. Insinuating that only slim women can be attractive? Check. Shouting because everyone CAN'T HEAR YOU OTHERWISE? Check. Congratulations Jane, you've managed to live in one of the liberal capitals of Britain and become one of the biggest body fascists in the Daily Mail comments.

Now one from a man, maybe he can bring some sense to proceedings. Unfortunately he can't, over to you Alan...

"Let us be quite honest sizes 16 / 18 + can never be elegant and certainly not as you say "real womanly". Ms Moir there are actually places in the world where slim trim and elegant are the national norm and where women are very much real. Stop making excuses for the UK trend towards over eating and lack of exercise, instead try to instill some pride of appearance into our womenfolk. Oh and by the way, start at first base, yourself."

Oh, just fuck off.
