Ugly/Fat Chicks and Equal Rights

[The_Rorschach]

I was trid skipping today, and crossing the Fox News Channel, I lingered long enough to notice they had a panel discussion over the topic of female news casters and their appearance. There was absolutely nothing on, and I watched my sole DVD -For a Few Dollars More- the day before, so I lapsed into a stupified silence and readied myself for what would doubtless be a morbid spectical.

In this I was not disappointed.

They all seemed to agree that, in the words of the sole female representative, females presented were "always" adherent of a set standard for age and beauty, appearing to be "the news anchor's other wife." I couldn't care less really, regarding her inferences, but her ignorance was appalling to say the least.

Allow me an analogy real quick. Here in America, we have Basketball, The short, fast guys are like are six feet five inches tall, six feet four, six feet three. Thats short. And they're incredibly fast. In football, those speedy little quarterbacks we see are brickbuildings, and those linemen are giants and run faster than you could believe. And thats just American sports, because today, with all the millions of dollars we put into it -they have to be. Sure, there are little guys who are quick, but they get passed over in favour of the people whom are bigger, and just as good.

I mean, sure, you can find some crusty cunt to play the mouth parrot for the nightly news if you want, but why settle for that when one can just as easily acquire someone of model calibre? The Entertainment industry is just as expansive as the Sports industry. Noone has a de facto right to work, its a claim right -or a liberty- therefore I see no reason why fat/ugly women should recieve special treatment when being considered for new caster occupations.

Just curious if anyone agrees with me I guess.
