W.F. Price, the man behind The Spearhead and a tireless champion of Men’s Rights, has in his latest post taken on one of the gravest injustices facing American men today. I speak, of course, of fat ladies.
Traveling in Europe, Price has noticed that people tend to be skinnier there than in the US, which naturally has led him to think some deep thoughts about fat ladies in America and how disgusting he finds them.
So-called BBWs in the US are not really curvy — they are rotund.
I really can’t stress enough the extent to which obesity has ruined American women’s attractiveness. Feminists blather on and on about how women should be “comfortable” with their bodies, but the truth is that many American women would be viewed as abominations in most of the world.
Those damn feminists, making ladies fat!
If you were to try to come up with a parallel for men, I suppose it would be something like having toothless, homeless alcoholic men say that they should be proud of themselves and feel attractive.
Actually, if you were to find a parallel for men, it would also be, er, fatness. Obesity rates for men and women in the US are roughly the same, with women having only a slight lead: according to a recent CDC survey, 35.5 percent of adult women and 32.2 percent of adult men are “obese,” by current standards. Never mind that these standards are a bit, well, off, in that they classify the overwhelming majority of Americans as overweight or obese. Never mind that more than half of Europeans are also classified as overweight or obese according to these standards. And never mind that the fat shaming shit we hear every day in the media and on the internet is basically a bunch of bull.
Because Price thinks that fat ladies are gross:
Feminists are really that far out there. They are literally delusional by global standards. No normal man in the rest of the world finds obese American women attractive. Sure, they may be able to find some skinny guy from a third world country who will pretend to love them to get a green card, but any self-respecting man will give them a very wide berth.
Ho ho! Wide berth! I get it.
Naturally Price was hailed in the comments for his brave stance. According to dragnet,
The abomination that is the average American woman in flyover country constitutes nothing less than a full-scale loathing of male sexuality.
Andrew S., for his part, admits that
I always had a thing for cute heavy girls.
But he still thinks they’re stuck-up bitches:
Being in the midwest they are a dime a dozen. But since there aren’t a lot of attractive in shape or thin women in this part of the country, and most of the decent looking women have some meat on there bones, well, it was hard to stomach how women who pretty much anywhere else in the world would have been ignored acted like such perfect bitches.
Seriously, the “cute heavy girls” that Andrew prefers need to learn to properly hate themselves for being fat fatties. Maybe that way they’ll be more willing to put up with all this MRA bullshit.

Yes, this post contains
and high fat content. Because I’m fat, get it?
SO. SICK. of the Barbified ideal of femininity and feminine sexuality. Women are not molded plastic playthings; They are human mammals, with all the characteristics that entails, including body hair, fatty tissue, gas emissions, sweat, body odor, etc. Sound gross to you, W.F. Price? Too fucking bad. I’m not going to hide/change/disguise/eradicate my animality because you want me to look like an airbrushed, photo-shopped, odorless, fleshless parody of a woman.
I don’t paint my nails, wear makeup, or get my hair done. I don’t starve myself or kill myself with exercise to have the “perfect” body. I shower every other day. I never wear “fuckme heels” because I can’t walk in them. And if that offends you, it is your problem, not mine. My boyfriend still fucks me daily, so your concern about my sexual appeal is unwarranted and completely misplaced. I exist to satisfy no one’s sexual needs but my own and my partner’s. And if my personal appearance leads you to ignore me, so much to the good for both of us.

To which I say [please embed properly, please please embed properly]:
1. Fight for the rights of all men
2. Treat fat people as horrible. Forget there are fat dudes?
3. ????
4. FREEDOM?
Do Spearheader morons not realize that shield maidens fought in war? Ain’t that a nono to the gender essentialist fucks?
And nary a word about the entire food distribution system in the US set up to flat out make Americans as fat as possible-cannot cut into corporate profits damn it!
Nope, it is just out of spite that women are overweight. Has nothing to do with anything other than making men feel grossed out.
Oh right. Shieldmaidens. May their cervixes protect them in battle.
I’m just waiting for W.F. to notice that some of us ladies hate men so much that we are OLD. That’s right, MRAs. Your turn.
@manjaw- but many of us LIKE skinny people! I love my mom and my little sister, both of whom are tiny skinny people! Also my skinny friends and most of my skinny former boyfriends. I dunno, maybe I just live in a random alternate universe where people love and respect each other regardless of the size of our pants :/
“’m just waiting for W.F. to notice that some of us ladies hate men so much that we are OLD. That’s right, MRAs. Your turn.”
Actually you’re not too far off in my case. I dislike men like price so much I’ve let my hair go grey just to look too old to catch their eye.
And it works.
Well, darn it, the secret it out. The only reason why the BMI (Bullshit Medical Ignorance) numbers of so many people now fall into the totally fucking arbitrary zones that distinguish “overweight” and “obese” people from “normal” ones is to kill men’s boners. It has nothing to do with drug company profits, terrible medical and health policies, food deserts and food insecurity, increased industrial production of food which produce the cheapest and most damaging types of “foodstuff products” which in turn produces the massive correlation between obesity and poverty. Nope. It’s all about the feminists conspiring to make penis-havers sad.
I’ve always been curious as to what constitutes “fat” to entitled men? Have they quantified it? I’ve seen entitled douchebags call women who are within their ideal weight zone fat.
These are the same guys who turn around and scream about how women are all shallow bitches who only want to boink Brad Pitt. You know who I used to imagine boinking? Adrien Brody. Not exactly Brad Pitt.
@Lady Zomibe- There was a brilliant experiment a few years back where people in the Fat-o-Sphere played “Guess the Rotund’s Weight.” (the Rotund is a fat activist and blogger) Most people under-guessed by about 50 pounds.
Conversely- I’m about 5’5″ and about 195 lbs, which puts me comfortably in the “obese” range. Most of my friends and loved ones like to tell me that I’m “not fat” and are genuinely shocked when I tell them what my BMI is. So there’s that.
I really think that in our society, fat does not actually mean “more adipose tissue than average.” It means “person who is not rail thin that I do not want to have sex with.” I will freely cop to having an hourglass figure and being fairly conventionally attractive in all other respects than my weight, which is part of why I think I hear negative comments about my weight so rarely.
Price took down the Spearhead forum? But it was such a dazzling array of intelligence, wit, and open-mindedness. Does anyone know why?
It’s slow going but a lot of doctors are finally coming around to the notion that you can be overweight or fat and still be healthy. I work in healthcare and one of the doctors I know likes to say that he’d much rather see someone with a few extra pounds than be underweight.
I used to work with a woman whose generous backside actually saved her from a lower back injury. She fell through a hole several feet and landed on her ass. No fooling! The ER doctor said that the extra padding saved her from an injured coccyx.
Yeah, but did it help an MRA get a boner? Let’s focus on what really matters here.
There are studies (like the one below) that show that underweight can have an effect on mortality similar to morbid obesity (ie that it is healthiest to be either “average” or “overweight”)

Felix, my impression is that the discussion there had mostly moved to the blog, that only a few people that Price mostly didn’t like were using it, and it was being overrun with spam.
What a deeply unpleasant person he is to call another human being an abomination.
Oh, just in case you thought W.F. was only being misogynistic and fatphobic, he apparently wanted to remind everyone that he’s also classist — he sent one of his readers to People of Walmart as an example of how USian ladies are these days and why he hates them so.
I almost wish that Antz were right. That all we had to do to put an end to abusive asshats behaving like abusive asshats is to be fat. I’d be willing. Most everyone I know would be willing.
I don’t think MRAs get out much so maybe we could just tell them we are all fat and they would stop the abusive asshattery.
Also too and besides I had no idea that feminists had taken control of the agrabusiness in America just to mess with MRAs boners. Brilliant misandry!
Because no dude would rape a hairy fatty amirite? Hur hur hur!
I’m not really sure how being fat and/or hairy has an impact on this, but keep telling yourself that Antz.
A lot of women already do this, but I guess that’s just because a lot of us are big fat fatties.
Yeah see, a lot of women already do this too. In spite of restrictions on women serving in combat.
But I guess that too is because of the fatty revolt or something.
So, fat women are committing crimes against humanity by being fat. Got it.
Next up: Skinny women who won’t date short men are shallow bitches.
I have no problem with fat women.
It is not fat women that control the snatch mafia.
It is not fat women that emotionally torture young men with epithets like “creepy” and “loser”.
It is not fat women that sexually hypnotize men into doing their bidding.
It is not fat women, by and large, who are the enemy.
Like I’d sleep with him if I were skinny.
I’ll never understand people who throw a hissy fit about the appearance of people other than their partners. Look, if you’ve got preferences then you’ve got them, some people only want to date 5’9″ redheads with painted toenails, fine fine, follow your joy. But you don’t get to demand that every woman who dares enter your field of view be dateable to you.
“Snatch mafia?” Sexual hypnosis?
I hate to endanger your amazing tolerance toward my kind, but I’m a fatty and I think you’re a creepy loser.
“Men who are not the masculine ideal (Mr. Pitt; Mr. Depp; Mr. Lautner, etc.) are denigrated mercilessly.”
“…emotionally torture young men with epithets like “creepy” and “loser”.”
Sigh, Men aRe Angry Lieutenant, why do you keep coming back here?
No, TheMenAreAngry, fat women aren’t doing those things. Neither are thin women.
The only women who are doing those things are the ones in your head. Your imaginary conspiracy of man-hating feminists has nothing to do with reality.
