Laci Green, The Obese is NOT a Protected Class

Sadly I have to make this blog post yet again finding myself at odds with a good friend Laci Green host of a online MTV program called Braless.   Although the show claims to be about Pop Culture just about every video entry is about Feminisim and regurgitation of long ago disputed claims.  While I am so happy for Laci on her YouTube success and branching out to include things such as MTV and the lecture circuit, I am dismayed at her willingness to repeat claims that have long been disputed.  Today's entry is no different it is about weight and should it be legal to discriminate.



Let's clarify a few things, despite Laci's claim that this was NOT hooters the waitresses are known as Borgata Babes and a quick Google search disputes that claim.  Essentially to be a Borgata Babe you have to be a 9 or a 10.  They even put out a yearly calendar featuring their waitresses.

What is MGTOW and I can't be one

MGTOW stands for Men Going Their Own Way I will explain briefly what it is but first I wanted to point out two blogs I wrote on similar subjects.  The first is why I can not be a Men's Rights Activist

The second is why I as a man, can not be a feminist.

I would encourage you to read both blog posts prior to this one.  Clicking on either one of them will open up a new tab.  Then you can come back here to finish this post.

Robert R Jennings and the Unnecessary Apology

The story begins with Robert R Jennings President of Lincoln University, a Black University, giving a 26 minute speech at a Women's Convocation in September.  Only now in November has a 4 minute clip of the speech come to light.  From the looks of it, someone in the audience smuggled a potato into the auditorium and recorded this speech.  At the time of this post, no video of the full 26 minutes exists.

At the time of this blog there are 227 comments and about 30,000 views.  Most of the comments side with President Jennings and a few take issue with the title of the video.  Essentially the tl;dr version of the 4 minute speech is this.

Why I can't be a Men's Rights Activist

This is one of two posts written today.  The other is about why I can not call myself a feminist.

Let's begin by defining what a Men's Rights Activist, or MRA actually is.  In a nutshel, MRA's want the same rights granted to women.  In many ways they are a mirror of what feminism is, giving women the same rights as men.  However as each side is constantly looking at the grass on the other side, they fail to notice how green their side is.

Is it wrong to rank ladies by their appearance?

As one of my goals is to one day return to the trucking industry I have kept tabs on several news outlets regarding the trucking field.  One of them is Overdrive Magazine  Recently they did an article interviewing Maggie Stone.  She is a finalist in Overdrive's Most Beautiful.  You can read the article HERE.

I admit I do have mixed feelings about this.  Allow me to explain why.
