[quote]My best (gay) male friend ( whom I love more than words, look up to and simply adore ) once told me that my belly fat was hanging over the seat-belt in his car. I cried instantaneously knowing that my body was not even safe from HIS criticism, and was not ‘enough’ in his eyes.[/quote]

Again, this isn't any of these things. Not only did he only point it out, but if you're fat enough that it's hanging over the seat belt, and get upset about it pointed out, then do something about it.
Also I saw this comment, "gay men can definitely be misogynistic. do not give them a -blam!-ing inch. gay straight trans* even they -blam!-ing have a male privilege and know it - i’m sorry this happened to you - you think you can trust certain men, but often they -blam!- up"
I'm sorry what? Reading through this blog, while yes alot of the things on there are awful things, some of them are simply cases of people being dicks, or not at all, and that being confused with sexism.
This one is the worst for that.

The women who cry "shaming" for everyday observations people make are even worse. You got the slut shamers, fat shamers etc. it gets ridiculous. A simple observation made by somebody, usually male, is accused of "shaming a girl" as if she were a dog or something. Honestly it's ridiculous. I once told a friend of mine who asked if her outfit was okay for her date that it was a little too racy and came off as more "party and drink" rather than a good wholesome woman (which is what she was hoping for) she immediately accused me of "slut shaming" and accusing her of being a slut and that a revealing outfit doesn't mean a girl is loose. I didn't even say any of that. She did. She filled the blanks with her own radical feminist delusions and now we don't talk.
