Airbrushing Curves, Privatizing Schools, & War On Women (The Point)

Should public schools be privatized? Are the Republicans really waging a war on women? Some magazines are now airbrushing women to make them appear bigger and curvier - is this progress? Ana Kasparian (Co-host of The Young Turks and TYT University) lead this weeks panel to discuss these issues and more with Manjusha Kulkarni (executive director - South Asian Network), Jessica Levinson (professor - Loyola Law School), and Meghan Daum (Author, and LA Times Opinion Columnist). Special thanks to Linda Darling-Hammond (Professor - Stanford University) for sending in a point.

People like you are why I am a male feminist.

[msmeganpmc]

well you've clearly been affected by photoshopping, you think the finished product is reality to you.

[Nomme Young]

Teach your children what is reality and what is fiction.

[sorathunderknight]

.....Hmmm some would argue that nature is perfection....I'm not saying I wanna be perfect...no idea where you got that from. What I'm saying is as humans we strive towards perfection, or we wouldn't care about getting wrinkles or zits, or try and fix a nose that they were born with. If you are so focused on your politically incorrect ideas, then I'm not going to take the time to educate you further.

[doublecrosserfm]

Yeah, most anti-feminist men present themselves in a similar way. Which is why MRA is considered a walking joke to most. Cause they act like little children who aren't included in the discussion. Whine, whine, whine.

[doublecrosserfm]

In nature there is no perfection. What you want is a fallacy and you'll never meet in reality and you'll never be it yourself. Grow up.

[sorathunderknight]

......Yeah no shit....There's nothing wrong with liking to see something in it's most perfect form. That's what human nature is, people naturally like seeing people look way more perfect than they truly are. And natural's not always better, take a big bite of horse shit, and tell me if you think it's better.

[doublecrosserfm]

They need photoshop? Hate to break it to you, what you were seeing was a human female... Maybe you want pretend cartoon people, but that's not natural.

[IamTheSherm]

Dammit. I came here for the Kate Upton thumbnail and it is a bunch of professionally offended feministas.

[sorathunderknight]

.....No, not at all. See the thing about being human is that everyone has flaws, so people look for a partner that excepts them even with those flaws. I don't think its reality, I think it's called being human.

[Diknog]

Depends, it can be a lot of things. Mosquito bite, CPR, Vaccination, stabbing, gunshot, surprise sex, your definition of "rape" is far too vague.
