    Default Mayim Bialik is jealous of a young starlet

    http://www.kveller.com/mayim-bialik/...ariana-grande/


    Really?! Come on, you are a regular at a popular sitcom, and a goddamn doctor in neuro-science!!!

    Why the fuck do you care about barely legal celebrities? If they want to pose naked for a magazine, is their goddamn problem!!!!!

    Use your time to write a paper trying to explain why you're a jealous fat cow instead of bashing a young woman who has done nothing to you.




    That being said, I'm not a huge fan of Ariana Grande nor I find her that attractive. Her voice is great, but she's over a foot shorter than me and women of her dimensions do nothing for me.. At the same time, I wouldn't write a blog entry bashing another woman because of what she decides to do with her body.

    What other name should I call a heavier woman who appears to be jealous of a better looking woman posing sex for an ad?

    I don't think she's jealous, I think she's just hoping to shelter her kids from sex and let them have a childhood a little longer.

    That line of thought is a by-product of religious people (like her, an orthodox Jew).

    Uggghhhhhhh x 100

    "I mean, I know that society is patriarchal and women are expected to be sexy and sexually available no matter what we do in society, but I guess now I need to explain that to my sons?"

    Why do so many parents justify their personal dislikes by claiming they're being wrongly forced to explain it to their kids? I hear the same thing about gay marriage all the time. And why is she so against explaining basic feminist concepts to her sons?!

    And why is the patriarchy Grande's fault in this rant? Not only is this obnoxious but it's completely illogical.

    "The secret is that when there is no camera around, Victoria probably likes a cozy robe, a cup of tea, and Jean-Paul Sartre’s autobiography." Also LOL because I have spent more than my fair share of time reading and drinking tea in my lingerie. Shit's sexy and makes staying home more fun!

    ^ Well when someone uses names for sex workers as a pejorative, you know they have issues. Especially "street walker" really?! Sexist and classist from someone who claims to be a liberal progressive feminist. Gross!

    "We’ve had conversations about how Barbie is skinny and hard, which makes her uncomfortable to snuggle. We’re talking about how hard it must be for Barbie to walk in her high heels, and that she can’t run and play in those shoes."

    ^ Has she never seen a woman who is hard because she's muscular? And wtf she obviously has no idea what amazing things pole dancers and ballet dancers in pointe shoes can do.

    Sorry but I agree with her (and I'm NOT a fat cow). I am tired of all these trashy "celebs" like this "singer". I'm tired of watching some show and having some bimbo singing who is obviously about the look, not the talent. This trend is disgusting. If she saw a a billboard of this person in lingerie it is tacky. If I had a daughter I'd rather she grew up like Mayim (who has a Ph.D in a scientific field)than this airhead bimbo with little talent.

    Btw I saw this Ariana Grande a few weeks ago on AGT and had to turn the channel because she not only couldn't sing, but she was dressed as a cat. I like my singers to actually SING. Adele would never dress like this, and for all her faults neither would Amy Winehouse if she was living. Why? because they can SING.

    Also, strippers being against this trend doesn't mean one is opposed to sex. However, this trend of making everything sexual everything has lead to the crap we have today. 20 years ago it wasn't as bad and back then strippers could make money from just dancing and often just dancing in bikinis. Men today don't pay for that because they can see it everywhere.

    I can run after my son with high heels. I acquired that skill when I was stripping.

    this culture has such an unhealthy view of sex and nudity..either its disgusting/taboo/naughty and should never be shown or (women in particular) are shown as objects to get dick's hard and not real people.

    So was she wearing lingerie in what I am assuming is a lingerie ad... The point? I tried searching for this advertisement and couldn't find it. In fact, I only found two photos of her in what could be construed as lingerie in my initial "Ariana Grande lingerie" Google search, and neither of them were what I would consider to be sexualized at all.

    It's all fine and well to be "conservative and old-fashioned." For as liberal as most people think I am, and I am a progressive thinker, I am actually a pretty conservative person. But there is a HUGE difference between being conservative (and thereby not directly exposing children to this material) and being an asshole about it. Talking crap and/or trying to avoid the subject does NOT benefit children. Quite the opposite, it is a detriment to them because they will perceive the parent as sex-negative and will instead turn to less reliable sources for information.
    Exotic dancing is like any other job.
    If you work in an office, you wear dress shoes and a suit.
    If you work in a restaraunt, you wear skid resistant shoes and a uniform.
    If you work in a strip club, you wear 7" stilettos and lycra g-strings.

    I think the more important conversation to have with her sons about Barbie is that, if Barbie was a real person, the insane measurements Mattel gave her would stop her from having the ability to walk... the fact that she wears high heels a lot, well, that's low on the list of feminist issues in my opinion.

    I don't agree with the ad, but I also find the title of this thread to be incredibly offensive... why is she a "fat cow" just because she thinks that our word is filed with too much sex? Why do we need to bring her looks into the conversation at all?

    Isn't she also a big proponent of attachment parenting? Yeah, our opinions are just never going to align (not that it's any of my business how she raises her own children). Plus her TV show is horrible.

    It does bother me when parents act like it's other people's responsibility to censor the world for their children, though. To be fair, I find it equally annoying when childless adults act like children don't have a right to exist in society.

    I am somewhat intrigued by the argument I've seen on SW that if society as a whole were more conservative/modest/prudish that we as strippers would do better business and be able to charge more money for doing less. That, in a lot of ways, our livelihood depends on nudity and the expression of female sexuality being taboo. I'd never thought of it that way before.

    I just hate how everyone always asserts their opinion as fact. While she has a blog and is free to write what she wants, it doesn't change the fact that she is using a harsh/slut-shaming tone, and that what she wants is completely unrealistic and delusional in our technology-ridden society. Also, telling OTHER people what they should do with their OWN life/career/body/look is always a red flag for me when deciding if that person falls into the delusional self-righteous (aka get away from me forever) category. Stop caring about other people, they will NEVER change for you so get over it lol.

    Sex is normal and technology is abundant, so even if you're overbearing & delusional (she definitely is), your child will still learn about sex at like age 7 or maybe even 5, and then will go through deep hormonal changes starting at like age 11 or something. Talking to your child about REALITY (aka sex) instead of shaming reality and thus sending mixed messages and inducing future complexes, is a much better approach. And I'm not even being biased, just using common sense and realism. Being delusional won't make reality go away.

    I remember when one of my nephews was 6 (about 7 years ago), he made a drawing of a naked woman and wrote like "I will touch her breasts" LOL. My sister is deeply religious, but its because of the internet that he was able to know about all this. Or maybe he learned it from a peer who had internet access, so even restricting internet use does nothing anymore. She had many kids before him (before technology was as abundant) and never had this issue. She just thought it was funny and bizarre though luckily lol.

    For starters, it was Mayim who brought Ariana's looks into question on her blog.

    Second, if you (or any SWer) is going to chastize me for the words I used then they should go to the "body business" subforum and do the same to any member who also use said words. I see tons of fat shaming on that subforum, but many of those posts are cheered with "thanks".

    At the risk of thread jacking, I think it's a delicate balance of cultural, sexual, and economic factors and not as simple as "more modesty = more money for strippers."

    For example, what about strippers who dance in the Bible Belt? From the reviews I've read, it seems like with the exception of Texas, stripping there sucks. So that's a case of "more modesty/greater taboo = less money for strippers." (Although I'm sure economics are a huge factor there too -- the south in general has so much poverty while Texas has a good standard of living i.e. more disposable income.) What about Vegas, ostensibly Mecca for strippers, where prostitution is legal and accessible just a short drive away?

    ... I'm going to stop there before I go full-blown academic on your post, lol.

    I think you're misunderstanding my comment. I'm not chastising you for fat-shaming, I just don't understand what her being fat has to do with her complaining about her sons being exposed to too much sex?

    She's not making a comment about how the world is filled with too many unrealistically beautiful, skinny women being shoved in young girls faces and that's bad for them, she's complaining about clothing ads that are basically just people engaged in foreplay, and saying she doesn't want her sons being exposed to tons of SEX. How does that make her "jealous" and what, pray tell, does her weight have to do with her comments about sex? You posted an article in the lounge that is about social commentary, not an an article that is about beauty in the body business thread, so I really don't see what one has to do with the other....

    I fail to see what being an Orthodox Jew has to do with wanting to shield her kids from sex everywhere... I'm far from what you seem to consider "religious folk" and also a proponent of being open with kids instead of telling them "birds and bees" style deflections... But I would not want to be answering my 3 year olds questions about sex because they saw a billboard. Kids that young should be worrying about building forts and sand castles, not sex.

    I see a lot of this kind of outrage from femi-mommies as I call them. I have a few friends like this that worship Mayim...What do they all have in common? They're all stay at home moms with short hair cuts that are rabid feminists and a bit unfortunate looking. Sorry I don't have a nicer way of putting it. I don't care what they look like, but they're always going on and on about "sexualizing women in this country" and getting outraged over Victoria's Secret ads being too close to the indoor playground at the mall. They don't have lives. They're jealous of the pretty girls their husband fantasize about and everything always comes back around to "the babbiiieeeezz." It's annoying. They're totally fine with breastfeeding their children until age 10, but a pretty girl in her bra or nude in an advertisement makes them lose their fucking minds.

    Totally. Caring about the lives of OTHER PEOPLE is just SO impractical and pointless. If they don't like it, well then they shouldn't look at it or give it attention.

    And its also really embarrassing that women like her target the model/woman and not the actual company or those behind the advertising industry/consumerism. I mean, that is the point though... The 1% (more like the .0000001%) that actually own these marketing/media companies actually WANT us to fight against each other, thus taking the blame/focus off the .0000001% who own and mastermind these companies. They WANT us to blame the model/woman and blame each other... but doing that just shows a lack of intelligence.

    And yes, its delusional to think she has any leverage against a HUGE trillion+ dollar industry (consumerism/advertisement). Nope, changes are not going to happen. So get over it or ignore it, and maybe live your own life. That's really what she needs to hear. I cannot STAND people who care SO MUCH about what other people choose to do.

    That being said, models/women/people in general are always going to take well-paying fun jobs like elite modeling contracts. Not everyone hates showing off their body either. The fact that this woman implies that a woman showing her body is degrading, well that in itself has made her lose the feminism game. Game over. Making the choice for A WOMAN (whether you are a woman or not) that looking sexy (or even nude) is degrading, takes away that woman's ability to make choices over her body, and entitlement to feeling empowered for her choices and body. That is the opposite of feminism because feminism is about CHOICE. Thus pushing your (degrading) opinion on them and not letting them think for themselves is actually the OPPOSITE of feminism. Game over.

    Rashida Jones made a similar rant earlier this year, too: she's not a religious nut job like Mayim, however. IMO, she's also easier on the eyes as well.

    However, it's not her call to make such remarks.

    Humans are sexual being from the moment they're born until they die. It's unrealistic to shelter kids from sexuality. In other words, it's important for parent to explain sex and sexuality to their children as soon as possible: there are many age appropiate ways to do so, and when in doubt said parent can ask a professional.

    It's actually sickening seeing people (especially religious people) sheltering their kids away from sexuality.

    I don't agree with the ad, but I also find the title of this thread to be incredibly offensive... why is she a "fat cow" just because she thinks that our word is filed with too much sex? Why do we need to bring her looks into the conversation at all?
    That's what makes this weird to me too. I don't see it as an issue that she's jealous but rather that she saw a billboard with a singer in lingerie. I wouldn't be happy seeing an ad like that either.

    It does bother me when parents act like it's other people's responsibility to censor the world for their children, though. To be fair, I find it equally annoying when childless adults act like children don't have a right to exist in society.

    I am somewhat intrigued by the argument I've seen on SW that if society as a whole were more conservative/modest/prudish that we as strippers would do better business and be able to charge more money for doing less. That, in a lot of ways, our livelihood depends on nudity and the expression of female sexuality being taboo. I'd never thought of it that way before.
    It really does correlate because when sexuality was more taboo the money was better and less chance to do anything risque. Look at burlesque. By today's standards it is very tame and can even be shown on television. Burlesque performers made a lot and didn't often have to interact with customers. I know of course there was that undercurrent of prostitution but many more were clean dancers. This was back of course when women's jobs were limited. Same thing with Playboy Bunnies. Their rules were super strict (no dating customers was a big one)and by today's standards the costume is nothing. Back then they were making tremendous amounts of money. Compare all of this today where we have posts asking if a dancer has to allow men to suck their nipples or worse (and to me that is ugh). Of course there was prostitution in the clubs but also possible for clean dancers to make money.

    Second, if you (or any SWer) is going to chastize me for the words I used then they should go to the "body business" subforum and do the same to any member who also use said words. I see tons of fat shaming on that subforum, but many of those posts are cheered with "thanks".
    But it's not the same thing. If she had made a blog saying Ariana's body was skinny and unrealistic and all of that I can see that point. It's not. I don't even think she's jealous.
