@generalslug fine, then just ignore me -- block me. forget i exist. it's easy to do. there are a lot more writers out there. you won't miss anything. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug yeah i mean, the fact that the person arguing with me was calling me fug and shit obviously isn't a problem lol. misogyny is literally never a problem if i am the woman in question — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug @RageofBaltimore well yeah that's the point of capping w/o context i guess — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug i know that if you don't like me already, all you needed to see is like -- oh haha this hoe thinks she's hotter than christina??? lololol???? -- and i mean, there's your fuckin dunk. but those tweets weren't for you, they were for people struggling with body image. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug these numbers aren't a referendum on a person's beauty, much less their value. but they do get in the way. people agonize over dress sizes and jeans sizes and go on diets advertised to cut 'inches' from their bodies. my point is that beautiful people have all kinds of numbers. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug however, i pointed out, measurements vary widely from person to person. a 24 inch waist is likely a function of a person having been born relatively small, or slender-built. meanwhile a person with a 32 inch waist can be absolutely smashing — like christina hendricks. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug is probably somewhere in the 30-34in range. the reason i wanted to emphasize that is to point out that people are often extremely confused about what measurements correlate to and feel emotionally pressured to reach certain 'numbers' -- thinking, say, 36-24-26 is perfection. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug ok so what had happened there was a male editor at a rightwing mag had suggested christina hendricks had a 24 inch waist. i pointed out that i -- someone who is not even 5 feet tall -- have a waist about that size, 22in. i am a *vastly* smaller person. christina's, i then said, — PolitiTweet.org

@generalslug @RageofBaltimore what's blowing my mind is you keep insisting these remarks are totally fucking deranged and over the top -- they obviously are, because...they're trolling -- and yet still insisting there were zero tips that these aren't just my ordinary honest to god sentiments — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug i'm not going to ask you to delete or anything, i'm just gonna say the reason i'm so serious about body positivity is very personal to me, and it rules you got a sweet screencap out of this that you can use to giggle about me being a tradfash or whatever. namaste man good for you — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug i get that you don't like me and that you think this is what i actually think, but it seems like you actually did observe the argument and know that's what went down lol. you don't have to take me at my word, that's just straightforwardly what took place — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug @RageofBaltimore dude if you knew i was talking about christina hendricks then you knew i was being sarcastic toward someone who was body shaming yumi nu, so what the hell lol — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@intrnetdaughter sure. also taken totally out of context and means essentially the opposite of what it is being presented to mean here — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug and i do admit i find that somewhat entertaining — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug i also think it's...let's say...noticeable that there's a certain bubble-bursting tendency popular among certain ex-left types (welcome to the real world, leftoids!) who ape trad convictions but never have their own bubbles burst wrt the fact that they're just normal millennials — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@willactuallycry @generalslug jesus christ i'm just proud of them — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug i did think at the time that it was ironic that a nonzero number of people on twitter desperately want this to be what i'm actually like irl, like a frantic neurotic stepford wife psychopath, but i just ignored it bc it seemed so clearly over the top to me....welp lol — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug this is why i specifically address, in the first tweet, that i find the bored bitchy internet mean girl mien so obnoxious. this was me reflecting that poster's behavior back at her: see, everyone can be a bored bitchy mean asshole, you're not special, leave yumi nu alone lol — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@generalslug capped out of context but what was going on is that this person was an asshole calling yumi nu ugly compared to christina hendricks (a la jordan peterson) along the lines of 'beauty is objective and i am simply laying down harsh truths.' i just satirized that shit lol — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 yes that is the point i was making to those exact people — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 @CobraKeiser @generalslug i think all people have inherent value by nature of being human. think about it ding dong. how could a catholic think you only have value if you have babies? we have celibate priests, monks, and nuns lol. the literal pope has no children — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 it's been explained to you like 30 times by now that you just missed the context entirely. what's going on there is the reverse of what you think. i was defending plus sized models from jordan peterson fans lol — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 @CobraKeiser @generalslug so what you're saying is that you want to believe that's what i think so that you can get really upset about it, and you will resist all efforts to be corrected about what i actually think so that you can continue to feel bad — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 man that really got you — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 @CobraKeiser @generalslug you're not going to find my actual worldview in twitter shitposts. this is just a place for arguing with people over dumb shit (like sports illustrated.) i write about my worldview at length, like in the thousands of words, in magazines and newspapers — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 @CobraKeiser @generalslug that's weird because i talk about the universal value of human life nonstop, it's just that you don't listen to me. it's in literally everything i write, all the time. if you just, like, listened to me, you would see why i think my life has value (because i am a human being) — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 @CobraKeiser @generalslug ok but do you get that what was happening here was me mirroring this person's behavior back at them, not me reflecting my actual general worldview lol — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@fishontherun2 "also" 🫥 — PolitiTweet.org
