NYT News Alert: Attractive Butts Are Attractive

[MisterCreosote]

Congratulations to this Times reporter, who has now become the last person on Earth to realize that men like to ogle attractive women, and that attractiveness is partially determined by the shape of their asses:

It's plagiarism.

Big, if true.

You guys have to read this. It is seriously the greatest New York Times trend story ever.

Tina Fey cited Ms. Lopez’s influence in “Bossypants.” “The first real change in women’s body image came when JLo turned it butt-style,” she wrote. “That was the first time that having a large-scale situation in the back was part of mainstream American Beauty. Girls wanted butts now. Men were free to admit that they had always enjoyed them.”

Does that sound like Tina Fey, to be commenting seriously on the wonders of the female butt and its empowerment of women everywhere?

Here's the FULL excerpt of what she wrote:

But I think the first real change in women’s body image came when JLo turned it butt-style. That was the first time that having a large-scale situation in the back was part of mainstream American beauty. Girls wanted butts now. Men were free to admit that they had always enjoyed them. And then, what felt like moments later, boom—Beyoncé brought the leg meat. A back porch and thick muscular legs were now widely admired. And from that day forward, women embraced their diversity and realized that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Ah ha ha. No. I’m totally messing with you. All Beyonce and JLo have done is add to the laundry list of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.”[/]

And it sucks for normal-looking girls and women, who never get hit on now.

Typical tripe from the Times.

Don't forget about the thigh gap.

To combat the dread flatness, she recommends everything from leg lifts while on all fours to simply “squeezing your booty at the bus stop.”

And if you're too tired to squeeze your own booty, there are dozens of men who can help you out!

The thigh gap. I just heard about that a couple of weeks ago. That is some damn funny stuff. (And now that I've heard of it, I think I know a few women whose workouts are aimed at that goal.)

The Chive, which is Maxim-plus-plus, but on the Internet, I believe has girls send in photos of their gap. They have some cute name for it.

I'm sure The Times will have a story on it .. circa 2022.

It also marked her place in the social order: ‘high class’ women did not carry excess baggage in the trunk.”

They're too highbrow to even say "junk in the trunk."

God I love this story. Thanks, Creosote.

For the record, I also "came of age" in the '90s, and did not once give eminence to Linda Hamilton's sinewy arms in "Terminator 2."

JLo and Iggy Azalea's new video, "Booty", will supply you all your big butt needs, with a dose of thigh gap for good measure.

Not only that, but T2 came out a year before Baby Got Back did. So he was coming of age in 1991 but out of the culture by 1992?

That was a quote from a Florida Gulf Coast Univ. professor who "has written extensively about the cultural significance of the female buttocks," which is in itself outstanding. Does she teach a class in this?

They actually DID write one about how lots of women own cats and not all of them are "crazy cat ladies."
