The past couple of weeks I have been on Facebook and have
noticed a peculiar trend. People have been sharing articles with titles resembling
this one, “5 Reasons to Date a Girl with an Eating Disorder.”
I will include a link to the article but it is basically
about how these, “types of women,” are easy, vulnerable, cost less money, and
so on. Females and Males share this article on Facebook saying it is ridiculous
and condescending, not realizing what they are actually doing.
What these angry feminists are doing in linking an article to
Facebook and giving the author revenue from his work. His opinions and words
could have been total fiction, but with every visit to the website, there is
more and more revenue generated. This vicious cycle has questioned whether people who write
articles are looking to talk about something serious or trying to get on the front
page of everyone’s Facebook account.
Why do you think the article is so popular anyway? It is
because of the harsh language and female slut shaming. If the majority of
people thought like this, then I don’t think it would be as popular to share. Instead
of ignoring the message and limiting potential views on the website, they are
sharing the content to friends who are likely to have similar views (and do the
exact same thing).
It doesn't matter whether the author gets to think a certain
way or change your mind. At the end of the day, he wants viewers to be
attracted to his website and make revenue from those views. My suggestions for
those who find any other articles like this are to IGNORE THEM. Reject them
from social media all together. Some might actually believe what they are saying and others might as well be writing fiction. Either way, they are using this topic as a way to take control of
female (and male) emotions while laughing all the way to the bank.
